“…The diagnosis is a complex one, and the pediatrician must detect eating disorders as soon as possible, so that multidisciplinary actions can reverse the situation. 18 The present study showed a higher prevalence of obesity in boys (24.7%), similar to that found in another study carried out in Brazil, 19 but different from a study carried out in Mexico, 20 which found a predominance of obesity in girls. A study carried out in Fortaleza, Brazil, 21 agrees with the results found in this study, by stating that systolic BP rises concomitantly with increasing age.…”

“…But the residual associations also showed that these differences might be linked to other factors, and this was further emphasised by the large difference in abdominal obesity between regions or areas that had no link with any of the socio-economic or lifestyle factors measured here. Such differences between regions (28,33) and higher prevalence in urban v. rural areas (8,(34)(35)(36) are frequently reported as a consequence of a different level of exposure to genetic influences (37) and particularly to environmental factors (38) , and also to traditions, psychological and cultural factors that influence eating behaviours (38)(39)(40) . The higher prevalence of overweight and obesity in females v. males observed here in rural areas has been reported for other African countries (30) , and may also be partly linked to cultural factors.…”
