Comparative study on the body mass index between various groups of Mexa-se [move] program participants

The BMI of populations is one of the methods considered as easy to be applied and with low cost; in addition to that, it generates indexes to identify groups needing nutritional intervention.

description The BMI of populations is one of the methods considered as easy to be applied and with low cost; in addition to that, it generates indexes to identify groups needing nutritional intervention. This work purpose was to compare the body mass index (BMI) between subjects from various groups that practice physical activities on Unicamp's Mexa-se [Move] Program (2010 to 2016), in which 205 subjects were assessed, both genders and various age ranges, observing data such as weight, height, age and genders. The tests were carried out during this period, covering groups from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. In order to measure the body weight, a digital weighing scale HBF-214 (Omron) was used, for height, a stadiometer (WCS), calculating BMI through formula (kg)/height² (m²). In this study, the male gender was represented by 62 subjects and the female gender by 143 subjects. From 205 subjects (41.17%), they presented BMI ranging from 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m², rated as overweight; 33.95% were rated as obesity I; 18.36% average obesity II and 9.38% obesity III in the sum of 07 groups. In this work, a high prevalence of inviduals with overweight and obesity I was observed (75.12%). This information can orientate the initiative to prepare Nutritional Education campaigns through Cecom and Unicamp in order to promote actions to adopt healthy life habits, once there are already physical activity initiatives at the university.

O IMC de populações é um dos métodos considerado de fácil aplicação e baixo custo, além disso, gera indicadores para identificar grupos que necessitam de intervenção nutricional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar o índice de massa corporal (IMC) entre sujeitos de diversos grupos praticantes de atividades físicas do Programa Mexa-se Unicamp (anos de 2010 a 2016), onde foram avaliados 205 sujeitos, ambos os gêneros e diversas faixas etárias, observando dados como peso, altura, idade e gêneros. Os testes foram realizados durante este período abrangendo grupos das 8:00 as 9:00 e das 12:00 as 13:00 de 2ª, 4ª e 6ª feiras. Para a medida do peso corporal utilizou-se uma balança digital HBF-214 (Omron), a estatura um estadiômetro (WCS), calculando-se o IMC através da fórmula (kg)/altura² (m²). Neste estudo, o gênero masculino foi representado por 62 sujeitos e o gênero feminino por 143 sujeitos. Do total de 205 sujeitos (41,17%) apresentaram IMC na faixa de 25,0 a 29,9 kg/m², classificados como sobrepeso; 33,95% foram classificados como obesidade I; 18,36% obesidade II em média e 9,38% obesidade III na somatória dos 07 grupos. Neste trabalho foi constatada elevada prevalência de indivíduos com sobrepeso e obesidade I (75,12%). Estes dados podem nortear a iniciativa de se elaborar campanhas de Educação Nutricional através do Cecom e Unicamp a fim de promover ações para a adoção de hábitos de vida saudáveis, uma vez que já existem iniciativas de praticas de atividades físicas na universidade.
