ABSTRACT
Background: The aim of this paper was to estimate
the adiposity trend in children from a public elementary
school in Guadalajara, Mexico, between 2007 and 2011.
Methods: Comparative study of two samples taken
transversely in 1432 schoolchildren aged 6-12 years.
Z-score of BMI and anthropometric indicators of arm
adiposity (triceps skinfold, fat area and arm fat index)
were calculated. Reference standards of the 2007-
WHO and Frisancho were used. Analysis: Chi-square
and Student t test.
Results: Adiposity decreased significantly in children
with normal weight (arm fat area Z-score -0.3 SD) overweight
and obesity (arm fat area and index -0.4 and
-0.3 z-scores respectively). An increase in the prevalence
of subjects with normal weight and thinness and
a decrease of overweight (4.6, -2.0 and -2.9 percentage
points respectively) was observed. Obesity prevalence
remained unchanged.
Conclusions: Decrease of adiposity in overweight and
obese children, reduction in the prevalence of thinness
and overweight and the increase in the proportion of
subjects with normal weight was observed during the
study period. These data probably reflect the nutritional
transition in Mexico.
