To analyze the association between excess weight, eating habits and physical activity. Cross-sectional study with a representative sample (n = 571) students (8-10 years) from Agreste Alagoano, Brazil. Eating behavior was evaluated by QUADA, physical activity by QUAFDA, both questionnaires were validated for this age group. Data were analyzed using gross and adjusted logistic regression. The prevalence of overweight was 26.3%. There was a significant and positive association between excess weight and consumption of vegetables in regular education, however in teaching full-time association was with the consumption of soft drinks. In the adjusted analysis we found that the regular education students who did not meet the recommendations for the consumption of vegetables were more likely to be overweight (IC95%: 1,77-7,73). Already in full time students, insufficiently active were three times more likely to have overweight (IC95%: 1,07-10,12). Excess weight was associated with feeding behavior in the two kinds of teaching and significant association was found in the level of physical activity in full-time education students.

Analisar a associação entre o excesso de peso, o comportamento alimentar e a atividade física. Estudo transversal com amostra representativa (n= 571) escolares (8 a 10 anos) do Agreste Alagoano, Brasil. O comportamento alimentar foi avaliado através do QUADA, a atividade física pelo QUAFDA, ambos questionários validados para esta faixa etária. Os dados foram analisados mediante regressão logística bruta e ajustada. A prevalência de excesso de peso encontrada foi de 26,3%. Observou-se uma associação significativa e positiva entre o excesso de peso e consumo de leguminosas no ensino regular; entretanto, no ensino de tempo integral, a associação foi com o consumo de refrigerantes. Na análise ajustada, verificou- se que os escolares de ensino regular que não atendiam às recomendações para o consumo de leguminosas apresentaram mais chances de estar com excesso de peso (IC95%: 1,77-7,73). E os insuficientemente ativos tiveram três vezes mais chances de apresentar excesso de peso (IC95%: 1,07-10,12). O excesso de peso se associou ao comportamento alimentar nos escolares dos dois tipos de ensino e houve associação significativa no nível de atividade física em escolares de ensino em tempo integral.
