Core Tip
Core tip: This is an observational cross-sectional study with 60 healthy preschool children and 56 mothers. Children were divided in overweight and non-overweight groups, as well as their mothers. There were 35 male children, mean age 4.44 ± 1.0 years old, 89% of all children were eutrophic, 87% sedentary. Body mass index/age and total cholesterol were higher in the overweight group. Mother’s age was 32.5 ± 7.1 years old, mostly married and employed, 86% of them were sedentary, 63% overweight. There was an association between overweight and obesity during preschool years and the correspondent mothers’ nutritional status of overweight and obesity. There was a positive correlation between food risk consumption associated with cardiovascular disease by children and mothers.
