%X Objetivou-se verificar a preval¨ºncia e os fatores sociodemogr¨¢ficos e de aptid o f¨ªsica associados ¨¤ adiposidade corporal elevada (ACE) em adolescentes de Janu¨¢ria-MG, Brasil. A amostra foi de 266 rapazes e 361 mo as (15,47¡À1,06 anos). A adiposidade foi estimada pelo somat¨®rio das dobras cutaneas tricipital e subescapular. As vari¨¢veis independentes foram: zona de domic¨ªlio (rural e urbana); idade (14-15 e 16-17); n¨ªvel econ mico (alto, m¨¦dio e baixo); aptid o aer¨®bia, flexibilidade e resist¨ºncia muscular (adequada e inadequada). Nos rapazes, 13,91% apresentaram ACE, com maior somat¨®rio de dobras cutaneas sendo observado nos residentes da zona urbana (p<0,05). Nas mo as, 33,24% apresentara ACE, sendo que aquelas com 16-17 anos e de n¨ªvel econ mico mais baixo apresentaram maiores valores de somat¨®rio de dobras cutaneas (p<0,05). A ACE associou-se, apenas nos rapazes, a zona urbana e ¨¤ resist¨ºncia abdominal inadequada (p<0,05). Assim, em compara  o as mo as, os rapazes parecem ser mais vulner¨¢veis aos fatores ambientais. The objective was to verify the prevalence and factors associated with high body fat in adolescents from Januaria-MG, Brazil. The sample included 266 boys and 361 girls (15,47¡À1,06 years old). Adiposity was estimated by the sum of triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness. The independent variables were: area of residence (urban and rural); age (14-15 and 16-17 years old); house income (high, medium and low); aerobic fitness, flexibility and muscular resistance (adequate and inadequate). Among boys, 13,91% exhibited adiposity excess, with higher (p<0.05) skinfold thicknesses sum been observed among boys with low house income and urban residence. Among girls, 33,24% exhibited adiposity excess, with higher (p<0.05) skinfold thicknesses sum been observed among girls with 16-17 years old and low house income. Adiposity excess was associates, only in boys, with urban residence and inadequate muscular resistance. Thus, boys seem to be more susceptible to environmental factors than girls.
