The revised version of the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index is an indicator of dietary quality developed according to current nutritional recommendations. Dietary data were obtained from a population-based survey, the 2003 Inquérito de Saúde e Alimentação (ISA -Health and Diet Survey)-Capital. The Revised Index consists of 12 components: nine food groups included in the 2006 Brazilian Dietary Guidelines, in which daily portions are expressed in terms of energy density; two nutrients (sodium and saturated fats), and SoFAAS (calories from solid fat, alcohol and added sugar). The Revised Brazilian Healthy Eating Index allows for the measurement of dietary risk factors for chronic diseases, evaluating and monitoring the diet at both individual and population levels.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze fruit and vegetable intake in adolescents and to identify associated factors. METHODS:A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of 812 adolescents of both sexes in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, in 2003. Food consumption was measured with the 24-hour dietary recall. Fruit and vegetable intake was described in percentiles. Quantile regression models were used to investigate the association between this intake and explanatory variables. RESULTS:Of all adolescents interviewed, 6.4% consumed the minimum recommendation of 400 g/day of fruits and vegetables and 22% did not consume any type of fruits and vegetables. According to quantile regression models, adjusted for energy intake, age group and sex, per capita household income and head of household's level of education were positively associated with fruit and vegetable intake, whereas smoking habit showed a negative association. Income was signifi cantly associated with lower intake percentiles (p20 to p55); smoking, with intermediate percentiles (p45 to p75); and head of household's level of education, with higher percentiles (p70 to 95). CONCLUSIONS:Fruit and vegetable intake among adolescents of São Paulo was below the Ministry of Health's recommendations and it is infl uenced by per capita household income, head of family's level of education and smoking habit.

Objective: To investigate added sugar intake, main dietary sources and factors associated with excessive intake of added sugar. Methods: A population-based household survey was carried out in São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil. Cluster sampling was performed and the study sample comprised 689 adults and 622 elderly individuals. Dietary intake was estimated based on a 24-hour food recall. Usual nutrient intake was estimated by correcting for the within-person variance of intake using the Iowa State University (ISU) method. Linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with added sugar intake. Results: Average of energy intake (EI) from added sugars was 9.1% (95% CI: 8.9%; 9.4%) among adults and 8.4% (95% CI: 8.2%; 8.7%) among the elderly (p < 0.05). Average added sugar intake (% EI) was higher among women than among men (p < 0.05). Soft drink was the main source of added sugar among adults, while table sugar was the main source of added sugar among the elderly. Added sugar intake increased with age among adults. Moreover, higher socioeconomic level was associated with added sugar intake in the same group. Conclusions: Added sugar intake is higher among younger adults of higher socioeconomic level. Soft drink and table sugar accounted for more than 50% of the sugar consumed.Keywords: Added sugars. Food intake. Soft drink. Survey. Adults. Elderly. IntroductionThe new dietary pattern is characterized by high intake of energy, saturated fats and sugars and low intake of complex carbohydrates and fibers. This diet plays a role as a predisposing risk factor for chronic diseases 1 . The literature reports untoward effects from added sugar consumption on health, especially when consumed in large amounts. One of the adverse effects from sugar intake is dental caries, especially when associated with other factors such as genetics, poor oral hygiene, number of meals and fluoride exposure. Some studies show that energy from sugars is related to excessive weight gain and dilution of other nutrients [1][2][3] . Sugars can be added to foods during processing or preparation to improve palatability and increase viscosity, texture, color and durability. Added sugars refer to refined sugar, brown sugar, corn and glucose syrups, fructose-based sweeteners, honey and molasses 4 . Based on the World Health Organization (WHO), the Brazilian Food Guide recommends a dietary sugar intake that provides no more than 10% of energy intake (EI) 3,5 . Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane but few surveys have been published on Brazilian dietary sugar intake.T h e Ho u s e h o l d Bu d g e t Su r v e y (2008/2009) showed that consumption of sugars remained at 16.4% of energy intake in the past five years. The maximum of 10% of energy intake from sugars is largely overcome in all socioeconomic levels 6 . The objective of the present study was to investigate the main food sources of added sugars among adults and elderly individuals living in the city of São Paulo and the factors associated with e...

Trans fatty acid intake among the population of the city of São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract: The trans fatty acid intake is above the level recommended by the World Health Organization. Replacement of the trans fatty acids in manufactured food items may be an effective measure for reducing trans fatty acid intake in Brazil.
