METHODS: The study was conducted with 299 children, 190 males and 109 females. The anthropometric nutritional status was evaluated through the Body Mass Index for age, with ages ranging from 5 to 10 years and food consumption by QUADA, a questionnaire answered by the students to recall and identify the foods consumed during the 24 hours of the previous day. The associations were tested using the chi-square test, with calculation of the respective prevalence ratios and 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Males were predominant in schoolchildren's research. When assessing the nutritional status, it was observed that this remained unchanged in a large part of the schoolchildren, thus prevailing the eutrophic result, although it still registered an audience of overweight and obese schoolchildren according to the IMC / I indicator. And in relation to the food consumption, predominated in the QUADA applied a maintenance of the consumption of the ultraprocessed group instead of fruits, vegetables and vegetables. CONCLUSION: Overweight and obesity are public health problems that are increasing in early childhood and, therefore, affecting the school stage. Thus, greater attention is needed for health promotion and prevention measures, as well as the implementation of Brazilian food and nutrition policies and programs.embargoedAccessEscolaresEstado NutricionalConsumo AlimentarbachelorThesis
