The upswing from prevalence of obesity in adolescence is a big preoccupation in public health , since scientific literature indicates that
overweight on this age group can persist in adult life. Aiming at the investigation of the influence from nutritional state in adolescence on the individuals’ nutritional situation in adult life, one hundred male individuals residing in Viçosa county- MG were evaluated at two life phases: at the final adolescence phase, and at beginning of adult life. Were collected anthropometric assessment on adolescence and anthropometric assessment and profile lipid in adult life. Was found correlation between weight and IMC in adolescence with all anthropometric variables in adulthood, except for stature. From the relative risk analysis, the following results were found for those individuals presenting IMC above the percentile 85 of the IMC/age curve (CDC/2000) at adolescence: risk 3.67 times higher to be excessively weighty at adulthood (RR = 3.67; IC = 2.46-3.74) and risk 9.17 times higher to have increased CC (IC = 4.52-18.6). A significant correlation between IMC at adolescence and lipidic profile in adulthood was also found. Those results demonstrate the influence of the nutritional state during the adolescence phase as a determinant of the nutritional situation in adulthood.
