Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity amongst elementary schoolchildren in the municipality of Feliz, Rio Grande do Sul state, in 2010. Methods: An anthropometric assessment, which included weight and height, was carried out through a school census including 633 6 to 10-years-old students. The cut-off points proposed by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2000 were used for classification of overweight and obesity, defining overweight as a body mass index (BMI) between the 85 and less than 95 percentile, and obesity as a BMI above the 95 percentile. Results: Obesity prevalence was found in 15.9% and overweight in 15.4% of the children in the group; therefore, 31.4% of the schoolchildren surveyed were above the expected weight and height for their age when both conditions were combined. Obesity prevalence was higher in children aged 6 to 7 years old when compared with children aged 9 to 10 years old, 23.3% and 8.23% (p<0.001), respectively. Boys and girls did not present statistically significant difference in prevalence of overweight (15.4% and 15.2%) and obesity (16.1% and 15.2%), respectively. Regarding geographical location, the boys from schools in the countryside of the municipality presented a higher prevalence of obesity when compared with the boys from schools in the urban area, 22.7% and 13.6% (p=0.036), respectively. Conclusion: Obesity was significantly more prevalent in children aged 6 to 7 years-old and in boys enrolled in schools in the rural area of the municipality.
