Summary: | The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status and the association of excess body weight (EBW) with gender and age among children and adolescents from the town of Vilhena, Rondonia, Brazil. A total of 5,883 students, including children (6 to 11 years) and adolescents (12 to 17 years), from public schools participated in the study. Body weight and height were measured and the body mass index was calculated for subsequent classification of nutritional status. The t-test was used for comparison between genders and the chi-square test and Poisson regression were used to evaluate the association between EBW, gender, and age. Data were analyzed with the SPSS 11.0 program at a level of significance of p < 0.05. The prevalence of EBW was 19.3% among children and 17.4% among adolescents. EBW was significantly associated with gender and age among children. In addition, the prevalence of EBW was higher among girls (PR = 1.81, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.21) than among boys. Adolescent girls also presented a higher prevalence ofEBW than boys (PR = 1.81, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.21). The prevalence of EBW increased linearly in children (6 to 11 years) and decreased in adolescents (15 to 17 years). These results suggest that the prevalence of overweight is high among children and adolescents from northern Brazil. |

Participaram 5883 escolares, sendo crianças (6 a 11 anos) e adolescentes (12 a 17 anos), da rede pública de ensino. Foram mensuradas a massa corporal e estatura, e calculado o índice de massa corporal (IMC) para posterior classificação do estado nutricional. Utilizou-se o teste “t” para comparação entre os gêneros e o teste do qui-quadrado e regressão de Poisson para verificar a associação do EPC com o gênero e a idade. A análise dos dados foi realizada no software SPSS, versão 11.0 e foi adotado nível de significância de p<0,05. A prevalência de EPC foi de 19,3% nas crianças e 17,4% nos adolescentes. Observou-se associação significativa entre EPC com o gênero e a idade entre as crianças, sendo que as meninas apresentaram maior prevalência de EPC (RP=1,81; IC95%=1,49-2,21) do que os meninos. Entre os adolescentes também se verificou que meninas apresentam maiores prevalência de EPC do que os meninos (RP=1,81; IC95%=1,49-2,21). A prevalência de EPC aumentou linearmente entre as crianças (6-11 anos) e diminuiu nos adolescentes (15-17 anos). Esses resultados sugerem que entre crianças e adolescentes do norte brasileiro as prevalências de excesso de peso apresentam-se elevadas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
