Resumo: Objective: To estimate the accuracy of abdominal circumference measurement as a method of diagnosing overweight in six-to-seven-years-old children. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 1026 six-to-seven-years-old schoolchildren in southern Brazil was carried out. Children’s weight and height were collected at schools. Body mass index were calculated and categorized in z-score in eutrophy, overweight and obesity. Abdominal circumference was measured in centimeters with a tape with children in standing position at midpoint between the lower ribs margin and the iliac crest. Correlation between abdominal circumference and body mass index was performed through Pearson's correlation coefficient. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of abdominal circumference were estimated. The Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve was used to measure the accuracy. Results: A positive linear correlation value of 0.582 and a determination coefficient 0.39 were observed. The accuracy value of 0.859 was observed. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values varied according to each value in centimeters of abdominal circumference. Conclusion: Abdominal circumference measure showed to be an accurate method for detecting overweight and obesity in six-to-seven-years-old children.

Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal con 1026 escolares de seis a siete años del sur de Brasil. El peso y la estatura de los niños se recopilaron en las escuelas. El índice de masa corporal se calculó y categorizó en puntaje z en eutrofia, sobrepeso y obesidad. La circunferencia abdominal se midió en centímetros con una cinta con los niños en posición de pie en el punto medio entre el margen inferior de las costillas y la cresta ilíaca. La correlación entre la circunferencia abdominal y el índice de masa corporal se realizó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Se estimaron la sensibilidad, especificidad, valores predictivos positivos y negativos de la circunferencia abdominal. Se utilizó la Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve para medir la precisión. Resultados: Se observó un valor de correlación lineal positiva de 0.582 y un coeficiente de determinación de 0.39. Se observó un valor de precisión de 0,859. La sensibilidad, especificidad, valores predictivos positivos y negativos variaron según cada valor en centímetros de circunferencia abdominal. Conclusión: La medición de la circunferencia abdominal demostró ser un método preciso para detectar el sobrepeso y la obesidad en niños de seis a siete años.Objetivo: Estimar a acurácia da medida da circunferência abdominal como método de diagnóstico de excesso de peso em crianças de seis a sete anos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal envolvendo 1.026 escolares de seis a sete anos de idade no sul do Brasil. O peso e a altura das crianças foram coletados nas escolas. O índice de massa corporal foi calculado e categorizado em escore z em eutrofia, sobrepeso e obesidade. A circunferência abdominal foi medida em centímetros com fita, com as crianças em pé, no ponto médio entre a margem inferior das costelas e a crista ilíaca. A correlação entre a circunferência abdominal e o índice de massa corporal foi realizada por meio do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Foram estimados a sensibilidade, especificidade, valores preditivos positivos e negativos da circunferência abdominal. A Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve foi usada para medir a precisão. Resultados: Observou-se um valor de correlação linear positiva de 0,582 e coeficiente de determinação de 0,39. Foi observado o valor de acurácia de 0,859. Sensibilidade, especificidade, valores preditivos positivo e negativo variaram de acordo com cada valor em centímetros da circunferência abdominal. Conclusão: A medida da circunferência abdominal mostrou-se um método acurado para detecção de sobrepeso e obesidade em crianças de seis a sete anos.Research, Society and Development2022-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2463810.33448/rsd-v11i1.24638Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 1; e23511124638Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 1; e23511124638Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 1; e235111246382525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/24638/21830Copyright (c) 2022 Eliane Traebert; Graziela Leão; Guilherme de Azevedo Traebert; Altaiana Portella da Rosa Flôres; Jefferson Traeberthttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTraebert, ElianeLeão, GrazielaTraebert, Guilherme de Azevedo Flôres, Altaiana Portella da Rosa Traebert, Jefferson2022-01-16T18:08:18Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/24638Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:43:07.815666Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
