• Children with obesity consume fewer fresh foods. • Children with obesity consume more ultra-processed foods. • Children with obesity perform fewer masticatory sequences. • Children with obesity eat faster. Childhood obesity is a significant public health problem. Studies show that obese children are more likely to become obese adults. In an attempt to ascertain the factors associated with childhood obesity, research has shown that this condition is associated with changes in food consumption and masticatory performance. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate food consumption and masticatory performance in normal weight, overweight and obese children aged 7 – 12 years. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 92 children aged 7 – 12 years, of both sexes, from a public school in a Brazilian municipality. The children were divided into the following groups: normal weight (n = 48), overweight (n = 26) and obese (n = 18). Anthropometric parameters, food consumption, food consistency preference, and masticatory performance were evaluated. Pearson's chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. To compare numerical variables, the one-way ANOVA test was applied. For variables not conforming to a normal distribution, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. The level of statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Our results show that the children with obesity consumed fewer fresh foods (median = 3, IQI = 4.00–2.00, p = 0.026), consumed more ultra-processed foods (median = 4, IQI = 4.00–2.00, p = 0.011), performed fewer mastication sequences (median = 2, IQI = 3.00–2.00, p = 0.007), and ate faster (median = 58.50, IQI = 69.00–48.00, p = 0.026) compared to children of normal weight. We conclude that children with obesity exhibit differences in food consumption and masticatory performance compared to children of normal weight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
