Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the nutritional status and lipid profile of young children from an urban Brazilian region.

METHODS

Cross-sectional study involving a representative sample of 472 children aged 5-8 years from Jundiai city. The nutritional status was assessed by the body mass index for age. Total cholesterol and fractions (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol) and triglycerides concentrations were determined by automated enzymatic methods. The results were analyzed by the student t-test and Fisher exact test.

RESULTS

Overweight/obesity was observed in 22% of the children and thinness in 3.2%. Girls presented a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity (24.0%) and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (22.8%) compared with boys (19.7% and 10.6%), respectively (p < 0.001). The prevalence of children with elevated and borderline total cholesterol was 32.8% and 26.7%, respectively, although 82.8% had desirable levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

CONCLUSION

The prevalence of overweight/obesity and dyslipidaemia observed in these children is a matter of concern considering the age group evaluated.

摘要

目的

评估巴西一城市地区幼儿的营养状况和血脂状况。

方法

这是一项涉及 472 名 5-8 岁儿童的横断研究，这些儿童来自容迪亚伊市。通过年龄别体重指数评估营养状况。通过自动酶法测定总胆固醇及其各组分（低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇）和甘油三酯浓度。采用学生 t 检验和 Fisher 确切检验对结果进行分析。

结果

22%的儿童超重/肥胖，3.2%的儿童消瘦。与男孩相比，女孩超重/肥胖的发生率更高（分别为 24.0%和 19.7%），高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平更低（分别为 22.8%和 10.6%）（p<0.001）。总胆固醇升高和边缘升高的儿童比例分别为 32.8%和 26.7%，尽管 82.8%的儿童具有理想的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平。
