“…Regarding obesity measured using BMI, this research showing that the older age group had the highest prevalence (present study 37.03%, 35.8%) were similar to the National Health Survey of Chile (Ministerio de Salud de Chile, 2010a). A high prevalence of overweight and obesity evaluated by BMI in teachers was previously been reported for Chilean urban teachers (Cabrera et al, 2003;Kain et al, 2010), but the results were not stratified by age category. The usefulness of obesity evaluated by BMI is limited because it does not consider differences in corporal components (Prado et al, 2015).…”

The school teacher profession has been reported to be associated with an increased rate of health problems that can affect the quality of life (QoL) of teachers. However, there is little information about rural teachers. Objective: To investigate the associations of obesity, abdominal obesity, and hypertension with the perception of QoL in rural teachers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included a representative sample of teachers from eight rural schools in the Valparaíso Region of Chile. Obesity was evaluated by the percentages of fat mass (% FM) and abdominal obesity, and hypertension was recorded. The Short Form-36 Health Survey was administered to subjects to evaluate QoL. A logistic regression adjusted for age and gender was used to associate QoL with chronic health conditions. Results: Eighty-five percent of teachers presented abdominal obesity, 56% presented obesity evaluated by % FM and 33% presented hypertension. Thirty percent of teachers in the ≥45-year-old age group presented all three chronic conditions simultaneously. Teachers presenting abdominal obesity in the ≤44-year-old age group had lower scores in the mental health component (MCS) (p < 0.05) of the survey than the teachers in the ≥45-year-old age group. In addition, teachers in the ≤44-year-old age group who presented obesity scored lower in the MCS than those in the same age group without obesity (p = 0.004). The occurrence simultaneous of two and three chronic health conditions increased the risk of reduced MCS significantly (p = 0.015, OR 17.0, 95% CI: 1.741-165.90 and p = 0.003, OR 82.6, 95% CI: 4.58-1490.70, respectively). In addition, ages under 45 years old were associated with low score of MCS (OR 8.8, 95% CI: 1.565-49.698). Conclusion: A combination of chronic conditions affects the mental health (MH) of rural teachers. Although the association does not imply causation, these findings support the notion that teachers present early MH problems. This suggests that resources must be made available to detect early mental and chronic health conditions of rural teachers.

“…Ante esto, se ha señalado la necesidad de educar en alimentación saludable a los niños desde la educación prebásica, considerando estrategias innovadoras y apropiadas de intervenciones educativas que involucren a niños, sus padres y profesores (3). La Organización Mundial de la Salud plantea que la salud se crea y se vive en el marco de la vida cotidiana, rescatando el papel de la familia y de la escuela, y dentro de ella, de los docentes como agentes fundamentales en la promoción y fomento de la salud de la comunidad educativa (4). En el caso de la familia, esta es el primer contacto con los hábitos alimentarios, ya que sus inte-grantes ejercen una fuerte influencia en la dieta de los niños, entregando el entorno más importante de aprendizaje para el niño (5).…”

“…Señor Editor, El artículo de la Dra. Kain y colaboradores 1 muestra cómo una estrategia de prevención de obesidad escolar, mediante un programa aplicado al profesorado, es efectiva tanto en disminuir la obesidad, especialmente en niñas, como en mejorar ciertas variables metabólicas de docentes 1 . Las intervenciones sobre vida saludable y promoción de adecuados hábitos nutricionales son relevantes para el profesorado dada su labor en la formación de niñas, niños y adolescentes 1,2 .…”
