The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status and school performance of teenagers through a systematic literature review. The databases used were PUBMED, LILACS, ADOLEC, COCHRANE, USP Dissertations and Theses, and CAPES journals with the following inclusion criteria: studies in adolescents, both sexes, published in the last 10 years in the databases mentioned above, which relate nutritional status and school performance. As criteria for academic performance were selected grades, teacher evaluation, specific tests developed for this evaluation and failure at school. As criteria for nutritional status were defined anthropometric assessments and nutritional status of micronutrients and macronutrients. After careful selection of the studies eight papers were selected. Seven of those included school grades with a parameter to evaluate the academic performance, only three assessed the adolescent group alone, only one an estimated age of the adolescent determined by WHO and only one study used the anthropometric reference established by WHO as the ideal for this track group of individuals. Five studies highlight the influence of varying socioeconomic status and highlight the four parental education and family relations as interference factors associated with nutritional status on school performance. A single study found the nutritional status overweight and obese in their assessment of the relationship to school performance. Also notable were the limited number of published studies on the subject and the scarcity of studies conducted in developing countries, where changes in nutritional status are more frequent and important with not a single publication described in Brazil. Given the small number of studies, some with poor methodological quality and use of different instruments to assess variables obtained in the studies, it is difficult to say whether or not the relationship between nutritional status and school performance of teenagers, even taking in account most of the results that showed this relationship.
