The present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of childhood obesity in Brazil and compare it between boys and girls. This systematic review was conducted and reported according to the guidelines outlined in the PRISMA statement. A systematic search of electronic databases, including PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO, was performed in November 2021. Studies that met the following criteria were included: (i) original quantitative studies regardless of their design; (ii) childhood obesity was clearly defined; (iii) prevalence of childhood obesity was reported or it was possible to extract from tables or figures in the text; and (iv) eligible population included children under 12 years of age. A total of 112 articles were included in the systematic review. The prevalence of childhood obesity in Brazil was of 12.2%, being 10.8% in girls and 12.3% in boys. In addition, wide heterogeneity in the childhood obesity prevalence was observed between the states, since it was 2.6% in Pará, while it was 15.8% in Rondônia. Thus, the importance of urgently implementing measures to prevent and treat childhood obesity should be emphasized aiming to reduce obese children and adolescents and future health problems in adult life resulting from this cardiovascular risk factor.
本研究旨在分析巴西儿童肥胖症的患病率，并比较男孩和女孩之间的差异。本系统评价是根据PRISMA声明中概述的指南进行并报告的。2021年11月对包括PubMed、LILACS和SciELO在内的电子数据库进行了系统检索。纳入符合以下标准的研究：（i）无论设计如何的原始定量研究；（ii）儿童肥胖症有明确的定义；（iii）报告了儿童肥胖症的患病率，或者可以从文本中的表格或图表中提取；（iv）符合条件的人群包括12岁以下的儿童。本系统评价共纳入112篇文章。巴西儿童肥胖症的患病率为12.2%，女孩为10.8%，男孩为12.3%。此外，各州之间儿童肥胖症患病率存在很大差异，帕拉州为2.6%，而朗多尼亚州为15.8%。因此，应强调迫切采取措施预防和治疗儿童肥胖症的重要性，旨在减少肥胖儿童和青少年以及成年后因这种心血管危险因素导致的未来健康问题。
