Resumo: | This study aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity in preschoolers and to investigate the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) of the children and of their parents. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 968 children aging 3-5 years old from public preschools. The children's nutritional status was defined by the BMI, after measuring their weight and height at the preschool, considering sex and age in months. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, the children were classified as eutrophic, thin, at risk of being overweight, overweight or obese. The parents' BMI was calculated using weight and height data obtained through a questionnaire. One percent of children were thin, 62% eutrophic, 17% at risk of overweight, 12% were overweight and 8% obese. Children's BMI was positively correlated with maternal and paternal BMI (p |

Para tanto, conduziu-se uma pesquisa transversal com 968 crianças, de 3-5 anos, regularmente matriculadas em pré-escolas públicas. O estado nutricional infantil foi definido pelo IMC após aferição do peso e estatura no próprio ambiente escolar, considerando-se o sexo e a idade em meses. De acordo com os critérios da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), as crianças foram classificadas em eutróficas, baixo peso, risco de sobrepeso, sobrepeso ou obesas. O IMC dos pais foi calculado com os dados de peso e estatura obtidos por meio de questionário. Observou-se que 1% de crianças tinham baixo peso, 62% eram eutróficas, 17% apresentavam risco de sobrepeso, 12% sobrepeso e 8% obesidade. O IMC infantil mostrou-se positivamente correlacionado com o IMC materno e paterno (p < 0,05). Concluiu-se que a prevalência de obesidade e sobrepeso infantil na população estudada é alarmante e que o IMC da criança foi correlacionado ao dos pais. Tais achados devem ser motivo de preocupação das autoridades, reforçando a necessidade de estratégias de atenção à saúde abrangendo todo o núcleo familiar.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2021-06-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por Parestextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/860610.17765/2176-9206.2021v14n3e8606Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 14 No 3 (2021): jul./set. ; 489-497Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 14 n. 3 (2021): jul./set. ; 489-4972176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporenghttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/8606/6662https://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/8606/6683Copyright (c) 2021 Saúde e Pesquisahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCrescente, Camila Lopes Rizzardi, Karina Ferreira Indiani, Cláudia Maria dos Santos Pereira Rodrigues, Lidiany Karla AzevedoParisotto, Thais Manzano 2022-07-20T12:10:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8606Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2022-07-20T12:10:16Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |
