“…Assim também, em um estudo que verificou a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade em escolares da rede pública e particular da cidade de Fortaleza, os autores encontraram maiores valores para as crianças de rede particular de ensino [26]. Segundo Miranda et al [27], que buscaram diagnosticar e comparar a prevalência de sobrepeso e de obesidade em escolares da rede pública e privada, o índice de subnutrição foi menor em escolas privadas do que em escolas públicas. Além disto, na escola privada os autores acharam valores menores de crianças eutróficas em relação às crianças com excesso de peso.…”

ABSTRACT Aims:To evaluate the nutritional status of children and adolescents by anthropometric indicators and to evaluate the association of these results with blood pressure. Methods: Children and adolescents between four and 19 years of age from rural and urban schools of a municipality of Rio Grande do Sul were included in this study. Those who refused (or whose parents refused) to participate or did not sign the consent form, or in whom it was not possible to carry out the anthropometric or blood pressure measurements, were excluded. Weight, height, waist circumference, skin folds and blood pressure were measured, and the body mass index was calculated. Data were described by mean, standard deviation, amplitude of variation, absolute and relative frequencies. Stratification by gender, body mass index and central obesity was performed to analyze the influence of these on the other variables. Pearson's Chi-square was used to evaluate the associations. The level of significance was p<0.05. Results: At the time of data collection, 7,082 children and adolescents within the age group were enrolled in the municipal schools, and they were invited to participate. After applying the exclusion criteria, 5,936 children/adolescents were included in the study. The sample presented prevalence of overweight of 30.3%, central obesity 31.1% and excess body fat 8.7%. Overweight was higher in children from private schools (44.1%) than in state schools (29.5%) and municipal schools (29.9%) (p<0.001). There were statistically significant associations of high blood pressure with overweight, obesity, and central obesity (p<0.001). Conclusions: Prevalence of overweight was high and hypertension was associated with overweight, obesity and central obesity in children and adolescents of the studied population.

“…Em Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Cruz et al [32], ao avaliarem 382 estudantes de 10 a 16 anos, encontraram maior prevalência de SM (8,70%) entre os adolescentes de classe socioeconômica mais baixa. No entanto, quanto ao estado nutricional, estudos brasileiros verificaram a existência de uma associação entre o maior nível socioeconômico e a presença de excesso de peso [33,34].…”

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with adolescents aged 15 to 17 years, enrolled in public and private schools in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Body mass index was used to determine the nutritional status, classified according to the World Health Organization. Waist circumference was measured according to Petroski (2003). Triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, and blood pressure were assessed and the International Diabetes Federation criteria were used for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. A non-consecutive 3-day food record was used for dietary assessment. The chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Student's parametric t test or the Mann-Whitney U test were used for associations between the groups. Results: A total of 302 adolescents -51.99% males and 73.51% from public schools -were evaluated. The prevalence of obesity was 27.48% and that of metabolic syndrome was 3.97%; 4.83% among girls and 3.18% among boys (p=0.46). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among public school students was 4.50% compared with 2.50% (p=0.73) among those from private schools. In the comparison between the groups with and without metabolic syndrome, there were no statistically significant differences in dietary energy and micronutrient adequacy, except for vitamin D (p=0.01). Adolescents with metabolic syndrome consumed less vitamin D than those without the syndrome. Conclusions:The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to be relevant considering its complexity, severity, and the age group studied. Lower vitamin D intake was observed among adolescents with metabolic syndrome.

“…Although the prevalence of excess weight (overweight and obesity) is a typical characteristics of middle-income countries 8,21 , this scenario may be partly justified by the Brazilian food profile, which is high in animal fat and commercially processed foods, factors apparently associated with higher socioeconomic status 2,11,12,21,27 . Such factors contribute not only to the accumulation of body fat but also to the development of numerous disorders, and chronic and degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and cardiopathy 5 .…”

“…In Brazil childhood overweight and obesity are important public health problems that affect children of all ages, more in the South and Southeast regions than in the North/Northeast regions, probably because of the socioeconomic differences between the populations living in these regions 1,3 . Moreover, a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity has been observed in children from private schools compared with children from public schools 2,3,11 . This phenomenon deserves attention and its analysis may promote the establishment of specific intervention actions [12][13][14] .…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence of malnutrition, overweight, and obesity in schoolchildren aged 7-10 years from public and private schools of Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil. MethodsDemographic information (sex, age, and type of school) and anthropometric measurements (body mass and height) were collected from 2,180 students (1,693 from public schools and 487 from private schools). The nutritional status of the children was classified according to their body mass index Z-score. ResultsThe prevalences of malnutrition, overweight, and obesity were 6.1%, 9.8% and 11.1%, respectively. Girls were 15.9% more likely to be malnourished than boys. As for overweight, 10-year-olds were 1.53 times more 700 | KES SILVA et al.Rev. Nutr., Campinas, 29(5):699-708, set./out., 2016 Revista de Nutrição http://dx.doi. org/10.1590/1678-98652016000500008 likely to be overweight than 7-year-olds. Children from private schools were 1.63 times more likely to be overweight and 2.88 times more likely to be obese than their public school peers. ConclusionThe prevalence of malnutrition and excess weight (overweight and obesity) were high, and girls were more likely to be malnourished. Ten-year-olds and children from private schools were the most affected by overweight and obesity.
