“…[29][30] The same trend was observed in Pernambuco, where excess weight was significantly higher among children and adolescents from families with a higher income and a better socioeconomic level. 25,31 In the South of the country, in Santa Catarina, the results found in a study of students enrolled in the public and private networks were similar to our research, as a significant association was identified between excess weight and income. 32 Although physical exercise was not associated with overweight in this study, research shows that a higher family income can provide greater access to consumption goods that stimulate sedentariness, like the computer.…”

ABSTRACT:To assess the factors associated with excess weight (overweight/obese) in school children enrolled in the public education network in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Cross-sectional study with 1187 children between 6 and 14 years of age from municipal schools in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was calculated based on the parameters of the World Health Organization, using the WHO Anthro-Plus Program. Logistic regression was used to identify the variables associated with excess weight, at a significance level of 5%. A prevalence of 24.4% of excess weight was identified. Family income and maternal education were determinants of overweight in the study population (p<0.05). Excess weight was configured as an important health problem among the students. The public power needs to implement intersectoral measures with a view to the prevention and reduction of the prevalence of overweight and obesity among school-aged children. DESCRIPTORS:Obesity.

Estudo transversal com 1187 escolares de seis a 14 anos de idade da rede municipal de ensino de Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. Prevalência de obesidade e sobrepeso foi calculada a partir dos parâmetros da Organização Mundial de Saúde, utilizando-se o Programa WHO Anthro-Plus. Regressão logística foi usada para identificação das variáveis associadas ao excesso de peso, considerando um nível de significância de 5%. Foi identificada prevalência de 24,4% de excesso de peso. Renda familiar e escolaridade materna foram determinantes do excesso de peso na população do estudo (p<0,05). O excesso de peso configurou-se como importante problema de saúde entre os escolares. Medidas de ordem intersetorial necessitam ser implementadas pelo poder público, visando prevenir e reduzir as prevalências de sobrepeso e obesidade entre os escolares. DESCRITORES:Obesidade.

“…Esses achados corroboram os de Campos et al 28 , os quais, em pesquisa com 1.158 escolares da cidade de Fortaleza, constataram que o excesso ponderal se concentrava entre os escolares da rede particular de ensino. Silva et al 31 também identificaram tendência similar nos estudantes de melhor nível econômico do semiárido brasileiro.…”

Objective: To determine overweight and obesity prevalence in preschool children from public education, and to determine their relation to food consumption. Method: Cross-sectional study with children aged between 2 and 5 years, of both sexes, enrolled at municipal day care centers. Socioeconomic, demographic and anthropometric data were collected, in order to calculate the body mass index (BMI) for age. Data on food consumption were assessed using a Food Frequency Questionnaire. χ 2 test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation were used at a significance level of 5%. Results: Of 548 children, 52% were male, with mean age of 4.2 years old. Most families had incomes between 1 and 2 minimum wages (59.7%), in addition to 10 years (mothers) of education. Anthropometric parameters did not differ significantly between sexes. According to the BMI-for-age, it was found that most of children were well-nourished (85.2%), 8.2% had the risk of becoming overweight, and 4.2% were overweight. The most consumed foods were: rice (100%), beans (99.4%), bread (98.5%), fruit (98.5%), red meat (97.1%), butter and margarine (95.4%), biscuits, cakes and sweet pies (94.1%), dairy products (94.1%), chocolate milk (91.7%), and soft drinks (90.2%). Consumed foods that were strongly correlated (r > 0.7) to the risk of/excess weight were, as follows: bread; biscuits, cakes, sweet pies; dairy products; chocolate milk; sausages. Conclusion: There was low prevalence of overweight and absence of obesity among the population assessed. The risk of overweight was greater among girls. Data from the study showed deviations in food consumption.
