Sumario: Introduction: Prolonged exposure to sedentary behavior (SB) and physical inactivity in children and adolescents has a direct impact on the increased prevalence of various morbidities and cardiometabolic risks (CMR). In this way, social vulnerability can be associated with risk factors that negatively affect people and their daily lives, whose conditions or variables cause negative or undesirable effects. Therefore, vulnerable human beings do not reach higher levels of quality of life in society due to their weakened citizenship. Objective: To investigate and characterize the relationship between SB, Physical Activity Level (PAL) and CMR in socially vulnerable adolescents. Methods: The sample consisted of 16- and 17-year-old students of both sexes from a public school in Cariacica/ES, Brazil. SB and PAL were collected using SB assessment questionnaires and the short version of the IPAQ, respectively. Body composition was measured by bioimpedance and CMR factors by blood determination, in addition to heart rate and blood pressure (BP) which were collected by resting electrocardiogram. The data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel 365 and Graphpad Prism software, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The results of the schoolchildren assessed using the body mass index (BMI) showed that 27% were overweight (OW); considering the analysis of body adiposity (%BF), 13% were overweight and 36% obese, respectively. There was a statistical difference between the sexes for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, which were higher in girls. Most of the schoolchildren were classified as within normal limits for their glycemic, lipid and blood pressure profiles. However, dyslipidemia and stage 1 systolic arterial hypertension (SAH) were identified in some students. Regarding SB, 85% of adolescent students have SB in their daily routine, but 75% of adolescents are physically active. Finally, there was no association between SB and the CMR factors, PAL and the CMR factors. Conclusion: Adolescents in a situation of social vulnerability are OW and obese and have increased SB. However, they are physically active and have no CMR factors.
