  • Birth weight and nutritional status in school‐age children from Boane city, Mozambique

    Open AccessEulálio Malinga, Carol Góis Leandro et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2024

    BACKGROUND: Birth weight is considered an important marker of inadequate maternal nutrition, and it is a critical indicator of the newborn's health and development. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the influence of low birth weight (LBW) on body composition in 7-10-year-old school children from Boane City-Mozambique. METHODS: A total of 220 children (female = 122 and male = 98) were divided into two groups according to their birth weight (LBW, n =…

  • The Similarity Degree of the Anthropometric and Body Composition Variables of Brazilian and Mozambican Schoolchildren

    Open AccessAndré Luiz de Góes Pacheco, Willian Motta Bocanegra et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Brazilian and Mozambican children exhibit differences in growth characteristics but a high degree of similarity when children from rural and urban zones are compared

  • Biological and behavioral correlates of body weight status among rural Northeast Brazilian schoolchildren

    Open AccessFernanda Karina Dos Santos, Marcos A M Dos Santos et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2018

    OBJECTIVES: The increase in the prevalence of overweight/obesity in youth is a public health problem worldwide; however, few studies have investigated its prevalence and correlates in children from the Brazilian Northeast region rural zone. The purpose of this study was (1) to estimate the prevalence of children's weight status according to sex, age, and birth weight categories; and (2) to investigate the links between biological and behavioral f…

  • Deficits in anthropometric indices of nutritional status and motor performance among low birth weight children from Maputo City, Mozambique

    Open AccessMario Eugénio Tchamo, Marcos A M Dos Santos et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2017

    LBW seems to be the major factor that influences anthropometry, and is a predictor of low muscle strength and low performance on sideways movement tests. This result suggests that growth faltering in LBW children is associated with adverse health consequences, even after controlling for gender, age, fatness, and body size

  • Permanent deficits in handgrip strength and running speed performance in low birth weight children

    Open AccessMarcos A M Dos Santos, Marcos Moura‐Dos‐Santos et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2013

    OBJECTIVE: The main goal of this study was to verify the influence of low birth weight (LBW) on the physical fitness of children aged 7-10 years. The comparisons were subsequently adjusted for chronological age, gender, physical activity (PA), and body composition. METHODS: A total of 356 children of both genders born in Vitoria de Santo Antão (Northeast of Brazil) were divided into two groups according to their birth weight (LBW < 2.500 g, n = 1…

  • Association of maturation, sex, and body fat in cardiorespiratory fitness

    Open AccessJorge Mota, Sandra Guerra et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2002

    The aims of this cross‐sectional study were 1) to estimate changes in body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness across stages of pubertal maturation, and 2) to describe the relationship between maturity status and body fatness, regional fat distribution, and cardiorespiratory fitness. The sample consisted of 494 children (254 males, 240 females), 8–16 years of age. Height and weight were measured with standard anthropometric methods. Percent…
