PERFIL DE CONSUMO DE ALIMENTOS DURANTE LA JORNADA ESCOLAR EN UNA COMUNIDAD EDUCATIVA VULNERABILIZADA DE LA CIUDAD DE CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA.

Eating is one of the dimensions which isstrongly involved in thehealth-sickness-care process. In order to know the food consumption profile during school day in a vulnerable school community, a quanty-qualitative cross-sectional study was developed. Data were collected during one school week, in both shifts: through written records of participant observation of breaks and canteen and canteen menu; and photographic record of products offered in kiosks (inside and outside the school) and trash found in trashcans. Results show high prevalence of food from the sweet and sugar group in the offer as well as in children´s consumption choice during school hours. There are some food items which are also eaten by teachers; which somehow is a systematic reinforcement to the kids consumption habits.
