Abstract
Objetivo: Evaluar y corregir, usando escalas de siluetas corporales, el impacto de la no respuesta en las
prevalencias de bajo peso, sobrepeso y obesidad en ninos/as ˜ de 6-15 anos ˜ de edad.
Método: Estudio transversal realizado en 2013 con 8145 escolares gallegos/as de 6-15 anos. ˜ Quienes
aceptaron participar fueron pesados/as y medidos/as, y a partir del índice de masa corporal se estimaron
las prevalencias de bajo peso, sobrepeso y obesidad. Los/las profesores/as valoraron a todo el alumnado
mediante escalas de siluetas corporales, y las valoraciones se usaron para estimar las prevalencias corregidas por la no respuesta.Aplicando elteorema de Bayes se estimaron las tasas de participación en función
del estado ponderal.
Resultados: La tasa de participación fue del 92,3% para los/las de 6-11 anos ˜ y del 90% para los/las de 12-15
anos. ˜ En ambos grupos, las prevalencias de bajo peso y sobrepeso fueron similares entre participantes
y no participantes, pero la obesidad fue mayor entre los no participantes, sobre todo a los 12-15 anos ˜
(6,3% vs. 12,2%; p < 0,05). Las prevalencias no variaron al ser corregidas con las valoraciones. La tasa de
participación de los/las escolares obesos/as fue inferior a la global (82% vs. 90% a los 12-15 anos; ˜ p < 0,05).
Conclusiones: Se confirma la presencia de sesgo de participación, mayor a los 12-15 anos, ˜ aunque su
impacto en las prevalencias fue despreciable debido a la alta tasa de participación. En los estudios de
obesidad con medidas objetivas es fundamental cuantificar la no respuesta, así como valorar el impacto
que tiene y corregirlo.
Objective: To evaluate and correct the impact of non-response in the prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity in children aged 6 to 15 years old using silhouette scales. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out in 2013 among 8,145 Galician schoolchildren aged 6-15 years old. The students who agreed to participate were weighed and measured and, based on body mass index, the prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity was estimated. Teachers rated all students using silhouette scales. The valuations were used to estimate the prevalence corrected by non-response. Using the Bayes theorem, participation rates were estimated according to weight status. Results: The participation rate was 92.3% in the 6 -to 11-year-old group, and 90% in the 12- to 15-year old age group. In both groups, the prevalence of underweight and overweight were similar between participants and non-participants. However, obesity was higher among non-participants, especially at 12 to 15 years of age (6.3% vs. 12.2% ; p < 0.05). The prevalence did not change when corrected by the teacher’s valuation. The participation rate of obese students was lower than the overall rate (82% vs. 90% at 12 to 15 years old; p < 0.05). Conclusions: The presence of participation bias, which was greater at 12-15 years old, was confirmed. However,the impact ofthe bias on prevalence was negligible due to the high participation rate. In obesity studies with objective measures, itis essentialto quantify non-participation, as well as to assess its impact and correct it.
