Obesity rates have increased markedly in Latin America, especially during the last 10-15 years, becoming a public health problem most countries. Prevalence of obesity among preschool children remains low, while schoolchildren it has considerably. is high adult population, women with less schooling. In developed populations, occurs more frequently poor; opposite societies, where households undergoing nutritional transition, underweight can coexist obesity. The important determinant factors...
To analyse the nutritional status component of nutrition transition in Chile relation to evolution obesity rates all age groups until 2005, comparing these with goals established by Ministry Health for period 2000-2010.A descriptive study which includes data on Chilean population categorised age. The originate from: (1) institutions administer programmes - National Board Day-Care Centres (JUNJI) and School Assistance Scholarships (JUNAEB); (2) Institute Statistics; (3) epidemiological...
In Chile, childhood obesity rates are high. The purpose of this article is to compare BMI growth characteristics normal (N), overweight (OW), and obese (OB) 5-year olds from 0 5 years explore the influence some prenatal factors on these patterns growth. study was done a retrospective cohort 1,089 with birth weight >2,500 g. Weight height were obtained records at nine occasions (0-36 months); 52 60 months, we measured them. At children classified as N, OW, OB. each age, z-score (BMI Z)...
To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-month multicomponent obesity prevention intervention. Setting. 9 elementary schools in Santiago, Chile. Subjects. 6-8 y old low-income children (N = 1474).Randomized controlled study; 5 intervention/4 control schools. We trained teachers to deliver nutrition contents and improve quality PE classes. determined % healthy snacks brought from home, children's knowledge, nutritional status, duration classes, time moderate/vigorous activity (MVA)....
We analyzed trends in height and BMI their interaction 6-year-old Chilean children over the last 15 years.We calculated for age z-score (HAZ), z-score, prevalence of obesity, underweight, stunting from cross-sectional national school-based annual population surveys 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996, 2000, 2002. Using mixed model analysis, we determined risk obesity according to time as odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence interval potential influence year study on z-score.Over period, increased by 2.8 cm...
Obesity prevalence among Chilean children is 19.4%. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a school-based obesity prevention programme.Non-randomized controlled study. intervention included activities in nutrition and physical activity, fully applied first year partially second one. Primary outcomes were BMI Z-score (BMIZ) prevalence; secondary waist circumference triceps skinfold thickness. Time effects assessed by changes BMI-related variables gender period (ANOVA Tukey...
Chile has experienced the nutritional transition due to both social and economic progress. As a consequence, higher rates of overweight obesity have been observed in children. In western countries, researchers tried determine pathways by which parents influence their children's eating behavior; up now findings inconsistent. The objective this study was evaluate cross-sectional retrospective relationship between maternal attitudes child-feeding practices weight status children who had subject...
Non-communicable chronic diseases are now a worldwide epidemic. Diet and physical activity throughout life among its main determinants. In countries undergoing the early stages of nutrition transition weight gain from birth to 2 years is related lean mass gain, while ponderal after age adiposity later diabetes CVD risk. Evidence developing more advanced limited. The growth patterns cohort Chilean children born in 2002 with normal who at 4 had high prevalence obesity risk factors have been...
Early puberty onset has been related to future chronic disease; however breast bud assessment in large scale population studies is difficult because it requires trained personnel. Thus our aim assess the validity of self and maternal detection, considering girl's body mass index (BMI) education.In 2010, 481 girls (mean age = 7.8) from Growth Obesity Chilean Cohort Study were evaluated by a nutritionist detection. In addition, girl(n 481) her mother(n 341) classified development after viewing...
Objective To assess the effect of pre‐pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and other maternal factors on timing adiposity rebound (AR). Methods In this study, 594 mothers (mothers who do not have diabetes underweight) from longitudinal Growth Obesity Chilean Cohort Study self‐reported their weights at beginning end pregnancies, heights were measured. Pre‐pregnancy BMI was categorized as normal weight, overweight, or obesity, GWG assessed according to Institute...
