“…Para cobrir essa lacuna, foi desenvolvido o Questionário Alimentar do Dia Anterior (QUADA) 10,11,12,13 . O QUADA é um instrumento ilustrado, delineado como um recordatório para obter dados de consumo de alimentos nas refeições do dia anterior para escolares.…”

“…Esse questionário foi anteriormente submetido a dois estudos de validação, dentre uma série de testes propostos para diferentes contextos em futuras pesquisas. A primeira versão do instrumento, denominada Dia Típico de Atividade Física e de Consumo Alimentar (DAFA), foi testada com escolares de primeira a quarta série de uma escola pública, utilizandose como método de referência o recordatório de 24 horas 10 . Na segunda versão (Questionário Alimentar do Dia Anterior), foi avaliada a reprodutibilidade e a validade, utilizando-se as observações diretas de refeições escolares como método de referência e optando-se pela definição do dia anterior para o período de consumo 12,13 .…”

O estudo objetivou conferir validade à terceira versão do Questionário Alimentar do Dia Anterior (QUADA-3) para escolares. O QUADA-3 é um instrumento estruturado com seis refeições e 21 alimentos. Participaram 164 escolares de 6 a 11 anos de idade, de uma escola pública de período integral, em 2007. A validade foi testada pela comparação entre os itens alimentares selecionados no questionário e a observação direta de alimentos consumidos em três refeições escolares do dia anterior (lanche da manhã, almoço, lanche da tarde). Análise de regressão logística multivariada foi conduzida para avaliar a discordância entre as respostas do questionário e o registro das observações. Os resultados indicaram alta sensibilidade e especificidade para a maioria dos itens alimentares. Em média, os valores de sensibilidade e especificidade foram de 70,2% e de 96,2%, respectivamente, para os 12 itens alimentares nas três refeições combinadas. Os escolares de 6 a 8 anos, quando comparados aos de 9 a 11 anos, apresentam maiores taxas de discordância de respostas entre o QUADA-3 e as observações. Os resultados indicaram que o QUADA-3 pode gerar dados válidos para avaliar o consumo alimentar do dia anterior em nível de grupo de escolares.

“…29 The LAF may assist in remembering the types of activities carried out, an important aspect in measuring the construct. 3 Sallis et al 20 (1993) compared four questionnaires aimed at nine-year-old children, with different formats. The questionnaire which did not contain a list of physical activities had the worst results for validity.…”

“…However, they have limitations, such as being dependent on memory and on the interviewers capacity to use them, which can interfere in the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained. 3,7,19 Objective methods, such as accelerometry, are widely used with children. This method, however, does not allow the type of activity to be identifi ed.…”

OBJECTIVE:To assess the validity and operational equivalence of the "Physical Activity Checklist" in children. METHODS:This study complements the cross-cultural adaptation of the Physical Activity Checklist Interview, conducted with 118 school children aged between seven and ten years old, enrolled from the second to the fi fth grades of primary education in the city of São Paulo, SP, Southeastern Brazil, in 2009. The questionnaire enables the quantifi cation of time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activities and sedentary activities and the total and weighted metabolic costs. The accelerometer was adopted as a criterion measure of physical activity. The variables total physical activity (counts/min) and time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity were quantifi ed. The concurrent validity was assessed by Pearson's correlation coeffi cient while the operational equivalence was assessed by data concerning the duration and evaluation of the interview. RESULTS:The values for the correlation coeffi cient between the results from the questionnaire and the accelerometer ranged from 0.34 to 0.40. It was found that LAF overestimates time spent doing moderate and vigorous physical activity when compared to the accelerometer. The average duration of the interviews was 24 minutes (minimum = 13 min, maximum = 41 min, sd = 5 min). The interview item showing the poorest result was the children's ability to estimate time (poor or fair in 24.8% of interviews). CONCLUSIONS:In relation to the original version, the questionnaire "Physical Activity Checklist" presents similar indices of concurrent validity and operational equivalence, confi rming the appropriateness of the cross-cultural adaptation.

The purpose of this study was to verify the association between unhealthy weight and academic performance and the influence of physical activity level (PAL) in elementary school children. This study was conducted with 450 elementary school students (50% girls) enrolled in 1st to 4th grades. PAL was assessed by self-reported questionnaire of typical physical activity and daily food intake (DAFA). <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,serif; mso-fareast-font-family: ";Arial Unicode MS";; mso-hansi-font-family: ";Arial Unicode MS";; mso-bidi-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Academic achievement (Portuguese and Mathematics) was estimated based on the academic performance system of public schools from Recife/Brazil. Binary logistic regression was used to verify the association between unhealthy weight (underweight and overweight) and normal weight with academic performance. The results showed that 26.6% of the students presented overweight, 11.1% presented underweight, 49.1% and 50.9% were classified as high and low PAL, respectively. In addition, 56.9% had sufficient academic performance in Portuguese and 51.1% had sufficient academic performance in Mathematics. Students with overweight presented higher odds for insufficient performance in Portuguese when compared to normal weight counterparts, even when adjusted for reported PAL, gender and age (OR = 1.69; 95%CI: 1.08-2.64). The results corroborate with evidences that unhealthy weight is associated with poor academic performance in children.
