Resumo
Introdução

A obesidade infantil constitui, na actualidade, um dos mais sérios desafios de saúde pública, tendo atingindo níveis epidémicos em vários países do Mundo. A obesidade na infância e adolescência aumenta a probabilidade de obesidade na idade adulta assim como está associada a uma série de efeitos adversos em termos da saúde e do bem-estar das crianças e dos adolescentes. Como tal, a sua prevenção e o seu tratamento tornam-se prioritários.

Objectivo

Não estando definido um modelo único padrão no tratamento da obesidade infantil, pretende-se identificar e valorizar neste artigo os elementos essenciais da abordagem desta doença.

Material e métodos

Foram analisados maioritariamente estudos aleatorizados controlados que enfatizam importantes desenvolvimentos ao nível das intervenções no âmbito da alimentação, da actividade física, da mudança comportamental, do ambiente familiar e da participação da comunidade.

Conclusão

Concluiu-se que as intervenções em ambiente familiar de base comportamental que incorporam modificações ao nível da alimentação e da actividade física parecem ser as mais efectivas no controlo do peso corporal. As intervenções de base comunitária, apesar de ainda serem escassas, parecem assumir um eixo estratégico no combate a esta doença.

Abstract
Introduction

Childhood obesity represents one of the most serious public health challenges, as it has reached epidemic levels in several countries around the world. Obese children and adolescents are more likely to be obese in adulthood. In addition, childhood and adolescent obesity has adverse psychological, social and health consequences in childhood and later in life. Thus, the prevention, early identification and treatment of this disease should be a priority for the health sector.

Objective

Since there hasn’t been determined one single intervention model that can address and tackle childhood obesity, the aim of this review is to identify the key elements frequently used in the most common approaches to address childhood obesity.

Material and methods

The review included mostly randomised controlled trials which have been used to emphasise important developments and contributions of intervention programs concerning diet, physical activity and behaviour modification and also in family and community based programmes.

Conclusion

The conclusion was that the interventions used within the childhood obesity approach should be family based and should essentially lie upon behaviour modification regarding diet and physical activity. Interventions targeting a variety of population groups can have potent effects on reducing overweight prevalence and reverse trends particularly the one that takes action at community level.
