Summary: Objective: To estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in 10-year-old schoolchildren in a city in southern Brazil and to explore possible association with sex and type of school. Methods: A cross-sectional study nested in a cohort study was carried out. 942 schoolchildren, aged 10 years enrolled in public and private schools, from families residing in Palhoça, SC, Brazil, were included. Weight and height were collected. The body mass index was calculated using Z score. The chi-square test was used to analyse the association between the studied variables. Results: The prevalence rate of overweight was 39.5%, 22.8% being overweight, 14.3% obesity and 2.4% severe obesity. The prevalence rates of obesity and severe obesity were statistically higher in males. Conclusion: The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in the studied population were high, being higher among male students.

Métodos: Estudio epidemiológico transversal alineado con un estudio de cohorte que incluyó a 942 escolares de 10 años matriculados en escuelas públicas y privadas de familias residentes en Palhoça, SC. Se recogieron peso y talla. El índice de masa corporal analizado se calculó mediante la puntuación Z. Se utilizó la prueba de chi-cuadrado para analizar la asociación entre las variables estudiadas. Resultados: La tasa de prevalencia de sobrepeso fue de 39,5%, con 22,8% de sobrepeso, 14,3% de obesidad y 2,4% de obesidad severa. Las tasas de prevalencia de obesidad y obesidad severa fueron estadísticamente más altas en los hombres. Conclusión: Las tasas de prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población estudiada fueron elevadas, siendo mayores en los estudiantes varones.Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade em escolares de 10 anos de idade em um município do sul do Brasil e explorar eventual associação com sexo e tipo de escola. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico de delineamento transversal alinhado a um estudo de coorte que incluiu 942 escolares com idade de 10 anos matriculados em escolas públicas e privadas de famílias residentes em Palhoça, SC. Foram coletados peso e altura. Calculou-se o índice de massa corpórea analisado por meio do escore Z. O teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para analisar a associação entre variáveis estudadas. Resultados: A taxa de prevalência do excesso de peso foi de 39,5%, sendo 22,8% de sobrepeso, 14,3% de obesidade e 2,4% de obesidade grave. As taxas de prevalência da obesidade e da obesidade grave foram estatisticamente maiores no sexo masculino. Conclusão: As taxas de prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade na população estudada foram elevadas, sendo maiores em escolares do sexo masculino.Research, Society and Development2021-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2326810.33448/rsd-v10i15.23268Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 15; e436101523268Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 15; e436101523268Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 15; e4361015232682525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/23268/20480Copyright (c) 2021 João Ghizzo Filho; Eliane Traebert; Nazaré Otília Nazário; Altaiana Portella da Rosa Flôres; Maria Vitória Gazzoni; Jefferson Traeberthttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGhizzo Filho, JoãoTraebert, ElianeNazário, Nazaré OtíliaFlôres, Altaiana Portella da RosaGazzoni, Maria VitóriaTraebert, Jefferson2021-12-06T10:13:53Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23268Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:11.929817Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
