Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of excessive body weight and eating habits among students of 3th and 4th periods of elementary school. Methods: 202 children (87 girls and 115 boys) in four schools (two publics, n=104 and two privates, n=98) from Barra do Garças (MT), Brazil were evaluated. A food frequency and physical activity questionnaire was applied. After measurement of height, weight and body mass index, the body fat (%) was estimated using a bioimpedance scale. The estimation of frequencies and the statistical analysis were performed by the epitools® program. Results: Prevalence of both overweight and obesity were higher in private schools compared to the public ones. The prevalence of overweight ranged from 18.92% to 32.43%, whereas the obesity prevalence varied from 18.2% to 36.4%. Body fat distribution was highest among girls than boys. The daily dietary intake of vegetables, legumes and fruits reached only 57.4%, 50% and 43.6%, respectively. 36.6% of the students did not drink or eat milk and its derivatives. The dietary intake of fatty foods and soft drinks 5 to 7 days per week were high, reaching 24.26% and 27.23%, respectively. The weekly consumption of sweeties and candies was excessive, reaching 39.11% for 5 to7 days. Conclusions: obesity was higher among students from private schools and dietary intake of vegetable foods was inadequate, wherea

“…En cuanto al sexo, Silva et al 21 , realizaron un estudio sobre comportamientos de riesgo hecho con adolescentes en el Nordeste de Brasil y revelaron que los adolescentes del sexo masculino fueron influenciados por un número mayor de factores (consumo de refrescos, exposición al comportamiento sedentario y bajo nivel de actividad física que las mujeres (consumo de refrescos y sobrepeso/obesidad). A pesar de que el consumo de refrescos está presente en ambos sexos como factor de riesgo, los adolescentes varones han sido influenciados por más factores que las niñas, indicando probablemente, que las niñas poseen mejores hábitos.…”

RESUMENObjetivo. Analizar la opinión de los adolescentes sobre alimentos saludables y no saludables. Estudio transversal con adolescentes de escuelas públicas y privadas. Métodos. La muestra se estratificó en tres etapas: escuela, clase y alumno, resultando en 1507 adolescentes estudiados. Los adolescentes respondieron sobre alimentos saludables y no saludables. Resultados: 995 adolescentes respondieron al cuestionario de forma completa. Los adolescentes concordaron con los beneficios de las frutas para la salud. Hubo discordancia entre las respuestas de los estudiantes de escuelas públicas y privadas sobre los maleficios de los saladitos ultraprocesados y las papas fritas para la salud; estudiantes de la red privada de enseñanza, así como del sexo femenino concordaron que las gaseosas ayudan a engordar y provocan obesidad, mientras que los de la red pública discreparon; adolescentes de escuelas privadas, de sexo femenino y grupo de edad de 15 a 17 años discreparon que carnes rojas y grasas protegen contra enfermedades del corazón. Conclusión: Los adolescentes de las escuelas de la red privada de enseñanza parecen presentar una mejor percepción acerca de los refrescos y carnes y sus maleficios a la salud, como aquellos que presentaron la mayor edad y del sexo femenino.ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze adolescents' opinion on healthy and unhealthy foods. We conducted a cross-sectional study involving adolescents from public and private schools. Methods: The sample was stratified in three stages: school, class and student, resulting in 1507 surveyed adolescents. The adolescents answered questions on healthy and unhealthy foods. Results: A total of 995 adolescents answered the questionnaire and were considered for analysis. By and large, adolescents agreed on the benefits of fruits for health. There was disagreement between responses of public versus private school students with regard to the health risks of processed salty snacks and French fries; private school students, as well as females, agreed that soft drinks contribute to weight gain and obesity, while those belonging to the public schools disagreed; adolescents from private schools, female and adolescents aged 15 to 17 years disagreed that red and fatty meats protect against heart diseases. Conclusion: Adolescents from private versus public schools, females compared to males, and who were older demonstrated a better understanding of the negative health effects of soft drinks and meat consumption

Aims: Objective this work is to understand the price dynamics of foods basket products in Brazil and the world, based on multivariate analysis, for 14 years, with data from governmental and non-governmental organizations. Methodology: Data used for world food prices were taken from official documents provided by governmental and non-governmental organizations. The data were submitted to statistical analysis by Microsoft Excel 2016® and Minitab 16®. The statistical model used in the work is multiple linear regression. When significant linear regression was found, the parameters were compared by means of simple linear regression analysis, a significance of 5% probability (P<0.05) was considered. Results: The results showed that the items that most cost the foods basket in the world are meat, fruits, and vegetables, and it was noticed that with each increase of 1 dollar in the price of these products, increased 2 dollars in the price food basket. And in Brazil it would not be different, these same products represented an increase in the price of the basic food basket in more than 300% (adding meat) and 110,67% (adding fruits and vegetables). Conclusion: Concluding that the increase of the basic food basket in Brazil and in the World is directly correlated with meat, fruits, and vegetables. Being an added value caused by the high cost of investment in these sectors, which require very high investment.
