Fatores de risco e proteção de doenças e agravos não transmissíveis em adolescentes segundo raça/cor: Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar

Abstract

Introduction:The race/skin color is an important predictor of health status of the population, as well as a marker of social inequalities. Objective: The aim of this paper was to describe the prevalence of the main risks and the protective factors for chronic diseases in schoolchildren, according to race/skin color differences. Methods: Data from the National Adolescent School-Based Health Survey (2012) were used. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in public and private schools. Prevalences were calculated according to the distribution by race/skin color. Prevalence ratios adjusted for age and maternal schooling were analyzed. Results: White adolescents were younger, studied more frequently in private schools and had mothers with higher levels of education in comparison to the other students. Consumption of beans and fruits was higher among black, brown, and indigenous participants. Physical activity was more frequent among indigenous people. Experimentation with alcohol was higher among white adolescents. Indigenous students reported greater physical violence. Asian and black adolescents reported experiencing greater bullying. Conclusion: Minimizing racial and ethnic disparities in health is necessary to disease prevention and health promotion among adolescents.

Mudanças na atividade física no lazer e fatores associados em adolescentes de Pernambuco, Brasil: de 2006 a 2011

“…The results were similar to those found in this study; however, the proportion of students classified to be physically active during leisure time was very different between studies, being higher in this study ( 10 does not bring data on time trends of PA, total or during leisure.…”

“…For example, the National Survey of Students' Health 10 includes only students from the ninth grade of elementary school of Brazilian state capitals and is not focused on LTPA. However, the assessment of changes and population subgroups most likely to reduce LTPA can contribute to the development of public actions to stimulate PA among young people, especially in leisure time, but there are few studies on time trends of physical activity in young people, specifically addressing the leisure domain [9][10][11] , and if any, are focused on adolescent populations from the Southern and Southeastern regions of Brazil 12 . In 2001 and 2006, the first Brazilian cross-sectional school-based and statewide surveys were conducted in the states of Santa Catarina 13 and Pernambuco 14 , respectively, in order to analyze the practice of PA in high school students.…”

Diet quality among adolescents has deteriorated: a panel study in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, 2003-2008

“…Other studies have also shown low consumption of fruits and vegetables and high intake of soft drinks and sweet and savory snacks among adolescents 1,24 . However, in Brazil, only Wendpap et al 25 had previously used the BHEI-R to evaluate the diet quality of 1,326 10-14 year-old adolescents from Cuiabá, Mato Grosso State, which presented a mean BHEI-R of 75.1 points.…”
