Resumo: | ObjectiveThe aims of this article are to estimate the prevalence and to identify the sociodemographic factors and food consumption associated with central obesity in schoolchildren 6-10 years old of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. MethodsIt consists in a cross-sectional population-based study involving 4,963 schoolchildren enrolled in the public and private sectors. The dependent variable is central obesity investigated by measuring waist circumference and classified according to percentiles/gender/age. Bivariate and multivariate analyzes were also performed. ResultsThe prevalence of central obesity was 4,9% (CI95%=4,3;5,5), being more prevalent in boys with statistical significance (p=0,003). The other variables investigated (age the schoolchildren, type of school, maternal education, protective and risk food consumption, number of daily meals) were not associated with outcome. Among the schoolchildren who had central obesity (n=243), 99.3% of the boys and 99.0% of the girls also showed overweight/obesity. ConclusionThe prevalence of central obesity was lower than that reported in national and international studies. In this scenario, the gender (male) variable was strongly associated with the outcome. The identified prevalence is a major concern in nutrition and medical science as the central obesity may remain in adulthood and showstrong association with cardiovascular risk. It is noteworthy that there is a need for obesity prevention campaigns that encourage children and their parents to adopt a healthier life style. Finally, other studies should be conducted in order to examine potential factors linked to central obesity. |

MétodosTrata-se de um estudo transversal de base populacional realizado com 4.963 escolares matriculados em escolas públicas e privadas. A obesidade central foi investigada por meio da medida da circunferência da cintura e classificada de acordo com percentis/sexo/idade. Foram realizadas análises bivariadas e multivariadas. ResultadosA prevalência de obesidade central foi de 4,9% (IC95%=4,3;5,5), sendo mais elevada nos meninos (5,9%; IC95%=4,9;6,8), apresentando diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,003). As demais variáveis investigadas (idade dos escolares, rede de ensino, escolaridade da mãe, consumo de alimentos protetores e de risco e número de refeições diárias) não se mostraram associadas ao desfecho. Dos escolares que apresentaram obesidade central (n=243), 99,3% dos meninos e 99.0% das meninas também apresentaram sobrepeso/obesidade. ConclusãoA prevalência de obesidade central encontrada foi menor do que a relatada em estudos nacionais e internacionais. O sexo (masculino) foi a única variável que se mostrou associada ao desfecho. A prevalência identificada é preocupante em função das evidências científicas que sugerem que a obesidade central pode permanecer na vida adulta e apresentar forte relação com fatores de risco cardiovasculares. Ressalta-se a necessidade de campanhas de prevenção à obesidade que estimulem as crianças e seus pais a adotarem um estilo de vida mais saudável. Sugere-se a realização de estudos prospectivos que analisem com maior clareza ospossíveis fatores associados à obesidade central.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8190Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2015): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 28 Núm. 1 (2015): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 28 n. 1 (2015): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8190/5713Copyright (c) 2023 Gabriella Bettiol FELTRIN, Francisco S de Assis Guedes de VASCONCELO, Larissa da Cunha Feio COSTA, Arlete Catarina Tittoni CORSOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBettiol FELTRIN, Gabriella de Assis Guedes de VASCONCELO, Francisco S da Cunha Feio COSTA, Larissa Catarina Tittoni CORSO, Arlete2023-03-31T12:28:44Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8190Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-03-31T12:28:44Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
