Abstract

The aim of the present study was to analyze the expenses of the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) with the treatment of obesity in adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. Data were analyzed through the Brazilian Hospital Information System (SIH) of the SUS, which are processed and made available by the Technology Department of the SUS (DATASUS). The options used in the research were based on the expenses with the treatment of obesity of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years, of both sexes, and in the different regions of Brazil. Data was analyzed from 2008 to 2018. An increase in the expenses with the treatment of obesity for the cited ages was seen. In 2008, R$190,015.83 was spent, while in 2018 this value increased to R$ 918,564.40. The total amount spent in the analyzed period was R$5.570,080.93. When analyzed by sex, between 2008 and 2018, girls cost more to the public system than boys (R$ 4,035,282.05 vs. R$ 1,534,798,88, respectively). Regarding regions, the South and Southeast Regions were the one that cost more to the Brazilian public health system. It is concluded that there has been a significant increase in the costs of the treatment of obesity in adolescents, accompanying the increase of excessive weight in this age span. Moreover, girls cost more to the system and the South and Southeast Regions concentrated most of these expenses.
