Resumo:
Este estudo analisou a prevalência e os fatores sociodemográficos associados à presença isolada e combinada de indicadores antropométricos elevados em crianças. Estudo descritivo com 2.035 crianças (6-11 anos de idade, 50,1% de meninas), selecionadas de forma aleatória em escolas de Colombo, Brasil. O Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), Circunferência da Cintura (CC) e Razão Cintura-Estatura (RCEst) foram classificadas conforme critérios de referência. As variáveis exploratórias foram idade, sexo, rede de ensino, turno e zona de moradia. A regressão logística binária foi utilizada (p<0,05). As prevalências de crianças com IMC, RCEst ou CC elevados foram 9,4% (intervalo de confiança [IC] de 95%: 3,3; 15,7), 8,7% (IC95%: 1,7; 15,9) e 4,4% (IC95%: 1,0; 7,9), respectivamente. A prevalência de um ou mais indicadores antropométricos elevados foi de 16,9% (IC95%: 5,4; 28,5). Crianças do sexo masculino (IMC elevado), mais novas (CC elevada) e da rede pública (IMC, CC ou RCEst elevados) tiveram maior odds ratio à presença isolada de indicadores antropométricos elevados. A rede pública e zona rural foram associadoa à presença combinada de indicadores antropométricos elevados. Em conclusão, o combate à obesidade infantil nesta população pode ser direcionado às crianças da zona rural e da rede pública.

Abstract:
This study analyzed the prevalence and sociodemographic factors associated to the isolated and combined presence of elevated anthropometric indicators among children. A cross-sectional study was performed with 2,035 children (aged 6-11 years, 50.1% of girls) who were randomly selected in schools from Colombo, Brazil. Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC) and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) were classified using reference values. Age, gender, type of school, shift, and residence area were potential risk factors. Binary logistic regression was used (p < 0.05). The prevalence of children with elevated BMI, WHtR or WC was 9.4% (confidence interval [CI] of 95%: 3.3; 15.7), 8.7% (CI95%: 1.7; 15.9) and 4.4% (CI95%: 1.0; 7.9) of children, respectively. The presence of one or more elevated anthropometric indicator was observed in 16.9% (CI95%: 5.4; 28.5) of children. Boys (elevated BMI), younger children (elevated WC) and children from public schools (elevated BMI, WC or WHtR) had higher odds ratio of having elevated anthropometric indicators. Public schools and rural areas were associated to the combined presence of elevated anthropometric indicators. In conclusion, children from public schools and rural areas can be focused in actions to combat childhood obesity in this population.
