“…Both studies detected associations between food environment characteristics and weight status. In Juiz de Fora, an inverse association was found between the density of supermarkets and hypermarkets and the prevalence of obesity 15 , while in Florianópolis, adolescents' families that used "public markets and greengrocers" and had restaurants near residences presented higher likelihoods to be overweight or obese 32 . A national schoolbased survey investigated the food environment in schools and found that schools that offered meals prepared on the school premises had lesser obesity rates for students 33 .…”

“…Several studies on adult populations have demonstrated positive associations between exposure to fast foods outlets and weight gain 28,29,30,31 . There is a paucity of studies on children and adolescents in this context, but research has rapidly been increasing in Brazil 15,16,32 . However, the methodology used to assess food environment varies between studies.…”

“…The present study, similar to studies performed by Corrêa at al. 32 and Vedovato et al 16 , used food shopping venues to classify food environment exposure, while some studies have classified the establishments based on the foods sold predominantly 15 . These differences, in addition to the particularities in each place of study, illustrate the complexity of characterizing the food environment and may explain the diverse findings.…”

The obesogenic environment stimulates an inadequate diet by hampering healthy choices. This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between the local food environment and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in a representative sample population of adolescents living in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, using multilevel logistic regression models. Among the adolescents, 29.6% were overweight/obese. There were no significant differences between food environment and adolescents’ weight status. However, the presence of fast food restaurants near their home increased the chances of being overweight or obese (OR = 2.53; 95%CI: 1.02-6.27). Results suggest the need to intensify food and nutrition policies, development of culinary skills, and the reduction in prices of healthy foods to facilitate access to these foods, so that adolescents have options in locations to socialize with friends and family.

“…A positive association between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and the use of fast-food restaurants was also identified in Chinese adolescents [ 40 ]. We previously observed a positive association between the use of fast-food restaurants and the consumption of ultra-processed foods with the same characteristics of food groups found in the “Fast Food” pattern [ 24 ].…”

“…Details on the sampling and design of the project were reported by previous studies [ 23 , 24 ]. In summary, a clustered sampling process was performed where the schools were divided into strata according to the administrative regions of the municipality of Florianópolis (central, north, east, and south island and mainland), and the type of school (public or private).…”

Considering the association between the neighborhood food environment and individual eating behaviors, this study aimed to assess the association between parents’ reported use of food facilities by their children, and parental perceived travel time to food facilities, with their children’s dietary patterns. Parents reported the use of supermarkets, full-service and fast-food restaurants, and perceived travel time to these food retailers. To assess school children’s food consumption, a previous day dietary recall was applied. Factor analysis was conducted to identify dietary patterns. To test the association between reported use and perceived travel time to food retailers and school children’s dietary patterns, we performed multilevel linear regression analyses. Parents’ reported use of supermarkets was associated with children’s higher score in the “Morning/Evening Meal” pattern. The use of full-service and fast-food restaurants was associated with children’s higher score in the “Fast Food” pattern. Higher parental perceived travel time to full-service and fast-food restaurants was associated with children’s lower score in the “Fast Food” pattern. Although the use of full-service and fast-food restaurants was associated with a less healthy dietary pattern, the perception of living further away from these food retailers may pose a barrier for the use of these facilities.

ObjectiveTo analyze the obesity, overweight, and thinness trends among Brazilian schoolchildren by sex, age group, and type of school according to World Health Organization (WHO) and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria.MethodsWe conducted four surveys between 2002 and 2018/19 involving schoolchildren aged 7–14 years from a state capital in southern Brazil. Weight status was classified using both WHO and IOTF criteria.ResultsIn the total sample, obesity prevalence based on the IOTF and the WHO criteria were 72% and 44% higher in 2018/19 compared with 2002, respectively. Over the whole period, the obesity prevalence increased among children (WHO: 10.1% vs. 14.1%; IOTF: 5.0% vs. 8.3%), and those from public schools (WHO: 10.5% vs. 16.4%; IOTF: 5.6% vs. 10.1%). There was no significant reduction in thinness prevalence over the analyzed period.ConclusionObesity prevalence remains on an upward trend in a state capital in southern Brazil, especially among children from public schools. A higher prevalence of overweight and obesity was observed using the WHO criteria compared with IOTF criteria.

Utilization of food outlets and intake of minimally processed and ultra-processed foods among 7 to 14-year-old schoolchildren. A cross-sectional study

Abstract: Use of butchers was associated with higher intake of unprocessed/minimally processed foods while use of snack bars or fast-food outlets may have a negative impact on schoolchildren's dietary habits.
