简介：流行病学数据表明，巴西儿童肥胖症正在增加，并被确定为慢性病早期发展的一个风险因素。肥胖的特征在于脂肪组织和体重增加。目的：诊断和比较公立和私立学校学生超重和肥胖的患病率。方法：人体测量学变量（BMI和DOC [皮褶]）进行了评估的男孩（n=91）和女孩（n=109）之间的8和10岁。与EPU的男孩（6.7%）和女孩（8.1%）相比，EPR的男孩（19.6%）和女孩（25.5%）的超重率更高。与EPU的男孩（6.7%）和女孩（6.5%）相比，EPR的男孩（34.8%）和女孩（31.9%）的肥胖水平更高。BMI与体脂百分比之间存在正相关，男生r=0.82，女生r=0.85。结果如下：结果表明，尽管所有社会阶层的人数都在增加，但超重和肥胖的流行率更多地出现在经济地位较高的人中，因此证实了一种社会经济关系。这一发现可能导致最接近负极的健康状况。结论：BMI分析是判断儿童超重和肥胖的有效指标。
Introduction: epidemiological data indicate that childhood obesity is increasing in Brazil and is identified as a risk factor for early development of chronic diseases. Obesity has been characterized by increased adipose tissue and body weight. Objective: to diagnose and compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren from public (EPU) and private (EPR) schools. Methods: anthropometrics variables (BMI and DOC [skin folds]) were evaluated in boys (n=91) and girls (n=109) between 8 and 10 years old. There was a higher prevalence of overweight in boys (19.6%) and girls (25.5%) of the EPR compared to boys (6.7%) and girls (8.1%) of the EPU. The obesity level was higher in boys (34.8%) and girls (31.9%) of the EPR compared to boys (6.7%) and girls (6.5%) of the EPU. Positive correlation was obtained between the variables BMI and % body fat in boys (r=0.82) and girls (r=0.85). Results: the results suggest that despite the increase in all social classes, overweight and obesity prevalence were more present in those with higher economic status, confirming therefore a socioeconomic relationship. This finding may lead to a health condition closest to the negative pole. Conclusion: the BMI analysis proved to be an index for efficient determination of overweight and obesity in children.
