Resumo

***Associação entre tempo de tela e índice de massa corporal entre
estudantes universitários***

OBJETIVOS: Foi demonstrado que o tempo de tela está associado ao sobrepeso e à obesidade nos pacientes pediátricos. No entanto, a relação entre essas duas variáveis não foi confirmada entre estudantes universitários na Malásia, que estão tendo um aumento no tempo de tela. Desse modo, o objetivo desses estudo é avaliar a associação entre tempo de tela e o indice de maasa corporal (IMC) entre estudantes universitários.
MÉTODOS: Um total de 390 estudantes universitários (sexo feminino=236, masculino=154) com idade média de 20,17 anos foram envolvidos neste estudo. Eles completaram o Questionário de Comportamento Sedentário Baseado no Tempo de Tela para avaliação total do tempo de tela. A altura corporal e o peso foram medidos para calcular o índice de massa corporal (IMC).
RESULTADOS: A prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade não foi alta entre os universitários (12,3% e 4,4%). Indivíduos do sexo masculino têm geralmente um IMC mais alto em comparação com indivíduos do sexo feminino. O smartphone foi o dispositivo mais comum de propriedade dos sujeitos (33%). O tempo de tela dos participantes foi alto, pois 97,4% dos sujeitos caíram na categoria de tempo de tela alta (> 2 horas). No entanto, o tempo de tela não foi significativamente associado ao IMC (p=0,36). A única variável associada ao tempo de tela foram os dispositivos pertencentes aos sujeitos (p=0,001).
CONCLUSÕES: O tempo de tela não foi significativamente associado com o IMC entre os estudantes universitários. Estudos futuros devem incluir a relação de outros fatores sobre o IMC entre estudantes universitários.
