“…On the other hand, the prevalence of overweight and obesity (15?3 %) in the study population is similar to that found in the literature for children of the same age group in Salvador (15?8 %) (33) and lower than that found by Suñé et al (34) in the south of Brazil (24?8 %), although it should be emphasized that comparison with previous studies is PR, prevalence ratio; n, total number of cases in each category of breast-feeding. *PR and 95 % CI significant (P , 0?05).…”

“…The prevalence of O/O in the studied sample was 22.9%, which is similar to the rates of 25.9% (5) and 24.8% (6) observed in a recent study performed among adolescents from the state of Rio Grande do Sul. These prevalence rates are much higher than the 12.6% observed in the 1990's (3) and they reflect the critical situation of nutritional transition (from nutritional deficiency to being overweight) the young population of Brazil has been experiencing over the last decades (3) .…”

In fact, in Brazil, there is no clear tendency about the association between gender and overweight.…”

“…O nível de atividade física foi adotado como expressão do estilo de vida do escolar e foi avaliado por meio do Questionário de Atividades Físicas Realizadas Ontem (QUAFIRO) 30 . O escore final do QUAFIRO é obtido multiplicando o coeficiente da intensidade da atividade realizada (3, 2 ou 1 para intensa, moderada ou leve, respectivamente) pelo coeficiente arbitrário da duração (1, 2 e 3 para < 15, 15-30 e > 30 minutos, respectivamente).…”
