“…Regardless of the differences found between economic status, it is important to highlight the important frequency of installing one or more risk factors in the young people surveyed. Our findings are consistent with those of Alamian and Paradis, who also found such a relationship between young Canadians 35 . Although the present study was conducted with a representative sample of adolescent in Londrina-PR, some limitations must be pointed out.…”

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.

“…Risk factor clustering has also been associated with abnormal vascular structure and function in youth [36]. It has also been reported that both the RHR [26,28] and clustering of cardiovascular risk factors behave in a gender-dependent way [1]. It remains less clear if the association between the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors and RHR is also different between genders.…”

“…For example, in a recent study conducted in Norway, only parental education was associated with adolescents' health-related dietary habits (3) . Moreover, some demographic factors, such as age and gender, seem to be important determinants of the prevalence of healthrelated behaviours during adolescence (4) . A growing number of studies indicate that the obesogenic effect of television (TV) viewing in young people may be attributed more to increased food intake than to decreased physical activity levels (5,6) .…”

Objective: To compare food consumption during television (TV) viewing among adolescents who watched .2 h/d v. #2 h/d; and to examine the association between sociodemographic variables (age, gender and socio-economic status (SES)) and the consumption of energy-dense foods and drinks during TV viewing. Design: The data are part of the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence (HELENA) cross-sectional survey. Data on time watching TV, types of foods and drinks consuming during TV viewing and parental SES (parental education, parental occupation and family affluence) were measured by questionnaires completed by adolescents. Binary logistic regression tested the association between energy-dense foods and drinks and (i) sociodemographic variables and (ii) TV time. Setting: Ghent (Belgium), Heraklion (Greece), Pecs (Hungary) and Zaragoza (Spain). Subjects: Girls (n 699) and boys (n 637) aged 12?5-17?5 years. Results: Boys reported more frequent consumption of beer and soft drinks whereas girls selected more fruit juice, water, herbal infusions and sweets (all P # 0?05). Watching TV for .2 h/d was associated with the consumption of energy-dense foods and drinks. Girls whose mothers achieved the lowest education level had an adjusted OR of 3?22 (95 % CI 1?81, 5?72) for the consumption of energy-dense drinks during TV viewing v. those whose mothers had the highest educational level. Conclusions: Excessive TV watching may favour concurrent consumption of energy-dense snacks and beverages. Adolescents from low-SES families are more likely to consume unhealthy drinks while watching TV.
