“…Also, insulin resistance (determined using the 75 th percentile of the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance; HOMA-IR) was detected in 27% of the adolescents and was more prevalent among younger adolescents (12 to 14 years), those residing in the southern and south-eastern regions of the country, and those who were physically inactive [ 17 ]. Regarding the lipid profile, de Andrade et al [ 17 ] found substantial proportions of individuals with borderline and high levels of TG, in addition to low levels of HDL-C. Cunha et al [ 31 ] analysed the lipid profile of 600 adolescents (10 to 19 years of age) in the state of Paraná (south Brazil) and found altered lipid levels, and high proportions of low HDL-C (52%) and borderline or high TG (30%), relatively consistent with the frequencies reported in the ERICA investigation (46.6 and 19.8%, respectively). In the adjusted analysis of the lipid variables, only TG was associated with insulin resistance.…”

Background The prevalence of several cardiovascular metabolic disorders are increasingly cause for concern in adolescents worldwide. Given the complex interrelations between metabolic risk (MR) and sociodemographic variables, the present study aims to examine the association between the presence of MR with sociodemographic characteristics (sex, skin color, residential area, and parental socioeconomic status) in adolescents from Southern Brazil. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with 1,152 adolescents (507 males) aged between 12 and 17 years. MR was assessed using a continuous score (cMetS; sum of Z-scores of the following variables: waist circumference, systolic blood pressure (SBP), glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C, inverse], triglycerides [TG], and estimated cardiorespiratory fitness [CRF, inverse]). Poisson regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic variables with the dichotomized cMetS and separate metabolic variables. The results were expressed with prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results The presence of MR (evaluated by the cMetS) was observed in 8.7% of adolescents. Higher MR was less prevalent among non-white adolescents (PR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.93; 0.99). Adolescents living in rural areas had a lower prevalence of the following metabolic variables; low HDL-C (PR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.94; 0.97), elevated TG (PR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.92; 0.99), elevated glucose (PR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.95; 0.98), and low CRF levels (PR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.85; 0.92). Whereas, SBP was higher in those living in rural areas (PR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.05; 1.17). In girls, there was a higher prevalence of raised TG (PR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02; 1.10) and lower levels of CRF (PR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.16; 1.24), but a lower prevalence of elevated glucose (PR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.97; 0.99). Conclusion Higher MR prevalence was lower in those self-reporting non-white skin color and selected MR factors were less prevalent in those living in rural areas. The identification of groups at higher MR is important for early prevention and monitoring strategies for both Type 2 diabetes and later cardiovascular disease. Future studies should be conducted to assess the socio-cultural aspects of the relationships between MR and socio-cultural and lifestyle variables.

“…The purpose of presenting this topic to children was to provide knowledge about risk factors for heart disease, by demonstrating several risk factors for CVD, which can be grouped into two main groups: modifiable and non-modifiable (15). The same author also mentions as modifiable risk factors: dyslipidemia, tobacco exposure, lack of physical exercise/physical activity and body mass index (BMI) ⩾30 kg/m².…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the content and appearance of an educational game for children aged 7 to 10 years, focusing mainly on cardiovascular health promotion. Method: The study used methodological research, with a quantitative approach. The validation process included the participation of 17 specialists in children and/or cardiovascular health. A concordance index of at least 0.80 was considered for content validation and 0.75 for the appearance of the proposed educational material. Results: The proposal of the educational game was considered valid, through some suggestions, in view of the purpose of sensitizing children in relation to the promotion of cardiovascular health while still in childhood. Final considerations: As a relevant factor in the use of games as strategies to improve health education, we emphasize that the participant is the active agent and the protagonist of the health-disease process.

“…Faria-Neto et al (2016) também observaram resultados semelhantes quanto à prevalência da hipolipidemia nas regiões Norte (58,7%) e Nordeste (51,6%). Enquanto Cunha et al (2018) observou valores similares na região Sul (52%).…”

“…Resultados semelhantes foram encontrados em estudo realizado na região Sudeste onde os níveis elevados de CT (40%), LDL-c (35%) e TG (45%) prevaleceram em crianças de 2 a 11 anos, e baixos níveis de HDL-c prevaleceram em 41% dos adolescentes de 12 a 19 anos (Gomes et al, 2020). Outro estudo realizado com adolescentes entre 10 e 19 anos na região Sul também mostrou que a hipolipidemia estava presente em 52% dos indivíduos (Cunha et al, 2018). Estes fatos corroboram os relatos presentes na I Diretriz de Prevenção da Aterosclerose na Infância e na Adolescência (Giuliano et al, 2005), na qual é Development, v. 9, n. 11, e3759119865, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i11.9865 citado que os níveis séricos de lipídeos e lipoproteínas podem sofrer interferências de acordo com a idade e o sexo durante o crescimento e desenvolvimento das crianças e adolescentes.…”

Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar um diagnóstico situacional da prevalência de dislipidemias em crianças e adolescentes no Brasil. E, verificar na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) se há uma proposta de abordagem nas escolas brasileiras sobre hábitos saudáveis de vida e promoção da saúde. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa utilizando-se da abordagem da revisão integrativa de dados do perfil lipídico disponíveis em teses e dissertações. A avaliação interpretativa da BNCC foi realizada através da descrição de habilidades e competências das disciplinas de Educação Física, Ciências e Biologia para verificar a presença do tema promoção da saúde e provocar uma reflexão sobre maneiras ou formas de abordagem desse conteúdo no ensino do país. Os resultados demonstram que é alta a prevalência de dislipidemia em crianças e adolescentes propiciando um potencial risco para o desenvolvimento de doença cardiovascular na vida adulta. Além disso, de acordo com a BNCC, as diretrizes de orientação do tema nos âmbitos escolares ocorrem de forma discreta e somente após a idade na qual os hábitos individuais já estão estabelecidos. Portanto, este estudo mostra a necessidade de medidas para o diagnóstico precoce, associado a programas de prevenção das dislipidemias e ações de educação, conscientização e definição de políticas públicas voltadas à promoção da saúde. Além disso, sugere que o conhecimento científico articulado ao Ensino de Ciências, pode estimular o processo de percepção dos educandos sobre a importância de uma rotina de vida fisicamente ativa e a implantação de hábitos alimentares saudáveis, para a promoção da saúde.
