Searches
Searches will be made of 5 databases: ISI, PUBMED, EMBASE, LILCAS and SCIELO
(MESH/DECS) Key words: child, obesity, overweight, motor skills, postural balance
Combinations:
1- Child AND Obesity AND Motor Skills
2- Child AND Obesity AND Postural Balance
3- Child AND Overweight AND Motor Skills
4- Child AND Obesity AND Postural Balance
Types of study to be included
Cross-sectional
Condition or domain being studied
Obesity is becoming a global problem. The current living habits, sedentary lifestyle and high calorie diet is also affecting children. In this time of life that more developed motor skills happens. Thus, we believe that obesity may interfere with infant motor development.
Participants/ population
Children from 2 to 12 year olds
Intervention(s), exposure(s)
Studies that evaluate body mass index and motor skills without interventions.
Comparator(s)/ control
Comparators will be made between type of body mass indexes.
Context
We exclude the propective e interventional studies; and studies with childen with any type of neurological diseases.
Outcome(s)
Primary outcomes
Body Mass Index may interfere with the development of motor skills.
Not applied.
Secondary outcomes
Obesity and overweight may impair the development of motor skills.
Not applied.
Risk of bias (quality) assessment
STROBE statement will be used to evaluate the quality of selected studies.
Strategy for data synthesis
We will evaluate the relationship between children's body mass index and different motors skills.
Analysis of subgroups or subsets
We will perform a subgroup analysis comparing diferent children's body mass index (BMI) and different motor skills
