Abstract: Introduction and objective: We currently live a nutritional transition characterized by an increase in cases of overweight. In this aspect, an interdisciplinary action can help in choosing appropriate actions to improve the quality of life of individuals. The objective of the study was to evaluate the relative risk of socioeconomic, anthropometric and biochemical variables on the nutritional status of adolescents. Materials and methods: Fifty-four adolescents of both genders, aged between 10 and 18, participated in the study. Weight, height and waist circumference (WC) were measured for later calculations of Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Stature Ratio (RCE) and Body Fat Percentage (% GC). Blood pressure (BP) and blood collection for determination of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and glucose were also measured. Besides the analysis of the socioeconomic classification of the adolescent family. The data were evaluated by means of regression analysis, using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 23.0. A significance level of 5% (p <0.05) was considered. Results and discussion: Of the adolescents evaluated, 57.4% (318) were female and 42.6% (236) were male. The majority of adolescents presented eutrophy, but there was a high frequency of overweight for males (24.2%) and females (24.5%). The risk of obesity / overweight in adolescents was high CR (OR: 13.37), elevated CRF (OR: 22.23), high CR% (OR: 9.88). Conclusion: It is concluded that there is association of the nutritional status of adolescents with anthropometric factors.
