0360/2025 - Alimentação de adolescentes e características do PNAE segundo esfera governamental Adolescent nutrition and characteristics of the PNAE according to government sphere
O estudo buscou examinar diferenças entre escolas federais e estaduais de ensino médio e seus estudantes quanto a oferta de refeições e alimentos, variáveis sociodemográficas e alimentação dos estudantes. Foram utilizados dados do Censo Escolar de 2023 e da Pesquisa Nacional da Saúde Escolar (PeNSE) 2019. As variáveis de interesse foram dados físicos e funcionais das escolas, presença e consumo de alimentos ofertados pela cantina, consumo da alimentação escolar e de alimentos e rotina alimentar. Quanto à estrutura, as escolas estaduais tiveram maior presença de cozinha e despensa, bem como de profissionais de preparação de alimentos. Houve mais de 60% de indicação da falta da alimentação escolar nas escolas federais, enquanto nas estaduais apenas 6,16%. Verificou-se diferenças no consumo regular da alimentação escolar, bem como na presença e consumo de alimentos na cantina, além da relação destes no consumo alimentar dos estudantes. A esfera federal apresentou menor prevalência de oferta de alimentação escolar e maior de cantinas em suas unidades, o que parece influenciar o consumo alimentar dos estudantes. Os resultados indicam que existem diferenças entre as esferas que se refletem na oferta e consumo da alimentação escolar pelos estudantes.

Abstract:
This study sought to examine differences between federal and state high schools and their students regarding the provision of meals and food, sociodemographic variables, and student nutrition. Data from the 2023 School Census and the 2019 National School Health Survey (PeNSE) were used. The variables of interest were the physical and functional data of the schools, presence and consumption of food offered by the cafeteria, consumption of school meals and food, and dietary routine. Regarding their structure, state schools had more kitchens, pantries, and food preparation professionals. There was an indication of a lack of school meals in federal schools over 60%, while only 6.16% in state schools. Differences were found in the regular consumption of school meals, the presence and consumption of food in the cafeteria, and their relationship with students' food consumption. The federal sphere had a lower prevalence of school meals and a higher number of cafeterias, which seems to influence students' food consumption. The results indicate that there are differences between spheres that are reflected in the supply and consumption of school meals by students.
