AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate dietary fiber intake among adolescents and to analyze 
      factors associated with the risk of insufficient consumption of this nutrient. 
      METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 722 adolescents from the town of Sao Leopoldo, 
      RS, Brazil. Sampling was by clusters, with a systematic randomization of 40 
      census sectors and residences, including all individuals aged 10 to 19 years. The 
      adolescents' weight and height were measured and sociodemographic data on their 
      families recorded. A 24-hour dietary recall and a frequency survey were used to 
      assess dietary intakes. The quantity of dietary fiber in diets was calculated 
      using Nutwin nutrition support software (Programa de Apoio a Nutricao), developed 
      by the IT Department at Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo (UNIFESP). Statistical 
      analysis was by means of logistic regression, employing a hierarchical model. 
      RESULTS: The prevalence of insufficient dietary fiber intake was 69% among girls 
      and 49.7% for boys (p < 0.001). The determinant factors of this condition among 
      boys were non-habitual consumption of beans (OR 2.65; 95%CI 1.05-6.68) and 
      excessive fat intake (OR 2.67; 95%CI 11.23-5.83). For girls factors were 
      increased age (OR 5.33; 95%CI 2.33-12.2), non-habitual consumption of beans (OR 
      3.01; 95%CI 1.44-6.53), excessive fat intake (OR 1.85; 95%CI 1.01-3.37), dieting 
      for weight loss (OR 2.50; 95%CI 1.10-5.70) and presence of overweight (OR 2.06; 
      95%CI 1.04-4.07). CONCLUSIONS: These results admit of the conclusion that 
      excessive fat consumption and non-habitual consumption of beans are strongly 
      linked with the risk of insufficient dietary fiber intake in both sexes and that 
      females exhibit a greater number of risk factors for this outcome.
