0150/2019 - Desigualdades socioeconômicas associadas ao excesso de peso e sedentarismo em adolescentes Brasileiros. Socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of excess weight and sedentary behavior among Brazilian adolescents.
O objetivo desse estudo foi estimar a prevalência de excesso de peso e sedentarismo em escolares brasileiros na faixa etária de 13 a 17 anos, e investigar a magnitude das desigualdades socioeconômicas relacionadas a esses desfechos. Realizou-se um estudo transversal com base nos dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE) do ano 2015. As desigualdades foram avaliadas por meio dos Índices Absoluto e Relativo de Desigualdade. A prevalência de excesso de peso no Brasil foi 24,2%, variou de 20,7% na Região Nordeste a 27,8% na Região Sul. Já a prevalência de sedentarismo no Brasil foi 67,8%, variou de 61,8% na Região Norte a 70,3% na Região Sudeste. A associação direta e positiva entre melhores condições socioeconômicas e as prevalências de excesso de peso e sedentarismo indicam iniquidades em saúde existentes no Brasil. Os resultados do presente estudo apontam a necessidade de reestruturação e fortalecimento das políticas públicas voltadas aos adolescentes, que devem ter como diretrizes a promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis e a redução das iniquidades em saúde.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of overweight and sedentary among Brazilian schoolchildren aged 13 to 17 years and investigate the magnitude of the socioeconomic inequalities related to these outcomes. A cross-sectional study was carried out based on datathe National School Health Survey (PeNSE) conducted in 2015. Inequalities were evaluated using the Absolute and Relative Index of inequality. The prevalence of overweight in Brazil was 24.2%, ranging20.7% in the Northeast Region to 27.8% in the Southern Region. The prevalence of sedentary lifestyle in Brazil was 67.8%, ranging61.8 % in the North Region to 70.3% in the Southeast Region. The direct and positive association between better socioeconomic conditions and the prevalence of overweight and sedentary lifestyle indicate health inequities in Brazil. The results of the present study point to the need to restructure and strengthen public policies directed at adolescents, which should have as guidelines the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the reduction of health inequities.
