Abstract:

The objective was to characterize and evaluate the eating environment of public schools regarding the presence of competing factors that promote healthy eating. A descriptive and observational quantitative study was carried out in 14 public schools in a municipality in Rio de Janeiro and its surroundings. For this purpose, photographic records, and a field diary were used. The presence of murals on the theme of food, vegetable gardens, school cafeteria, and the presence of teachers during meals were considered as promoting components of a healthy eating environment. As competitors, the presence of snacks taken by students, canteens, informal food sales, and the presence of packaging and ultra-processed foods circulating in schools. To characterize the establishments in the school surroundings, a radius of 500 metersthe school gate was considered. Marketed foods were categorized according to the NOVA classification. The study identified a predominance of factors that promote healthy eating compared to competitors. However, there was a high presence of ultra-processed foods inside the schools. In the school environment, the presence of these foods was predominant. The competing factors identified in the study may contribute to low adherence to school meals.
