ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and concordance of excess weight (BMI) and body fat (fat %) in adolescents of both sexes from cities of Rio Branco-AC and Porto Velho-RO. This study evaluated 4,310 adolescents, 2,167 from Rio Branco and 2,143 from Porto Velho. No difference (p=0.46) for excess weight between adolescents from Rio Branco (34.8%) and Porto Velho (33.8%) was observed. Fat percentage was significantly higher (p<0.01) in adolescents from Porto Velho (59.8%) compared to those from Rio Branco (44.3%). In intra-pubertal and pubertal stages, moderate concordance was identified (p<0.01) and in pre-pubertal stage, substantial concordance was observed (p<0.01). Thus, the findings of this study point out the adequacy of screening and diagnosis of obesity and overweight, which will enable earlier approach and treatment of adolescents.
RESUMO
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a prevalência e a concordância de excesso de peso (IMC) e de gordura corporal (% gordura) em adolescentes de ambos os sexos das cidades de Rio Branco-AC e Porto Velho-RO. Participaram do estudo 4.310 adolescentes, sendo 2.167 de Rio Branco e 2.143 de Porto Velho. Não houve diferença (p=0,46) entre o excesso de peso nos adolescentes de Rio Branco (34.8%) e de Porto Velho (33.8%). O % gordura foi significativamente maior (p=<0,01) nos adolescentes de Porto Velho (59,8%) em relação aos de Rio Branco (44,3%). Nos estágios intra-púbere e púbere foram identificadas moderadas concordâncias (p=0,01) e no estádio pré-púbere foi observado substancial concordância (p=0,01). Assim, os achados do presente estudo apontam para a necessidade da adequação do rastreamento da obesidade e sobrepeso que possibilitará identificação mais precoce e tratamento dos adolescentes.
