The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation of socioeconomic, dietary, and anthropometric-nutritional variables of parents and their children to overweight (including obesity) in schoolchildren in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. This is a transversal study conducted on 4,964, 6 to 10-year-old schoolchildren registered in 345 Santa Catarina elementary schools. The following data were acquired: the children's current weight and height, birth weight and length, duration of breastfeeding, age at which water, herbal tea and other foods were introduced to their diet; parental income, education level, age, weight and height were also obtained. The prevalence of overweight and obese children were estimated by point and by interval with a 95% confidence; prevalence rates were obtained based on the Poisson model. An hierarchical approach was used, in which variables were adjusted within blocks and included in the model when they presented p < 0.05 at the outcome (overweight including obesity). The results indicate that 47.8% of the subjects were male. The prevalence of overweight and obese students was 15.4% (C195%: 14.4%-16.5%) and 6.1% (C195%: 5.4%-6.7%) respectively and were statistically similar among sexes and age ranges. BMI values were higher in males and among older children (p < 0.05). After adjustment within and among blocks, the variables per capita household income and parents' BMI values remained associated with overweight (including obesity). Overweight (including obesity) in schoolchildren is associated with a higher per capita household income and parental overweight and obesity.
本研究的目的是确定巴西圣卡塔琳娜州学童的父母的社会经济、饮食和人体测量学 - 营养变量与超重（包括肥胖）之间的相关性。这是一项横断面研究，对圣卡塔琳娜州345所小学登记的4964名6至10岁学童进行。收集了以下数据：儿童目前的体重和身高、出生体重和身长、母乳喂养持续时间、开始饮用白开水、凉茶和引入其他食物的年龄；还获取了父母的收入、教育水平、年龄、体重和身高。通过点估计和95%置信区间估计超重和肥胖儿童的患病率；患病率基于泊松模型获得。采用分层方法，其中变量在组内进行调整，当它们在结果（超重包括肥胖）上呈现p<0.05时纳入模型。结果表明，47.8%的受试者为男性。超重和肥胖学生的患病率分别为15.4%（95%置信区间：14.4%-16.5%）和6.1%（95%置信区间：5.4%-6.7%），在性别和年龄范围内在统计学上相似。男性和年龄较大的儿童的BMI值较高（p<0.05）。在组内和组间调整后，人均家庭收入和父母的BMI值仍然与超重（包括肥胖）相关。学童超重（包括肥胖）与较高的人均家庭收入以及父母超重和肥胖有关。
