摘要：

Introduction: epidemiological data indicate that childhood obesity is increasing in Brazil and is identified as a risk factor for early development of chronic diseases. Obesity has been characterized by increased adipose tissue and body weight. Objective: to diagnose and compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren from public (EPU) and private (EPR) schools. Methods: anthropometrics variables (BMI and DOC [skin folds]) were evaluated in boys (n=91) and girls (n=109) between 8 and 10 years old. There was a higher prevalence of overweight in boys (19.6%) and girls (25.5%) of the EPR compared to boys (6.7%) and girls (8.1%) of the EPU. The obesity level was higher in boys (34.8%) and girls (31.9%) of the EPR compared to boys (6.7%) and girls (6.5%) of the EPU. Positive correlation was obtained between the variables BMI and % body fat in boys (r=0.82) and girls (r=0.85). Results: the results suggest that despite the increase in all social classes, overweight and obesity prevalence were more present in those with higher economic status, confirming therefore a socioeconomic relationship. This finding may lead to a health condition closest to the negative pole. Conclusion: the BMI analysis proved to be an index for efficient determination of overweight and obesity in children.
