Objective: To estimate the prevalence and analysis the factors related to patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) in schoolchildren of both genders, between 10 and 18 years old, enrolled in public elementary and high school in the city of Natal / RN. Methods: The research had an exploratory, descriptive, transversal, and quantitative character carried out in the city of NatalRN. The presence of PFPS was evaluated, as well as the level of physical activity through IPAQ, the quality of movement, body mass index, navicular drop test, pain level and Kujala questionnaire. The prevalence was calculated from the complex sampling design with the inclusion of weights and cluster effects. For an association analysis, adjusted Prevalence Ratios (PR) and the confidence intervals (95%) of the outcome in relation to the independent variables were calculated and a significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: 144 students participated in the research, 51.4% (CI: 41.6 - 61.1) of the sample is male. A prevalence of 29.7% (CI: 21.5 - 39.4) of PFPS was observed. In the adapted model, the PFPS was more prevalent in females (p = 0.02) (PR: 1.82 CI: 1.0 - 3.0), in physical active (p = 0.02) (PR: 2, 3 CI: 1.13 - 4.9), in underweight youth (p = 0.03) (PR: 1.9 CI: 1.0 - 3.6). When obtained by sex, men associated a positive association between poor quality of movement of the right limb (p: 0.01) (PR: 6.0 CI: 1.3 - 26) and the outcome and the female sex obtained an association with the presence of the dynamic valgus of the left knee (p: 0.03) (PR: 2.4 CI: 1.0 - 5.8). Conclusions: The prevalence of PFPS was higher in females, in active young people, and with low weight, at the same time, the poor quality of movement associated with young male people with the syndrome and the presence of dynamic knee valgus in young women.
