Abstract(s)
OBJECTIVO: Rever a temática da obesidade infantil, incluindo aspectos do seu
diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção.
FONTES DOS DADOS: Foi realizada uma pesquisa de artigos científicos através das
seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, MEDLINE, HighWire Press e SciELO. As
palavras-chave utilizadas foram: "childhood obesity" e também combinações junto a
"treatment", "prevention" e "consequence". Dentre os artigos provenientes da busca
incluíam-se artigos de revisão, estudos observacionais, ensaios clínicos e posições de
consenso. Percebida a relevância, também se pesquisou directamente as referências
indicadas. O período de colheita de dados decorreu de Janeiro a Maio de 2008.
SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: Foram encontrados alguns trabalhos de prevalência em
Portugal. A obesidade infantil é um grave problema de saúde pública tanto a nível
nacional, como a nível europeu e mundial. Trata-se de uma patologia de etiologia
multifactorial e que exige uma abordagem multidisciplinar por parte dos profissionais
de saúde.
CONCLUSÕES: Deve-se prevenir a obesidade infantil com medidas adequadas de
prescrição de dieta na infância desde o nascimento, actividades físicas adequadas,
para além de se estudar mais acerca de programas de educação que possam ser
aplicados ou que estejam a ser implementados ao nível dos cuidados de saúde
primários e nas escolas.

Keywords utilized were: “childhood obesity” and a variety of combinations of this term with “treatment”, “prevention” and “consequence”. The search returned papers including review articles, observational studies, clinical trials and consensus statements. Bibliographical references in these articles were also investigated if it was perceived that they were relevant. Data was collected from January to May of 2008. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS: Different Portuguese prevalence studies were found. Childhood obesity is a major problem in our country, through all Europe and worldwide. It has a multifactor etiology that demands a multidisciplinar approach by health care workers.
