“…Among these, Wendap et al [43] obtained a mean BHEI-R score higher than that of this research (75.1 points), while Previdelli et al [10] found a lower mean (47.1 points). In a population-based study, the mean BHEI-R of adolescents was closer to that of this research (52.4 points) [46]. Considering the maximum BHEI-R score of 100 points, the diet quality of the respondents was unsatisfactory.…”

Objective Analyzing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its association with adolescent diet quality. Methods Cross-sectional research with 327 adolescents from public and private high schools of Teresina, Piauí. Socioeconomic, anthropometric, and food consumption data were analyzed to obtain the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised. Moreover, data related to metabolic syndrome (blood glucose, blood pressure, waist circumference, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) were also analyzed. Continuous variables were described by means, standard deviations, and 95% confi dence intervals. To verify the association between dependent and explanatory variables, we calculated the adjusted odds ratio. The level of signifi cance was set at p<0.05. Results The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 3.3%, with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration being the most frequent alteration (50.5%). The mean score on the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised was 55.4 points. The worst scores were obtained in whole cereals, dark-green and orange vegetables, oils, milk and dairy products, and whole fruits. In contrast, total cereals, meat, eggs, and legumes had scores close to the maximum stipulated. The lowest tertile of dark-green, orange, and leguminous vegetables showed risk for low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the second tertile was protective against high blood glucose levels. As for the milk group, its lower intake increased the chances for high triglyceride and blood pressure levels. Conclusion Despite the low prevalence of metabolic syndrome, there were significant alterations in its components,associated with less consumption of important Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised items.

“…However, some studies with adults and older adults have reported higher BHEI score for women [9,10]. Assumpção et al [10] found that women consumed more vegetables, fruits, and milk and less sodium, meat, saturated fat, alcohol, and added sugar, when compared to men. The diet quality similarity found between female and male individuals living in São Caetano do Sul can be explained by the fact that most of the older adults studied were married and retired, and thus they probably had meals together with their spouses.…”

“…A similar result was found by Morimoto et al [11], who justified that individuals with higher education level may have higher income and better knowledge about food. Assumpção et al [10] observed that individuals with higher education level had higher BHEI score for the components whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and milk and other dairy products.…”

“…Some studies [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] have identified factors that can influence dietary choices and diet quality, especially socio-demographic, economic, anthropometric factors, as well as lifestyle, and health conditions. Taking into account the current scenario and the importance of determining and monitoring the diet quality of this age group, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the factors associated with diet quality of older adults in the municipality of São Caetano do Sul (SP).…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveEvaluate the factors associated with diet quality of older adults from the city of São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo, Brazil. MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 295 older adults receiving care in health care units in São Caetano do Sul. Diet quality was assessed using the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index. The associations between the diet quality mean score and the socio-demographic, economic, and anthropometric characteristics and lifestyle and health conditions were verified using multiple linear regression. ResultsLower diet quality mean score were associated with the variables: marital status (widowed or separated) (β=-2.02; p=0.047), retired (β=-4.24; p=0.034), and smoking (β=-8.06; p=0.001); whereas higher diet quality mean score were associated with higher education level (9 years or more) (β=3.49; p=0.013). ConclusionIndividuals with higher education level had better diet quality, and those who were widowed or separated, retired, and smokers had worse diet quality indicating that socio-demographic, economic, and lifestyle are factors that can influence food choice of older adults.

Brazilian Children’s Dietary Intake in Relation to Brazil’s New Nutrition Guidelines: a Systematic Review

Purpose of Review This systematic review reports the latest scientific evidence, from cross-sectional and cohort studies, describing the dietary intake of children and adolescents from Brazil. The goal of the review was to describe intakes according to Brazil's new food classification system (NOVA) which classifies foods according to the degree of processing, i.e., unprocessed/minimally processed, processed culinary ingredients, processed food, and ultra-processed food. Due to a paucity of data using the NOVA classification system, studies with other intake descriptors were included. Recent Findings Results using the NOVA system showed a somewhat high intake of (ultra-)processed items, than of minimally processed items. Studies using other methods of dietary assessment showed not only high intake of sources rich in fat, sugar, and sodium, most of them processed items (e.g., savory snacks and sweets) but also intake of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Overall, the literature was marred by inconsistencies and variation in study definitions and methods making it hard to make firm conclusions regarding the dietary intake of Brazilian children. Summary The development of tools to evaluate the complexities of dietary intake is much needed. Such a tool needs to be accepted and adopted by numerous study groups, to describe dietary status among Brazilian children and devise the most effective, and to evaluate the success of nutrition education programs.
