Introduction: Healthy eating habits and physical activity are associated with protection against weight gain during adolescence. Objective: To evaluate the association between the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and greens and overweight in Brazilian adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which data from the National School Health Survey (2015) were analyzed. Socioeconomic variables, food consumption, physical activity, and sedentary behavior were evaluated. Weight and height were used to assess nutritionalstatus through BMI and classified as overweight and not overweight. For food consumption, the frequency of consumption in the seven days prior to the survey was classified as regular and less frequent. Multivariate analysis was performed using the logistic regression technique and backward procedure; odds ratios and their respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the Wald method. Statistical analyses had a significance level of 5% and were performed using the SPSS program. Results: Of the 16,328 adolescents included in the study, 40% had frequent consumption of vegetables or greens and 33.7% of fresh fruits. The association between vegetable or green consumption was positive and statistically significant (OR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.75-0.93). Conclusion: The presented evidence suggests that regular consumption of vegetables and greens is an important protective factor in preventing overweight in adolescents, providing important data to encourage the development of actions aimed at preventing this condition in this and other life stages.
