Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a variation in the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the children verified by calculating the body weight measured on a portable electronic scale (Tanita BC-558) and height measured in duplicate, using a portable anthropometer, brand Altura Exata . Both measures will be measured with the individual evaluated, barefoot, wearing light clothes, without hair ornaments, with arms extended at the side of the body, positioned by the horizontal plane of Frankfurt. The BMI variation will be evaluated through the classification of the nutritional status based on the BMI/Age values, in z-scores, using the new curves of the World Health Organization (WHO, 2007) with the use of the WHO-Anthro software Plus 2007 (WHO, 2007). The values ??obtained will be classified according to the cutoff points recommended by the WHO for children over 5 years of age, being underweight: below –2Z; eutrophic: between –2 and +1Z; overweight: between +1 and +2Z; obesity between +2Z and +3Z and severe obesity above 3Z of the reference median. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a variation in the blood pressure of the child and the guardian that will be measured with an electronic and digital device Omron® Hem 742, previously validated. Before taking the measurement, it will be checked that the child and the adult do not have a full bladder, have not ingested medication and/or coffee, have not eaten up to 30 minutes before the procedure and/or practiced physical exercises up to 1 hour before. The measurement will be performed on the right arm, at the same level as the heart, resting on a table with a flat surface, with the palm of the hand facing upwards and the elbow slightly flexed. The individual must be seated, with feet in contact with the floor or platform with a flat surface and remain in that position for 5 minutes, at rest, before the measurement. 2 BP measurements will be taken, with a minimum interval of 2 minutes, and the average of the 2 measurements will be calculated. If the difference between the 2 measurements is greater than or equal to 5 mmHg, 3 new measurements will be taken.;It is expected to find a variation in the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the responsible adult verified by calculating the body weight measured on a portable electronic scale (Tanita BC-558) and height measured in duplicate, using a portable anthropometer, Altura brand Exactly. Both measures will be measured with the individual evaluated, barefoot, wearing light clothes, without hair ornaments, with arms extended at the side of the body, positioned by the horizontal plane of Frankfurt. The BMI variation will be evaluated through the classification of the nutritional status based on the BMI values ??recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2007).;It is expected to find variation in the waist circumference (WC) of the child and the responsible adult, which will be measured using a flexible and inelastic measuring tape, with a width of 150 cm and variation of 0.1 mm, placed horizontally at the midpoint between the border bot | — |
