Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate changes in children's Body mass index (BMI) measuring weight and height according to the parameters established by the World Health Organization at the beginning of the study and at the end of the study from the verification of a statistically significant variation. From the collected data, the anthropometric indices weight for age, height for age and BMI for age will be calculated in z-score and will be interpreted as recommended by the World Health Organization, where they will be considered adequate: weight for age > z-score -2 and z-score -2 and < z-score +1. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate changes in the lipid profile, insulinemia and glycemia of children from the verification of a statistically significant variation. Blood collection will be performed by venipuncture after a 12-hour fast, in a local clinical analysis laboratory with automated procedures. Values ??lower than 150 mg/dL for total cholesterol, lower than 100 mg/dL for LDL and higher than 45 mg/dL for HDL will be considered acceptable. For fasting blood glucose, values ??lower than 100 mg/dL will be considered acceptable. Fasting blood glucose values ??will also be used to calculate Peripheral Insulin Resistance (PIR) along with fasting insulinemia. The RPI will be evaluated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance index. The results will be interpreted based on the percentiles of the sample, where results above the 90th percentile will be considered with the presence of insulin resistance.;Evaluate changes in children's dietary practices that will be measured using the food frequency questionnaire developed and validated for schoolchildren in the Western Brazilian Amazon at the baseline and at the end of the study from the verification of a statistically significant variation | — |
