The detection rate of overweight obesity in boys increased from 17.26% (6 733/39 004) to 25.85% (10 452/40 427). The detection rate of overweight and obesity in girls increased from 10.54% (4 057/38 497) to 14.39% (5 535/38 474).@*Conclusion@#Guangzhou has stepped into one of the cities with double burden of malnutrition.
ABSTRACT
Determinar la asociación entre sobrepeso-obesidad y trastornos del estado de ánimo en adolescentes, específicamente depresión, ansiedad, baja autoestima y dismorfia corporal. Metodología: Diseño transversal comparativo en adolescentes de 12 a 14 años, se integraron dos grupos el primero con sobrepeso-obesidad y el segundo con normopeso. Los trastornos del estado de ánimo fueron evaluados con Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II, Escala de ansiedad de Hamilton, Escala de autoestima de Rosenberg y Cuestionario de forma corporal de Cooper. El análisis estadístico incluyó chi cuadrada y razón de momios. Resultados: Se encontró asociación de sobrepeso-obesidad con depresión RM 17,94 (IC 95%; 8,17-39,38), ansiedad RM 11,11 (IC 95%; 4,75-25,97), autoestima RM 8,40 (IC 95%; 4,08-17,24) y dismorfia corporal RM 9,64 (IC 95%; 2,14-43,17). Conclusión: Existe asociación entre sobrepeso-obesidad y trastornos del estado de ánimo en adolescentes(AU)
To determine the association between overweight-obesity and mood disorders in adolescents, specifically depression, anxiety, low self- esteem and body dysmorphism. Methodology: Comparative cross-sectional design in adolescents aged 12 to 14 years, two groups were integrated the first with overweight-obesity and the second with normal weight. Mood disorders were evaluated with Beck-II Depression Inventory, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Cooper Body Form Questionnaire. The statistical analysis included chi square and odds ratio. Results: Overweight-obesity association with depression was found in OR 17,94 (IC 95% 8,17-39,38), OR 11,11 anxiety (IC 95% 4,75-25,97), OR self-esteem 8,40 (IC 95% 4.08-17.24) and body dysmorphism OR 9.64 (IC 95% 2.14-43.17). Conclusion: There is an association between overweight-obesity and mood disorders in adolescents(AU)

his cross-sectional study aims to investigate food habits, socio-economic status and blood lipids profile in schoolchildren (10-11 years of age) living in a low-income area of Mexico (the city of Montemorelos), characterizing lipid concentrations among children obese and evaluating the impact of socio-economic factors and dietary habits on blood lipids profile of these children. Complete data were available for 156 children (78 boys and 78 girls), food habits and socio economic status were assessed using a questionnaire developed from the one previously used from the enKid study conducted on Spanish children. Food reported in the questionnaire was classified in four food groups (animal source food/legumes, grains/tubers, fruits/vegetables, fats/sweets), beverages were classified separately. Blood samples were analyzed to determine concentrations of: total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose. Children were found to eat fats and sweets more frequently than other food groups. The 59 children, found to be obese and overweight, presented significant higher blood lipid levels (except to glucose levels) than normal weight kids. Using random forests, we found out that food and beverage consumption plays a key role in influencing blood lipids profile in children overweight and obese. Given these observations, it's crucial to develop health care policies promoting healthy eating habits among schoolchildren taking into account the specific characteristics of this geographical area in Mexico(AU)
Este estudio transversal tiene como objetivo investigar los hábitos alimentarios, el nivel socioeconómico y el perfil de lípidos sanguíneos en niños en edad escolar que viven en una zona de bajos recursos en México, caracterizando las concentraciones de lípidos en niños obesos/sobrepeso y evaluar el impacto de los factores socioeconómicos y hábitos dietéticos en el perfil de lípidos de estos niños. Mediante un cuestionario utilizado previamente en el estudio enKid realizado con niños españoles lo realizaron en forma completa 156 niños (78 niños y 78 niñas), se evaluó los hábitos alimentarios y el estado socioeconómico. Los alimentos reportados en el cuestionario se clasifica en cuatro grupos de alimentos (alimentos fuente animal / legumbres, granos / tubérculos, frutas / verduras, grasas / dulces), las bebidas fueron clasificadas por separado. Se analizaron muestras de sangre para determinar las concentraciones de: colesterol total, LDL-colesterol, HDL-colesterol, triglicéridos, glucosa. Los 59 niños, obesos/sobrepeso, presentaron niveles de lípidos en sangre significativamente más altos que los niños de peso normal. Usando Selvas Aleatorias nos enteramos de que los alimentos y el consumo de bebidas juegan un rol clave para influir en el perfil de lípidos en la sangre en niños obesos/sobrepeso. Teniendo en cuenta estas observaciones, es crucial desarrollar políticas de salud que promueven hábitos alimenticios saludables entre los escolares, teniendo en cuenta las características específicas de esta área geográfica en México(AU)
