          Abstract

          Resumen La obesidad, el sobrepeso y, en general, los malos hábitos han aumentado en todo el mundo de manera alarmante en las últimas cuatro décadas. Y lo más preocupante es el aumento del número de niños y adolescentes con sobrepeso y obesidad. La obesidad infantil es un problema de salud pública mundial, y su asociación con otras enfermedades, tanto en la niñez como en la vida adulta, así como su elevada prevalencia, hacen que sea imprescindible una intervención precisa y a temprana edad desde diferentes ámbitos. El programa TAS (Tú y Alícia por la Salud) tiene como objetivo promover una alimentación saludable y una actividad física suficiente a través de la cocina y del ocio activo. Se realizó una intervención educativa en el aula, que se midió mediante encuestas alimentarias y el cuestionario Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents PAQ-A (antes y después) a 2.516 estudiantes de 13-14 años de 79 escuelas distribuidas en las 17 comunidades autónomas de España. En general, los adolescentes no cumplen con las recomendaciones alimentarias y de actividad física de la Sociedad Española de Nutrición Comunitaria (SENC) y de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), respectivamente. En la gran mayoría de los participantes, la ingesta de frutas y verduras fue menor de lo recomendado, mientras que el consumo de carne, bollería, pastelería, snacks y alimentos fritos fue excesivo. En cuanto a la actividad física, se observó una falta generalizada y una escasa dedicación a actividades no sedentarias. En conclusión, los adolescentes españoles presentan baja adherencia a las recomendaciones dadas por la SENC y por la OMS.

          Abstract Obesity, overweight and overall inadequate habits have alarmingly increased across the world over the past four decades. More worrisome is the increase in the number of obese children and adolescents. Obesity in childhood in a Public Health problem worldwide, and its association with other diseases, both in childhood and in adult life, as well as its high prevalence, makes it essential to develop early and precise intervention from different areas. The TAS program, (Tú y Alicia por la Salud-Alice and you for Health), aims to promote healthy eating and physical activity through cooking and active leisure. An educational intervention was carried out in the classroom, measured by food surveys and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents PAQ-A questionnaire (before and after) in 2,516 students aged 13 and 14 yrs. from 79 schools distributed in the 17 Autonomous Regions in Spain. Overall, adolescents do not comply with the dietary guidelines and recommendations for physical activity by the Spanish Society of Community Nutrition (SENC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), respectively. In the vast majority of the participants, intake of fruit and vegetables was less than recommended, while the consumption of meat, pastries, snacks and fried foods exceeded recommendations. As for physical activity, there was a generalized lack of attention and little dedication to non-sedentary activities. In conclusion, Spanish adolescents show low adherence to recommendations given by SENC and WHO.

          Global prevalence and trends of overweight and obesity among preschool children.

          Childhood obesity is associated with serious health problems and the risk of premature illness and death later in life. Monitoring related trends is important. The objective was to quantify the worldwide prevalence and trends of overweight and obesity among preschool children on the basis of the new World Health Organization standards. A total of 450 nationally representative cross-sectional surveys from 144 countries were analyzed. Overweight and obesity were defined as the proportion of preschool children with values >2 SDs and >3 SDs, respectively, from the World Health Organization growth standard median. Being "at risk of overweight" was defined as the proportion with values >1 SD and ≤2 SDs, respectively. Linear mixed-effects modeling was used to estimate the rates and numbers of affected children. In 2010, 43 million children (35 million in developing countries) were estimated to be overweight and obese; 92 million were at risk of overweight. The worldwide prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity increased from 4.2% (95% CI: 3.2%, 5.2%) in 1990 to 6.7% (95% CI: 5.6%, 7.7%) in 2010. This trend is expected to reach 9.1% (95% CI: 7.3%, 10.9%), or ≈60 million, in 2020. The estimated prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in Africa in 2010 was 8.5% (95% CI: 7.4%, 9.5%) and is expected to reach 12.7% (95% CI: 10.6%, 14.8%) in 2020. The prevalence is lower in Asia than in Africa (4.9% in 2010), but the number of affected children (18 million) is higher in Asia. Childhood overweight and obesity have increased dramatically since 1990. These findings confirm the need for effective interventions starting as early as infancy to reverse anticipated trends.

            Health-related quality of life in obese children and adolescents.

            This review addresses the effect of overweight and obese weight status on pediatric health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Web of Science, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, AMED and PubMed were searched for peer-reviewed studies in English reporting HRQOL and weight status in youth (<21 years), published before March 2008. Twenty-eight articles were identified. Regression of HRQOL against body mass index (BMI) using pooled data from 13 studies utilizing the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory identified an inverse relationship between BMI and pediatric HRQOL (r=-0.7, P=0.008), with impairments in physical and social functioning consistently reported. HRQOL seemed to improve with weight loss, but randomized controlled trials were few and lacked long-term follow-up. Little is known about the factors associated with reduced HRQOL among overweight or obese youth, although gender, age and obesity-related co-morbidities may play a role. Few studies have examined the differences in HRQOL between community and treatment-seeking samples. Pooled regressions suggest pediatric self-reported HRQOL can be predicted from parent proxy reports, although parents of obese youths tend to perceive worse HRQOL than children do about themselves. Thus, future research should include both pediatric and parent proxy perspectives.

              Decline in physical activity in black girls and white girls during adolescence.

              Physical activity declines during adolescence, but the underlying reasons remain unknown. We prospectively followed 1213 black girls and 1166 white girls enrolled in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study from the ages of 9 or 10 to the ages of 18 or 19 years. We used a validated questionnaire to measure leisure-time physical activity on the basis of metabolic equivalents (MET) for reported activities and their frequency in MET-times per week; a higher score indicated greater activity. The respective median activity scores for black girls and white girls were 27.3 and 30.8 MET-times per week at base line and declined to 0 and 11.0 by year 10 of the study (a 100 percent decline for black girls and a 64 percent decline for white girls, P<0.001). By the age of 16 or 17 years, 56 percent of the black girls and 31 percent of the white girls reported no habitual leisure-time activity. Lower levels of parental education were associated with greater decline in activity for white girls at both younger ages (P<0.001) and older ages (P=0.005); for black girls, this association was seen only at the older ages (P=0.04). Pregnancy was associated with decline in activity among black girls (P<0.001) but not among white girls, whereas cigarette smoking was associated with decline in activity among white girls (P<0.001). A higher body-mass index was associated with greater decline in activity among girls of both races (P< or =0.05). Substantial declines in physical activity occur during adolescence in girls and are greater in black girls than in white girls. Some determinants of this decline, such as higher body-mass index, pregnancy, and smoking, may be modifiable. Copyright 2002 Massachusetts Medical Society
