“…The increasing prevalence of overweight has already been observed in other specific populations, such as Xavante in Mato Grosso, with an overweight prevalence of 27.5% in adolescents 28 , and in Alto Xingu where the adolescents' BMI was higher than the country's average BMI, also suggesting a high frequency of overweight 29 . The nutritional profile of students from public schools in Juiz de Fora (MG) with a mean age of 10.8 years was also similar to that of the present sample given that 7.5% and 10.4% of the women were overweight and obese, respectively, and 13.5% and 7.6% of the men were overweight and obese, respectively 30 .…”

Objective: To characterize the nutritional status of quilombola students and determine the food security status of their households. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with students aged six to nineteen years from quilombola communities in twelve municipalities of Goiás categorized by age, gender, school location (urban/rural), and nutritional status based on the World Health Organization's height-for-age and body mass index for-age charts. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale was used for measuring food (in)security in their families. Descriptive and association analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test at a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: In a sample of 226 students, overweight (17.2%) was more common than malnutrition (1.3%), especially in students attending urban schools (28.2%) (p<0.05). Most (75.2%) quilombola families experienced food insecurity, especially mild. Conclusion: The apparent contradiction of excess weight and food insecurity occurring simultaneously indicates the need of revising the study instruments and the causal network that identify poverty.

“…The few studies that have also analyzed the anthropometric profile of the same indigenous population at different times have confirmed the rapid pace and pervasiveness of the ongoing nutrition transition (see, for instance, the studies carried out by Santos and Coimbra (1996) and Lourenço et al (2008) among the Suruí from Rondônia and Sampei et al (2007) among the Kamayurá of Mato Grosso State). As in the Xavante case, those case studies emphasize the association between the emergence of overweight and obesity with the commoditization of indigenous economies, bringing about the westernization of indigenous diets and the reduction of physical activity levels.…”

Nutrition Transition, Socioeconomic Differentiation, and Gender Among Adult Xavante Indians, Brazilian Amazon

et al. 2009

High prevalence rates of overweight and obesity are increasingly common among indigenous Amazonian societies experiencing greater involvement in market economies. An important factor in such nutritional transition is internal socioeconomic differentiation, which partially accounts for fatness frequencies. We report the results of a diachronic anthropometric comparison and crosssectional anthropometric and socioeconomic survey of Xavante adults from a single, large community. Our data show an accelerated nutrition transition, with significant weight and BMI increases for males and females between 1962 and 2006. We also found income and wealth to be significantly associated with fatness measures for both sexes combined and for females separately. We interpret the observed gender differences as reflecting differences between male and female social dietary practices. Comparison with other studies in the Amazon region suggests that the relationships between internal socioeconomic differentiation and dietary health vary between cultural and economic settings. We also argue that parallels between Xavante health perspectives and epidemiological interpretations demonstrate the potential for proactive interchange between native and scientific health discourses.

“…The overall frequencies of adolescent and adult overweight and obesity observed among the Xavante were substantially higher than in the overall and indigenous national populations in comparable years (Coimbra Jr. et al, ; Moura & Claro, ). The few local indigenous case studies in Brazil that address adolescent excess weight also show elevated frequencies (Castro et al, ; Sampei et al, ). Other indigenous case studies in the country show adult excess weight prevalence similar to our baseline findings for the Xavante (Fávaro, Santos, Cunha, Leite, & Coimbra Jr., ; Lourenço, Santos, Orellana, & Coimbra Jr., ; Oliveira et al, ).…”

Objective The Xavante Longitudinal Health Study was developed to permit granular tracking of contemporary health challenges faced by indigenous communities in Brazil, taking into consideration ongoing historical processes that may be associated with increases in child undernutrition, adult obesity, and cardiovascular disease risks. Methods This was an open‐cohort study with six semiannual data collection waves from 2009 to 2012. The study was undertaken in two Xavante villages, Pimentel Barbosa and Etênhiritipá, State of Mato Grosso, Central Brazil. No sampling technique was used. Data collection placed emphasis on growth and nutrition of children under five and nutrition status, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels of adolescents and adults. Results Baseline data collection began in July/August 2009 with a population census (656 individuals). Between the first and final waves, the study population increased by 17%. At baseline, stunting and wasting was elevated for most age groups <10 years. Overweight, obesity, and increased risk of metabolic complications were expressive among individuals >17 years, disproportionately affecting females. Anemia was elevated in most age groups, especially among females. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was moderate. The overall prevalence of high blood pressure was relatively low. Conclusions Our findings reveal marked health disparities relative to the Brazilian national population and a complex dietary health epidemiology involving the double burden of malnutrition, rapidly changing nutritional indicators, and elevated metabolic disease risk. The topically broad multidisciplinary focus permitted construction of the richest longitudinal data set of socio‐epidemiological information for an indigenous population in Brazil.
