Hábitos alimentarios y rendimiento académico en escolares chilenos de quinto a octavo año básico Eating habits and school performance in fifth to eighth grade Chilean schoolchildren
Debido a los cambios en los estilos de vida y su reflejo en la prevalencia de malnutrición por exceso a nivel mundial, en Chile (2016) se aprobó la Ley sobre Composición de los Alimentos y su Publicidad. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las actitudes alimentarias en madres de preescolares de distinto nivel socioeconómico y el estado nutricional de sus hijos, frente a la publicidad de alimentos y bebidas a través de distintas formas de promoción comercial, así como su actitud ante la Ley 20.606. Se aplicó una encuesta validada, la cual incluye preguntas sobre las etiquetas en los envases de los alimentos. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variables y se determinó si existía diferencias entre la distribución de las respuestas según NSE mediante la prueba Chi2 .Al consultar los lugares en los que han visto publicidad de alimentos, 72% de las madres refiere haberla visto en los supermercados y 48,5% en internet. Sólo 34, 8% refirió recordar algún comercial en particular, y al solicitarles que especificaran el comercial que recordaban, 45,3% nombró alguna bebida azucarada y 13,6% alguna de yogurt. Respecto a los sellos de advertencia presentes en los envases de los alimentos, 87% declaró que les gustaban o les parecían bien. Sólo 43,6% respondió que había dejado de comprar alimentos con dichos sellos. Estos resultados serán útiles para el diseño de intervenciones específicas para este importante grupo, ya que un cambio positivo en sus conductas actuales podría repercutir en la creación de hábitos saludables en sus hijos e hijas. Due to changes in lifestyles and its reflection on the worldwide prevalence of malnutrition due to excess, in Chile (2016) the Law on Food Composition and its Advertising was approved. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional attitudes of 509 mothers of preschoolers of different socioeconomic levels and the nutritional status of their children, in front of the advertising of food and beverages through different forms of commercial promotion, as well as their attitude towards Law 20,606. A validated survey was applied, which includes questions about labels on food containers. A descriptive analysis of the variables was carried out to determine if there were differences between the distributions of the responses according to the SEL using the Chi2 test. When consulting the places where they have seen the food advertising, 72% of the mothers reported having seen it in the supermarkets and 48.5% on the internet. Only 34, 8% reported to remembering a particular commercial, and when asked to specify the commercial they remembered, 45.3% named a sugary drink and 13.6% some yogurt. Regarding the warning seals present on food containers, 87% stated that they liked them or they seemed good to them. Only 43.6% answered that they have stopped buying foods with these labels. These results will be useful for the design of specific interventions for this important group, since a positive change in their current behaviors could have an impact on the creation of healthy habits in their children
There is insufficient scientific evidence to support the health claims made for these products, especially in the case of product containing Lactobacillus casei.
Background This work is aimed to describe the recent scientific literature developed in the food/beverage sector and social networks aimed at children and adolescents, as well as current regulations. Methods A rapid review of the studies on advertising and social media aimed at children, published from 2010 tp 2020 is carried out, following the established inclusion criteria. In addition, the regulations in the countries in which the studies were carried out were also reviewed. Results Of the 573 articles, 7 met these criteria. The great attraction of unhealthy foods for children is observed, who remembered and recognized a greater number of unhealthy food brands and, by extension, the ability to influence of communication in social networks. Each country has its own self-regulation, two (Ireland and USA) have legislation on children’s food advertising, and Australia has legislation that applies only to open television. However, none of the analyzed countries have specific regulations on food, children and media advertising. Conclusions Given the fact that there is evidence about the great attraction that social networks suppose for the child, that they are a stimulus for the consumption of food and that many of these foods are harmful to their health; we should work in two directions: 1) Promote public policies based on promoting healthy habits among minors; and 2) Monitor and implement regulations in commercial communication social media.
