Resumo: | The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing worldwide, no mattering age groups and socioeconomic status. In Brazil, it is still unclear the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents, since most Brazilian studies have only verified regional prevalence of obesity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the scientific production regarding the prevalence of weight excess in Brazilian children and adolescents. A search in the relevant electronic databases Medline/Pubmed, Web of Science, Lilacs, Scielo and BVS was performed. After analyzing 61 studies, the overall prevalence was 25.5%.When sample was stratified weight excess degree, a prevalence of17% and 11.6% for overweight and obesity were observed, respectively. Analyzing differences by sex, boys presented higher prevalence of overall weight excess (e.g., 26.4% vs 23.5%), overweight (17% vs 16%) and obesity (11.9% vs 9.1%) than girls. With respect to Brazilian regions and its differences, individuals from southern presented the highest prevalence of overall weight excess (33.2%) and overweight (20.1%). The southeastern region showed the highest prevalence of obesity (18.2%).The results obtained in the current study indicate that Brazil presents a scenario of crescent increasing on the prevalence of weight excess. These results are in accordance with studies from other countries,and reinforce the increase of the overall weight excess prevalence in Brazilian children and adolescents, highlighting the increasing of obesity rates, since it is a more concerning condition than overweight. Therefore, preventive measures to reduce weight excess increase, as well as treatment programs aiming to tackle obesity in childhood should be public health system top priority. |

No Brasil, ainda é incerto a prevalência de obesidade em crianças e adolescentes devido a maioria dos estudos serem de características regionais. Portanto, o propósito do presente estudo foi analisar a produção científica referente à prevalência de excesso de peso em crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PubMed, WEB of Science, LILACS, Scielo e BVS.Foram analisados 61 estudos, sendo identificado 17% de sobrepeso e 11,6% de obesidade.As prevalências de excesso de peso (26,4% vs 23,5%), sobrepeso (17% vs 16%) e obesidade (11,9% vs 9,1%) foram maiores entre os meninos comparados as meninas, respectivamente. As crianças e os adolescentes da Região Sul apresentaram maior prevalência de excesso de peso (33,2%) e sobrepeso (20,1%), e as do Sudeste maior prevalência de obesidade (18,2%). Nossa análise indicou que o Brasil apresenta um quadro de prevalência crescente de excesso de peso, similar ao de outros países.Os resultados reforçam o aumento da prevalência de excesso de peso em crianças e adolescentes no Brasil, especialmente pelo aumento da obesidade, que é considerada uma condição mais grave que o sobrepeso. Portanto, medidas preventivas para diminuir esta tendência de aumento do excesso de peso, bem como programas de tratamento da obesidade na infância e adolescência deve ser prioridade do Sistema único de Saúde (SUS).Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
