Resumo
Introduction: despite the few studies on the profile of health and nutritional
status of young quilombolas, one realizes that the urban environment can
influence the eating habits of this population, with consequent occurrence of
overweight. This situation of nutritional status and dietary pattern in quilombolas
communities seems to be a nonsense when it shows the concomitant presence
of food insecurity in their homes. Objective: to characterize the nutritional
status of students quilombolas and food security in their homes. Methods: A
cross-sectional study with 226 students from six to 19 years who attended local
schools visited in the period March-August 2012. Information was collected on
age, sex, nutritional status, location of the school who were enrolled and
applying the Brazilian Scale for Measuring Food Insecurity conducted with the
families of the students interviewed. Tests were conducted chi-square
association considered significant when p-value presented <0.05. The study
was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Universidade Federal de Goiás
Results and discussion: food insecurity was present in 75.2% of families
quilombolas. There was a higher frequency of overweight (17.2%) compared to
the low weight (1.3%) among students. Overweight was more common among
students enrolled in urban schools (28.2%) (p <0,05). Conclusions: The
presence of overweight concomitant to food and nutrition insecurity allows
questioning about new lifestyles and consumption, and even on the poverty
profile now present in Brazil. The urbanization of these communities may be an
influencing factor in this correlation, which is the reason we suggest new studies
to further this discussion.
