“…Since consumer research showed 20,32 that the pyramid is known because it is on the packages of foods, it is important to ensure that the food processing industry uses the official FBDG. Thus, to ensure 'buy-in' to the FBDG from all sectors is important, while it will be a challenge to overcome conflict of interest and avoid undue influences on FBDG formulation.…”

“…In addition, 10 different manuals for various population groups had been developed at regional level and more than 500 000 leaflets, posters and flyers distributed 19 . Monitoring also takes place through small-scale studies evaluating consumer education programmes 20 and a survey on knowledge about the FBDG among primary health-care professionals. This survey showed that knowledge of the FBDG by health professionals is low, except for nutritionists.…”

Objective: Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) are globally promoted as an important part of national food and nutrition policies. They are presented within policy as key features of the strategy to educate the public and guide policymakers and other stakeholders about a healthy diet. This paper examines the implementation of FBDGs in four countries: Chile, Germany, New Zealand and South Africa -diverse countries chosen to explore the realities of the FBDG within policy on public health nutrition. Design: A literature review was carried out, followed by interviews with representatives from the governmental, academic and private sector in all four countries. Results: In all four countries the FBDG is mainly implemented via written/ electronic information provided to the public through the health and/or education sector. Data about the impact of FBDGs on policy and consumers' food choice or dietary habits are incomplete; nutrition surveys do not enable assessment of how effective FBDGs are as a factor in dietary or behavioural change. Despite limitations, FBDGs are seen as being valuable by key stakeholders. Conclusion: FBDGs are being implemented and there is experience which should be built upon. The policy focus needs to move beyond merely disseminating FBDGs. They should be part of a wider public health nutrition strategy involving multiple sectors and policy levels. Improvements in the implementation of FBDGs are crucial given the present epidemic of chronic, non-communicable diseases. Chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially cardiovascular diseases, cancers, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, kill more people every year than any other cause of death 1 . Four factors in the epidemiology of these diseases -poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco and alcohol use -are of overwhelming importance to public health.To educate the public and inform policy-makers about a healthy diet, for many years food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) have been globally promoted as an important part of national food and nutrition policies. The Plan of Action endorsed at the 1992 International Conference on Nutrition called on governments to provide to the public 'qualitative and/or quantitative dietary guidelines relevant for different age groups and lifestyles and appropriate for the country's population' 2 . Based on this call, many countries have developed FBDGs for the population and/or subgroups of the population. More recently, the 2004 World Health Organization (WHO) Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health 3 encouraged governments to provide FBDGs in order to advise national nutrition policy, nutrition education, intersectoral interventions and collaborations. Effective implementation of FBDGs at population level and in policies is needed in order to contribute to halting the current NCD epidemic. MethodThe information in the present paper is based on a systematised literature review of FBDGs which shaped questions to be asked of key informants responsible for their implementation in di...

OBJETIVO: Conhecer a percepção de responsáveis e recreadores sobre diferentes representações gráficas de guia alimentar para crianças de dois a três anos de idade. MÉTODOS: Estudo qualitativo feito com seis recreadores e 12 responsáveis por crianças de dois a três anos de uma creche pública do Rio de Janeiro. Um questionário sociodemográfico foi aplicado e uma entrevista semi-estruturada, realizada. Mostraram-se cinco representações gráficas (roda, pirâmide, arco-íris, trenzinho e prato) para que os participantes respondessem a perguntas sobre conhecimento dos grupos alimentares, conceito de nutrição (proporcionalidade/moderação e variedade), alimentação saudável e escolhessem a figura que melhor representasse a alimentação saudável. Procedeu-se, então, à análise de conteúdo. RESULTADOS: A maioria dos responsáveis (92%) percebeu o conceito de grupos alimentares com clareza, pois reportou que os guias estavam divididos por alimentos e estes agrupados de acordo com os nutrientes. Os participantes compreenderam o conceito de proporcionalidade/moderação, porém o formato hierarquizado da pirâmide causou dificuldade de interpretação, já que apontaram os grupos no topo como os mais importantes. Os participantes salientaram a importância de incluir na dieta alimentos de todos os grupos, porém o conceito de variedade intragrupo foi compreendido por apenas dois participantes. Os entrevistados elegeram a roda como o ícone que melhor representava a alimentação saudável. CONCLUSÕES: Na elaboração de um guia alimentar, deve-se levar em consideração o entendimento dos conceitos nutricionais por parte dos indivíduos para que os objetivos propostos possam ser atingidos.

“…Específicamente, en el consumo de frutas y verduras no se presentó un incremento en su consumo durante la fase 4. Al respecto, Domper et al (2003) afirmaron que la duración y la frecuencia de los programas nutricionales son factores que pueden influir en su efectividad. Es� tos autores concluyeron que la información nu� tricional es efectiva cuando tiene continuidad temporal.…”

ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el efecto de la información nutricional sobre el consumo de frutas y verduras. Participaron 25 niños entre los 3 y 5 años, expuestos a alimentos con alto y bajo valor nutricio� nal. Los niños fueron divididos en 2 grupos (piloto y experimental) y expuestos a 4 fases. El grupo experi� mental recibió información sobre hábitos alimenticios, valor nutricional de los alimentos y beneficios del con� sumo de frutas y verduras. Los resultados mostraron que la información nutricional modificó la conducta alimentaria, ya que el consumo de alimentos poco nu� tritivos disminuyó. Sin embargo, el consumo de frutas y verduras no se incrementó. Los datos sugieren que la información nutricional influye en la adquisición de conductas alimentarias en niños preescolares, siempre y cuando incluya una duración y frecuencia adecuadas y sea reforzada en casa a través del modelamiento de los familiares.Palabras clave: frutas, verduras, información nutri� cional, consumo, alimentos con alto valor nutricional, alimentos con bajo valor nutricional.
