“…The sample was stratified by administrative regions, schools, school years, classes, and sexes, with proportional allocation, that is, the sample sizes of the strata corresponded proportionally to the population. Then, in the selection phase, the adolescents from each school were chosen via a simple random draw (17)(18)(19) .…”

“…The questionnaire listed four blocks regarding eating contexts: the first three were about the main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), whereas the last one was about snacks. In summary, the questions referred to the regularity of meals; to the habit of having them at home or out; in quiet or noisy places; while sitting at the table, sitting/lying on the couch/bed, or standing/walking; in front of screens or not; and with or without company (19) .…”

Objective: To describe the eating contexts and estimate their associations with sociodemographic factors in a sample of Brazilian adolescents. Design: Cross-sectional study. We used an exploratory questionnaire about eating contexts (encompassing regularity of meals, places where they occur, and if they take place with attention and in company), which was submitted to cluster analysis. Subsequently, three clusters were identified: cluster 1, “appropriate eating contexts at breakfast, lunch, and dinner”; cluster 2, “inappropriate eating context at breakfast”; and cluster 3, “inappropriate eating context at dinner”. Multinomial logistic regression models were performed, without and with adjustments, using cluster 1 as reference. Setting: 29 public schools of Juiz de Fora, MG, Southeast Brazil. Participants: Adolescents, 14-19-year-olds (n = 835). Results: We observed relevant prevalence of adolescents omitting breakfast (52.9%) and dinner (39.3%), and who had the habit of eating sitting/lying on the couch/bed or standing/walking, and in front of screens. Breakfast usually occurred unaccompanied (70.8%); around half (47.5%) and little over a third (36.1%) of the sample also would usually have lunch and dinner unaccompanied, respectively. Furthermore, through multivariate analysis, we found associations of eating contexts clusters with female sex (more likely in clusters 2 and 3), age range 14-15-year-olds (less likely in cluster 2), and higher mother’s schooling (more likely in cluster 3). Conclusions: We verified an alarming prevalence of adolescents with eating contexts unaligned with healthy eating recommendations. Additionally, inappropriate eating contexts at breakfast and/or at dinner were associated with sociodemographic factors (sex, age range, and mother’s schooling).
