Resumo: The nutritional status of a child plays a fundamental role in progressive growth and helps them develop social and psychomotor skills. The objective of this study was to characterize the nutritional status of students participating in an extension project of a community university. The sample included 80 children, between 5 and 6 years of age and enrolled in the first year of elementary school in public schools. To assess nutritional status, weight and height, triceps skinfold and subscapular skinfold data were collected, in addition to age and gender. Body mass index for age (BMI/I) was used to classify nutritional status. It was found that 17.6% of the sample presented overweight, obesity and severe obesity rates. The study showed a higher frequency of obesity in female schoolchildren (p = 0.034). There is a prevalence of eutrophic patterns in the students evaluated, but the overweight pattern was assessed in 11.3%, obesity in 5% and severe obesity in 1.3%. With the results found, the implementation of educational programs with the objective of raising awareness among the school community about the problem of obesity is important to create appropriate solutions for different populations, in favor of the eradication of obesity in children.

Este estudio tenía como objetivo caracterizar el estado nutricional de los estudiantes que participan en un proyecto de extensión de una universidad comunitaria. La muestra incluyó a 80 niños, entre 5 y 6 años de edad y inscritos en el primer año de la escuela primaria en escuelas públicas. Para evaluar el estado nutricional, el peso y la altura, se recopilaron datos de pliegues cutáneos y pliegues de piel subescapulares, además de edad y sexo. Se utilizó el índice de masa corporal para la edad (IMC/I) para clasificar el estado nutricional. Se encontró que el 17,6% de la muestra presentaba tasas de sobrepeso, obesidad y obesidad severa. El estudio mostró una mayor frecuencia de obesidad en las niñas escolares (p = 0,034). Existe una prevalencia de patrones eutróficos en los estudiantes evaluados, pero el patrón de sobrepeso se evaluó en el 11,3%, la obesidad en el 5% y la obesidad grave en el 1,3%. Según los resultados, la implementación de programas educativos con el fin de sensibilizar a la comunidad escolar sobre el problema de la obesidad es de suma importancia, con el fin de crear soluciones adecuadas a diferentes poblaciones, en favor de la erradicación de la obesidad infantil.O estado nutricional de uma criança desempenha papel fundamental no crescimento progressivo e auxilia que desenvolva habilidades sociais e psicomotoras. Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar o estado nutricional de escolares participantes de um projeto extensionista, de uma universidade comunitária. A amostra incluiu 80 crianças, entre 5 e 6 anos de idade e matriculadas no primeiro ano do ensino fundamental em escolas públicas. Para avaliação do estado nutricional, foram coletados dados de peso e estatura, dobra cutânea tricipital e subescapular, além da idade e sexo. Para classificação do estado nutricional foi utilizado o índice de massa corporal para idade (IMC/I). Verificou-se que 17,6% da amostra apresentou índices de sobrepeso, obesidade e obesidade grave. O estudo apontou maior frequência de obesidade em escolares do sexo feminino (p = 0,034). Há prevalência de padrões eutróficos nos escolares avaliados, porém identificou nas crianças avaliadas o padrão de sobrepeso em 11,3%, obesidade em 5% e obesidade grave em 1,3%. Diante do cenário encontrado, a implantação de programas educativos com o intuito de conscientizar a comunidade escolar sobre o problema da obesidade é de suma importância, para criar soluções adequadas às diferentes populações, em prol da erradicação da obesidade infantil.Research, Society and Development2020-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/646910.33448/rsd-v9i8.6469Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 8; e858986469Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 8; e858986469Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 8; e8589864692525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/6469/5949Copyright (c) 2020 Jéssica Marcelino, Bárbara Regina Alvarez, Francine Costa de Bom, Marco Antonio da Silva, Josete Mazonhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarcelino, JéssicaAlvarez, Bárbara ReginaBom, Francine Costa de Silva, Marco Antonio da Mazon, Josete2020-08-20T18:00:17Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6469Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:29:35.334718Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
