Objective To provide an overview of beverage consumption patterns using the first nationally representative survey of dietary intake in Brazil. Design Beverage consumption data were obtained by 1-day food records in an individual dietary survey. Setting nationwide cross-sectional survey, 2008–09. Subjects nationally representative sample of individuals ≥10 years (n=34,003). Results Beverages contributed to 17.1% of total energy consumption. Caloric coffee beverages provided the greatest level of energy overall (464 kJ or 111 kcal/d). Individuals from 10 to 18 (243 kJ or 58 kcal/d) and from 19 to 39 years old (230 kJ or 55 kcal/d consumed higher proportion of energy from sugar sweetened soft drinks than individuals over this age (142 kJ or 34 kcal/d for those 40–59 and 79 kJ or 19 kcal/d for those >60 years old). Conclusions Overall, the contribution of beverages, particularly sugary beverages, to total energy consumption in Brazil represents an important public health challenge and is comparable with those from other countries.

OBJECTIVE To systematically review the results of the association between breakfast skipping and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents. METHODS The articles were searched in May 2020 from PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Web of Science and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The review included observational studies conducted with adolescents (10–19 years old), which estimated the association of breakfast skipping with at least one outcome (markers of body adiposity, blood pressure, serum lipid and glucose levels). Regarding the risk of bias, the articles were evaluated using the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) Item Bank on bias risk and accuracy of observational studies. The quality of the evidence was assessed by the Grade rating. RESULTS A total of 43 articles involving 192,262 participants met the inclusion criteria and were considered in this review. The prevalence of breakfast skipping ranged from 0.7% to 94% and 60.5% of studies were classified with low risk of bias. The significant association between breakfast skipping and cardiometabolic risk factors was found in twenty-nine cross-sectional articles (n = 106,031) and four longitudinal articles (n = 5,162) for excess adiposity, in three articles (n = 8,511) for high total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides, and in three studies (n = 6,303) for high blood pressure levels. However, there was no significant association between breakfast skipping and glycemic profile. According to the Grade rating, all the associations had low quality of evidence. CONCLUSION The results of this review suggest that breakfast skipping is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. However, considering the low quality of the evidence, the present results should be interpreted carefully. In addition, our findings highlight the importance of standardizing the definition of breakfast skipping and that more prospective studies are needed to determine how skipping breakfast can affect cardiometabolic risk factors in the long time.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a distribuição das variáveis antropométricas de acordo com características demográficas, socioeconômicas e de saúde em crianças, de zero a cinco anos, de descendência haitiana residentes em Cuiabá-MT, Brasil. Consiste em estudo transversal, com dados coletados entre agosto/2016 e fevereiro/2017. As variáveis dependentes foram o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a estatura/idade em escore-z, sendo utilizado o Teste t de Student e ANOVA na análise estatística. Foram avaliadas 67 crianças, 73,2% com até 24 meses de idade e 34,3% do sexo masculino. Observou-se expressiva proporção de famílias com renda per capita inferior a 1/4 de salário mínimo (65,6%), sem acompanhamento domiciliar pela Estratégia Saúde da Família (88,1%) e elevada carga horária de trabalho das mães (43,3%). O início do pré-natal até o terceiro mês de gestação e sexo feminino foram associados a maiores médias de IMC. Quanto a estatura/idade, foi identificada associação com menores médias para domicílios com mais de um morador por cômodo, faixa etária mais elevada da criança e cuidado da criança em creches. Apesar de poucos fatores apresentaram associação com os indicadores antropométricos avaliados, é necessário atentar-se para as condições socioeconômicas precárias nas quais estas crianças estão inseridas.

In order to estimate energy sources from the consumption of away‐from‐home foods (AFHF) and investigate the association between AFHF and energy intake, day‐1 food records from 25,753 individuals (≥10yrs), living in urban areas, investigated in the 2008–2009 Brazilian nationwide Individual Dietary Survey were analyzed. The share of energy from AFHF was calculated for 33 food groups and linear regression models were developed to evaluate the association between AFHF and energy intake. All statistical analyses were weighted and took into account the sample design effect. Foods that were highly consumed away from home were alcoholic beverages (59%), baked and deep‐fried snacks (54%), pizza (42%), soft drinks (40%), sandwiches (40%), and sugar and desserts (30%). The mean energy intake from foods consumed away from home was 337 kcal, representing 18% of total energy intake. AFHF consumption was higher among men, adults and higher income. 43% of the sample reported AFHF, presenting higher energy intake than non‐consumers (2072 vs. 1802 kcal; p<0.01), even after controlling for age, sex and income (βlog energy=0.09, p<0.01). These findings suggest that the habit of consuming AFHF in Brazil may be linked to adverse health outcomes, in particular, weight gain. Funding: CAPES‐Brazil (PDEE nº6748‐10‐4).

In order to evaluate major food sources of sodium according to income levels in Brazil, day‐1 food records from 34,003 individuals (¡Ã10yrs) investigated in the 2008–2009 Brazilian National Dietary Survey were analyzed. Sodium density (mg/100g) was estimated by dividing the average daily intake of sodium by the daily per capita intake within 31 food groups, according to income quartiles. Weighted analyses were performed and accounted for the complex sampling design. Overall, salty preserved meats (997mg/100), processed meats (974mg/100g), cheeses (883mg/100g), crackers (832mg/100g), oils and condiments (804mg/100g), sandwiches (800 mg/100g), pizzas (729mg/100g), and breads (646mg/100g) presented the highest sodium density. Analysis according to income quartiles showed similar contributions of these food groups to sodium intake among the 2nd and 3rd income quartiles. The most important difference was observed between the 1st and 4th income quartiles. Sodium density of salty preserved meats was twice greater in the 1st income quartile (1017mg/100g) when compared to the 4th quartile (585mg/100g). Processed foods were important source of sodium in Brazilian diet and must be focus of public health policies in an effort to reduce total sodium intake. Founding: CAPES‐Brazil (PDEE 4544‐11‐0).

In order to evaluate major food sources of added, free and total sugars in Brazil according to sex, age and income, day‐1 food records from 34,003 participants (≥10yrs) in the 2008–2009 Brazilian National Dietary Survey were analyzed. Foods were classified into 40 groups according to nutrient profile. The mean percentage of energy intake from total, added and free sugar intake was 19.6%, 13.5% and 18.5%, respectively. Women had higher intake of sugar than men; sugar consumption decreased with age and increased with income quartile. Juices, coffee and soft drinks were the major sources of total, added and free sugar in the Brazilian diet. These three food groups together contributed to 58%, 65% and 73 % of the percent of calories from total, added and free sugar, respectively. For all age‐sex groups those reporting consumption of soft drinks and cookies had higher mean energy intake, indicating these food groups as markers of excessive intake of sugar and energy in the Brazilian population. Our results emphasize the importance of public health efforts to limit sugar sweetened beverage and cookie consumption, particularly among adolescents, as an effort to curb obesity.
