Resumo
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate a program promoting exercise and healthy eating among
adolescents.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of 911 adolescents aged 13
to 18 years old in public schools in Goiania, Midwestern Brazil, 2010. The
participants were divided into two groups: intervention (schools taking part
in the Healthy Living, project) and control. The following were deemed to be
exercise: displacement, physical education classes in school, physical activity
outside school, and leisure-time physical activity. Pupils who totaled 300 or
more minutes per week were defi ned as active. Consuming protective foods
fi ve or more days a week was classifi ed as adequate intake. Statistical analyses
made using the Chi-square test.
RESULTS: Most adolescents were identifi ed as inactive or insuffi ciently
active, 65.7% in the Intervention Group and 65.2% Control Group, showing
no signifi cant differences between groups, and with higher prevalence among
girls. Slightly more than half of adolescents consumed health protective foods
5 or more days a week, 56.6% in the Intervention Group and 50.4% in the
Control Group (p = 0.373).
CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences between schools in the
Intervention Group and Control Group with regard to food choices and physical
activity. This indicates that the Healthy Living project needs to be reevaluated
to improve the effectiveness in achieving its objectives.
