Objetivo: Identificar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, o impacto na saúde do indivíduo em consequência da obesidade infantil, seus impactos durante as fases da vida, descrevendo quais as complicações e apresentando os riscos para a saúde das crianças em decorrência dos maus hábitos alimentares. Métodos: Para elaboração da pesquisa, foram analisados periódicos de revistas científicas e artigos científicos, tendo como base de dados PubMed, Scielo e Google Acadêmico, sobre o tema. A busca foi limitada à língua inglesa e portuguesa, e os artigos analisados foram selecionados por apresentarem grande relevância sobre o tema. Resultados: Observou-se que crianças com sobrepeso e obesidade apresentam maiores probabilidades de virem a desenvolver várias doenças na infância, repercutindo ao longo da vida, reduzindo a qualidade e expectativa de vida. Baixa renda, genética, a falta de exercícios físicos, maus hábitos alimentares e problemas socioeconômicos são os principais fatores que colaboram para o aumento da obesidade infantil. Conclusão: Estratégias de promoção de saúde que mais surtem efeitos são melhoras dos hábitos de vida, como, alimentação saudável e da prática de atividades físicas.

“…Alvim et al showed a strong association between TMI values and CVD risk in a sample of 37.815 Brazilian adolescents (12-17 years old). In fact, adolescents classi ed as obese (TMI-for-age ≥ 95th percentile) had a higher prevalence of hypertension [11]. In another longitudinal cohort of 36.950 subjects (6-17 years old), the capacity of TMI slightly outperformed BMI in predicting pediatric HTN.…”

“…They concluded that either TMI or BMI performed poorly in identifying high BP in children and adolescents, and that their ability varied in different populations [38]. Subsequently, few studies have argued in favour of TMI as a suitable index in discriminating cardio-metabolic risk factors [5,11]. Alvim et al showed a strong association between TMI values and CVD risk in a sample of 37.815 Brazilian adolescents (12-17 years old).…”

“…Different anthropometric indices that are surrogates of body composition have been investigated for the early identi cation of CVD risks. BMI cannot accurately depict body composition in the pediatric population, as weight and height squared are not proportional during some growth phases [11]. Also BMI z-score, known as the standard indicator for screening paediatric obesity, showed to be only weakly associated with other measures of body fatness in paediatric age [12].…”

Background: Pediatric obesity is a global emerging burden for society; among its health-related consequences there are hypertension (HTN) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Several anthropometric indices have been investigated for the early identification of cardiovascular risk in children. The aim of the present study was to assess whether tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) was associated with LVH in a cohort of obese Caucasian children and adolescents. Methods: In this observational study, 63 obese children and adolescent aged 7-to-16 years were enrolled. During outpatient visits, adiposity, and cardio-metabolic indices (BMI z-score, WHR, TMI, ABSI) were collected. All subjects underwent a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and transthoracic echocardiography. Results: Obese children and adolescents with LVH had significantly higher BMI z-score (p=0.009), WHR (p=0.006) and TMI (p=0.026) compared to children without LVH. WHR was the only index significantly correlated with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (p 0.017). Conclusion: Left ventricular remodeling is associated with the cardio-metabolic risk marker WHR, but not with the adiposity index TMI among obese children.

“…In addition, children with overweight or obesity have increased odds for other adverse cardiometabolic risk factors (higher levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) 22 . However, there is a limited number of studies on the association between overweight and obesity defined by TMI and HBP 23 , 24 . The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported that youth aged 10–20 years in the overweight and obesity group (according to age- and sex-specific TMI) had an increased risk for cardiometabolic risk factors 23 .…”

High blood pressure (HBP) and obesity are major public health issues globally. The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations between tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) and body mass index (BMI) and HBP and to determine which anthropometric parameters may best predict HBP among Lithuanian children and adolescents aged 7–18 years. This cross-sectional study included 3710 Lithuanian children and adolescents aged 7–18 (52.7% boys and 47.3% girls). Each subject’s height, weight, and other anthropometric parameters, as well as blood pressure were measured according to standardized protocols; subsequently, TMI and BMI were calculated. The prevalence of HBP was 27% (the prevalence of elevated BP and hypertension was 13.7% and 13.3%, respectively), significantly higher for boys than for girls. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the BMI z-score and BP were higher than those between the TMI z-score and BP. In both sexes combined, the adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for HBP were increased significantly with increasing quartiles of TMI and BMI as compared to the first quartile (Q1) (Q2: aOR = 1.37 and aOR = 1.69; Q3: aOR = 2.10 and aOR = 2.27; Q4: aOR = 3.95 and aOR = 4.91, respectively). Significant associations also were observed between overweight and obesity (defined according to two methods: age- and sex-specific TMI percentiles and IOTF criteria) among boys and girls separately. BMI presented a higher area under the curve value than TMI for predicting HBP in children and adolescents. The findings of the study suggest that BMI and TMI are significantly associated with HBP. However, BMI is a better predictor for HBP than TMI among Lithuanian children and adolescents aged 7–18 years.
