“…This phenomenon, known as nutritional transition (21) , has been well documented in Brazil and was further confirmed in this study; this finding shows that malnutrition and growth deficit during childhood, especially in urban areas, must call attention to the presence of dysmorphic syndromes and chronic diseases in addition to conditions of severe loss of family structure. Regarding the frequency of overweight/obesity in the first year of life, this study emphasized the need to identify family histories of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (20)(21)(22) due to the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of overweight in children. Nevertheless, the complexity of the factors involved requires multiple actions, thus strengthening the importance of multi-professional and multi-sector actions in the assistance of affected children.…”

“…In 1988 and 1989, the mortality rates in Embu were 56.3 and 43.8/1,000 live births, respectively; in 2005 and 2006, the rates were 15.2 and 11.2/1,000 live births, respectively (7) . Regarding malnutrition in this municipality, population-based surveys of schoolchildren revealed a reduction in malnutrition and increases in overweight and obesity (19,20) . The results of this study on weight progression (more than 98% of children exhibited favorable progression, and 17.9% exhibited overweight/obesity) confirmed this tendency.…”

“…A maior parte dos artigos selecionados (96%) estabeleceu a presença de três ou mais componentes para o diagnóstico da SM. Quanto à população de estudo, 50% (23 artigos) (7)(8)(9)(10)13,15,16,18,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)44,49,53,56) analisaram crianças e adolescentes conjuntamente, tendo 26% analisado somente crianças (11,12,14,24,38,40,41,43,(45)(46)(47)55) e 24% somente adolescentes (5,6,25,37,39,42,48,50,51,52,54) . O critério diagnóstico da SM estabelecido pelo NCEP/ ATPIII para adultos, incluindo hipertrigliceridemia, redução do HDL-c, hiperglicemia de jejum, obesidade abdominal (circunferência de cintura -CC) e hipertensão arterial, foi utilizado em 28 artigos (61%) (5)…”

“…There is an increasing number of government initiatives in this aspect, but they are still insufficient, considering the seriousness of the problem. There have been respectable and important isolated initiatives in the country, and excellent clinical and population studies in some regions [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , but all this has been far below what is needed.…”
