RESUMO

Introdução:

A obesidade e o sobrepeso são definidos como acúmulo anormal de gordura corporal. O sobrepeso na idade infantil pode trazer sérias implicações para a saúde, desde maior probabilidade de obesidade na vida adulta, incapacidade e ate mortes prematuras.

Objetivo:

verificar a ocorrência de sobrepeso e obesidade infantil entre crianças em idade escolar. Sujeitos e

Métodos:

Estudo de caráter transversal, analítico e quantitativo, com coleta de dados realizada em abril e maio de 2016 em duas escolas da rede privada de Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. A amostra foi composta por 246 crianças matriculadas do primeiro ao sexto ano do ensino fundamental com idade de 6 a 12 anos. Foram coletadas variáveis antropométricas considerando-se o peso e a altura e, a partir desses, foi calculado o Índice de Massa Corporal, sendo utilizada a classificação do Escore Z. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados estatisticamente, comparando-se a classificação do Escore Z por gênero e idade.

Resultados:

Da amostra obtida (n=246), 142 (57,7%) crianças pertenciam ao sexo feminino e 104 (42,3%), ao masculino, das quais 37 e 31, respectivamente, estavam acima do peso. Dentre as 110 crianças com idades entre 6 e 10 anos, 26 (23,6%) apresentaram-se acima do peso. Na faixa etária de 10 a 12 anos, a maioria das crianças estavam eutróficas (64,7%).

Conclusão:

Ainda que a maioria do universo avaliado tenha sido composta por eutrofismo, é perceptível a relevante taxa de sobrepeso/obesidade entre essas crianças. O reconhecimento dos fatores relacionados ao desenvolvimento desse acúmulo de gordura nas crianças possibilita intervir precocemente, evitando suas repercussões a curto e longo prazo (AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Obesity and overweight are defined as abnormal accumulation of body fat. Being overweight at child age can have serious health implications, ranging from greater likelihood of obesity and incapacity in adult life to premature deaths.

Objective:

to verify the occurrence of overweight and childhood obesity among school-aged children. Subjects and

Methods:

Cross - sectional, analytical and quantitative study, with data collection conducted in April and May of 2016 in two private schools in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. The sample consisted of 246 children enrolled from the first to sixth year of elementary education aged 6 to 12 years. Anthropometric variables were collected considering weight and height, and from these, the Body Mass Index was calculated, using the Z score. The data were tabulated and statistically analyzed, comparing the Z score By gender and age

Results:

From the sample obtained (n = 246), 142 (57.7%) children were females and 104 (42.3%) were males, of whom 37 and 31, respectively, were overweight. Among the 110 children aged 6 to 10 years, 26 (23.6%) were overweight. In the age group of 10 to 12 years, the majority of the children were eutrophic (64.7%).

Conclusion:

Although the majority of the evaluated universe was composed by eutrophism, the relevant rate of overweight / obesity among these children is perceptible. The recognition of the factors related to the development of this accumulation of fat in children makes it possible to intervene early, avoiding its repercussions in the short and long term (AU)
