A B S T R A C T ObjectiveEstimate the intake of phenolic compounds by the Brazilian population. MethodsTo estimate the average per capita food consumption, micro data from the National Dietary Survey and from the Household Budget Survey from 2008 to 2009 was analyzed. The phenolic content in food was estimated from the base of Phenol-Explorer. It was chosen according to compatibility and variety of food items and usual method of preparation. ResultsThe Brazilian population consumed, on average, 460.15 mg/day of total phenolic compounds, derived mainly from beverages (48.9%), especially coffee and legumes (19.5%). Since this analysis of classes of phenolics it was possible to observe an intake of 314 mg/day of phenolic acids, 138.92 mg/day of flavonoids and 7.16 mg/ day of other kinds of phenolics. Regarding the variables studied this present study shows that those men who live in the countryside and in the northeastern region of the country had a higher consumption of phenolic compounds. Besides, consumption was higher by adults and the elderly, the medium income classes, the population with incomplete and complete primary education and those with adequate nutrition and also overweight status. ConclusionThe intake of phenolic compounds can be considered low, especially where consumption of fruit and vegetables is insufficient. We can conclude that coffee and black beans were the best contributors to phenolic intake.

Introduction:The study of dietary antioxidants has gained prominence owing to the elucidation of the deleterious effects of oxidative stress to the human body. Objective: To evaluate the Brazilian population's intake of antioxidant nutrients and their association with the nutritional status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out including secondary data on food consumption of 33,459 individuals from both sexes, aged 10 years or older, from all Brazilian regions based on microdata of the "2008-2009 Household Budget Survey, Brazilian Dairy Survey." The content of vitamins E, A, and C; zinc; manganese; copper; and selenium from 188 food items, divided into 12 groups, according to the habitual consumption form was analyzed. The means of antioxidant nutrient intake according to the nutritional status were compared using Bonferroni's t-test. Results: Higher percentages of insufficient intake of vitamins than antioxidant minerals were seen. A significant difference in the intake of vitamin E as to the nutritional status was noticed, wherein the intake in overweight individuals was lower than in those with proper weight. Participants with low weight presented lower intake of almost all antioxidant minerals, except for copper, in which the intake of participants with low weight was equal to those with normal weight. Conclusion: High percentages of insufficient intake of antioxidant nutrients were observed in the studied population, especially vitamins. It was also found that the intake of antioxidant nutrients varied based on nutritional status, gender, and life stage.

The objective of this narrative review, with a systematic survey, was to investigate the impact of social isolation on food (eating habits) during the 2019 Coronavirus disease pandemic. A retrieval of studies published from January 1st, 2019 to June 18th, 2020 was carried out in the PubMed, Web of Science and Embase databases. The screening was structured using the terms corresponding to Coronavirus disease 2019, social isolation and food. All steps were carried out independently by three reviewers. Twelve studies were included, totaling 20,789 people assessed, with a predominance of cross-sectional studies of adult population. The studies reviewed had been carried out in Italy (n=4), Spain (n=2), Poland (n=1), China (n=1), India (n=1), United States of America (n=1), South Africa (n=1) and in a continental multicenter (n=1). The analysis of the studies included showed that most people reported that they did not change their usual diet; in addition, an increase in cooking habits, consumption of fruits and vegetables and a decrease in the consumption of alcoholic beverages was observed. A decrease in fish consumption and an increase in comfort foods were also reported. It was found that food habits changed in times of social isolation. We suggest that new investigations be carried out in different socioeconomic and demographic frameworks. We propose to continue the study on this theme, with a systematic review with or without meta-analysis.

Tem sido observado no Brasil o aumento das refeições realizadas fora do domicílio e a importância dos antioxidantes da dieta para a prevenção das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a contribuição da alimentação fora do domicílio para a ingestão de nutrientes antioxidantes da população brasileira. Foram utilizados os dados do registro alimentar de um dia de 34.003 brasileiros, descritos na Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares 2008-2009. Avaliou-se a ingestão de vitaminas A, C e E, e minerais zinco, selênio, cobre e manganês, sendo utilizadas tabelas de composição de alimentos nacionais e internacional. Os dados foram organizados e analisados pelo software Microsoft Excel ® 2010 e programa Bioestat ® versão 5.3. A participação das refeições fora do domicílio para a ingestão de nutrientes antioxidantes foi baixa (10%), sendo o per capita de 27,8µg para vitamina A, 8,97mg para vitamina C, 0,57mg para vitamina E, 1,37mg para zinco, 10,13µg para selênio, 0,15mg para cobre e 0,32mg para manganês. Os grupos alimentares que mais contribuíram para a ingestão de nutrientes antioxidantes fora do domicílio foram as frutas, legumes e verduras, carnes e ovos, leguminosas e cereais. Devido ao crescimento das refeições fora do domicilio é fundamental incentivar à ingestão de nutrientes antioxidantes, por meio desse tipo de refeição.Palavras-chave: consumo alimentar, alimentação fora do domicílio, antioxidantes, vitaminas, minerais. Contribution of eating outside the home to the intake of antioxidant nutrients in BrazilHas been observed in Brazil the increase in outside home meals and the importance of dietary antioxidants in the prevention of chronic non-transmitted diseases. The objective of the study was to evaluate the contribution of outside home meals for the intake antioxidant nutrients of the Brazilian population. Were utilized the data of one day food records of 34.003 people, which was described the Family Budget Survey 2008-2009. It was evaluated the ingestion of vitamins A, C and E, and minerals zinc, selenium, copper and manganese, utilizing national and international tables of food composition. The data were analysed and organized with the software Microsoft Excel®2010 and Bioestat® program version 5.3. The participation of outside home meals to the intake antioxidant nutrients was low (10%), and the per capita: 27,8 µg to vitamin A, 8,97 mg to vitamin C, 0,57 mg to vitamin E,
