Resumo: | Introduction: Childhood overweight and obesity are a public health problem. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to this pathology. The Body Mass Index z-score (BMI z-score) is an accepted indicator for the diagnosis and follow-up. Objectives: To evaluate whether the prevalence of overweight and obesity, and BMI z-score in children aged 2 to 5 years increased during the pandemic. Materials and methods: Retrospective cohort study. Patients assisted in public health facilities City of Buenos Aires (BA), aged 2 to 4 years, with weight and height records in two consultations, before and after the start of lockdown were included. Nutritional status (BMI z-score) and BMI z-score variation between both consultations were recorded. Results: 3866 subjects were evaluated, mean age 3.4±0.8 years; 48.1% female. The average interval between consultations was 14.3±2.5 months. The prevalence of overweight/obesity increased from 12.6% CI95% 11.6-13.6 to 20.9% CI95% 19.6-22.2; p<0.001, as did the BMI z-score (0.4±1.1 vs. 0.8±1.3; p<0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of overweight and obesity, and BMI z-score in children aged 2 to 5 years increased significantly during the pandemic. |

El inicio de la pandemia por COVID-19 pudo haber favorecido esta patología. El puntaje Z del Índice Masa Corporal (Z-IMC) es un indicador aceptado para su diagnóstico y seguimiento. Objetivos: Evaluar si la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad, y el Z-IMC en niños de 2 a 5 años aumentó durante la pandemia. Material y métodos: Estudio de cohorte retrospectiva. Se incluyeron pacientes asistidos en efectores públicos de salud del Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (GCABA), de 2 a 4 años de edad, con registro de peso y talla en dos consultas, antes y después de haber comenzado el aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio (ASPO). Se registró estado nutricional (Z-IMC) y variación del Z-IMC entre ambas consultas. Resultados: Se evaluaron 3866 sujetos, edad promedio 3,4±0,8 años; 48,1% mujeres. El intervalo promedio entre consultas fue 14,3±2,5 meses. La prevalencia de sobrepeso/obesidad aumentó de 12,6% IC95% 11,6-13,6 a. 20,9% IC95% 19,6-22-2; p<0,001, al igual que el Z-IMC (0,4±1,1 vs. 0,8±1,3; p <0,001). Conclusión: La prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad, y Z-IMC en niños de 2 a 5 años aumentó significativamente durante la pandemia.Introdução: O sobrepeso e a obesidade infantil são problemas de saúde pública.

Foi registrado o estado nutricional (Z-IMC) e a variação do Z-IMC entre as duas consultas. Resultados: Foram avaliados 3866 indivíduos, com idade média de 3,4 ± 0,8 anos; 48,1% mulheres.
