0080/2024 - Adesão à alimentação escolar em estudantes do 9º ano da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de Pelotas, RS Adherence to school meals among ninth-grade students in the municipal education network of the city of Pelotas, RS
Objetivou-se descrever a adesão à alimentação escolar e possíveis fatores associados entre estudantes da rede municipal de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Estudo transversal com os alunos matriculados no nono ano das escolas municipais de ensino fundamental localizadas na zona urbana do município. As informações foram coletadas através de um questionário padronizado e autoaplicável. As medidas de peso e altura foram aferidas para a avaliação do estado nutricional. Foram utilizados os testes estatísticos qui-quadrado, tendência linear ou exato de Fisher para as análises bivariadas e regressão de Poisson com variância robusta nas análises brutas e ajustadas. Prevalência do consumo da alimentação escolar foi 77,9%, e a adesão efetiva (consumo de 4 a 5 dias na semana) foi 38,1%, sendo maior nos escolares com outra cor da pele (1,39; IC95% 1,13-1,70) e naqueles que apresentavam sobrepeso (1,35; IC95% 1,13-1,70). Baixa prevalência de adesão efetiva à alimentação escolar, o que mostra a necessidade da educação nutricional e alimentar entre os estudantes com o intuito de aumentar a conscientização sobre a importância da nutrição adequada, da alimentação oferecida pela escola e incentivar escolhas saudáveis e, por consequência, promover uma melhor adesão ao programa.

Abstract:
The aim was to describe the adherence to school meals and potential associated factors among students in the municipal school network of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. A cross-sectional study was conducted with students enrolled in the ninth grade of municipal primary schools located in the urban area of the municipality. Information was collected through a standardized self-administered questionnaire. Weight and height measurements were taken to assess nutritional status. Chi-square, linear trend or Fisher\'s exact statistical tests were used for bivariate analyses, and Poisson regression with robust variance was used for both crude and adjusted analyses. Prevalence of school meal consumption was 77,9%, and effective adherence (consumption for four to five days a week) was 38,1%, being higher among students with a diferente skin color (1.39; 95% CI 1.13-1.70) and those who were overweight (1.35; 95% CI 1,13-1,70). A low prevalence of effective adherence to school meals was observed, highlighting the need for nutritional and dietary education among students to increase awareness about the importance of proper nutrition and the food provided by the school. This aims to encourage healthy choices and, consequently, promote better adherence to the program.
