AB  - INTRODUCTION: Obesity has increased in Brazil for all age groups. Overweight at 
      the end of adolescence indicates a high probability of unhealthy weight in 
      adulthood. OBJECTIVE: To describe anthropometric data of the National Adolescent 
      School-based Health Survey (PeNSE) 2015 and its distribution according to 
      geographic and socioeconomic strata. METHODS: Data from the PeNSE 2015 was used. 
      The analysis sample consisted of adolescents aged 11 to 19 years old from public 
      and private schools with available anthropometric data. Nutritional status was 
      classified according to the body mass index, with reference values proposed by 
      the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). The prevalence estimates of 
      underweight and overweight and their respective standard errors were presented. 
      The association between anthropometric indicators and demographic or social 
      characteristics of adolescents was estimated by odds ratio, and the respective 
      95% confidence intervals were presented. RESULTS: The prevalence of underweight 
      was less than 3%. Elevated prevalence of overweight was observed in adolescents 
      from the South region, from the urban area, from the lowest fifths of income, and 
      those who declared themselves to be black or indigenous. In general, the 
      prevalence of overweight was higher among adolescents attending private schools. 
      CONCLUSION: Overweight is more frequent among adolescents from low-income strata. 
      Besides being an indicator of nutritional status, overweight may indicate social 
      inequality in Brazil.
