Prevalence and trend of overweight, obesity and consumption of undesirable foods in schoolchildren in northern Mexico

Prevalence and trend of overweight, obesity and consumption of undesirable foods in schoolchildren in northern Mexico

Introduction. School snacks have increased consumption of industrialized products and a decrease in the intake of fresh food has been observed. Objective. Determine the prevalence and trend of overweight, obesity and consumption of undesirable foods in schoolchildren in northern Mexico. Materials and methods. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 468 children of both sexes aged 9 to 12 in public schools and anthropometric measurements of weight, height and waist circumference were made. The body mass index (BMI) Z score was used to diagnose nutritional status using the Anthro Plus software. Food consumption of schoolchildren was evaluated by means of a checklist for five consecutive days by direct observation of the food and beverages that schoolchildren took from home to consume during school hours. Results. Overweight (PBS) and obesity (OB) were found to increase during the pandemic, with higher PBS in girls (17.0%) and higher OB in boys (46.8%). About food intake, it was observed that during the pandemic consumption of undesirable foods increased in association with the BMI. Conclusions. Overweight and obesity increased during the pandemic, being more overweight in girls and obesity in boys. As for food intake it was noted that during the pandemic consumption of foods not specifically recommended in sugary drinks increased and was associated with BMI.

En los refrigerios escolares se ha incrementado el consumo de los productos industrializados y se ha observado una disminución en la ingesta de alimentos frescos. Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia y tendencia de sobrepeso, obesidad y consumo de alimentos no recomendables en escolares del norte de México. Materiales y métodos. Estudio descriptivo y transversal, realizado del año 2015 a 2022 en una muestra de 468 niños de ambos sexos de 9 a 12 años de escuelas públicas, se les realizó mediciones antropométricas de peso, estatura y circunferencia de cintura. Para diagnosticar el estado nutricional se utilizó el puntaje Z del índice de masa corporal (IMC) por medio del software Anthro Plus. El consumo alimentario de los escolares se evaluó por medio de una lista de cotejo durante cinco días consecutivos por observación directa los alimentos y bebidas que los escolares llevaron de casa para consumir durante el horario escolar. Resultados. Se encontró que el sobrepeso (SBP) y la obesidad (OB) aumentó durante la pandemia, siendo mayor el SBP en las niñas (17,0%) y mayor la OB en los niños (46,8%). En cuanto a la ingesta alimentaria se observó que durante la pandemia aumentó el consumo de alimentos no recomendables asociándose con el IMC. Conclusiones. El sobrepeso y la obesidad aumentó durante la pandemia, siendo mayor el sobrepeso en las niñas y mayor la obesidad en los niños. En cuanto a la ingesta alimentaria se observó que durante la pandemia el consumo de alimentos no recomendables específicamente en las bebidas azucaradas aumentó y se asoció con el IMC. Introducción.
