“…This finding corroborates the findings of Hoefelmann et al 9 , in which less than eight hours of sleep was related to the average income. Regarding excess body fat, the findings disagree with that found in a study by Salvador et al 3 , in which the prevalence of excess body fat was associated with mean income. Insufficient sleep hours in middle-income adolescents could be explained by the fact that they have greater access to electronic devices such as computers, as compared to low-income adolescents 2 .…”

“…The finding agrees with that found in a study by Hoefelmann et al 9 in which insufficient sleep hours were related to being older. When it comes to excess body fat, it is in agreement with results found by Salvador et al 3 , in which older adolescents were less likely to present excess body fat. The decrease in the number of hours of sleep with advancing age in older adolescents is well established in the literature 6,9 , in which the plausibility of such a relationship would be that concomitant with the increase of the adolescents' age increases responsibilities and social commitments resulting in fewer hours of sleep and more tasks 6,9 .…”

“…In Brazil, in the period 2008-2009, the Family Budget Survey (POF) estimated a prevalence of overweight and obesity for the age group of 10 to 19 years of age as 21.7% and 5.1% for boys, and 19.4% and 4.0% for girls, respectively 2 . The subgroups of adolescents with higher frequencies of overweight/obesity were boys, students of the public school system, who had low economic status and lower maternal schooling 3,4 .…”

Introduction: An increase in excess body fat and a decrease in the number of hours of sleep per day are health problems affecting the paediatric population.Objective: To estimate the combined prevalence of overweight and insufficient sleep/day in adolescents, and the association with sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods:A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted with 1,132 participants from 14 to 19 years old in São José, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Body fat was assessed by body mass index (BMI) and classified by the Z-score, while adolescents reported the total hours of sleep/day. Sociodemographic data, physical activity and sedentary behaviour were collected by self-filled questionnaire. Results:The simultaneous prevalence of overweight and insufficient sleep/day was 17.5%. The factors associated with this condition were to meet the recommendations of the practice of physical activity per week, participate in gym class twice/week and period greater/equal to four hours/day in front of the screen. Conclusion:Guidelines in the school environment in relation to health problems posed by weight excess and the amount of insufficient hours sleep can be present when recommendations on physical activity and sedentary behaviour are given to students.Keywords: obesity, overweight, body mass index, epidemiology, adolescent health, motor activity, crosssectional studies Corresponding author: tiagopersonaltrainer@gmail.com Suggested citation: Lima TR, Sousa GR, Castro JAC, Silva DAS.

In this study, the cut-off used for waist circumference was the midpoint between the last rib and the highest point of the iliac crest 19 .…”

INTRODUCTIONThe eating habits of young people have changed significantly over the last few decades. Studies show that teenagers tend to have less than desirable intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy products and wholegrain products, with a higher intake of soft drinks, sweets and fast food. As a result, most teenagers fall short of achieving optimal nutrient intake for healthy development 1,2 .Obesity, hypertension and dyslipidaemia are closely associated with cardiovascular disease 3 and the prevalence of these factors has increased in Abstract Introduction: the eating habits of young people have changed significantly over the last few decades. Teenagers tend to have less than desirable intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy products and wholegrain products, and higher intake of foods high in saturated and trans fats, leading to increased waist circumference and consequent increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Objective: to analyse the relationship between dietary intake as predictor of and increased abdominal circumference in teenagers. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 818 teenagers aged between 10 and 14 years, of both genders, enrolled in state public schools in the metropolitan region of Vitória, Espirito Santo, Brazil, from August 2012 to October 2013. Waist circumference (WC) measurements were carried out in duplicate and the arithmetic mean was calculated. The dietary intake was identified from a simplified food questionnaire containing foods whose consumption is high or that present excessive risk of coronary heart disease in teenagers. The statistical analysis was done through Pearson's chi-squared test. Results: a proportion of 55.9% of the sample had an adequate food intake, 15.6% a high intake and 28.5% an excessive intake. Among teenagers who had an adequate, high and excessive dietary intake, 5.6% (N = 46), 1.1% (N = 9) and 2.6% (N = 21) had increased WC, respectively. The result of the chi-squared test indicated no association between dietary intake as predictor of cardiovascular risk and WC, p-value = 0.576. Conclusion: there was no association between dietary intake presenting cardiovascular risk and increased waist circumference.

<p>The tendency to eat in response to stress known as emotional eating (EmE). Individuals with EmE usually has been change their dietary pattern towards more unhealthy snacking which contribute to overweight. This study aims to examine the interrelationship between EmE, snacking behavior and nutritional status among adolescents. This was an analytic observational with a cross sectional design study. It was conducted in Surakarta, on August 2019. Total 140 adolescents aged 14-17 years were selected. The data ofEmE were measured by Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ), data of snacking behaviour measured by food frequencies questionnaire (FFQ),and BMI were measured using weight scale and microtoice. Data wereanalyzed by descriptive, bivariate and binary logistic using SPSS v.23. There was significantly difference of EmE and snacking behavior in underweight, normal, and overweight adolescents. We found that underweight (4.17±3.16) and normal individuals (4.97±4.19) were not an emotional eater, and less sweet snacks and sweet drinks consumption while overweight individuals were an emotional eater (14.26±6.04) and eat more sweet snacks, and sweet drinks (p<0.001) during negative emotional states. It was shown that emotional eating and snacking behavior were found higher in overweight than underweight and normal individuals.</p>
