Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the association between the origins of snacks consumed in schools, their nutritional value and overweight/obesity. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 3,930 7-10-y-old schoolchildren, from Santa Catarina State (Southern of Brazil). Food consumption in the school was assessed with an illustrated 24-hour dietary recall and the origins of snacks were investigated by structured interview. Sodas and artificial beverages, fried and processed snacks, ready-to-eat or sweetened snacks, delicacies and stuffed biscuits were classified as "low nutritional value foods," while fruit, natural juices, vegetables, and vegetable soup were the "high nutritional value foods." Univariate and multiple logistic regressions were carried out. Results: Overweight/obesity was significantly associated to consuming food from the school canteens (OR=1.34; CI=1.07-1.68) in private schools. Bringing food from home was significantly associated with increased consumption of low nutritional foods, both in public (OR=1.56; CI=1.32-1.83) and private (OR=2.64; CI=1.76-3.97) schools. Conclusion: The results indicate the need for expansion of normative which might decrease the availability of low nutritional value food in canteens, and actions of promotion of nutritional education involving the school community.
