Abstract:

This study emerged from the need to know epidemiological aspects to gear a physical activity policy with indigenous ethnic groups. Although infectious diseases are still the main causes of suffering in these populations, chronic diseases have become evident due to the process of epidemiological / nutritional change on indigenous groups subject to the reservation policy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of aborigines belonging to two ethnic groups of Paraná State. Anthropometric data were collected on 178 adults belonging to indigenous ethnic groups Kaingang (n = 117) and Guarani (n = 61). The prevalence of overweight in Guarani and Kaingang adults was 32.3 and 41.0%, respectively, detecting prevalence of obesity in the order of 3.2% among the Guarani aborigines and 12.8% for the Kaingang ethnicity. Anthropometric changes observed among the Guarani and Kaingang aborigines of Paraná are increasingly worrying according some studies. Thus, the results of this study reinforce the need for integrated actions such as the nutritional guidance and physical activity during leisure time for the promotion of the health of these populations.
