“…The combination of such information can assist in conducting effective interventions aimed at improving the quality of diets among Brazilian adolescents, which is considered low overall. 15 The study has some limitations. Because it is a cross-sectional study, we cannot rule out the possibility of reverse causality.…”

“…19,20 To analyze the quality of adolescents' diet, the DQIA-BR was used, an instrument adapted for the Brazilian population based on the European adolescents' quality of diet quality (DQI-A). 15,21 The DQIA-BR analyzes balance, diversity, and composition of diet, which are the three principles of healthy eating, 15 and does not consider the degree of food processing in its classification.…”

“…The use of these indexes follows the epidemiological tendency of assessing dietary patterns instead of nutrients in isolation, because it can better represent the diet and its impact on the health of populations. 13,14 Recently, Ronca et al 15 proposed the quality of diet index of Brazilian adolescents (DQIA-BR), an adaptation of an European index for the Brazilian food culture.…”

“…More information on the construction of DQIA-BR can be found in another publication. 15 Anthropometric measurements were performed with participants wearing light clothing and without shoes. Height was measured with a portable stadiometer (Alturexata ® , Minas Gerais, Brazil), and body weight was measured with a digital scale (model P150m, 200 kg capacity, Líder ® , São Paulo, Brazil).…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between body weight perception and quality of diet among Brazilian adolescents. Methods: The sample was composed of 71,740 adolescents aged from 12 to 17 years-old enrolled in the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (Estudo de Riscos Cardiovasculares em Adolescentes - ERICA), carried out during 2013-2014. Body weight perception was self-reported. Food consumption was assessed by food record and quality of diet index for Brazilian adolescents (DQIA-BR) was calculated, considering the balance, diversity, and diet composition. The quality of diet was compared according to weight perception for the entire sample and after stratification by nutritional status. Linear regression models were used to assess the association between body weight perception and quality of diet. Results: Among the studied adolescents, 14.7 and 30.3% reported to be underweight or overweight in relation to their desired weight, respectively. Those who perceived themselves as overweight had lower quality of diet (DQIA-BR=16.0 vs. 17.4 points; p<0.001). After stratification by BMI, adolescents with normal weight (DQIA-BR=15.3 points) or overweight (DQIA-BR=16.1 points), but who perceived themselves as overweight showed lower quality of diet when compared to their peers. In adjusted analysis, overweight perception (β= -0.51; 95%CI -0.77; -0.24) was associated to lower quality of diet. However, this association was no longer significant after stratification by BMI status. Conclusions: Body weight perception can influence the consumption of healthy foods and the quality of diet, especially for those who consider themselves overweight. However, this association is influenced by nutritional status.

“…Souza et al [36] showed that the diet of Brazilian adolescents was generally characterized by high sugar intake through the consumption of sweetened beverages and processed foods, which were associated with high intake of sodium, saturated fatty acids, and free sugar. Ronca et al [39] concluded that the overall diet quality of Brazilian adolescents needs urgent improvements since the values of all dietary index components (quality, diversity, and equilibrium) were below half of their ideal scores, regardless of geographic region and socioeconomic status.…”

Objective To estimate the usual consumption of fruits and vegetables by Brazilian adolescents. Methods We used 24-hour dietary recall data from the Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents conducted in 2013-2014 with 71,740 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old. The usual consumption of fruits and vegetables was estimated in the Statistical Analysis Software using the model of the United States National Cancer Institute, and evaluated according to sex, age, place of residence, economic class, and nutritional status of the participants. Results The mean of usual fruit and vegetable consumption was estimated at 171g/day, mostly fruits (128g/day), mainly in the form of fruit juice (64.8%). The minimum fruit and vegetable consumption of 400g/day recommended by the World Health Organization was reached only by 2% of the adolescents. The adolescents’ socioeconomic class or nutritional status had no impact on the usual fruit and vegetable consumption, but adolescents from northern Brazil had a significantly lower consumption than those from the midwestern region. Orange was both the most consumed fruit on a daily basis (mean of 42.6g/day, 90% as juice) and the most reported fruit (by 12.7% of the adolescents), followed by apples (10g/day; 5.6%) and bananas (8.4g/day; 8.3%). Tomato was the most consumed vegetable (9.2g/day), reported by 11.5% of the adolescents. Conclusion Public health policies are necessary to encourage fruit and vegetable consumption among Brazilian adolescents, including of pure juice, essential foods to prevent chronic diseases in adulthood.
