“…The changes ought to be introduced at the beginning of the educational path in order to initiate and strengthen proper habits in children. A child who becomes aware early enough of the positive aspects of healthy lifestyle will become a healthy, conscious adult who values health-promoting attitudes and active leisure time [23,24]. This intervention presents a positive direction in body composition changes in over-and underweight children.…”

“…This will facilitate incorporation of intervention. Programs involving the whole family in lifestyle intervention programs were found to have positive results in BMI reduction compared to those directed at the child alone (51,52). Weight reduction in obese children and adolescents following comprehensive nonsurgical interventions including diet, physical activity, education, and behavioral therapy were found to be associated with improvements in several metabolic parameters such as lipid profile indices and BP (53).…”

Metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents

2017

Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is increasing, in parallel with the increasing trends in obesity rates. Varying definitions of this syndrome have hindered the development of a consensus for the diagnostic criteria in the pediatric population. While pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome is not completely understood, insulin resistance and subsequent inflammation are thought to be among its main mechanistic underpinnings. Overweight and obesity are cardinal features, along with abnormal glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Other disorders associated with metabolic syndrome include fatty liver, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and pro-inflammatory states. Prevention and management of this condition can be accomplished with lifestyle modifications, behavioral interventions, pharmacological and surgical interventions as needed.

“…Segundo alguns especialistas, a escola é um local-chave para a condução de intervenções focadas na prevenção da obesidade durante o período de desenvolvimento (HOELSCHER et al, 2013;USDHHS, 2010). No entanto, o que aconteceria se os professores fossem os primeiros a demonstrar uma atitude negativa a respeito de crianças e adolescentes em condição de obesidade?…”

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as atitudes implícitas e explícitas sobre a obesidade em professores e estudantes de Educação Física. Dezoito professores e 45 estudantes preencheram quatro questionários: o Teste de Associação Implícita (IAT), que avalia por meio de categorizações os estereótipos e as associações cognitivas espontâneas; o questionário de Crandall para a avaliação do preconceito explícito sobre a obesidade; a Escala sobre a Orientação à Dominância Social (SDO); e o Questionário de Autodescrição Física -versão curta (PSDQ-s). Ambos os grupos reportaram preconceito significativo (p < 0,05), evidenciado pelos valores médios registrados pelo IAT. Os professores relataram valores significativamente maiores no preconceito implícito e valores mais baixos na SDO comparados aos estudantes. A Orientação à Dominância Social mostrou-se uma variável chave na presença do preconceito. Este estudo pode ser um ponto de partida para futuras pesquisas focadas na redução do preconceito por meio de protocolos de intervenção específicos.Abstract: This study looked into Physical Education teachers' and students' implicit and explicit attitudes toward obesity. Eighteen teachers and 45 students completed four questionnaires: the Implicit Association Test (IAT), which assesses stereotypes and spontaneous cognitive associations through categorizations; The Crandall questionnaire for the evaluation of explicit prejudice about obesity; The Social Dominance Orientation Scale (SDO); and the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire -short version (PSDQ-s). Both groups reported significant prejudice (p <0.05), evidenced by the mean values recorded on the IAT. Teachers reported significantly higher values than students on implicit prejudice and lower values on SDO. Social Dominance Orientation proved to be a key variable in the presence of prejudice. This study may be a starting point for future research focused on reducing prejudice through specific intervention protocols.Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las actitudes implícitas y explícitas sobre la obesidad entre profesores y estudiantes de educación física.
