A high prevalence of children with overweight or obesity was found in the present study, which is a reflection of the nutrition transition that Brazil has undergone [18][19][20][21] . This phenomenon is characterized by a reduction in the prevalence of nutritional deficits and a significant increase in overweight and obesity (Ministry of Health, 2009).…”

“…Em outro estudo a respeito do estado nutricional de 20.084 alunos de 1ª a 4ª séries matriculados nas escolas da área urbana das redes de ensino pública e privada do Município de Pelotas, inseridos na faixa etária dos sete aos dez anos, foram encontradas percentagens de obesidade similares entre meninos e meninas, respectivamente 8,6 e 9,4% (17) . Esses resultados diferem do presente estudo, no qual foram verificadas diferenças significantes entre os sexos (Tabela 2), pois foram avaliados apenas escolares da rede pública estadual de ensino.…”
