Elevada prevalência de inadequação do consumo de fibras alimentares em idosos e fatores associados: um estudo de base populacional

“…Claro et al evaluated the influence of income and food prices on the presence of fruits and vegetables in household food consumption based on data from the 1998-1999 POF in the city of São Paulo, and stated that the group of fruits and vegetables presented average cost of R$ 4.07/1,000 Kcal against R$ 2.39/1,000 Kcal for all other foods, indicating that increasing family income or reducing the relative price of fruit and vegetables would be possible ways to increase the insertion of these foods one's diet 28 . In addition, Damiani et al still argue that schooling influences the choice of healthy foods, since it can mean access to better opportunities for employment, income and information 29 .…”

Consumo de frutas, legumes e verduras e associação com hábitos de vida e estado nutricional: um estudo prospectivo em uma coorte de idosos

“…This difference in measure may have led to the researchers to underestimate the F&V consumption by the elderly of the study. However, other studies have previously used measures in the form of frequency without considering the size of portions of fruits and vegetables, which are quite common in the literature 10,12 . In addition, the survey did not investigate further details about the use of the Internet, such as the frequency of access and the quality of the information sources that are used.…”

“…Among the factors that determine the inadequate consumption, the sociodemographic factors are widely reported in the literature. Higher age, lower education and income influence the lower F&V consumption [11][12][13][14][15] . Evidence also indicates that healthy eating habits coexist with other healthy behaviours.…”

“…Evidence also indicates that healthy eating habits coexist with other healthy behaviours. It is believed that individuals who are more concerned about health, weight maintenance and physical activity consume F&V more regularly 11,12,16 . On the other hand, smoking and alcohol consumption are associated with less healthy diet 17 .…”

“…We found few national studies conducted with the elderly [11][12][13][14] and no prospective studies that assessed F&V consumption over the years. Obtaining accurate data on food consumption is a complex task in population studies.…”
