Resumo: | Obesity, overweight and underweight have been more prevalent in adolescence. Such diseases are known as risk factors for various pathologies. This study aims to understand the prevalence of obese and low weight adolescents, as well as to identify their dietary patterns and analyze the perception of body image they have about themselves and their relatives. This is a cross-sectional study involving adolescents aged 15 to 19 years old of a public school in Juiz de Fora – MG. A self-administered questionnaire referent to their food habits and perceptions was used, as well as weight and height measurement of these students, for a BMI estimate. A rate of 11.1% thin adolescents and 7% obese or over weighted adolescents was found. The low weight group consumes less energetic food, both the underweight and the obese showed low consumption of “regulating” food. Overweight adolescents ingest little constructor food. Most individuals that affirm eating little or very little are underweight. Considering the highest BMI values, a bigger proportion of individuals that declared eating more was identified. Such data is important in elaborating strategies to fight off eating disorders in adolescents, not only by interventions, but also by a wide awareness of this population concerning healthy life habits.Keywords: obesity, overweight, thinness, adolescent, food habits |

Tais condições são sabidamente fatores de risco para diversas patologias. Sendo assim, este estudo visa o conhecimento da prevalência de adolescentes obesos e de baixo peso, bem como a identificação de seus padrões alimentares e a análise da percepção da imagem corporal que têm de si mesmos e de seus pais. Trata-se de um estudo transversal envolvendo adolescentes entre 15 e 19 anos de um colégio público de Juiz de Fora - MG. Utilizou-se um questionário, auto preenchido, referente a seus hábitos alimentares e percepções, assim como aferição do peso e altura desses alunos, para o cálculo do IMC. Foram encontrados 11,1% de magros e 7% de adolescentes obesos e com sobrepeso. O grupo de baixo peso consome menos alimentos energéticos, enquanto os de baixo peso e os obesos apresentaram baixo consumo de alimentos “reguladores”. Adolescentes acima do peso ingerem poucos alimentos construtores. A maioria dos indivíduos que afirmam comer pouco ou muito pouco possui baixo peso. Nos maiores valores de IMC foram identificados maior proporção de indivíduos que declaram comer em maior quantidade. Tais dados são importantes na elaboração de estratégias para o combate dos distúrbios alimentares em adolescentes, através não só de intervenções, mas também de uma ampla conscientização desta população no que tange aos hábitos saudáveis de vida.Palavras-chave: obesidade, sobrepeso, magreza, adolescente, hábitos alimentares.Editora UFJF2009-04-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtOrEstudo Observacional Transversalapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamimage/pjpegimage/pjpegapplication/mswordapplication/mswordhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178HU Revista; v. 34 n. 4 (2008)1982-80470103-3123reponame:HU Revista (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178/177https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178/14888https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178/14988https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178/14989https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178/14990https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/178/14993Vieira, Rubens Cleto MoreiraTeixeira, Maria Teresa BustamanteLeite, Isabel Cristina GonçalvesChagas, Daniele de Fátimainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-04T03:53:16Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/178Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevistaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/oairevista.hurevista@ufjf.edu.br1982-80470103-3123opendoar:2023-05-04T03:53:16HU Revista (Online) - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false |
