“…Ademais, nossos resultados demonstraram associação positiva entre os níveis elevados de TG e dois importantes fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares: obesidade e sedentarismo, principalmente entre as crianças (< 10 anos). Este achado foi concordante com os de outros estudos brasileiros 3,28,29 . Altas concentrações de TG contribuem para o seu depósito na parede do vaso e o início do processo de acumulação do LDL-c, que está fortemente associado ao risco de desenvolvimento da aterosclerose 5 .…”

“…O trabalho verificou, ainda, ao avaliar o PGC desses jovens em relação à idade, uma tendência de maior PGC nas crianças; no entanto, não houve diferença significativa entre as crianças e adolescentes, conforme observado por Cândido et al 20 em estudo prévio realizado com essa mesma população.…”

Objective: To analyze the relation between nutritional status, food habits and physical activity level in schoolchildren. Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out with 661 schoolchildren, from 6 to 14 years old, enrolled in public and private schools located in the urban area of Ouro Preto, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied to collect data on demographic, socio-economic, anthropometric and level of physical activity variables. Schoolchildren were classified according to criteria for body mass index by age, body fat percentage and physical activity level, respectively. Dietary data were collected through a validated food frequency questionnaire specific for children and adolescents. Food consumption was evaluated according to an adaptation of the Recommended Foods Score, whose objective is the assessment of overall diet quality with a focus on healthy food consumption. Results:We observed high frequency of overweight according to body mass index per age (20.1%) and body fat percentage (22.8%), as well as physical inactivity (80.3%) among schoolchildren. We also found low scores on the Recommended Foods Score in 77.2% of students. There was no significant relation between overweight and physical inactivity or food consumption (p > 0.05). Conclusion:Schoolchildren had a high frequency of overweight, which, alone, was not associated with the high physical inactivity and the low quality diet observed. Therefore, more studies should be performed to identify other factors besides those already described, which may be influencing overweight in this population.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2012;88(5):406-12: Overweight, obesity, food habits, physical activity, child, adolescent. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar a relação entre estado nutricional, hábitos alimentares e nível de atividade física em escolares.Métodos: Realizou-se estudo transversal com 661 escolares de 6-14 anos de idade, matriculados nas escolas públicas e privadas da área urbana da cidade. Um questionário semiestruturado foi aplicado para coleta das variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas, antropométricas e nível de atividade física. Os escolares foram classificados segundo critérios para índice de massa corporal por idade, percentual de gordura corporal e nível de atividade física, respectivamente. Os dados dietéticos foram obtidos por meio de questionário de frequência alimentar validado e específico para crianças e adolescentes, a partir do qual o consumo alimentar foi avaliado segundo o Recommended Foods Score adaptado, cuja finalidade é a avaliação da qualidade global da dieta com enfoque no consumo de alimentos saudáveis.Resultados: Elevadas frequências de excesso de peso segundo índice de massa corporal por idade (20,1%) e percentual de gordura corporal (22,8%), bem como inatividade física (80,3%), foram observadas entre os escolares. Baixas pontuações no escore de consumo foram encontradas para 77,2% dos escolares. Não foi observada associação significativa entre o excesso de peso e inatividade física ou consum...

“…This scenario is also alarming in the age groups under 20 years (children and adolescents). Cândido et al 4 observed that schoolchildren aged 6-14 years residing in that city present a high prevalence of overweight (14.9%) and dyslipidemia, particularly in relation to total cholesterol (36.9%); they also observed an increase in the clustering of risk factors, which may indicate a higher risk of CVD in this population in the future.…”

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between food habits and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in schoolchildren of the city Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a population-based sample of 738 schoolchildren aged 6-14 years. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for collecting demographic, socioeconomic, biochemical, clinical, and anthropometric data. Food intake was determined by a food-frequency questionnaire. Food habits were evaluated according to the adapted Recommended Food Score. Multiple linear regression models were constructed to assess how food consumption was associated with cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS: The schoolchildren presented a dietary pattern characterized by low consumption of healthy foods. Association of cardiovascular risk factors showed that the consumption of foods according to the adapted Recommended Food Score was negatively and significantly associated with tetrapolar percentage of body fat (p=0.030) and systolic blood pressure (p=0.049) in children aged 6-9 years. CONCLUSION: Children's dietary patterns proved to be an important determinant of some of the cardiovascular risk factors studied. Thus, food intake assessment is a primary tool for the prevention and early intervention on cardiovascular risk factors during childhood.
