Avaliação da qualidade da dieta em adolescentes do município de João Pessoa - PB

The search for quick meals and the use of processed foods are increasing. The low intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy products and increas ed intake of pr o- cessed fo ods contribute to nutritional deficiencies, weight gain and the onset of ca r- diovascular disease. Changes in food reach in most teens. Thus, several studies were conducted to evaluate the quality of food these individuals in several munic i palities in Brazil and the presented results have been negative as regards adequate intake of food and nutrients. In all evaluations was confirmed a high prevalence of increased consum p- tion of fatty - hard and sugars and lower intake of vegetables, fr uits and milk, an unf a- vorable situation to adole s cent health. Thus, the study aims to evaluate the quality of adoles cent diet public schools in the city of João Pessoa. It is linked to the project "LONCAAFS - Longitudinal study of sedentary behavior, physi cal activity, d i et and health of adolescents."

And to min i- mize memory e rrors, a photo album with pictures of food, household items and standard measures that represent items or food portions was used.
