GATTI, R.R. Prevalence of overweight among adolescents at public and private schools in Guarapuava – PR. 2005. p.84 Masters Thesis – Ribeirao Preto College of Nursing, University of Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto. Nowadays, overweight is a serious public health problem, which has been considered as an epidemic in developed countries. This situation predisposes individuals to the risk of non-transmissible chronic diseases which, when developed during adolescence, constitute aggravating circumstances for perpetuation into adulthood. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of overweight in 386 male and female adolescents between 10 and 14 years old from two public and two private schools in Guarapuava-PR, Brazil. The analysis was based on weight, height and Body Mass Index data, considering age, gender, education network and sexual maturity. Prevalence rates amounted to 13.0% for overweight and 3.4% for obesity, with higher levels among boys than among girls. Practically half of the adolescents displayed signs of sexual maturity, 70.0% of whom suffered from overweight. However, overweight students were equally distributed in terms of sexual maturity. As to the origin of the school, students from the private network presented higher levels (16.2% for overweight and 3.8% for obesity) in comparison with those from the public network (10.0% overweight and 3.0% obesity). The high prevalence rates for overweight found in this study can evolve to obesity, which justifies the need for public policies that encourage changes in life habits involving physical exercise and healthier food habits.
