“…11 Furthermore, the rate of overweight found was superior to those reported in the latest PNDS (2006), both for the country as a whole (6.6%) and for the North (5.2%), Northeast (6.0%), Southeast (6.7%), South (8.8%), and Midwest (7.0%) Regions. 8 As the incidence of overweight and obesity increases in children under the age of 5 throughout Brazil, in a phenomenon that has paralleled a systematic reduction in malnutrition rates, 8 we highlight the case of Feira de Santana, 12 a municipality in which high prevalence rates of overweight (9.3%) and obesity (4.4%) have been reported in children attending private and public schools; notably, overweight and obesity rates were higher among children attending a private school (13.4 and 7.0% respectively) than among those attending public school (6.5 and 2.7%).…”

Objectives: To describe the prevalence of and factors associated with overweight in children under 4 years of age in Feira de Santana, state of Bahia, Brazil. Methods:Cross-sectional study nested within a birth cohort of 793 children born in Feira de Santana, Brazil. Independent variables were related to infant characteristics, social and demographic factors, maternal reproductive aspects, and diet of the child at age 4 months. The dependent variable was nutritional status, as assessed by weight-for-height ratio compared to Multicentre Growth Reference Study standards and obtained with the use of the software ANTHRO. Z scores of -2 and +2 above or below the median for the reference population were established as normality cutoff points. Child height and weight were measured with an anthropometer and digital scales, respectively; all measurements were taken in triplicate. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (CEP/UEFS), under registration number 096/2006. Results:The prevalence of overweight was 12.5%. Adequate birth weight (RR 2.75; 95%CI 1.50-5.05), primiparity (RR 1.61; 95%CI 1.09-2.35), and maternal employment outside the home at age 4 months (RR 1.73; 95%CI 1.16-2.59) were associated with overweight. Conclusions:In this study, adequate birth weight, primiparity and maternal employment outside the home were associated with overweight in children. The rate of overweight found, which surpassed that reported by other studies conducted across the country (including Bahia), point to a risk of child obesity in Feira de Santana.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2010;86(4):311-316: Nutritional status, anthropometry, overweight.

“…These results are equivalent to another study, which investigated the food intake of 230 children in day care centers in Brasília -DF and found that the habitual consumption profile showed up high in sugar and margarine and medium in biscuits and soda. The authors observed the early introduction of refined sugar, snack, soda, fast food, canned / processed meats and sweets/treats [20]. Similar data were obtained by The Oliveira et al [8], which analyzed the complementary feeding of children in the first two years of life and also identified an early start of complementary food consumption and an increase of refined sugar consumption with increasing age.…”
