OBJECTIVE: Determine the increase in neck circumference and its association with increased body mass index school from six to 12 years in Tabasco, Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An observational, analytical, transversal and prospective implementing neck circumference for nutritional assessment in a population of primary school Francisco Gálvez Gálvez in Macuspana, Tabasco, Mexico in October 2015, through a non probabilistic convenience sampling was performed. both sexes, with Mexican nationality, which will have included approval of the tutor. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23® program, using the Student t test, accepting an association of variables with p≤0.05. RESULTS: They measure 248 schools, 128 were male (52%) and 120 female (48%) were performed. The circumference of the neck overweight group was 30.9 ± 2.82 cm of finding significant increase in this population compared with suitable 27.63 ± 2.33 weight cm (p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: Overweight in school tend to show increased neck circumference compared to those with normal weight [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): ANTECEDENTES: en la población infantil el sobrepeso y la obesidad suelen diagnosticarse de acuerdo con el índice de masa corporal (IMC), donde la prevalencia e incidencia siguen sin modificarse. OBJETIVO: determinar, en escolares de 6 a 12 años de edad de la escuela primaria Francisco Gálvez Gálvez de Macuspana, Tabasco, México, el aumento de la circunferencia de cuello y su asociación con el incremento del índice de masa corporal. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio observacional, analítico, trasversal y prospectivo efectuado en octubre de 2015, consistente en la medición de la circunferencia del cuello para valoración nutricional de una población de escolares, mediante un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se incluyeron escolares de uno y otro sexo, de nacionalidad mexicana, que contaran con aprobación del tutor. Los datos se analizaron en el programa SPSS, versión 23®, mediante la prueba t de Student, con asociación de variables de p ≤ 0.05. RESULTADOS: se efectuaron mediciones en 248 escolares: 128 de sexo masculino (52%) y 120 del femenino (48%). La circunferencia del cuello del grupo con sobrepeso fue de 30.9 ± 2.82 cm con aumento significativo de éste en comparación con la población con peso adecuado y circunferencia de 27.63 ± 2.33 cm (p=0.000). CONCLUSIONES: los escolares con sobrepeso tendieron a mostrar aumento de la circunferencia del cuello en comparación con quienes tenían peso normal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
