description Ultra processed foods (UFAs) are becoming increasingly important in children´s diets, deteriorating their health and quality of life in the short, medium and long term. This study analysed the frequency of consumption of UPAs in 5th and 6th grade schoolchildren from three schools in three localities with different levels of urbanisation and socio-productive activities, Centenario (Neuquén), San Luis (San Luis) and Serrano (Cordoba), according to socio-demographic characteristics and food environments, in the year 2021. A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 188 school children (San Luis n=76; Centenario n=62; Serrano n=50), who responded to a self- administered digital survey on the frequency of weekly consumption of UPA in main meals and snacks, socio-economic level (SEL) of the household and food environments (home and school). Comparison of proportions tests were applied to compare consumption frequency between locations and by SEL (significance level=0.005). Statistical analyses were performed with Stata V14.0 and EPIDAT. The group with the highest frequency of consumption was sweet biscuits (72.3%), where Centenario (n=33) showed higher consumption than Serrano (n=23) and San Luis (n=16) (p=0.001). Flavoured juices were consumed by a high percentage of school children within the group of sweetened beverages (71.2%). Serrano had the highest numbers of school children with very frequent consumption and the differences between Serrano (n=21) and Centenario (n=14) (p=0.045), and San Luis (n=16) (p=0.020) were significant. Finally, the group of sauces/dressings was consumed more than four times a week by a high proportion of school children (65.2%), where Serrano (n=25) had higher consumption than Centenario (n=16) (p=0.014) and San Luis (n=22) (p=0.027). No significant differences were found when analysing these products according to SEL. Finally, the main environment where UPAs were consumed was at home and the highest percentage (56.91%) consumed them during snack time. The results show that schoolchildren living in less urbanised localities had higher intakes of UPA, suggesting that both locality of residence and socio- economic background influence dietary choices and behaviours.

Los alimentos ultraprocesados (AUP) son cada vez más protagonistas de la alimentación infantil deteriorando la salud y calidad de vida a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Este trabajo analizó la frecuencia de consumo de AUP en escolares de 5° y 6° grado, de tres escuelas de tres localidades con grado de urbanización y actividades socioproductivas diferentes entre sí, Centenario (Neuquén), San Luis (San Luis) y Serrano (Córdoba), según características sociodemográficas y entornos alimentarios, en el año 2021. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional, de corte transversal en una muestra de 188 escolares (San Luis n=76; Centenario n=62; Serrano n=50), quienes respondieron una encuesta digital autoadministrada sobre la frecuencia de consumo semanal de AUP en comidas principales y colaciones, nivel socioeconómico (NSE) del hogar y entornos alimentarios (hogar y escuela). Se aplicaron pruebas de comparación de proporciones para comparar la frecuencia de consumo entre localidades y por NSE (nivel de significación=0,05). Los análisis estadísticos se realizaron con Stata V14.0 y EPIDAT. El grupo con mayor frecuencia de consumo fueron las galletas dulces (72,3%), donde Centenario (n=33) presentó mayor consumo que Serrano (n=23) y San Luis (n=16) (p=0,001). Los jugos saborizados fueron consumidos por un alto porcentaje de escolares, dentro del grupo bebidas azucaradas (71,2%) registrando diferencias significativas entre Serrano (n=21) con respecto a Centenario (n=14) (p=0,045) y a San Luis (n=16) (p=0,020), siendo la primera localidad mencionada quien mayor número de escolares con un consumo Muy Frecuente presentó; por último el grupo de salsas/aderezos fue consumido más de 4 veces/semana por una elevada proporción de escolares (65,2%), dónde Serrano (n=25) presentó mayor consumo en relación a Centenario (n=16) (p=0,014) y San Luis (n=22) (p=0,027). No se hallaron diferencias significativas respecto al análisis de estos productos según NSE. Por último, el principal entorno donde se consumieron los AUP fue el hogar y el mayor porcentaje (56,91%) lo hizo durante la merienda. Los resultados expuestos evidencian que los escolares residentes de localidades con menor grado de urbanización tuvieron mayor ingesta de AUP, sugiriendo que tanto la localidad de residencia como el contexto socioeconómico ejercen influencia sobre las elecciones y comportamientos alimentarios. .
