“…The study's findings support the idea of a nutritional transition in Brazil in recent decades and may represent changes in adolescent diet during a period of major changes in the country's social and economic scenario, marked by economic growth, improved income redistribution, and increased purchasing power among poorer classes 40,41 . The results of the current study indicate that interventions for adolescents should focus on promoting fresh foods and discouraging consumption of ultra-processed food products, especially those with high added sugar and solid fats.…”

A queda na qualidade da alimentação dos adolescentes brasileiros: um estudo de painel em Niterói, Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, 2003-2008 La caída en la calidad de la alimentación de los adolescentes brasileños: un estudio de panel en Niterói, Estado de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, 2003Brasil, -2008 "total vegetables", "dark green and orange vegetables", and "meat, eggs, and legumes", but there was an increase in the score for "milk and dairy " (4.0 vs. 5.2; p < 0.01). Among female adolescents, the BHEI-R decreased (64.1 vs. 62.4; p = 0.04), as did the scores attributed to "total vegetables", "dark green and orange vegetables", "meat, eggs, and legumes", and "solid fat, alcohol, and added sugar". In contrast, among males, only the "whole grains" score decreased (0.2 vs. 0.1; p = 0.04). From 2003 p = 0.04). From to 2008, the diet quality of female public school students declined in Niterói.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the dietary quality of adults and to identify associated factors. METHODS: Cross-sectional study carried out in a sample of adults (n=195), aged 20-50 years, of both genders, from a population-based study in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Food consumption data was collected by a food frequency questionnaire. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, anthropometric, and body composition data were also collected. Diet quality was analyzed by the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised. The associations were estimated by Poisson regression. RESULTS: The mean Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised score was 75.2 points (CI95%=74.2-76.1), which differed significantly between the genders (p=0.03). Women had higher scores for whole fruit and sodium (p<0.01), while men had higher scores for oils, nuts, and fish fat (p=0.02). Individuals aged >30 years had higher total Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised score and higher scores for the groups whole fruit; saturated fat; and calories from solid fats, alcoholic beverages, and added sugar (p<0.01). The Poisson regression between high Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised and the independent variables showed that high Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised was associated with being female, being aged 30 years or more, and being from families whose household head had 8 or more years of formal education. CONCLUSION: The factors associated with high Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised were age, gender, and education level of the household head.

Portuguese / English: www.scielo.br/reeusp RESUMO A sociedade brasileira vivencia, além da desnutrição e fome, problemas relacionados à obesidade -a transição nutricional. Este trabalho é um estudo transversal com amostra de 1322 crianças menores de 10 anos, residentes no município de Ferros, Minas Gerais, e cadastradas no SISVAN. Observou-se que 20,7% das crianças apresentaram alguma alteração nutricional (10,1% risco nutricional, 3,8% desnutrição e 6,7% sobrepeso). Fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de desnutrição foram pesquisados: baixo peso ao nascer, RP=3,57, IC 95% (1,96-6,52); baixa estatura RP=19,36, IC 95% (11,53-32,52); aleitamento materno ausente RP=2,23, IC 95% (1,19-4,18); renda familiar de até R$ 95, RP = 2,39, IC 95% (1,10-5,16). Destaca-se maior prevalência de sobrepeso em relação à desnutrição. Enquanto a população rural apresentou maior prevalência de desnutrição e risco nutricional, a urbana destacouse pelo sobrepeso. Esses resultados são importantes para mostrar que intervenções nutricionais são necessárias e devem considerar os problemas específicos apontados. DESCRITORES ABSTRACTBrazil is going through problems with obesity as well as malnutrition and starvation -the nutritional transition. This is a cross sectional study with a sample of 1322 children under 10 years of age, residents in Ferros, Minas Gerais, Brazil, enrolled in SISVAN. Results showed that: 20.7% of children had nutritional disorder (10.1% nutritional risk, 3.8% malnourished and 6.7% overweight risk). Malnutrition risk factors were also identified: low birth-weight, RP=3.57, IC 95% (1.96-6.52); stunting, RP=19.36, IC 95% (11.53-32.52); no breastfeeding, RP=2.23, IC 95% (1.19-4.18); family income below R$ 95, RP=2.39, IC 95% (1.10-5.16). Prevalence for overweight was higher than for malnutrition. While the rural population presented higher prevalence for nutritional risk and malnutrition, in the urban area there was higher prevalence of risk for overweight. These results show the need for specific nutritional interventions according to the specific issues identified.
