Abstract
Objective: To systematically review the literature, looking for scientific evidence about the health condition of students around the world. The guidelines of the Main Items for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA) were used as a model. Methods: We searched for articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with a five-year time span (2015 to 2019), in five databases: Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, Pubmed and Lilacs. Results: In the end, 39 articles remained for the analysis of the results, these were divided into categories considering their thematic affinities. In all categories, the studies bring indicators of prevalence of aspects related to health that alert to the dangers and aggravations to the well-being of the adolescent student. Final considerations: It appears that the current health promotion measures at school are not being satisfactory. The researches listed in this review already point to the urgency in the development of educational programs that improve the quality of life of students and thus avoid possible complications to the public health sector.
