Abstract
El sobrepeso y la obesidad infantil en México han
incrementado en las últimas décadas y prevé que
para 2035 se incremente en el mundo a 4 billones de
personas con dicha afección. Sin duda alguna los tutores
tienen una función primordial en el desarrollo
de la salud y enfermedad de los niños en lo que es
conocido como ambiente obesogénico. El objetivo
del presente estudio fue comparar dos modalidades
de intervención a dos grupos de niños para incrementar
la actividad física y disminución del consumo de
comida chatarra semanal. Se realizó un programa de
intervención multicomponente en dos grupos de 10
niños cuya variación entre G1 y G2 fue la incorporación
de los padres en este último. Los resultados primeramente
se analizaron de manera individual con
un diseño N=1 y se obtuvieron índices NAP, posteriormente
se agruparon los datos y se realizó una T de
student para muestras independientes comparando
G1 vs G2. Se observaron diferencias significativas en
los grupos siendo el G2 quien obtiene mejores índices
NAP y disminución de la variabilidad en los tamaños
del efecto al incluir la variable de programa para tutores.
Se considera de importancia que los programas
de modificación de conducta en actividad física y alimentación
incorporen a los padres o tutores.
Childhood overweight and obesity in Mexico has increased in recent decades and it is expected that by 2035 there will be an increase of 4 billion people in the world with this condition. Without a doubt, tutors have a primary role in the development of children’s health and illness in what is known as an obesogenic environment. The objective of the present study was to compare two intervention modalities for two groups of children to increase physical activity and decrease weekly junk food consumption. A multicomponent intervention program was carried out in two groups of 10 children whose variation between G1 and G2 was the incorporation of parents in the latter. The results were first analyzed individually with an N=1 design and NAP indices were obtained, subsequently the data were grouped, and a Student’s T test was performed for independent samples comparing G1 vs G2. Significant differences were observed in the groups, with G2 obtaining better NAP indices and a decrease in variability in effect sizes when including the tutor program variable. It is considered important that behavior modification programs in physical activity and nutrition incorporate parents or tutors.
