Objective: To know the nutritional and food profile of schoolchildren enrolled in a Municipal School of Ipiranga do Sul.
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study with 113 schoolchildren from 5 o 19 years old, enrolled in a Municipal School of Ipiranga do Sul (RS). Data were collected through questionnaires and evaluation of anthropometric measures. The sociodemographic variables investigated were: age, sex, color, education, economic class and being part of the Bolsa Família Program (BFP). The nutritional state of schoolchildren was evaluated through the classification of the body mass index for age and the arm circumference. For the evaluation of food consumption, the E-Kindex frequency food questionnaire was used.
Results: Of the 113 schoolchildren evaluated, the most frequent were male sex, children, white skin color, belonging to economy classes B and C and without being in the BFP. The highest prevalence was of eutrophic children (67.3%) and with adequate food consumption. In the bivariate analysis between nutritional state and associated factors, it was observed that the highest prevalence of overweight/obesity was associated with the non-white skin color (p=0.036), belonging to economic classes C, D and E (p=0.044) and being part of the BFP (p=0.008).
Conclusion: Most of the schoolchildren presented as eutrophic, although 30.1% were overweight. Noteworthy is the low consumption of fruits and vegetables, despite the apparent adequacy of food consumption. Actions of ood and nutritional education, provided in the National School Alimentation Program, should be strengthened, with the view to promote improvement in the food and nutritional state of schoolchildren.
