“…However, most of these studies did not control for baseline BMI, parent BMI, or both factors. In addition, four of these studies were cross-sectional in nature [33,[35][36][37] so they were unable to analyze the results based on a follow-up measurement of BMI as we did in the current study. The two longitudinal studies [32,34] did not have a measure of parent weight status as our study and therefore could not control for potential heritable factors.…”

“…Several studies have found a relationship between children who sleep less and higher BMI [34][35][36]. Ha et al [37] found that children who engaged in more than 1 h a day of physical activity significantly reduced their risk of being overweight or obese. However, most of these studies did not control for baseline BMI, parent BMI, or both factors.…”

“…A full review of these articles resulted in the additional elimination of 1 article not originating in the United States and 5 articles presenting adherence to or intake values for food groups other than those dictated by the US Department of Agriculture nutrition guides. Thus, 31 articles were included in the final sample, including 22 studies that examined adherence to federal dietary guidance (Table ), 6 that examined knowledge of federal dietary guidance (Table ), and 3 that examined both adherence to and knowledge of federal dietary guidance (Table ) …”

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans dictates the federal nutrition programs, policies, and recommendations of the United States. Corresponding nutrition guides have been established to help educate the public about the dietary intake patterns recommended in these guidelines as well as to ameliorate the US obesity epidemic and its health-related outcomes. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize population adherence to and knowledge of these guiding US nutrition guides issued since 1992, including the Food Guide Pyramid, MyPyramid, and MyPlate. Of the 31 studies included in the review, 22 examined adherence, 6 examined knowledge, and 3 examined both adherence and knowledge. Across studies, adherence to nutrition guides was low, with participants consuming inadequate levels of fruit, vegetables, and dairy in particular. Knowledge of nutrition guides increased over time since publication and decreased with age of the participants. An association between knowledge of and adherence to nutrition guides was not found. Disparities in knowledge and adherence existed across demographic groups. Based on these findings, it is suggested that federal dietary guidance can be strengthened by increasing dissemination of nutrition guides to the public and tailoring promotional activities to specific demographic and socioeconomic groups.

“…Portanto, o envolvimento familiar, comunitário e escolar na educação alimentar das crianças é fundamental para que elas adquiram hábitos alimentares saudáveis, consumindo adequadamente frutas e verduras e menos alimentos calóricos para diminuir os riscos à saúde ao atingirem a idade adulta (HA et al, 2005).…”

“…Dados divulgados nos Estados Unidos revelaram que a prevalência do sobrepeso em crianças de 6 a 11 anos de idade dobrou e em adolescentes, entre 12 a 19 anos, triplicou nas últimas duas décadas (HA et al, 2005;OGDEN et al, 2014). Na América Latina, entre 42,5 a 51,8 milhões de crianças e adolescentes (20-25% da população), com idade de 0-19 anos, estavam com sobrepeso ou obesidade (RIVERA et al, 2015).…”

RESUMOO aumento do sobrepeso e obesidade em crianças e adolescentes são fatores de grande preocupação global. As escolas são ambientes favoráveis para prevenção do excesso de peso pelo estímulo ao consumo de alimentos saudáveis e à prática de atividade física. Esse trabalho objetivou verificar o estado nutricional de alunos da rede pública de João Pessoa, PB, Brasil, e divulgar os benefícios do exercício físico e da alimentação saudável por meio de atividades lúdicas e da discussão de temas relacionados às pirâmides alimentar e de atividade física. A análise do estado nutricional demonstrou que a maioria dos escolares avaliados apresentou estatura/idade (95,3%) e peso/idade ou índice de massa corporal/idade adequados (70,9%). Entretanto, aproximadamente 25% dos escolares apresentaram excesso de peso. Foi também observado que eles não conheciam os aspectos de proporcionalidade no consumo dos alimentos e nem a necessidade de diversificação dos exercícios físicos, embora os praticassem rotineiramente. As atividades lúdicas com a apresentação das pirâmides alimentar e de exercícios físicos, desenvolvidas durante o projeto de extensão, ressaltaram os benefícios da alimentação equilibrada associada à pratica regular e diversificada de exercícios físicos, necessários à manutenção de uma vida saudável e à prevenção de doenças.Palavras-chave: Escolares. Obesidade. Alimentação saudável. Atividade física. Ações lúdicas. ABSTRACTThe increased incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is a matter of concern worldwide. Schools are a favorable environment to help preventing overweight by encouraging the consumption of healthy food and the practice of physical activity. This
