O objetivo desta investigação foi conhecer as diferenças no padrão alimentar de estudantes que
frequentam diferentes ciclos de estudo do ensino básico (2.º e 3.º ciclos do ensino básico). A
amostra foi constituída por 529 adolescentes com13,32 (±1,59) anos, de numa escola pública
portuguesa. A obesidade foi calculada através do IMC. Para recolher informação do padrão
alimentar aplicou-se um questionário. O teste do Qui-Quadrado utilizou-se na comparação entre
grupos. A prevalência de excesso de peso/obesidade foi de 22,8%. Verificou-se uma maior
prevalência de excesso de peso/obesidade no 2.º ciclo (27,9% versus 18,9%, p=.015). Os
estudantes mais velhos saltam mais refeições (primeiro-almoço p=.000, almoço p=.009, jantar
p=.015), bebem mais refrigerantes (p=.046) e bebidas alcoólicas (p=.001). Quanto ao consumo
de doces, fruta, vegetais e leite, não se observam diferenças estatisticamente significativas, entre
os ciclos. Concluindo, verifica-se uma degradação do padrão alimentar na passagem do 2.º para
o 3.º ciclo do ensino básico.
The aim of this study is to compare the food pattern of students who attend different school grades. The sample consisted of 529 adolescents with 13.32(±1.59) years, from a Portuguese public school. Obesity was calculated using BMI. A questionnaire was applied to collect information on the food pattern. The chi-square test was used to compare the two groups. The overall prevalence of overweight + obesity was 22.8%. The group that attended 5th and 6th grades present a higher prevalence of overweight +obesity in (27.9% versus 18.9%, p=.015). Older students skip more meals (breakfast p=.000, lunch p=.009, dinner p=.015), drink more soft drinks (p=.046) and alcoholic drinks (p=.001). Regarding the consumption of sweets, fruit, vegetables and milk, there are no statistically significant differences between the grades. In conclusion, there is a trend of an unhealthy food pattern from the 5th and 6th grades to the 7th, 8th and 9th grades.
