“…Along with a healthy diet, PA can have a fundamental role, not only in a child's growth period, but also in the prevention of non-communicable diseases throughout life [59]. However, a number of epidemiological studies have alerted concerns about low PA and high consumption of calorie dense foods in children [59]. Current data show that 8 out of 10 children enjoy being physically active, but pupils in the OB group preferred being less active compared to other weight groups (p < 0.05).…”

Growing incidence of obesity and related diseases in children poses new challenges and calls for a review of lifestyle habits. This study aimed to assess daily eating habits (EH) and physical activity (PA) levels and identify their association with obesity in 8–10-year-old children. Children’s EH and time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical intensity (MVPA) was estimated from questionnaires (N = 1788). Weight, height, and waist circumference (WC) were collected, and body mass index (BMI) calculated. Girls consumed more fruits and vegetables, drank more water, and ate smaller portions of carbohydrate and protein rich foods but spent less time in MVPA compared to boys (p < 0.05). Obese children skipped breakfast more often and consumed less fruits and vegetables. Children who chose to eat in front of the screen had higher WC (62.88 ± 8.70 vs 60.59 ± 7.40 cm, p < 0.001) and higher BMI, and chose smaller vegetable portions and more calorie dense snacks (p < 0.001). 15.4% of pupils covered weekly MVPA recommendations with structured PA on weekdays. Increasing MVPA was related to a smaller number of unhealthy EH (p < 0.001). In conclusion, EH and PA levels differ between sexes and obese children have unhealthier EH. Higher levels of MVPA are related to healthier food choices, while pupils having meals in front of the screen have unhealthier EH and anthropometric measures. The majority of pupils did not reach the WHO recommendations of MVPA through structured PA on weekdays. Association between factors (EH and time spent in PA) and BMI was not found in this study.

“…To avoid such consequences, the most promising approach may be to prevent childhood obesity along with an early screening of overweight and obesity [ 14 ]. Indeed, the prevention of pediatric obesity through health promotion strategies has been demonstrated to be the most effective public health intervention [ 15 ].…”

Sonographic Markers Are Useful for Detection of Early Vascular Deterioration in Children with Overweight/Obesity: Effect of a 1-Year Combined Nutritional Education and Physical Exercise Program

et al. 2023

As in adults, childhood obesity is associated with several metabolic disorders; however, there is little information regarding complex obesity-derived complications such as hepatic steatosis or endothelial dysfunction at early ages. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of a nutritional and physical exercise program on obesity comorbidities in the form of subclinical atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver in young children. A total of 148 children completed the study. For nine months (one academic year), children carried out a nutritional and physical activity program of 3 h/week. Anthropometric, clinical, liver ultrasound and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) parameters were evaluated. Our results showed that the program significantly improved anthropometrical parameters, especially regarding BMI and body fat (p < 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). The effect on metabolic parameters was limited, although a significant reduction on triglycerides was observed (p = 0.009). The education program had a great influence on the echogenic parameters, since the percentage of children with light steatosis decreased from 35% to 4% at the end of the study. In addition, cIMT also decreased significantly in both groups, although there was no statistically significant differences between groups. In conclusion, detection of early complications of obesity through sonographic parameters may allow early intervention, as in the present study, to prevent obesity co-morbidities in children.

“…Entretanto, foram evidenciadas mudanças no padrão alimentar dos estudantes brasileiros que divergem das recomendações nutricionais para sua faixa etária (BRASIL, 2016). O excessivo consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados ricos em açúcares e gorduras (HEBESTREIT & BOGL, 2019;NOLL et al, 2019;ENES;CAMARGO;JUSTINO, 2019;COSTA et al, 2018;BRAZ, 2016) tem refletido em carência de micronutrientes (FALCÃO et al, 2019;MONTELES et al, 2019) e no aumento dos índices de sobrepeso e obesidade entre crianças e adolescentes (TRIPICCHIO et al, 2019;LOUZADA et al, 2015;BRASIL, 2016). Ressalta-se que esses indivíduos são frequentemente expostos à publicidade de alimentos ultraprocessados (principalmente os ricos em açúcar) por meio de anúncios na televisão ou em jogos eletrônicos, e sabe-que essa exposição os influencia em suas escolhas alimentares (SMITH et al, 2020;FORDE et al, 2019;MAIA et al, 2017).…”

AGRADECIMENTOS"Aqueles que passam por nós, não nos deixam sós.Deixam um pouco de si, levam um pouco de nós." Antoine de Saint-ExupéryPrimeiramente agradeço ao meu grande exemplo, a professora Adriane, por seu acolhimento, por seus conselhos e pela ternura ao exercer sua vocação de ensinar. Agradeço ao professor Diogo por compartilhar seus sólidos conhecimentos sobre a área de Alimentação Escolar e por suas observações sempre pertinentes. Agradeço pelas valiosas contribuições da banca do exame de qualificação e do exame de defesa. À Secretaria Municipal de Educação da Prefeitura Municipal de Campinas agradeço por acreditarem nesse projeto e por possibilitarem a realização desse trabalho. Agradeço a todos os professores, funcionários e amigos da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, em especial àqueles que ajudaram na concepção e execução desse projeto: às colegas Giovana Alexandre e Luciana Fino, à professora Rosângela Bezerra e à funcionária Jaqueline Petitto da Faculdade de Ciências Aplicadas e ao Professor Jorge Berhens e à Rosângela dos Santos da Faculdade de Engenharia de Alimentos. Agradeço o apoio recebido da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)código de financiamento 001. Meus mais sinceros agradecimentos aos voluntários dessa pesquisa, os queridos estudantes que espero que para sempre conservem a leveza e alegria de sorrir e sonhar. Ao meu querido marido Rafael, agradeço pelo seu apoio incondicional, dedicação e compreensão. Por fim, deixo um agradecimento em especial àqueles que sempre acreditaram em mim e que compartilham comigo essa alegria: meus amados pais. Sem vocês nada disso seria possível! RESUMO Para promover o crescimento, desenvolvimento e manutenção de funções fisiológicas de crianças e adolescentes é fundamental garantir seu acesso à uma nutrição adequada, o que justifica a importância de incluir alimentos funcionais nos cardápios escolares. Tais alimentos, além de suas funções nutricionais básicas, produzem efeitos metabólicos, fisiológicos e/ou efeitos benéficos à saúde. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar aceitabilidade de preparações funcionais por escolares de Campinas/SP. Adaptou-se receitas convencionalmente servidas no município empregando-se ingredientes funcionais e redução de açúcar, obtendo-se: bolo de laranja com biomassa de banana verde, gelatina com suco de uva integral, creme de abacate chocolate em pó com 32% de cacau e salada de frutas com yacon. Analisou-se: composição centesimal, fenóis totais segundo Folin-Ciocalteau e capacidade antioxidante por meio de ensaios com os radicais ABTS [2,2'azinobis(3-etilbenzotiazolina-6-ácido sulfônico)], FRAP (Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma) e DPPH (difenil-picril-hidrazina), comparando-se com preparações convencionais; teor de frutanos utilizando-se kit enzimático Megazyme®; capacidade prebiótica inoculando-se Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 e Bifidobacterium bifidum BB12 em meios de cultura com ágar MRS (Man, Rogosa e Sharpe) substituindo a glicose pelo ingrediente cuja potencial atividade prebiótica buscou-se ...
