This work aimed to verify the possible association between violence experienced by adolescents and nutritional disorders. We investigated the prevalence of verbal agression, physical violence, psychological abuse and nutritional status of adolescents. For this, we performed a cross sectional observational study on a sample of 201 adolescents aged 10 to 19 years enrolled in the Programa Bolsa Família and monitored by the Nutrition Service of a Health Unit in the city of Rio de Janeiro. With adolescents was conducted anthropometric measurements, and for determining the nutritional status was assessed Body Mass Index (BMI) by the parameter adopted by WHO from 2007. Family violence was investigated by using two instruments. The Conflict Tactics Scales Form R (CTS 1) was used to evaluate the family conflicts in the relationship between parents and children and the scale of psychological violence against adolescents to identify the presence of psychological violence against adolescents. Additionally, we assessed other covariates that could influence the association between violence and nutritional status of the population with information on sexual maturation, socio-demographic information and body image. With respect to BMI, were identified prevalence of underweight (4,5%), overweight (13,4%) and obesity (5%). With regard to family violence were observed 83,1% verbal aggression, 50,2% of psychological violence, 32,8% of lower physical aggression and severe physical abuse 48,3%. Through multiple linear regression was observed an association between domestic violence and BMI in female adolescents. The presence of verbal aggression perpetrated by both the father and the mother is related to BMI were statistically significant for girls. As for the male adolescents did not find any association between different types of family violence and BMI, but points to a reduction in IMC. Other strategies for qualitative research should be conducted to clarify the adverse effects of verbal abuse on BMI with parents and society since the verbal abuse is a type normally used in the family environment and considered as something natural and acceptable
