“…No comparisons were carried out with the BMI of elderly people. Viebig et al (2009) 32 also found similar results for intake among 2,066 elderly residents in Sao Paulo: only 19.8% reported daily consumption of fi ve or more servings of FV. The study also cites other literature results, with reports of adequate consumption in about 20% of the elderly population only in the city of São Paulo.…”

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...

“…O nível de escolaridade identificado foi o curso superior completo (32,5%). A renda familiar foi caracterizada entre 2 a 3 salários mínimos (37,5%), indicando que o crescimento do consumo de hortaliças ocorre quando há um aumento da renda das famílias, concordando com Viebig et al (2009), que observaram que cerca de 35,0% dos idosos de baixa renda em São Paulo não consumiam diariamente nenhum tipo de fruta ou hortaliça, em função do preço mais elevado se comparado a uma refeição constituída por alimentos mais populares, a exemplo do arroz e feijão. Silva (2013) também comprovou que a decisão de consumo de frutas e hortaliças está relacionada com o nível de renda familiar, com notável discrepância entre os domicílios pobres e ricos, sendo que produtos como alface, repolho, cenoura, beterraba e tomate está fora das possibilidades dos lares mais pobres, principalmente pelo alto valor e insuficiência de renda.…”

Resumo: A preocupação com a contaminação dos alimentos por resíduos de agrotóxicos têm motivado mudanças nas técnicas de manejo agrícola, com destaque para a produção orgânica. Porém, uma grande parcela da população ainda desconhece a definição de alimento orgânico, seus benefícios e suas características, havendo muitas distorções acerca do assunto. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se realizar a avaliação do nível de conhecimento e consumo da população do município de Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul, sobre os produtos oriundos da agricultura orgânica, através de entrevista qualitativa e quantitativa a partir da aplicação de questionário fechado, direcionado a diferentes grupos sociais, como comerciários, estudantes e funcionários públicos da zona central. Os resultados evidenciaram que o perfil do consumidor de produtos orgânicos é predominantemente feminino (62,5%), com grau de escolaridade superior completo (32,5%), de classe social média (37,5%), que estão em busca de uma melhor qualidade de vida, preservação da saúde e por busca de um alimento saudável. Como entraves ao consumo, destaca-se o preço final no mercado de varejo, a falta de divulgação dos benefícios e a pequena variedade de alimentos orgânicos ofertados. Constata-se que no município existe um mercado promissor para a comercialização dos produtos orgânicos, que poderá ser melhor explorado via difusão de informações à população e melhor exposição nas gôndolas dos mercados e das feiras livres. Palavras-chave: Mercado de hortaliças; Perfil de consumidor; Produção orgânica de alimentos.

“…Estar desnutrido, como observado, provavelmente é consequência de um inadequado consumo alimentar de todos grupos de alimentos, não apenas de frutas. 28 No que se refere às frutas mais consumidas, no estudo de Viebig et al 29 foram encontrados resultados semelhantes: banana (41,0%), laranja (30,4%); e as frutas nunca consumidas foram abacaxi (87,0%) e abacate (94,5%). As escolhas por essas frutas podem ser decorrentes de fatores como dificuldade de mastigação, preço, disponibilidade, acesso físico e orientações médicas, que, consequentemente, interferem na ingestão alimentar.…”
