O Youth Healthy Eating Index (YHEI) permite avaliar a qualidade da dieta em populações de adolescentes.
Este trabalho de investigação teve por objetivo verificar se o Score do YHEI varia segundo o sexo, idade
e ciclo de estudos numa amostra de adolescentes da região NUTIII-Tâmega e Sousa. Para isso, foi
desenvolvido um estudo transversal quantitativo e analítico. A recolha de dados realizou-se recorrendo
ao uso de um diário alimentar de 3 dias complementado com um questionário. Foi estudada uma amostra
constituída por 45 adolescentes. Para tratar os dados recorreu-se ao software estatístico SPSS versão 22.0
(Statistical Package for Social Sciences). O score do YHEI variou entre 28,3 e 66 e o seu valor médio foi de
43,68 (± 8,63) em 100 pontos possíveis. Relativamente à comparação do score total calculado tendo em
conta variáveis sociodemográficas, não se verificaram variações significativas segundo o sexo, a idade e
o ciclo de estudos. Após uma análise critério a critério, verificaram-se diferenças, estatisticamente,
significativas em dois critérios do YHEI, nomeadamente, consumo de manteigas e margarinas (p-value
= 0,040) e consumo de fruta (p-value = 0,040) quando se tiveram em conta o sexo e a idade,
respetivamente. Dada a pontuação do score do YHEI conclui-se que os hábitos alimentares dos
adolescentes estudados deveriam ser alvo de melhoria.

A sample of 45 adolescents was studied. The statistical software SPSS version 22.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used to process the data. The YHEI score varied between 28.3 and 66 and its mean value was 43.68 (± 8.63) out 100 points. Regarding the comparison of the total score calculated taking into account socio-demographic variables, there were no significant variations according to sex, age and study cycle. After a criterion-by-criterion analysis, statistically significant differences were observed in two YHEI criteria, namely butter and margarine consumption (p-value = 0.040) and fruit consumption (p-value = 0.040) considering sex and age, respectively. Given the YHEI score, it is concluded that the eating habits of the adolescents studied should be improved
