Resumo: | The prevalence of obesity and overweight has been increasing worldwide over the last few years. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of obesity and overweight in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years from a mid-sized city in southern Brazil, and to determine possible associations with socioeconomic status, aerobic fitness, dietary habits, and leisure activities (sedentary and physical activity). A cross-sectional study was conducted and 1,442 children were evaluated regarding body weight and height. Obesity was defined based on BMI for gender and age. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out between the independent variables and outcome. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was 8% (CI: 7.54-8.45) and 19.9% (CI: 19.62-20.17), respectively. Aerobic fitness (p< 0.000, PR=0.59), practicing out-of-school time sports (p=0.005, PR=1.41), sedentary habits (TV, video games and computer) (p=0.004, PR=1.50), and high socioeconomic level (p< 0.000, PR=2.64) were significantly associated with obesity and overweight in the adjusted multivariate model. Dietary habits were directly associated with obesity and overweight, but did not remain in the final multivariate model. The prevalence of obesity and overweight in this population was high and should be a matter of concern to city health authorities. |

O objetivo do presente estudo foi estimar a prevalência de obesidade e sobrepeso em escolares de 7 a 12 anos (meninos e meninas), de uma cidade serrana do RS e verificar as possíveis associações com as seguintes variáveis: classe socioeconômica, aptidão aeróbica, hábitos alimentares e hábitos de lazer (sedentários e atividade física). Foram avaliados 1.442 escolares, através de um estudo transversal. As variáveis antropo-métricas estudadas foram massa corporal total e estatura. A obesidade foi definida pelo IMC, segundo sexo e idade. Foi realizada uma análise descritiva, bivariada e multivariada entre as variáveis independentes e o desfecho. As prevalências de obesidade e sobrepeso foram de 8% (IC=7,54 – 8,45) e 19,9% (IC= 19,62 – 20,17) respectivamente. As variáveis aptidão aeróbica (p< 0,000 - RP=0,59), prática de esportes fora do horário escolar (p=0,005 - RP=1,41), hábitos sedentários (televisão, vídeo game e computador) (p=0,004 - RP=1,50) e nível socioeconômico alto (p< 0,000 - RP=2,64) apresentaram associação estatística significante com obesidade e sobrepeso mesmo após ajuste na análise multivariada. As variáveis referentes a hábitos alimentares foram significativas na análise bivariada, mas não se mantiveram no modelo multivariado. As prevalências de obesidade e sobrepeso da população estudada encontram-se elevadas e devem ser motivo de preocupação das autoridades de saúde do município.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.

The prevalence of obesity and overweight was 8% (CI: 7.54-8.45) and 19.9% (CI: 19.62-20.17), respectively. Aerobic fitness (p< 0.000, PR=0.59), practicing out-of-school time sports (p=0.005, PR=1.41), sedentary habits (TV, video games and computer) (p=0.004, PR=1.50), and high socioeconomic level (p< 0.000, PR=2.64) were significantly associated with obesity and overweight in the adjusted multivariate model. Dietary habits were directly associated with obesity and overweight, but did not remain in the final multivariate model. The prevalence of obesity and overweight in this population was high and should be a matter of concern to city health authorities. |
