Abstract:

The objective of this study was to analyse school feeding adherence and associated factors in adolescentspublic state schools in the municipality of Lapa, Parana, Brazilian South. The study uses a cross-sectional and analytical design, and includes 492 male and females adolescents aged 10 to 19 yearsfive urban and five rural schools in the municipality. The students underwent anthropometric assessment and answered a questionnaire about school feeding and competitive food intakes (those bought or broughthome). Their parents/guardians answered a questionnaire about their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. An adjusted proportional odds regression model investigated the associations. The effective school feeding adherences were 30,1% in rural schools and 23,7% in urban schools. Not liking the preparations was the main reason for non-adherence. The results showed smaller adherence in adolescents with higher per capita family income and who consumed competitive foods four to five times a week. Adolescents who considered school feeding healthy presented higher adherence. Low school feeding adherence indicates the inadequate universality of the program. The associated factors may help to improve program planning and execution.
