Abstract
OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de obesidade de acordo com o nível socioeconômico e o sexo, em escolares do ensino fundamental, segundo dois critérios diagnósticos. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se um estudo transversal nas escolas públicas de ensino fundamental de Jundiaí, São Paulo, com 662 alunos de quinta a oitava séries, com idades entre dez e 18 anos, em 2005. A amostra foi selecionada por meio de procedimento sistemático, de acordo com a série e o sexo. Calculou-se o índice de massa corpórea (IMC). Os pontos de corte para classificação do estado nutricional foram escolhidos de acordo com dois critérios antropométricos: valores de IMC em percentil e valor numérico de IMC como ponto de corte. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de sobrepeso foi 17% quando se utilizou o critério de percentil e 13% ao usar o corte por valor numérico. A prevalência de obesidade foi 8 e 9%, respectivamente. Houve diferença quanto ao sexo, quando se utilizou a classificação por percentil, com maior percentual de magreza encontrado no sexo masculino. O sobrepeso e a obesidade foram mais observados em adolescentes de melhor condição socioeconômica. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade foi elevada, sendo maior nas classes mais favorecidas. A medida do IMC por percentil detectou maior número de adolescentes com sobrepeso e obesidade, comparada à classificação por valor numérico.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of obesity related to gender and socioeconomic level in students of public schools, according to two different nutritional criteria. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in public schools of the city of Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, and included 662 students with 10-18 years old that attended 5th-8th grades, in 2005. The sample was selected using systematic procedure, according to the student’s grade and gender. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated and cutoff points were selected for classification of nutritional state according to two anthropometrics criteria: values of BMI as percentiles and as sharp cutoff point. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight was 17% using the percentile criteria and 13% with the numerical cutoff. The frequency of obesity was 8 and 9%, respectively for both criteria. Difference between genders was found using the percentile criteria, with higher percentage of leanness in males. Overweight and obesity were more frequent among adolescents of better socioeconomic status. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of overweight and obesity were higher in students of better economic classes. The BMI percentiles detected a higher number of adolescents with overweight and obesity compared to the numerical cutoff.
