Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To estimate the magnitude and distribution of sodium intake in Brazil and to identify major dietary sources contributing to this intake. METHODS:Estimates were based on data from a Brazilian household budget survey carried out between July 2002 and June 2003. A total of 969,989 food purchase records from a probabilistic sample of 48,470 households located in 3,984 census tracts across the country were analyzed. Purchase records were converted into nutrients using food composition charts. Mean sodium … Show more

Adensando o conhecimento sobre as implicações desse padrão alimentar, um estudo aplicou o critério do grau de processamento dos alimentos com o objetivo de conhecer a relação entre consumo alimentar de adolescentes e prevalência de síndrome metabólica, concluindo que um elevado consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados esteve associado ao desfecho no grupo avaliado 37 .…”
