ABSTRACT
The objective was to identify the prevalence of excess central adiposity and peripheral schoolchildren and its relationship with sedentary activities and physical activity level. Cross-sectional study was conducted with 524 elementary school student's city of Bauru (SP). Structured protocol was used, the PAQ-C and measured subscapular skinfolds thickness (PCS) and triciptal (TSF). There were descriptive analyses, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. The PCT and PCS rates were respectively 13.6% and 16.5% in boys and 15.4% and 12.6%. In girls the frequency above three times a week on the computer and its use for more than three hours if associated with elevated PCT, low level of physical activity was associated with elevated PCS in boys, low level of physical activity and use of computer and / or video games for more than three hours/day were associated with higher PCS in boys. The frequency and number of hours in sedentary and low physical activity are important predictors of adiposity among children...(AU)
RESUMO
O objetivo foi identificar a prevalência de excesso de adiposidade central e periférica em escolares e sua relação com atividades sedentárias e nível de atividade física. Realizou-se estudo transversal com 524 alunos do ensino fundamental municipal de Bauru (SP). Utilizou-se protocolo estruturado, o PAQ-C e mensuradas as pregas cutâneas subescapular (PCS) e tricipital (PCT). Realizaram-se análise descritiva, bivariada e multivariada por regressão logística. As PCT e PCS elevadas foram, respectivamente, de 13,6% e 16,5% nos meninos e 15,4% e 12,6% nas meninas; nas meninas a freqüência acima de três vezes por semana no computador e o seu uso por mais de 3 horas se associaram com as PCT elevadas; baixo nível de atividade física associou-se com as PCS elevadas nos meninos; o uso de computador e/ou videogame por mais de três horas/dia se associaram com as PCS elevadas nos meninos. A frequência e número de horas em atividades sedentárias e baixo nível de atividade física são importantes preditores de adiposidade nos escolares...(AU)
