The six-minute walk test is considered the ideal submaximal test for evaluating functional capacity in patients with cardiopulmonary disease and healthy individuals. It is simple, easy, and low-cost. Its standardization makes it a highly effective tool in terms of cost-benefit ratio. Obesity is now recognized by the World Health Organization as a disease. It not only increases body mass index (BMI) but also leads to a series of metabolic disorders that seriously compromise health. In children, it also increases the risk of cardiopulmonary diseases, psychosocial problems, physical issues, and eating disorders. This situation should prompt deep reflection from authorities and health-related institutions due to the complications associated with obesity. Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess the functional capacity of obese Peruvian children aged 6 to 11 years using the six-minute walk test, following the American Thoracic Society protocol. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study used non-probabilistic convenience sampling, with informed consent, and included children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Two six-minute walk tests were conducted on the same day with a 30-minute rest between tests. Heart rate, oxygen saturation, degree of dyspnea, and lower limb muscle fatigue were measured using the modified Borg scale. A total of 66 obese children aged 6 to 11 years were evaluated, covering a distance of 487.77m±66.37m, with 29 males and 37 females (490.55m±73.84m and 485.59m±60.84m, respectively). The study sample was divided into 3 age groups for each sex: Group I (6 to 7) walked 420.53m ± 69.22m, Group II (8 to 9) walked 504.51m ± 46.08m, and Group III (10 to 11) walked 514.19m ± 62.32m. The results for females were Group I (439.80m ± 67.64m), Group II (498.43m ± 40.57m), and Group III (509.40m ± 63.49m). The results for males were Group I (382.00m ± 60.79m), Group II (510.17m ± 51.27m), and Group III (522.17m ± 65.36m). Conclusions: Obese children aged 6 to 11 walked an average of 487.77m ± 66.37m. The distance covered was directly proportional to age—older children walked further. Obese girls walked shorter distances than obese boys. These findings demonstrate that obese children have lower physical capacity compared to children with normal weight.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-01-06) Ruíz Albino, Erika Yulissa; Alvarez Tarazona, Estela Milagros; Millones Gómez, Segundo Germán
Objective: To systematize the evidence from research conducted on the effectiveness of Exclusive Breastfeeding in children under 6 months to protect and prevent childhood obesity. Materials and Methods: A systematic review identified 10 scientific research studies located in: LILACS, Scielo, Medline, Pubmed, Cochrane, Science DIRECT, Dialnet, and Elsevier. These studies include various designs: systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and descriptive studies. The selected articles underwent critical reading and were evaluated using the GRADE system to identify their evidence value. According to the research design, 70% (7/10) are systematic reviews, 20% (2/10) are descriptive studies, and 10% (1/10) is a meta-analysis. Results: The findings of the systematic review conducted in this study indicate that 60% (6/10) reported that exclusive breastfeeding protects and prevents childhood obesity, 30% (3/10) demonstrated a reduction in the prevalence of childhood obesity, and 10% (1/10) did not clearly mention protection against childhood obesity.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-07) Lopez Llerena, Franchesca Katherine; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the educational program for the prevention of nutritional disorders of obesity and overweight in children. Materials and Methods: Quantitative study, whose design is a systematic observational and retrospective review that synthesizes results from multiple primary investigations as an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to its rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of practice. clinic. The instruments were the Pubmed, Scielo, Redalyc, Medline, EBSCO and Cochrane Plus databases; The population was 45 scientific articles and a sample of 10 was considered. The search was restricted to articles with full text; The selected articles were subjected to critical reading, using the GRADE system to assign the strength of recommendation. Results: 100% of the articles were quantitative studies; In 70% the design was systematic reviews, 20% was quasi-experimental and 10% was a community trial. 40% come from Spain, 20% from Brazil, 20% from Chile, 10% come from Colombia and 10% from Peru. 80% of the studies conclude that the interventions are effective; 80% (08) indicate that educational programs are more effective when they jointly consider adequate nutrition with the promotion of the practice of physical activity. Conclusions: In 8 of the 10 articles, the effectiveness of the educational program for the prevention of nutritional disorders of obesity and overweight is evident.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-11-28) Macalopu Arista, Gladis Carolina; Diaz Mau, Aimee Yajaira
Sleep disorders are a common affliction in the school-age population. In recent years, 50% of children suffer from sleep problems. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a condition frequently experienced in the pediatric age group, with 1% to 5% of children suffering from it, often associated with overweight and obesity. This research will use the hypothetical-deductive method to test the truth or falsehood of the proposed hypotheses. The population will consist of 130 schoolchildren of both genders between 6 to 12 years of age from a school in the city of Bagua, Amazonas. The instruments used will be the Tucson Children’s Assessment of Sleep Apnea (TuCASA) questionnaire to examine sleep-related respiratory disorders and the body mass index (BMI) to diagnose overweight and obesity in children, both of which are nationally and internationally validated.

Objective: To systematically analyze the available evidence from studies conducted on the risk of childhood obesity caused by exposure to antibiotics versus those not exposed to antibiotics during early childhood. Material and method: the systematic review of the 10 scientific articles found on the risk of childhood obesity caused by exposure to antibiotics versus those not exposed to antibiotics during early childhood, were found in the following databases reviewed: Pubmed , Medline, Scielo, lilacs, all of them were analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. Results: of the 10 articles reviewed, 20% (n= 2/10) are systematic reviews and 80% (n= 8/10) are cohort studies. Of the 10 articles systematically reviewed, 70% (7/10) show that exposure to antibiotics during early childhood was associated with a greater risk of overweight and adiposity.
