A B S T R A C T ObjectiveThe aims of this article are to estimate the prevalence and to identify the sociodemographic factors and food consumption associated with central obesity in schoolchildren 6-10 years old of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. MethodsIt consists in a cross-sectional population-based study involving 4,963 schoolchildren enrolled in the public and private sectors. The dependent variable is central obesity investigated by measuring waist circumference and classified according to percentiles/gender/age. Bivariate and multivariate analyzes were also performed. ResultsThe prevalence of central obesity was 4,9% (CI95%=4,3;5,5), being more prevalent in boys with statistical significance (p=0,003). The other variables investigated (age the schoolchildren, type of school, maternal education, protective and risk food consumption, number of daily meals) were not associated with outcome. Among the schoolchildren who had central obesity (n=243), 99.3% of the boys and 99.0% of the girls also showed overweight/obesity. ConclusionThe prevalence of central obesity was lower than that reported in national and international studies. In this scenario, the gender (male) variable was strongly associated with the outcome. The identified prevalence is a major concern in nutrition and medical science as the central obesity may remain in adulthood and show

“…da amostra apresentou obesidade central. Já no estudo de Ferrazzi et al 25 , a ocorrência de obesidade abdominal foi de 11,3%, semelhante à encontrada neste estudo. Nesse sentido, percebe-se que o PSE é uma importante ferramenta tanto para a caracterização das condições de saúde do escolar, quanto para a construção de diversos tipos de intervenções intersetoriais que contribuam para o desenvolvimento pleno desses indivíduos.…”

O Programa Saúde nas Escolas (PSE) começou a ser implementado no município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, no ano de 2015, através de um projeto piloto implementado em uma escola municipal da cidade. O objetivo deste Programa nacionalmente inclui estabelecer uma parceria entre os serviços de saúde e educação para ampliar as ações de promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças com foco em escolares da rede pública. O presente estudo visa determinar a ocorrência de fatores de risco cardiometabólicos (sobrepeso, aumento da pressão arterial e circunferência abdominal) em crianças e adolescentes estudantes da escola municipal participante do projeto piloto do Programa Saúde nas Escolas em Juiz de Fora. Estudo seccional a partir de revisão de prontuários de 248 escolares de 4 a 17 anos, de ambos os sexos, matriculados na Escola Municipal participante do projeto piloto Saúde nas Escolas no período de agosto de 2015 a dezembro de 2016. Todos os escolares participantes foram devidamente autorizados pelos pais ou responsáveis legais. Estavam na faixa de “sobrepeso”, a partir da análise do IMC 12,8% dos escolares; 20,5% na faixa de “obesos”. Na análise da pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), 5,3% foram classificados como pré-hipertensos e 3,4% como hipertensos. Quanto à pressão arterial diastólica (PAD), 5,3% são pré-hipertensos e 5,9%, hipertensos. Adicionalmente, 14,8% estão acima do percentil 90 nas medidas de circunferência abdominal (CA). A escola assistida pelo PSE em Juiz de Fora apresentou ocorrência significativa de fatores de risco cardiometabólicos, reforçando a importância da continuidade do programa.

Obesity among children is considered a concern in public health in Brazil. Careful attention must be given to abdominal obesity because of its association with heart diseases and metabolic problems that may reach children. This study aimed to analyze the association between abdominal obesity, and socioeconomic and demographic indicators in schoolchildren engaged in elementary public schools in the city of Santa Izabel do Oeste (Southern Brazil). A cross-sectional investigation was carried out to investigate waist circumference (WC) and waist to height ratio (WHR). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze associations. A sample of 361 students from 5 to 9 years old (mean 7.82±1.3) was analyzed, of which 19.1% presented high WC, 22.7% high WHR, and 16.1% had high measurements in both. Among socioeconomic factors ≥11 years of maternal education was significantly associated to high WHR (OR= 1.79; CI95%=1.02-3.15). The active transport provoked lower odds of both WC (OR=0.28 [95% CI=0.09-0.86]) and WHR (OR=0.20 [95% CI=0.07-0.58]). The findings show that schoolchildren whose mothers had higher educational level present higher odds for elevated WHR. Using active transportation was significantly and inversely associated to odds of both higher WHR and WC. The results indicate the importance of adopting strategies to improve the practice of physical activities that result in higher energetic expenditure. Adopting continues actions to promote health food intake are also necessary. Both actions could be planned on behalf of the Health in School Program and the School Feeding Program.
