“…Although we must be prudent when comparing our data with previous studies, given the methodological differences, the results obtained from the DAFIS project are similar to those previously reported for similar populations (Ortega et al, 2005(Ortega et al, , 2011aCastro-Piñero et al, 2009;Marrodán Serrano et al, 2009). In this regard, applying the cut-off points identified by Cole et al (2000) for BMI, the prevalence of overweight and obesity were 34.88% and 35.82% in boys and girls respectively, which is coincident with data previously reported for Galician children and adolescents (Pérez-Ríos et al, 2018) and slightly lower than Spanish scholars (Sánchez-Cruz et al, 2013;García-Solano et al, 2020). Nevertheless, BMI results can be complemented by the analysis of cut-off points suggested for adiposity indicators.…”

Percentiles and Principal Component Analysis of Physical Fitness From a Big Sample of Children and Adolescents Aged 6-18 Years: The DAFIS Project

Assessing physical fitness has emerged as a proxy of the health status of children and adolescents and therefore as relevant from a public health point of view. DAFIS is a project included in Plan Galicia Saudable (Healthy Galicia Plan) of the regional government of Galicia (Spain). DAFIS consists of an on-line software devoted to record the results of a standard physical fitness protocol carried out as a part of the physical education curriculum. The aims of this study were: to obtain normative values of physical fitness of the Galician school population evaluated in the DAFIS project, and to identify a reduced number of components and tests able to capture a significant amount of the variability in the physical fitness of children and adolescents. From an initial sample of 27784 records, 15287 cases (7543 males, 7744 females) were considered after filtering. Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape were used for obtaining percentile curves and tables for each sex. Furthermore, a principal components analysis was performed, selecting the number of components by applying the Kaiser’s rule and selecting a subset of variables considering the correlation between each variable and the components. Percentile curves and normative values are reported for each test and sex. Physical fitness was better in boys than in girls throughout age groups, except for flexibility that was consistently higher in girls. Two main components were detected throughout age groups: the first one representing body composition and partially cardiorespiratory fitness and the second one muscular fitness. For boys and girls, waist to height ratio had the highest correlations with the first component in four out of six age groups. The highest correlation with the second component, was most frequently observed for the handgrip test both in boys and girls (four out of six age groups). This study provides evidence about the utility of school community actions like DAFIS aimed to track the health-related fitness of children and adolescents. The results suggest that fat mass distribution (i.e., waist to height ratio and waist circumference) and muscular performance (mainly handgrip) concentrate a high proportion physical fitness variance.

“…According to this study, the female sex is the one with the highest percentage of overweight and malnutrition. According to the ages, there is an increase in overweight from the age of seven, which is consistent with a study in Spain, in which it was found that overweight in schoolchildren is more frequent in the female sex and that this health problem increases at an older age 27 . This can be influenced from an early age, since the female sex has a higher percentage of body fat compared to men, in addition to a poor diet with high sugar and fat content, which may be contributing to the increase in overweight.…”

Introducción. La nutrición y salud bucal son temas de interés en salud pública por su alto impacto en el bienestar y desarrollo de las personas. Existe una alta prevalencia e incidencia de caries y malnutrición en los primeros años de vida. Objetivo. Determinar la relación entre el índice de caries en dentición primaria y permanente e índice de masa corporal en niños de 5 a 11 años en las Unidades de Salud de San Miguel Tepezontes y Panchimalco en el año 2019.Metodología. Investigación cuantitativa con una muestra de 265 niños de 5 a 11 años. Se evaluó el índice de masa corporal y el índice de caries; se hizo un análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial, realizando la prueba estadística de correlación de Spearman. Resultados. Se encontró que el índice de caries es de 2,11 en dentición permanente con una prevalencia de 70,5 % y el índice de caries de 7,02 en dentición primaria con una prevalencia de un 94,98 %. El coeficiente de correlación de Spearman entre índice de masa corporal e índice de caries en dentición permanente fue de 0,226, que indica una correlación positiva baja y el índice de masa corporal e índice de caries en dentición primaria fue - 0,158, que indica una correlación negativa muy baja. Conclusión. Existe relación entre el índice de caries en ambas denticiones y el índice de masa corporal.

“…There are two other Spanish surveys that study food that are conducted somewhat irregularly: the Food Consumption Panel of the Ministry of Agriculture [ 45 ] and the Aladdin Study on childhood obesity promoted by the Ministry of Health, which has now been conducted four times (2011, 2013, 2015, and 2019) [ 46 ]. Unlike the three mentioned above, these surveys are not integrated into the National Statistical Plan (Royal Decree-Law410/2016), so the agencies responsible are not obliged to make the data they collect publicly available and the databases are not public either.…”

Are Spanish Surveys Ready to Detect the Social Factors of Obesity?

The social origins of obesity are now recognised: a problem that is initially biological is today a public health problem with a social origin. This paper raises the question of whether the official statistical sources used to understand changes in diet are able to detect this shift in analysis. After reviewing the social factors that explain obesity, we examine the official Spanish statistics that can inform about dietary changes: the ENS National Health Survey, the EPF Family Budget Survey, and the EET Time Use Survey, all carried out by the Spanish Statistical Office. All of them include socio-demographic variables and some locational variables. However, the lack of health variables in the economic survey and the lack of social variables in the health survey prevent the gathering of reliable scientific evidence to offer solid support in stopping the obesity epidemic. Food has become particularly important as one of the main areas where unhealthy decisions and choices involve high risk; the situation also demonstrates the relationship between social inequality and obesity. Obesity is now understood in a radically different way and the origin of the problem lies in social and cultural factors. The current surveys do not provide the resources to capture the social causality of obesity, but slight modifications would help expand their capabilities and offer reliable scientific evidence to stop the obesity epidemic.
