Abstract(s)
Uma dieta saudável tem sido associada ao desempenho académico. Por essa razão,
este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a relação entre antropometria, Dieta
Mediterrânica e desempenho académico. A adesão à Dieta Mediterrânica foi avaliada
através do índice KidMed. O desempenho académico foi avaliado pelo valor médio
das notas finais. Foram, ainda, recolhidos dados antropométricos. O estudo incluiu
449 adolescentes dos quais 52% eram do género feminino. O estudo da antropometria
revelou que a maioria dos adolescentes tinha sobrepeso ou era obeso. Os resultados
revelaram a existência de correlação positiva entre a pontuação de KidMed e o
desempenho académico em adolescentes do 3º ciclo e do ensino secundário (p-value <
0,001). A Dieta Mediterrânica parece ser um fator positivo na promoção de melhores
resultados académicos, que devem ser considerados pelos profissionais de saúde,
educadores e formuladores de políticas
A healthy diet has been associated with academic performance. This work aimed to study the relation between anthropometry, Mediterranean Diet and academic performance. Diet was assessed through KIdMed index. Academic performance was evaluated by the mean value of final marks. Adolescents weight and body fat were measured. The study included 449 adolescents, 52% females. Anthropometry revealed that the sample majority were overweight or obese. It was found a positive correlation between KidMed score and academic performance in high school adolescents (p-value < 0.001). The Mediterranean Diet seems to be a positive factor in promoting better academic results, which should be considered by health professionals, educators and policy makers
