Abstract

Objective: to assess the prevalence and factors related to healthy and unhealthy food consumption among schoolchildren. Method: cross-sectional study, conducted with 634 schoolchildren aged 10 to 16 years belonging to five state schools in the municipality of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, between August/2016 and July/2017. Results: there was a prevalence of female gender (60.1%). Regarding tobacco and alcohol consumption, 97.8% of adolescents denied smoking and 92.4% denied alcoholism. A total of 59.5% reported practicing some physical activity and 95.1% of school adolescents have a self-perception of health as "excellent", "great" or "good". Healthy and unhealthy food consumption patterns were associated with older age and alcohol consumption. Conclusion: the present study contributes towards estimating the occurrence of food consumption markers of interest for monitoring risk factors for non-communicable diseases.
