Screen habits and overweight in elementary school students of both sex residents in the city of Itaquaquecetuba-SP
Abstract
Introduction: Studies indicate that excessive screen time (ST) can reduce the levels of physical activity of the child and youth population and such a reduction can contribute to overweight. However, little is known if other screen habits (SH) can be predictors of this condition. Objective: To assess whether excess weight is associated with SH in elementary school students of both sexes residing in the city of Itaquaquecetuba-SP. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 317 students (male: n= 174) aged between 10 and 16 years. The body mass index (BMI) was used to classify the nutritional status and SH were verified using a previously structured questionnaire. Results: A high daily ST was evidenced, especially in female students (p<0.01) and a prevalence of excess weight in more than 25% of students of both sexes. The use of video games was significantly higher among males (p<0.01) and the SH of communication was more present among female students (p<0.01). None of the investigated SH variables was a predictor of excess weight in students of both sexes (p>0.05). Conclusion: There are significant differences in the SH of students of both sexes, but there was no evidence of a significant association between these variables and excess weight.
