AB  - OBJECTIVE: To analyze the obesity, overweight, and thinness trends among 
      Brazilian schoolchildren by sex, age group, and type of school according to World 
      Health Organization (WHO) and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria. 
      METHODS: We conducted four surveys between 2002 and 2018/19 involving 
      schoolchildren aged 7-14 years from a state capital in southern Brazil. Weight 
      status was classified using both WHO and IOTF criteria. RESULTS: In the total 
      sample, obesity prevalence based on the IOTF and the WHO criteria were 72% and 
      44% higher in 2018/19 compared with 2002, respectively. Over the whole period, 
      the obesity prevalence increased among children (WHO: 10.1% vs. 14.1%; IOTF: 5.0% 
      vs. 8.3%), and those from public schools (WHO: 10.5% vs. 16.4%; IOTF: 5.6% vs. 
      10.1%). There was no significant reduction in thinness prevalence over the 
      analyzed period. CONCLUSION: Obesity prevalence remains on an upward trend in a 
      state capital in southern Brazil, especially among children from public schools. 
      A higher prevalence of overweight and obesity was observed using the WHO criteria 
      compared with IOTF criteria.
