Abstract

The aim of the present study was to advance knowledge of the secular changes in the prevalence of excess weight (overweight and obesity) and body composition of children living in different localities of La Plata district (Buenos Aires province, Argentina) over the last two decades. For this purpose, anthropometric data and information on the socioeconomic and environmental context of residence of schoolchildren aged 4.0-12.9 years collected during 2005-2009 (Cohort 1, n = 1 233) and 2016-2019 (Cohort 2, n = 1 499) were analysed and compared. From a secular perspective, the current analysis showed that the socioeconomic and environmental conditions of families living in La Plata district have deteriorated in recent decades. In this context, child excess weight increased by 13% and body composition was altered, mainly as a result of an increase in fat mass, without observing changes in the muscle component.

拉普拉塔区（阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯）男孩和女孩的体重超标和身体成分变化--一项世俗视角的研究。

本研究旨在进一步了解拉普拉塔区（阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯省）不同地区儿童超重（超重和肥胖）发生率和身体成分在过去二十年间的长期变化。为此，我们分析并比较了 2005-2009 年（群组 1，n = 1 233）和 2016-2019 年（群组 2，n = 1 499）期间收集的 4.0-12.9 岁学龄儿童的人体测量数据以及居住地的社会经济和环境背景信息。从世俗的角度来看，当前的分析表明，近几十年来，拉普拉塔区家庭的社会经济和环境条件有所恶化。在这种情况下，儿童超重增加了 13%，身体成分也发生了变化，主要是脂肪量增加，而肌肉成分没有发生变化。
