Associação entre estado nutricional e atividade física em escolares da Rede Municipal de Ensino em Corumbá - MS

Abstract

A sedentary life style is a factor of risk for the development of overweight and childhood obesity, conditions associated with dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension and insulin resistance, among other disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status and the association with the profile of physical activity in Municipal Schools in Corumbá -MS. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 403 pupils, aged 7-10 years, in which children with Body Mass Index (BMI) values > 85 th and < 95 th and > 95 th percentile were classified in risk of overweight and overweight, respectively. The index of physical activity was determined by a specific questionnaire for the study, to obtain data about duration (minutes), intensity (metabolic equivalent) and energy expenditure (kcalories) of both active and sedentary physical activities. A prevalence of 6.2% e 6.5% to risk of overweight and overweight, respectively, was verified, with higher prevalence in girls than in boys. Most physical activities performed by children were light (< 3 METs) and moderated (3 a 6 METs); no vigorous (> 6 METs) physical activity was recorded. The older the children, the lesser the time spent in active physical activities. Normal-weight children are more active, practice more intense physical activities and spend less time watching television and playing video-games than overweight children. The data emphasize the importance of promoting changes in the life-style through the introduction of healthy habits, since infancy, and their maintenance for the whole life. Active children favor an active healthy adult population too, which can contribute, consequently, for a reduction in the incidence of morbidity and mortality at adulthood.

Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Children

“…When the results of this study were compared with those of other national and international studies, higher (1,16) and lower (17)(18) percentages are also found. This divergence is not of interest since being overweight might be currently affecting a larger number of individuals earlier in life or is simply related to sampling variations and diagnosis methods.…”

Fatores comportamentais associados ao sobrepeso e à obesidade em escolares do Estado de Santa Catarina

“…Para a garantia de uma vida saudável, a recomendação é realizar 60 minutos diários de atividade física moderada e intensa, de maneira acumulativa, em horas de educação física, recreação, esportes fora da escola, antes e depois dos programas da escola (BARUK et al, 2006). Pediatrics (2001), o tempo gasto por crianças e adolescentes diante da TV e com jogos eletrônicos não deve ultrapassar duas horas por dia.…”

“…Estudos pontuais desenvolvidos em escolas de ensino público e privado no Brasil revelaram que a obesidade está associada significativamente com escolaridade elevada dos pais, alta renda familiar e presença nas residências de TV, computador, telefone e video game, além de mostrarem que crianças eutróficas são mais ativas, praticam atividades físicas mais intensas e gastam menos tempo assistindo à televisão e jogando video games do que aquelas com excesso de peso (OLIVEIRA et al, 2003;BARUK et al, 2006).…”
