RESUMO:

INTRODUCTION: Child and adolescent obesity has been growing and worrying in developing countries, being considered a public health problem. And it is known in the literature that the higher prevalence of physical inactivity and physical activity and the lower prevalence of moderate physical activity and vigorous physical activity are risk factors for the development of obesity in this age group. Considering that children are a vulnerable group and the impact of poor eating habits and physical activity on nutritional status, the objective of this study is to analyze the nutritional profile, food consumption and physical activity of schoolchildren at the fundamental level of Santa's municipal school network Cruz / RN, in the period three years. METHODS: Observational study of epidemiological character, with students enrolled in the municipal teaching network of the city of Santa Cruz / RN. The students performed an anthropometric evaluation to determine their nutritional status (BMI / age), and food consumption and physical activity were evaluated through self-applied questionnaires referring to the previous day and previously validated for the population. Food consumption was classified according to the processing of the food grouping them in: in natura and minimally processed, processed or ultraprocessed. The practice of physical activity was quantified by metabolic task equivalents (METs) and categorized as sedentary, mild physical activity, moderate physical activity or vigorous physical activity. RESULTS: A total of 1,571 schoolchildren from the urban area of the city of Santa Cruz / RN, distributed in eight schools, were evaluated in 2015 and 2017. Regardless of the nutritional status, the students presented high prevalence of physical inactivity and low physical activity. Overweight was diagnosed in 26.9% and 31.5% in the respective years, and overweight children had the lowest prevalence of physical inactivity and low physical activity  compared to eutrophic or low-weight, higher consumption of processed foods at lunch and consumption of ultraprocessed foods at all meals of the day. CONCLUSION: There was a reduction in the consumption of fresh and processed foods, high consumption of processed foods at lunch and ultraprocessed foods, high frequency of sedentary lifestyle and low moderate and vigorous physical activity on the evaluated days.
