“…With respect to the food intake of Brazilian students, it was observed that school meals positively affect the consumption of healthy foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and beans, but only 22.8% of Brazilian students reported consuming school meals regularly (Locatelli, Canella, & Bandoni, 2018). In this case, it is possible that familiar influences may impact on food choice, as parental restriction and monitoring mediated their child's nutritional status and feeding routine (Park & Park, 2019).…”

This study analyzed the association of body size dissatisfaction with body mass index, dietary pattern, and physical activity in adolescents. A sample of 1074 participants between 10 and 17 years of age was recruited. Body size dissatisfaction was assessed with the silhouettes' scale. Dietary pattern, physical activity, and socioeconomic status were assessed with questionnaires. Body mass index was measured objectively. The prevalence of body size dissatisfaction was 77.0%, where 29.8% desired to increase body size and 47.2% desired to decrease body size. Adolescents who desired to increase body size were more likely to consume vegetables and sweets and less likely to be in the highest quartile of physical activity than satisfied adolescents. Adolescents who desired to reduce body size were more likely to report lower fruit and vegetable consumption than satisfied adolescents. Health actions aiming to reduce body dissatisfaction in adolescents should address improvement in dietary pattern and physical activity engagement, considering that desires to increase or decrease body size were differently associated in this study.

Background Worldwide population has been increasingly exposed to ultra-processed foods, which are associated with obesity. Adolescence is a transition period of life and WHO recommends the surveillance of risk factors to the adolescents’ health, such as diet, because experiences in this phase can result in health risks. Objective To assess the trends in food consumption of adolescents from Brazilian capitals according to sociodemographic variables, based on data from the National Survey of School Health (PeNSE). Methods Data from in 2009, 2012 and 2015 of a total of 173,310 9 th graders enrolled in public and private schools in Brazilian capitals and in the Federal District were assessed. Food consumption was assessed from regular consumption (five or more times a week) of healthy eating markers (beans; vegetables; fruit) and unhealthy eating markers (sweets; soft drinks; fried salty snacks). For sociodemographic variables, we considered macro regions; age; race/ skin color; gender; school administrative status. We assessed these markers trends for the population and, additionally, the analyses were stratified by gender, race/ skin color, and school administrative status. Statistical significance of the temporal trends was assessed by linear regression model. Results Over six years, three types of change in Brazilian adolescents’ diet were observed: decreasing regular consumption of beans, sweets and soft drinks, increasing regular consumption of vegetables, and stable consumption of fruit and fried salty snacks. Conclusion Brazilian adolescents’ diet composition has changed in a short period, and therefore it is necessary to monitor it to propose actions aimed at this public.

Cardiovascular diseases are considered as the deadliest diseases in the world. According to WHO data, deaths caused by coronary heart disease in Indonesia reached 138,380 or 9.89% of the total deaths. The age adjusted mortality rate is 82.30 per 100,000 population with Indonesia ranked #97 in the world. Kulon Progo Regency is located in the western part of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The average monthly food expenditure in Kulon Progo is Rp365,012 ($27.49). While a healthy diet is known and promoted to benefit health, only a small portion is used to buy fruits and vegetables (2.24% and 1.76%). Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of morbidity in Kulon Progo. This study aimed to examine the process of developing guidelines for healthy school canteens and school gardens and promote fruit and vegetable consumption. This study used a qualitative research design. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. A preliminary survey was conducted in 10 private and public schools in Kulon Progo district, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. Guidelines related to healthy lifestyles through Canteen- and school garden were successfully arranged for in-school programs. Interviews and focus group discussions explored possibilities of permanently establishing the programs with local and national funding. Some disagreement was voiced concerning the loss of revenue incurred by local food vendors. Stakeholder involvement is crucially important for the preparation and development of the school canteen - and school gardens guidelines. Follow-up is recommended to carry out the dissemination of the guidebook.
