“…Esses dados evidenciam o aumento do consumo de nutrientes, entre crianças e adolescentes, associado ao déficit do gasto energético. Nessa perspectiva, observa-se que, nas últimas décadas, políticas públicas conseguiram oferecer um melhor padrão de alimentação para crianças e adolescentes das famílias brasileiras com baixo poder aquisitivo, entretanto, não estão sendo eficientes no controle do equilíbrio entre a qualidade dos alimentos consumidos e do gasto calórico 42,43 . Em estudo desenvolvido no interior do Estado de Pernambuco-PE por Nascimento e Rodrigues 10 (n=796, 7-13 anos), os autores destacaram que o aumento dos valores do IMC se encontrou associado às alterações nos padrões alimentares dos escolares (consumo de alimentos com alto valor energético), seguido por um estilo de vida sedentário.…”

A prevalência do excesso de peso e da obesidade entre crianças e adolescentes tem aumentando nas últimas décadas, configurando-se como um problema de saúde pública global. No caso da desnutrição, suas taxas têm diminuído consideravelmente, contudo, ela ainda não foi totalmente superada, em especial, nos Estados da região Nordeste do Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar estudos sobre o estado nutricional de crianças e adolescentes, residentes na região Nordeste do Brasil. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão da bibliografia publicada nas plataformas BIREME e Google Acadêmico, em português e inglês, no período de 2009-2018, com uso dos descritores: obesidade e infância, sobrepeso e infância, desnutrição e infância. Ao final 22 estudos contendo informações de 50.778 crianças e adolescentes (0-14 anos) preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade. Verificou-se média de desnutrição, sobrepeso e obesidade de 1,9%, 12,5% e 7,4%, respectivamente. Conforme os estudos analisados, o panorama do estado nutricional de crianças e adolescentes da região Nordeste corroborou com a tendência nacional, que vem apontando, desde décadas passadas, a diminuição da taxa de desnutrição, seguida pelo aumento do sobrepeso.

“…No other study has assessed the living conditions and nutritional status of adolescents in the region. Searching the literature from 2007 to 2017, only seven studies evaluated the nutritional status of adolescents in the Sertão [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] , and only one in the Agreste region, 13 which showed varied results. This highlights the evident gap in the nutritional surveillance of this population, and shows that depending on regional characteristics, the factors associated with nutritional changes may be different.…”

Objective: To investigate context of overweight adolescents from the semiarid and rural areas of Pernambuco, considering the multifactorial nature of the determinants of being overweight, and the food and nutritional insecurity conditions of the region. Methods: A population based cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2015. The nutritional status of adolescents was assessed by body mass index (BMI) and classified by the BMI/Age indicator, according to sex. To analyze the factors associated with being overweight, the variables were grouped into: socioeconomic, demographic, environmental, lifestyle, psychological, biological and food and nutritional security. Poisson regression was used to verify the association between being overweight and independent variables. Results: The prevalence of excessive weight found was 20.1%, namely: 13.4% overweight and 6.7% obese. After adjusting for the confounding variables, the variables: occupancy situation (rented house), alcohol consumption, food security and light food insecurity, body perception (overweight and obese) and age range (10 to 14 years), were associated with being overweight. High food and nutritional insecurity was identified in 80.4% of the population. The moderate and severe forms were more frequent, and precarious social conditions were still prevalent in the region. Conclusions: The prevalence of being overweight was high, exceeding the expected for a population with better living conditions. The determinants of being overweight were: alcohol consumption, occupancy situation, self-perceived weight, age and food security/mild food insecurity.

Objectives: to evaluate diagnostic criteria and to propose arm and calf circumference cutoff points to predict underweight in adolescents aged 13-19 years in two Brazilian municipalities of the semiarid region. Methods: underweight was defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than two z-scores, according to World Health Organization criteria (2007). Measurements of arm and calf circumferences were compared to BMI, and the diagnostic criteria for low-weight prediction were evaluated with the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, coefficients of sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, kappa and diagnostic odds ratios. Results: the prevalence of underweight was 4.2% (CI95%= 3.3-5.0). The cutoff points for arm circumference were 22.1 cm (adolescents of both genders aged 13-15 years), and 25.1 cm and 24.0 cm, respectively, for males and females aged 16-19 years. The cutoff points for calf circumference were 30.0 cm in the first group and 31.8 cm and 31.0 cm, respectively, in the second age group. Conclusions: both anthropometric indicators analyzed evidenced a reasonable to excellent diagnostic capacity to predict underweight among adolescents.
