Objectives: Assessing nutritional status, verify anthropometric differences and compare the prevalence of inadequate nutritional status measured by different anthropometric indices between sexes in adolescents. Method: 304 adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 (boys 16.0 ± 1.2 and girls 15.7 ± 1.3; average ± SD) were evaluated. Anthropometric data was collected so it was determined the nutritional status through the body mass index (BMI), the Ponderal Index (PI), body fat (BF), waistto-height ratio (WHtR), abdominal circumference (AC) and neck circumference (NC). Results: The analyses of the nutritional status by the BMI, PI, AC and WHtR detected respectively 22, 19.4, 16.4 and 5.6% of the subjects were overweight/obesity with no statistical differences between the sexes. For the BF, 29.6% were determined as obese, with greater prevalence among the girls and for the NC, the prevalence of obesity was 21.4%, more prevalent amongst the boys. Conclusions: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was elevated between adolescents. The boys demonstrated higher body mass, stature and neck circumference, whilst the girls demonstrated higher body fat. There was a high variation in the prevalence of overweight and obesity between the methods. The use of more than one anthropometric method for assessing nutritional status is proven to be an interesting strategy for the accurate detection of overweight /obesity in adolescents.
