“…The nutritional profile of students from public schools in Juiz de Fora (MG) with a mean age of 10.8 years was also similar to that of the present sample given that 7.5% and 10.4% of the women were overweight and obese, respectively, and 13.5% and 7.6% of the men were overweight and obese, respectively 30 .…”

Objective: To characterize the nutritional status of quilombola students and determine the food security status of their households. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with students aged six to nineteen years from quilombola communities in twelve municipalities of Goiás categorized by age, gender, school location (urban/rural), and nutritional status based on the World Health Organization's height-for-age and body mass index for-age charts. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale was used for measuring food (in)security in their families. Descriptive and association analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test at a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: In a sample of 226 students, overweight (17.2%) was more common than malnutrition (1.3%), especially in students attending urban schools (28.2%) (p<0.05). Most (75.2%) quilombola families experienced food insecurity, especially mild. Conclusion: The apparent contradiction of excess weight and food insecurity occurring simultaneously indicates the need of revising the study instruments and the causal network that identify poverty.

“…Cases were more likely than controls to have overweight or obese parents. This association was expected, since it has been reported by Brazilian and foreign studies 18,19,[26][27][28] . Although the data suggest a genetic component, parental nutritional status may be an indicator of environmental characteristics shared with children, such as food habits and level of physical activity, both of which can be important risk factors for overweight.…”

“…Like other studies, the study overweight/ obese third-graders are more likely to use passive Revista de Nutrição http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1678-98652016000300010 school transport 27,30 . Recent studies have found that active school transport was predictive of lower BMI 39 and increased child cardiovascular endurance during physical activity 40 ; thus, active school transport seems like an important strategy for the promotion of physical activity and prevention of childhood overweight.…”

Objective To assess overweight/obesity of elementary schoolchildren in Campinas , São Paulo , Brazil, and its association with parental nutritional status, children's food consumption, food preferences, and level of physical activity, and familial socioeconomic status. Methods This case-control study included 509 schoolchildren aged 7 to 10 years. Body mass index Z-score was used to determine nutritional status, defining cases (>+1 Z-score) and controls (³-2 ?+1 Z-score). To address association with overweight/obesity, a conceptual model was established and used for multiple analysis, performed by logistic regression. Results The children had an overweight/obesity frequency of 39.5%. Multiple analysis adjusted for socioeconomic level showed that overweight/obese children were more likely to eat at the mall (1.55; 95%CI=1.00-2.40), have overweight and obese parents (OR=1.71; 95%CI=1.08-2.71 and OR=3.55; 95%CI=2.18-5.80 respectively), report use of passive school transport (OR=1.57; 95%CI=1.04-2.36), and consume chicken nuggets on 3 or more days per week (OR=3.03; 95%CI=1.32-6.95). Conclusion These results support the urgent need of strategies to reduce overweight/obesity and promote its prevention in schoolchildren. Moreover, intervention studies involving parents and addressing environmental factors are important for the development of effective programs.

“…The accumulation of body fat present in children of school age tends to persist into adolescence, which has physiological and pathological effects in adult life too. For this reason, the characteristics as a risk group and the chances of success for the actions to be implemented cause overweight adolescents to be one of the main target-groups for strategies of prevention and control of overweight and illnesses correlated with it, based on primary healthcare (PHC) (2) .…”

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the association between the presence of Acantose nigricans and metabolic changes in overweight adolescents, so as to ascertain the relevance of the identification of this marker in the nursing consultation. METHOD: a cross-sectional study undertaken between April 2009 and April 2010 with 118 adolescents who were service users of the Center for Child Obesity in Campina Grande in the Brazilian State of Paraíba (PB). The presence of Acantose nigricans, and the subjects' anthropometric measurements, were investigated. The following exams were made: insulin, triglycerides, HDL-Cholesterol, Glucose and the homeostatic model of assessment (HOMA-IR). RESULTS: there was association between the presence of Acantose nigricans and participants with insulin resistance (p=0.008), metabolic syndrome (p=0.031), elevated triglycerides (p=0.045) and altered HDL (p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: the suggestion is supported that the detection/identification of Acantose nigricans may be used in the nursing consultation as a tool for identifying overweight adolescents with greater risk of metabolic changes.
