“…The role of Internet use in high-income farm households in improving dietary structure is significantly greater than that in low-income farm households. Equally, in low-income farm households, dietary diversity and dietary rationality are lower than in high-income farm households, similar to the conclusions of Natalia et al(93).…”

Does Internet use connect smallholder farmers to a healthy diet? Evidence from rural China

IntroductionUndernutrition and micronutrient malnutrition remain problems of significant magnitude among small-scale subsistence farmers, posing a serious threat to their health and well-being. Developing a healthy diet can effectively reduce this threat. Fortunately, the Internet can speed up the process.MethodsBased on survey data from 5,114 farm households in nine provinces in China, this study quantitatively assesses the impact of Internet use on the dietary quality of smallholder farmers using OLS regression models and PSM models.Results/Discussion(1) Internet use can significantly contribute to dietary diversity and dietary rationality among smallholder farmers, thus optimizing their dietary structure. (2) Internet use significantly increased the average consumption amounts of milk and its products (2.9 g), fruits (21.5 g), eggs (7.5 g), and vegetables (27.1 g), while also decreasing the intake of salts (1.5 g) and oil (3.8 g). (3) The pull of internet use to improve diet quality is more significant for smallholder households with lower levels of education, older heads of households, and higher household incomes. (4) A possible mechanism is that Internet use increases household income and information access skills of rural residents, thus improving their dietary quality. In summary, governments should further promote Internet penetration in rural areas for health purposes.

“…The software database was composed of 1 832 food items, and the field agent could include items not found in the database. Measures of the food and drinks reported were converted into units of mass or volume (grams or milliliters) (27) , and energy and nutrient intake was estimated using the Brazilian Food Composition Table (TBCA) v.7.0.

This study evaluated changes in the use of sweeteners over one decade and the relationship between sociodemographics, diet, and weight status with the type of sweetener. Data came from the Brazilian National Dietary Surveys of 2008-2009 and 2017-2018, including ≥10-year-old individuals (n=32,749; n=44,744, respectively, after excluding pregnant and lactating women). The use of table sugar, non-caloric sweeteners [NCS], both, or none was reported through a specific question. Food consumption was assessed using two non-consecutive food records (2008-2009) and 24-hour recalls (2017-2018). For the last survey, means of energy, macro and micronutrient intake, food groups’ contribution (%) to daily energy intake, and age- and energy-adjusted nutrient intake were estimated according to the type of sweetener used. Differences in means and proportions across the categories of sweeteners used were evaluated based on the 95% confidence intervals. All analyses were stratified by sex, and considered sample design and weights. Over ten years, the use of table sugar decreased by 8%, while the habit of not using any sweetener increased almost three times, and the use of NCS remained stable. Larger reductions in the use of table sugar were observed in the highest income level and among men. Regardless of sex, compared to NCS users, table sugar users had greater mean intake of energy, carbohydrates, and added sugar, and lower micronutrient intake means. Although table sugar is still the most used sweetener, the increased choice of “no sweetener” is noteworthy. in Brazil.

Objective Evaluate short stature as a possible explanation for obesity, and identify if consumption of energy, protein, carbohydrate, and lipids were associated to higher risk for obesity in Brazilian adults (20-59 y) living in household food insecurity. Methods Cross-sectional study from 2017/2018 Household Budget Survey (N=28,112). Food insecurity was measured with the Brazilian Household Food Insecurity Measurement Scale. Short stature was used as an indicator of malnutrition at the beginning of life, which characterizes metabolic alterations resulting from the presence of food insecurity (cuts off women ≤149cm; men ≤160cm). Body mass index (kg/m2) was estimated from self-reported weight and body height. The average food intake was estimated from a 24-hr recall. The weighted means and standard error of the food security/insecurity categories were assessed according to height, mean energy intake and protein(g), carbohydrate(g) and lipids(g) intake, stratified by gender and nutritional status. Results Both men and women with obesity and food insecurity had significantly lower average height in comparison with those in food security status (p-value <0.01). The prevalence of obesity 1 (BMI 30-34.9kg/m2) increased significantly with the food insecurity among women. There was a trend towards short stature among obese women from families with food insecurity, as well as lower intake of energy. Among both men and women, the lowest intakes of protein and the highest intake of carbohydrates were observed in the underweight group (BMI <18.5kg/m2). Conclusion In women, the risk of obesity may depend on the metabolic background, since who presents food insecurity and develop obesity have low stature and lower energy intake.
