When it is not guaranteed, the subjects live in a situation of Food Insecurity (FI) or that interfere with QOL. It is common to change in EB such as cognitive restriction (CR), emotional eating (EE) and lack of food control. In this context, the objectives of this study were evaluated in 11 school years of 5 small cities in the south of Minas Gerais; i) QoL in humanitarian/religious/personal growth (SRQOL) dimensions of the FEQ-R21): EE, CR, lack of food control; iii) RC dietary practices (EBIA, and iv) dietary practices.
