Resumo: | AIMS: To analyze the association of breastfeeding and the risk of overweight and obesity in school-aged children. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 125 children, aged 5 to 10 years old, enrolled in a primary health care center in Lisbon. Height and weight were measured during routine consultation. Other variables– breastfeeding duration, birth weight, lifestyle factors, smoking habits during pregnancy, mother nutritional state and education – were collected based on questionnaires completed by parents. Overweight and obesity were defined as body mass index equal or above the 85th percentile based on the 2000 Center for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts. Association between breastfeeding and overweight and obesity was performed using logistic regression models. RESULTS: Prevalence of overweight and obesity was 23.2%. Among the 125 children, 28.8% were breastfed for six or more months and 25.6% were never breastfed. Inadequate diet, insufficient physical activity and mother´s overweight were identified as risk factors for children´s overweight and obesity. A doseresponse effect was identified between the duration of breastfeeding and the risk of overweight and obesity. After adjusting for confounding variables, breastfeeding for at least six months remained a significant protective factor against the development of overweight (odds ratio: 0.016; 95% confidence interval: 0.001-0.67) CONCLUSIONS: In this study, prolonged breastfeeding was associated with a reduced risk of overweight and obesity in school-aged children. These results emphasize the importance of breastfeeding on the risk of childhood obesity. |

MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 125 crianças entre 5 e 10 anos de idade, atendidas em um centro de saúde de Lisboa, Portugal. Foram aferidos altura e peso em consulta de rotina. As variáveis peso ao nascer, duração do aleitamento materno, estilo de vida da criança, hábitos tabágicos na gravidez, estado nutricional e escolaridade da mãe foram obtidas em questionários preenchidos pelos pais. Definiu-se sobrepeso e obesidade como índice de massa corporal igual ou superior ao percentil 85 nas tabelas do ano 2000 do Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Utilizaram-se modelos de regressão logística para avaliar a associação entre duração do aleitamento materno e risco de sobrepeso e obesidade. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade foi 23,2%. Entre as 125 crianças, 28,8% foram amamentadas durante pelo menos seis meses e 25,6% nunca foram amamentadas. Identificaram-se como fatores de risco para sobrepeso e obesidade: hábitos alimentares inadequados, exercício físico insuficiente e sobrepeso materno. Verificou-se um claro efeito dose-resposta entre a duração do aleitamento materno e o risco de sobrepeso e obesidade. Após controle das variáveis de confundimento, o aleitamento materno, durante pelo menos seis meses, apresentou um efeito protetor contra o sobrepeso e obesidade. (odds ratio: 0,016; intervalo de confiança 95%: 0,001-0,67). CONCLUSÕES: Neste estudo, maior duração do aleitamento materno associou-se à diminuição do risco de sobrepeso e obesidade em idade escolar. Estes resultados realçam a importância do aleitamento materno no risco de obesidade infantil.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-07-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/12637Scientia Medica; Vol. 23 No. 2 (2013); 75-81Scientia Medica; v. 23 n. 2 (2013); 75-811980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
