Objectives: To evaluate the diet quality of overweight children and adolescents attended in the ambulatory of nutrition of a public hospital in Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study with children and adolescents diagnosed with overweight, outpatients in the nutrition clinic of a public hospital in Recife. From March to September 2015, sociodemographic, behavior, anthropometric and dietary variables were collected. The quality of the diet was evaluated through the adapted Healthy Eating Index (adHEI) and Inflammatory Factor (IF). Statistical analyses were performed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0, and statistical significance was confirmed when p <0.05. Results: Of the 30 patients studied, there was greater percentage of adolescents (66.7%) and male individuals (63.3%). No evaluated patient presented a good quality diet. The adHEI has been associated with sex, consultation with nutritionist, physical activity, family meals, meals in front of the TV and neck circumference. IF was associated only with fiber consumption. Conclusion: A high proportion of pro-inflammatory diet was evidenced among overweight patients, and none of them had a good diet.
