“…Em pesquisa realizada com imigrantes fazendeiros que viviam nos Estados Unidos, foi demonstrado que os que estavam em IA em geral, apresentavam maior idade, gastavam 30% de sua renda com comida, e tinham sobrepeso 43 . Velásquez-Melendez et al 44 explicaram que quando comparadas as mulheres obesas, entre os diferentes níveis de IA (alcançados pela Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar), a IA moderada e leve apresentaram mais associação com a obesidade (OR=1,53; IC95%=1,22-1,93 e OR=1,22; IC95%=1,04-1,44, respectivamente).…”

Food insecurity and obesity in adults:What is the relationship? ABSTRACTObesity is a multifactorial disease that has, among other relevant issues, inadequate food. Food insecurity is proposed as the mismatch of supply in quality, quantity and diversity. Therefore, the aim of this study was that obesity and food insecurity are closely linked. Method: This study is a literature review. The works exhibited here have shown that women are more prone to develop obesity, as well as food insecurity. Some felt the question income as a variable of interest, and obtained correlation with obesity and food insecurity. Therefore, the conclusion was that there is an association between food insecurity and obesity, so that the increased supply of unhealthy foods and / or access to these foods can enlarge the increase in body weight, and lead to obesity frame.

“…Early estimates from a California-based sample of preschool-aged children, most of whom lived in farmworker families, reported that 37% of children were overweight or obese [10]. Subsequent studies of youth aged 2 years and older in Latino farmworker families have reported combined overweight/obesity rates of 47% [11] 49% [12] and 76% [13]. …”

Objective Document beliefs about the contribution of physical activity to preschool-aged children’s health held by Latino mothers in farmworker families, and delineate their perceived barriers or constraints that impose limits on preschool-aged children’s physical activity. Method Qualitative data obtained through semi-structured in-depth interviews (N=33) with mothers of preschool-aged children living in Latino farmworker families in North Carolina. Results Mothers universally agree that regular vigorous physical activity is good for preschool-aged children’s health, including obesity prevention. However, excessive physical activity can produce illnesses, as well as other physical and emotional problems, and should be limited. Mothers wanted their children to engage in more sedentary forms of activity because they believed it would benefit learning. Physical and chemical hazards in rural environments, distance to parks and play spaces, and lack of familiarity and concerns about neighbors constrained children’s physical activity. Conclusions Although physical activity is believed to be beneficial, strong cultural beliefs and real contextual barriers undermine preschool-aged Latino farmworker children’s level of physical activity.

Objective To describe time spent in sedentary and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) by children in Latino farmworker families; and delineate sources of variation in sedentary and MVPA. Method Data were from mother-child dyads (N = 248) in Latino farmworker households in North Carolina. Physical activity was assessed using accelerometers; mothers described their children’s characteristics and their physical and social environments. Results Children spent 6.2 hours/day sedentary (Median=369 minutes), and 6.0 minutes/day in MVPA. Children in Head Start spent more time sedentary, whereas children living where dogs roam freely were less sedentary. Children whose mothers limited screen time spent 2 more minutes in MVPA. Conclusions Preschool-aged Latino children in farmworker families are sedentary, engaging in very little MVPA.
