Obesidade Infantil: Estudo em Crianças num ATL

Abstract

A obesidade infantil apresenta uma tendência crescente, devido essencialmente aos maus hábitos alimentares e ao sedentarismo. Por isso, é cada vez mais relevante determinar as causas e consequências deste fenómeno. Procede-se ao enquadramento, em termos teóricos, do conceito de obesidade infantil e da sua relação com os fatores de risco/proteção, como os hábitos alimentares, a atividade física e o sedentarismo, procurando fazer a ligação entre o que se passa em casa e na escola. Define-se brevemente o enquadramento metodológico, a partir da caracterização da população em estudo – crianças que frequentam Atividade de Ocupação de Tempo Livre (ATL) –, com idades entre os 6 e os 10 anos, até à definição de objetivos e hipóteses a analisar, bem como o instrumento de recolha de informação apropriado para atingir esses objectivos. A análise dos dados recolhidos permite estudar a relação entre os hábitos alimentares, a atividade física e o sedentarismo com a obesidade infantil observada na amostra, verificando-se que as crianças com obesidade almoçam mais na escola e menos em casa, vão mais a locais com fast-food, comem menos vegetais e menos vezes sopa, mas também consomem menos doces; não há uma relação entre os hábitos de atividade física e a obesidade, e, quanto à relação entre as atividades sedentárias e a obesidade, observa-se o contrário do esperado, sendo a prática das atividades sedentárias inferior para as crianças que apresentam níveis de obesidade.

Childhood obesity shows an upward trend, mainly due to poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, it is increasingly important to determine the causes and consequences of this phenomenon. The theoretical framework is presented, of the concept of childhood obesity and its related risk/ protective factors, as dietary habits, physical activity and sedentary lifestyle, trying to make the connection between what happens at home and in school. The methodological framework is briefly defined, based on the characterization of the population under study – children attending activity leisure activities (ATL) – aged 6 to 10 years, until the definition of objectives and hypotheses to examine, as well as the tool for collecting appropriate information to achieve these objectives. The analysis of collected data allows the study of the relationship between eating habits, physical activity and sedentary lifestyle in childhood obesity observed in the sample, being verified that children with obesity have lunch more often in school and less at home, go more often to fast food restaurants, eat less vegetables and less soup, but also consume less sweets, there is no relationship between physical activity habits and obesity, and about the relationship between sedentary activities and obesity, the opposite of the expected occurs, being the practice of sedentary activities less frequent for children who have obesity levels.
