dc.description.abstractenIn Chile, the increase in childhood obesity in school populations is a concern and has become an important public health problem, both in urban and rural sectors, it has experienced an accelerated increase in the number of overweight or obese individuals. The objective of the research was to describe and relate nutritional status through anthropometric assessments and the state of cardiorespiratory condition among students from rural and urban sectors of the Araucanía region of Chile. A total of 103 students (males, n = 60, females, n = 43) between 12 and 14 years of age (M ± DT: age = 12.9 ± 0.7 years), belonging to rural and urban sectors of the municipality of Angol, Araucanía region, Chile took part in the research. To evaluate the anthropometric variables weight, height and waist circumference were measured, to then calculate BMI and waist/height index; Navette and Ruffier tests were applied to evaluate cardiorespiratory capacity and VO2max after which a statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v20.0 software. The results obtained indicated that in general there are not too many significant differences between urban and rural students in the variables evaluated, VO2max variable had a significant difference (p <0.05) though, the population of urban students obtained better results in the evaluated variables over rural students, correlations were found between the variables, the most prominent, a negative correlation between VO2 max and BMI, it is proposed to carry out new research in the related school population in rural and urban sectors throughout Chile.
