The exponential increase in the consumption of these foods among the adolescent population and its risks demands studies on the conditions related to this intake. Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with the consumption of ultra-processed foods in the adolescent population. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and analytical study carried out in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with 880 students from public schools participating. The inclusion criteria used were to be a student regularly enrolled in the institution and in the selected class. Adolescents who did not attend school on the days of the questionnaire were applied were excluded. Results: A total of 880 adolescents from 6th to 9th grade from municipal public schools participated in this study. The mean age was 12.95 (±1.23) years, 51.9% were female and 35.7% were in the 6th grade. The mean screen time in the group was 7.56 (±6.48). Conclusions: In the present study, a high prevalence of UPF was observed among the interviewees, with every 4 out of 10 young people consuming UPF daily, with the most consumed being sweets and soft drinks. The highest prevalence of consumption was observed among female adolescents with higher average screen time. Introdução: Os alimentos ultraprocessados (AUP) são formulações industriais feitas com quantidades muito pequenas de substâncias extraídas de alimentos in natura e alta concentração de aromatizantes, emulsificantes, corantes e outros aditivos que alteram as propriedades organolépticas do produto, tendo alto valor energético e baixo valor nutricional. O aumento exponencial do consumo desses alimentos entre a população adolescente e seus riscos, demanda estudos acerca das condições relacionadas a essa ingestão. Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados na população adolescente. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo e analítico realizado no município de Montes Claros -- MG realizado com 880 alunos de escolas da rede pública participaram. Utilizou-se como critérios de inclusão, ser aluno regularmente matriculado na instituição e na turma selecionada. Foram excluídos os adolescentes que não compareceram à escola nos dias da aplicação do questionário.

A média de idade foi de 12,95 (±1,23) anos, 51,9 % eram do sexo feminino e 35,7 frequentavam o 6º ano. O tempo média de uso tela no grupo foi 7,56 (±6,48). Conclusões: No presente estudo observou-se alta prevalência de AUP, entre os entrevistados, a cada 4 em 10 jovens mostraram consumir AUP diariamente, sendo os mais consumidos guloseimas e refrigerantes.
