MHSALUD121182019-11-21T14:42:22Z Analysis of Overweight and Obesity, Levels of Physical Activity, and Self-Esteem in School Children of San Pedro Sula, Honduras Análisis de sobrepeso y obesidad, niveles de actividad física y autoestima en escolares de San Pedro Sula, Honduras Vasquez-Bonilla, Aldo Alfonso Zelaya-Paz, Constantino García-Aguilar, Jaime Overweight and Obesity Physical Activity Self-esteem Schoolchildren sobrepeso y obesidad actividad física autoestima escolares The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of overweight, obesity, physical activity levels, and self-esteem of the school children population of San Pedro Sula. The sample was 825 children aged 9-13 years, which were divided into 416 girls and 409 boys. Measurements of BMI (kg/H^2), Physical Activity level (PAQ-C) and Self-esteem (LAWSEQ) were made. A factorial analysis (ANOVA) was performed to observe differences between groups and the Pearson correlation for the study of the relationship of variables with 95% confidence intervals. It was found that 79.8% are in a healthy weight state; 14.8% in overweight and obesity, and 5.3% in malnutrition. It was also found that a moderate level of physical activity predominates in most of the children and a low self-esteem level in 46.9% and average self-esteem of 50.5%. Another finding was that the level of physical activity has a highly positive correlation with sex, being higher in boys than in girls; also physical activity has a very high positive correlation (r = 0.81, p = 0.001) with self-esteem. Our results indicate that children in Honduras show a greater practice of physical activity by children than that of girls. In addition, it was found that a higher level of physical activity could be associated with better self-esteem in children. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la prevalencia de sobrepeso, obesidad, niveles de actividad física y autoestima de la población escolar de San Pedro Sula. La muestra fue de 825 escolares con edades entre 9-13 años, los cuales fueron divididos en 416 mujeres y 409 hombres. Se realizaron mediciones del IMC (Kg/H^2), nivel de actividad física (PAQ-C) y autoestima (LAWSEQ). Se realizó un análisis factorial (ANOVA) para observar diferencias entre grupos y la correlación de Pearson para el estudio de relación de variables con intervalos de confianza del 95 %. Se encontró que el 79.8 % se encuentra en un estado de peso saludable; un 14.8 % en sobrepeso y obesidad y un 5.3 % en desnutrición, un nivel de actividad física moderado predomina en la mayoría de escolares, un nivel de autoestima bajo en 46.9 % y autoestima promedio de 50.5 %; también se mostró que el nivel de actividad física tiene correlación alta positiva con el sexo, siendo mayor en los escolares hombres que en las mujeres, también la actividad física tiene correlación positiva muy alta (r=0.81; p=0.001) con la autoestima. Nuestras conclusiones indican que se muestra una mayor práctica de actividad física por los escolares hombres de Honduras que por parte de las mujeres. Además, se encontró que un mayor nivel de realización de actividad física podría estar asociado a una mejor autoestima en los niños.
