“…The prevalence of abdominal obesity in this study was 14.8% and 11.8% from those of high and low socioeconomic status, respectively. These values, despite being high, are lower than those found in southeastern Brazil, where the overall prevalence of abdominal obesity was 15% for both sexes, with 21% for boys and 10% for girls, respectively 4 . However, it is emphasized that the study in this region possibly present higher prevalence of abdominal obesity for has included only students from private schools, where the prevalence of overweight is higher 32 .…”

“…The prevalence of such risk factors has increased in the adult population, however, have also been found high prevalence in children and adolescents [3][4][5] . Among children and adolescents, excess body weight is an increasingly common risk factor 6 , causing, besides cardiovascular problems, sleep apnea, hypertension, osteoarticular disorders and low self-esteem [7][8][9][10] .…”

Objective: To analyze and compare the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in scholars from different socio-economic status. Methods: A total of 1021 children and adolescents were evaluated. Weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. Both physical activity practice and socio-economic status (low and high) were reported. Results were analyzed through frequencies of variables and the chi-square test. Results: A lower prevalence of physical inactivity (p<0.001) and higher prevalence of abdominal obesity (p=0.038) and overweight (p=0.010) were observed in the sample from high socio-economic status. No differences regarding elevated blood pressure were observed in those from low and high socio-economic status. When the cardiovascular risk factors were aggregated, the prevalence of one or two factors was also higher among the subjects from high socio-economic status. Conclusion: With the exception of physical inactivity and elevated blood pressure, the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was higher in those from high socio-economic status.

“…The use of BIA as an indicator of GC is justified by its significant relation with different indicators of adiposity, as well as for its relative efficacy in indicating increased fat values in the Brazilian pediatric population 11 . Besides, the absence of mistakes related to the appraiser shows that this method is a useful instrument to obesity's diagnosis.…”

“…Based on data from a pilot study, a sample loss of 6% was estimated. Therefore, a collection of information concerning 853 individuals enrolled in five randomly selected private schools (the procedures referring to the selection of the sample were shown in a previous publication) 11 was planned. In the five elected schools, a total of 860 students agreed to participate in the research.…”

Objective: To describe the effects of long-term multidisciplinary inpatient therapy on body composition of severely obese adolescents. Methods:A total of 728 extremely obese adolescents, including 249 boys (aged 15.25±1.56 years) and 479 girls (aged 15.34±1.59 years) received multidisciplinary therapy during a period of 3 to 9 months. The therapy consisted of reduced energy intake, dietetic education, physical exercises and psychological therapy. Body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis, and physical capacity was assessed by the multistage cycle ergometer test. Type and duration of each activity were recorded using a daily controlled activity diary.Results: There was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in body mass (27.84±12.49 kg for boys and 21.60±9.87 kg for girls), body mass index (9.19±3.88 kg/m 2 for boys and 7.72±3.98 kg/m 2 for girls) and fat mass. In addition, the percentage of fat free mass increased significantly (p < 0.05) in boys (from 58.8±6.41 to 69.98±7.43%) and in girls (from 51.86±4.96 to 60.04±5.65%). Conclusion:Long-term multidisciplinary approach allows significant reduction in severe obesity, preserving growth and percentage of fat free mass.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2009;85(3):243-248: Adolescent, body composition, body weight loss, exercise, nutrition, obesity. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever os efeitos da terapia multidisciplinar de longo prazo sobre a composição corporal de adolescentes obesos severos internados.Métodos: Um total de 728 adolescentes obesos extremos, incluindo 249 meninos (15,25±1,56 anos) e 479 meninas (15,34±1,59 anos), recebeu terapia multidisciplinar durante um período de 3 a 9 meses. A terapia consistiu de redução da ingestão energética, orientação dietética, exercícios físicos e terapia psicológica. A composição corporal foi analisada pela bioimpedância elétrica, e a aptidão física foi avaliada pelo teste em ciclo ergômetro multiestágios. O tipo e duração de cada atividade foram avaliados através de recordatório diário de atividade física.Resultados: Foi verificada redução significante (p < 0,05) na massa corporal (27,84±12,49 kg para meninos e 21,60±9,87 kg para meninas), índice de massa corporal (9,19±3,88 kg/m 2 para meninos e 7,72±3,98 kg/m 2 para meninas) e da gordura corporal. Além disso, a porcentagem de massa magra aumentou significantemente (p < 0,05) nos meninos (de 58,8±6,41 para 69,98±7,43%) e nas meninas (de 51,86±4,96 para 60,04±5,65%). Conclusão:A terapia multidisciplinar de longo prazo permite reduzir acentuadamente a obesidade severa, preservando o crescimento e a porcentagem de massa magra. J Pediatr (Rio J) IntroduçãoA obesidade infantil alcançou proporções de epidemia em todo o mundo apesar dos grandes esforços para promover a redução de peso. A prevalência tem aumentado a uma velocidade alarmante, afetando mais de 75% de crianças e adolescentes com sobrepeso ou obesos que vivem em países de baixa renda e em desenvolvimento, particularmente em áreas urbanas 1 . No Brasil, seis milhões de crianças e adolescentes têm sobrepeso o...
