RESUMO:

Brazilian adolescents who attend high school in federal institutes are assisted by federal feeding programs that may affect their nutritional status. In this regard, this study evaluated the impact of participation in the National School Feeding Program (Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar, PNAE) and the Student Feeding Program (Programa de Alimentação Estudantil, PAIF) of the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, IFRN) in the evolution of the nutritional status of adolescents. This is an observational, prospective, descriptive and analytical study, developed with a representative sample of students admitted in the year 2017 of IFRN in Natal/RN. Secondary data on health and nutritional status were collected at admission, and a face-to-face assessment was performed after one year of admission (height, weight and self-completed questionnaire). The Split Plot ANOVA test with a 95% confidence level was used to compare the evolution of Height for Age (H/A) and Body Mass Index for Age (BMI/A) z-scores, between participants and non-participants of the programs over time and between groups. The strength of the association between the improvement of the anthropometric indexes and the characteristics of the adolescents was verified through the Prevalence Ratio and their respective Confidence Intervals of 95%. In the 250 adolescents evaluated, there was a reduction in the H/A z-score over time (-0.17 EZ to -0.35 EZ, p <0.001, eta = 0.195). In the participants of the PAIF there was a smaller reduction (from -0.30 EZ to -0.41 EZ) when compared to the non-participants (from -0.13 EZ to -0.33 EZ) (p <0.046, eta = 0.016). No significant differences were found in BMI/A z-score over time and between groups. The prevalence of H/A improvement was associated with age, daily time at school and participation in the PAIF; while the prevalence of improvement in BMI/A was shown to be associated with sex, the stage of sexual maturation and the number of people in the household. It was concluded that the participation in PNAE had no impact on the nutritional status in the period of one year, whereas the participation in PAIF helped to safeguard the linear growth of the students in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.
