Introdução: A prevalência de obesidade em adultos e em crianças tem vindo a aumentar, apresentando a idade pré-escolar especial relevância na adoção de hábitos alimentares. Objetivos: Avaliar o valor energético das refeições realizadas no jardim de infância e relacioná-las com o sexo e o meio de residência da criança. Metodologia: Recolha de dados antropométricos e avaliação da ingestão dietética das crianças através de um questionário e pesagem dos alimentos consumidos no jardim de infância. Resultados: Das 153 crianças avaliadas, verificou-se uma prevalência de excesso de peso/obesidade e obesidade de 5,9% e de 6,5% respetivamente, apresentando os rapazes e as crianças do meio rural valores mais elevados, bem como uma maior percentagem do valor energético ingerido nas refeições realizadas nos jardins de infância. Em 83% das crianças verificou-se um consumo energético superior às necessidades energéticas. Conclusões: Neste estudo verificámos um consumo energético superior face às necessidades nas refeições realizadas no jardim de infância e no total das refeições realizadas ao longo do dia. Verificámos ainda a existência de diferenças na seleção de alimentos entre os sexos e meio de residência nas refeições intercalares.
ABSTRACT - Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in adults and children has been increasing, the pre-school age has special relevance in the adoption of eating habits. Objectives: Evaluate the energetic value of meals eaten in the kindergarten and relate them to nutritional status, gender and residence of the child. Methodology: Anthropometric data collection and assessment of dietary intake of children through a questionnaire and weighing the food consumed in the kindergarten. Results: Of the 153 children studied, there was a prevalence of overweight/obesity and obesity of 5.9% and 6.5% respectively, showing boys and children from rural areas higher values as well as a higher percentage of ingested energy in meals eaten in the kindergarten. In 83% of children, there was a higher energy consumption for energy needs. Conclusion: In this study, we found a higher energy consumption to the needs in the meals eaten in the kindergarten for children and a total of meals eaten throughout the day. We also verified the existence of differences in food selection by gender and residence of the child in the small meals.
