Abstract
The study’s objective was to characterize the nutritional status of 3,254 Kaingáng Indians in
indigenous schools in Rio Grande do Sul State,
Brazil. This was a school-based study. Weight
(W), height (H), and waist circumference (WC)
were measured according to World Health Organization guidelines (1995). Children’s nutritional
status classification included H/A, W/A, and W/H
according to the National Center for Health Statistics (WHO, 1995) and H/A, W/A, and body mass
index/age (BMI/A) according to WHO (2006). Adolescents were classified for BMI/A (WHO, 1995
and 2006) and H/A (WHO, 2006). Adults were
classified for BMI (WHO, 1995) and WC (WHO,
2003). Adolescents represented 56% of the sample,
children 42.5%, adults 1.4%, and elderly 0.1%.
Prevalence rates for stunting were 15.1% (WHO,
1983) and 15.5% (WHO, 2006) in children and
19.9% in adolescents. Prevalence rates for overweight were 11% (WHO, 1983) and 5.7% (WHO,
2006) in children, 6.7% in adolescents, and 79.2%
in adults. 45.3% of adults were at increased risk
of metabolic diseases. A nutritional transition
was observed in the group, characterized by significant prevalence of stunting in children and
adolescents and prominent overweight in all age
groups
