| dc.description.abstract | Childhood obesity is a consequence of environments that disrupt the balance of energy intake and energy expenditure. Obesogenic environments consist of social norms and environmental factors that facilitate unhealthy behaviors around diet and physical activity. Nutritional knowledge and physical activity are cornerstones of every obesity treatment. The aims are to understand and compare how nutritional knowledge and physical activily panerns occur in children and adolescents, and if there's any differences by gender. Methods Sample comprised 467 children and adolescents, 237 boys. PA was measured using Actigraph accelerometers (GTSXsl^ Participants were instructed to use the accelerometer, according to standard procedures, and data analyzed using the recommended guidelines (Evenson et al, 2008) Nutritional Knowledge INKI was assessed using the General Nutrition Questionnaire for Portuguese Adolescent, and results presented as a Final Nutritional Score, in accordance with standard procedures (Ferro-Lebres, V, Ribeiro, J, Moreira, P, 2014). Height, weight body mass index were also assessed. Univariate Analysis of Variance-GLM was used to compare genders ad|usted to different school leveis of the studente, using SPSS. Results Our results present higher (p<0,05| nutritional scores for"girls (67,11 than boys (63,6 scorel. Opposed to these results boys los expectedl significantly present higher amounts of moderate to vigorous PA compared to girls 171,6 min. /day vs 42,3 min. /day; p<0, 01|. Additionally, we have 14,7% overweight/obese girls and 17,4% overweight/obese boys. Discussion Other studies have obsen/ed similar results regarding MVPA in boys and girls, but the NK about diet and nutritïon is also crucial for the treatment ond prevention of obesity in chiidren. Therefore ifs important to understand if higher scores in NK would lead to better nutritional practices; would it be possible that inaeasing studenfs NK about food contents regarding different nutrients could improve their daily practices. Do children and adolescents that have better NK behave differently regarding PA practices? | pt_PT |
