“…This finding is concerning and indicates the need of creating and reassessing strategies that focus on a healthier diet for this population. Low fruit and vegetable intake in schoolchildren was also found by another Brazilian cross-sectional study of 390 adolescents aged 10 to 17 years conducted by Toral et al 28 in Piracicaba (SP), which reported that roughly 28% of the adolescents did not reach the minimum intake of 3 servings of fruits and 3 servings of vegetables a day, as recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health's "Brazilian Food Guide" 17 .…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of the fruit and vegetable intake of schoolchildren aged 7 to 14 years from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, and analyze the associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed food intake, socioeconomic, and biological data of 2,836 schoolchildren. The Chi-square test analyzed the dependent (fruit and vegetable intake) and independent variables; the latter with p-value <0.20 were selected for logistic regression analysis. The level of significance was p<0.05. Results: Only 4.8% of the sample had adequate fruit and vegetable intake. The variables associated with adequate fruit and vegetable intake were school ownership status (private versus public), mother's education level, and family income per member. After adjustment only family income per capita remained associated with fruit and vegetable intake. Conclusion: The fruit and vegetable intake of schoolchildren aged 7 to 14 years from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, is inadequate.

“…3,11,12,14 Lack of reliability of nutritional information on labels may become bias when estimating consumption data and also compromise the identifi cation of associations between diet factors and physiopathological factors involved with obesity and non-communicable chronic diseases. Non-compliance of nutritional data stated on labels violates RDC 360/03 regulations and the rights guaranteed by nutritional and food safety a and consumer protection laws.…”

OBJECTIVE:To assess reliability of information about nutritional facts stated on labels of industrialized foods. METHODS:A total of 153 industrialized foods, usually consumed by children and adolescents and marketed in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, between 2001 and 2005, were analyzed. Nutrient contents stated on labels were compared to the results obtained from offi cial (physical-chemical) analytical methods, considering the 20% variability tolerated by the current legislation to approve or reject samples. Means, standard deviations, 95% confi dence intervals for the nutrients analyzed, and the distribution of percentage frequency of samples rejected were calculated. RESULTS:All salty products analyzed showed non-compliance of dietary fi ber, sodium and saturated fat content. Sweet products showed variation between zero and 36% of rejection due to their dietary fi ber content. More than half (52%) of cookies were rejected due to their saturated fat content. Nutrients associated with obesity and its health problems were those showing the highest proportions of non-compliance. Lack of reliability of label information in the samples analyzed violates the regulations of the Resolution of the Collegiate Board of Directors RDC 360/03 and the rights guaranteed by the Nutritional and Food Safety Law and Consumer Protection Code. CONCLUSIONS:High indices of non-compliance of nutritional data were found on labels of foods aimed at children and adolescents, indicating the urgent need for surveillance practices and other nutritional labeling measures.

“…Prevalence under 30% has been reported in studies with teenagers independent of age and methods for evaluating consumption 7,9,17,18,19 . Two studies that evaluated 341 teenagers between 11 and 14 years in public schools in Curitiba 9 and 431 adolescents with an average of 12 years of age in public school of Piracicaba (SP) 20 , observed a prevalence of 29% and 28% of fruit consumption of more than 3 servings per day, respectively. The traditional cohort of Pellets 21 showed that only 28.2% of 3,990 adolescents evaluated (between 14 and 15 years) consumed at least 1 serving of fruit daily.…”

Introduction: Obesity affects more than half of the adult population and correlates with the development of chronic and psychosocial diseases. The consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) is a protective factor for obesity, but their consumption is often below the recommendations. Objective:To identify the level of fruit consumption in human development cycles, as well as the data on the association of fruit consumption with excess weight in Brazil. Methods:A non-systematic literature review on the Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases for the period 2005 to 2015. A total of 23 studies were selected in the English and Portuguese languages, according to the study design and population group. Only cohorts and cross sections studies in Brazil were selected. Appropriate FV consumption was considered to be 400 g/day or a frequency of 5 servings/day (3 servings/day of fruits), and overweight was evaluated according to each age group and development cycle. Results:The average consumption for pregnant women was found to be 350 g/day; an inverse relationship was found between total fi bre consumption and gestational weight gain. The average consumption of FV for children and adolescents has remained between 30% and 40%, consumption falling with increasing age. Vigitel data between 2006 and 2014 shows an increase in the prevalence of adequate consumption of FV for adults and seniors according to gender, age and education. Appropriate consumption tripled during this period. There was an association between fruit consumption and weight loss, increased risk of obesity, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia and presence of metabolic syndrome (SM). Conclusions:The prevalence of adequate consumption of FV is low in all regions of Brazil and among all age groups, the highest prevalence is among women and increases with the advance of age, higher education level and higher socioeconomic status. Adequate fruit consumption correlates to weight loss and/or weight gain control of individuals. INTRODUCTIONObesity is characterized by the chronic accumulation of fat tissue, regionalized or widespread, a combination of genetic factors, environmental and behavioural factors 1 . The National Survey on Health (NSH/PNS), shows that 57% of the population over 18 years old in Brazil presents as overweight 2 . The Food and Nutrition Monitoring System (FNMS/SISVAN) describes the prevalence of overweight in 15% of the population under six years of age, and there is evidence that the evolution of the median weight exceeds WHO standards, tending to overweight in a comparison between the following surveys: Familial Income National Study (FINS/ENDEF), Health and Nutrition National Study (HNNS/PNSN) and Familial Incomes Research (FIR/POF). The same is observed in other national studies such as Nutri-Brazil Childhood 1 .Excess weight has a strong correlation with the development of metabolic syndrome and other chronic diseases, increasing the risk of orthopaedic, pulmonary, Among the protective factors for overweight, the consumption of fr...
