The scope of this study was to evaluate the frequency of adherence to "10 Steps to Healthy Eating" of the Ministry of Health in adolescents from high schools in Pelotas in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted, including 1233 adolescents (13-19 years of age). The frequency of each step was evaluated through a questionnaire on food frequency and other issues included in the "10 Steps." The average number of steps achieved was 1.8. It is noteworthy that none of the subjects achieved entirely all the recommended steps. The highest frequency of compliance was found in step 4, referring to the consumption of the rice and beans. Lower frequencies of adherence were found for step 7, related to consumption of soft drinks, processed juices, sweets and snacks, and also step 3 on the consumption of fruit/vegetables/greens. Adherence to the "10 steps to Healthy Eating" by adolescents was very low. Considering the importance of healthy eating in adolescence, greater investment in public policies in the area of food and nutrition is strongly recommended.
本研究的范围是评估巴西南里奥格兰德州佩洛塔斯市高中生对卫生部“健康饮食十步骤”的遵守频率。开展了一项基于学校的横断面研究，纳入了1233名青少年（13 - 19岁）。通过一份关于食物频率及“十步骤”中其他问题的问卷来评估每个步骤的频率。达到的步骤平均数量为1.8。值得注意的是，没有一名受试者完全达到所有推荐步骤。在第4步（涉及米饭和豆类的食用）中发现的遵守频率最高。在第7步（与软饮料、加工果汁、糖果和零食的食用有关）以及关于水果/蔬菜/绿叶菜食用的第3步中，发现的遵守频率较低。青少年对“健康饮食十步骤”的遵守程度非常低。鉴于健康饮食在青少年时期的重要性，强烈建议在食品和营养领域加大对公共政策的投入。
