Resumo: The prevalence of type 2 mellitus diabetes has increased worldwide, mostly in children and adolescents. The objective was investigating the prevalence of risk factors for type 2 mellitus diabetes in adolescents from public state schools in the city of Fortaleza-Ce. From February to March, 2006 a transversal study was carried through with 720 individuals from both genders between the ages of 14 and 19, enrolled in twelve state schools. A form was used to record identification data, socio-demographical features, food habits, physical activity and leisure practice, in addition to the measurement of weight, height, capillary glucose and arterial pressure. Results highlighted that 59.3% were girls, 10.3% were overweight, 2.6% were obese, 75.3% were sedentary, 91.1% had a family income not higher than 3 minimum wages, 8.3% presented capillary glucose with doubtful rates and 42.1% elevated arterial pressure levels. Food consumption of four or more times a week was statistically significant in rice (95.8%; p=0.0001), bread (85.8%; p= 0.0001), beans (75%; p= 0.0001) and meat (60.6%; p= 0.0001); besides that, 92.7% had from three to six meals a day. From the sample stating there was diabetes in the family, 13.6% mentioned the parents as diabetes carriers. Women practiced less physical activity than men (p= 0.000) and presented a higher percentage of doubtful glucose (p=0.004), but they had a smaller relative number of elevated arterial pressure (p=0.000); regarding overweight / obesity there was a statistically significant association with gender (p=0.840). Overweight was higher between the ages of 14 to 15 (11.1%, p=0.003) and obesity between the ages of 16 to 17(3.3%, p=0.003). Whereas sedentariness was also higher between the ages of 16 to 17 (80.8%, p=0.049). As observed, capillary glucose had no association in a statistically significant manner, with age (p= 0.453%). The risk factors association for type 2 mellitus diabetes (overweight, sedentariness, capillary glucose and elevated pressure levels) was mostly found in girls between the ages of 16 to 17.
