RESUMO:

Introduction: The recent introduction of a quota system has allowed to students of indigenous origin to attend to Brazilian public universities. Students migration to the big city is usually associated to changes in their life style, leading to new nutrition habits, decreased physical activity practice, and alterations in health status, nutritional status, and in their health-related quality of life. Objective: To describe the nutritional status, level of physical activity and health-related quality of life of students of indigenous origin attending to a public federal university. Methodology: An exploratory cross-sectional study carried out with the whole population of students of indigenous origin attending to a federal public university in Norteast Brazil. Individual data were collected about sociodemographic, anthropometric aspects (weight, height, skinfolds, and bioimpedance) and the following questionnaires were applied: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-Short Version), and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF36), to assess health-related quality of life. Blood and serum laboratory examinations were performed: complete blood count, serum glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-LDL, and triglycerides. Data were analysed by using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences - SPSS version 21.0 for Windows. Results. Out of the 53 students investigated, 64.2% were females, mean age 23.2  4,9 years, from Pataxó (56.6%) and Tuxá (26.4%) ethnic groups, and 92.5% have migrated from their villages at less than six years. Self-reported health status was regular for 43.% of the students; the most frequently referred medical diagnosis was rhinitis/sinusitis (34.0%); and 98.1% did not have a private health insurance. The students keep a high level of physical activity; 47.2% were classified as active, 22.6% as very active, and 1,9% as sedentary. Waist circumference was increased in 66.7% and in 31.6% of the students of feminine and masculine sex, respectively. The Body Mass Index has indicated overweight in 12.1% and of obesity in 16.1% in this population. Among the 48 students who have migrated at less than 6 years, 7 (14.6%) were obese Grade I; however, among the four students who migrated for 6 or more years, one was obese Grade II and another, obese Grade III. Anemia was present in 10% and total cholesterol was increased in 16.7% out of the 30 students who had blood and serum examinations performed. Health-related quality of life was poor due to the mental health component, mainly among the females. Conclusion: The students of indigenous origin from university presented high level of physical activity; moderately increased prevalences os overweight and obesity, anemia and lipid profile. The low scores of health-related quality of life suggest that these students are exposed to high level of psychosocial stress.
