Métodos: Estudio observacional y transversal realizado en 2013 con 120 estudiantes del 5° al 9° año de dos escuelas municipales de enseñanza fundamental de un municipio del Sur de Brasil. Se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado para investigar sobre la alimentación gratuita de la escuela, aquella comprada en la cafetería o la que se trae de casa. Fueron verificados el peso, la altura y circunferencia de la cintura (CC). Se analizó la distribución de los percentiles del índice de masa corporal (IMC) y se clasificó el estado nutricional utilizándose la prueba Exacto de Fisher. Resultados: Estudiantes del sexo femenino (n=36; 46,8%) refirieron que no consumían la alimentación gratuita de la escuela porque no les gustan y los estudiantes del sexo masculino (n=22; 51,2%) porque no tienen hambre (p=0,028). Respecto la alimentación adquirida en la escuela la preferencia femenina (n=12; 27,9%) fue por golosinas y la masculina (n=21; 48,8%) por perrito caliente (p=Objetivo: Relacionar o estado nutricional e o sexo de estudantes do ensino fundamental ao consumo da alimentação escolar gratuita, comprada nas cantinas e trazida de casa.

Aplicou-se questionário estruturado para investigação acerca da alimentação escolar gratuita, comprada na escola ou trazida de casa. Foram aferidos peso, altura e circunferência da cintura (CC). Analisou-se a distribuição dos percentis do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e classificou-se o estado nutricional utilizando-se o Teste Exato de Fisher para análise. Resultados: Estudantes do sexo feminino (n=36; 46,8%) referiram não consumir a alimentação escolar gratuita porque não gostam, e os estudantes do sexo masculino (n=22; 51,2%), porque não sentem fome (p=0,028).
