RESUMO
Objetivou-se descrever o estado nutricional dos adolescentes da 9ª série de escolas públicas e privadas das capitais brasileiras e sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas. Por meio de questionário autopreenchido, foram registradas informações sobre sexo, raça/cor, idade, escola pública/privada, macrorregião do país, escolaridade materna e posse de bens familiares. Peso e altura foram aferidos segundo procedimentos padronizados. A altura para idade e o Índice de Massa Corporal para idade foram avaliados segundo critérios da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Obtiveram-se medidas antropométricas de 58.971 adolescentes, sendo que 2,9 por cento apresentaram déficit estatural e 2,9 por cento magreza. O excesso de peso foi de 23,0 por cento e a obesidade de 7,3 por cento, sendo mais altos no Sul e no Sudeste do país. Déficits de altura e peso, excesso de peso e obesidade foram mais prevalentes nos meninos. Os déficits foram superiores nas escolas públicas, e o excesso de peso e a obesidade nas privadas. Adolescentes cujas mães eram de menor escolaridade ou de famílias mais pobres apresentaram maior déficit de altura; o inverso ocorreu com o excesso de peso e a obesidade. Prevalências de déficits, excesso de peso e obesidade ressaltam a necessidade de intervenções nutricionais direcionadas para esta fase da vida.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to describe the nutritional status of adolescents in the 9th year of public and private schools of the Brazilian capitals and its association with socio-demographic variables. By means of a self-completed questionnaire, information related to sex, race, age, public/private school, macro-region of the country, maternal education and family possessions were recorded. Measures of weight and height were measured according to standardized procedures. Height for age and body mass index for age was evaluated according to the World Health Organization reference. Anthropometric measurements of 58,971 adolescents were obtained, of which 2.9 percent were stunted and 2.9 percent underweight. There was 23.0 percent of overweight and 7.3 percent of obesity, which were higher in the South and Southeast regions. Deficits in height and weight, overweight and obesity were more prevalent in boys. The deficits were higher at public schools while overweight and obesity at private ones. Adolescents whose mothers were less educated or from poorer families had greater deficits in height and the reverse occurred with overweight and obesity. The findings about the deficits, overweight and obesity highlight the need for nutritional interventions designed to reach this stage of life.
