ResumoO objetivo foi analisar a associação entre maturação sexual relativamente acelerada, excesso de peso e adiposidade central em crianças e adolescentes. Foi realizado um estudo longitudinal com 617 crianças e adolescentes de 8 a 18 anos de idade. Foram realizadas três coletas de dados de peso, estatura, perímetro da cintura. O excesso de peso foi classificado com base nos valores críticos do índice de massa corporal (IMC) para crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Oestágio de maturação sexual (EMS) foi autoavaliado nas três coletas pelas crianças e adolescentes. Os indivíduos foram distribuídos em quartis de idades segundo EMS e sexo. Foramcomparados os indivíduos com maturação relativamente acelerada com os demais indivíduos. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análises de regressão linear e logística. Foi observada associação negativa entre escore z do IMC e idade de início da maturação sexual em meninos, não sendo observada associação no sexo feminino. A maturação sexual relativamente acelerada associou-se positivamente com excesso de peso e com valores de escore z do IMC. Meninas com maturação relativamente acelerada apresentaram maior adiposidade central. A pesquisaconcluiu que a maturação sexual acelerada associou-se com o excesso de peso e maior incremento no IMC em ambos os sexos evidenciando a importância da identificação do estágio de maturação sexual na avaliação nutricional de crianças e adolescentes.

The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 is a questionnaire that evaluates the health related quality of life of children and adolescents, considering different aspects of their development, including the physical, emotional, social and educational. We verified the impact of demographic, social, and economic factors, as well as the family situation, on the health related quality of life of a group of school children of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The PedsQL 4.0 was applied to 240 children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 and their respective parents. More than two thirds of the families were from lower social strata (C, D, and E). A statistically significant difference was observed in scores when evaluating the health related quality of life across socioeconomic strata and we observed statistically significant differences in the emotional, social, psychosocial and total scores. The PedsQL 4.0 scores obtained through interviews were satisfactory when compared with other urban populations of children and adolescents, probably due to the homogeneity of the population studied.
