“…Smoking individuals had lower BHEI score, similar to the findings reported in other studies [7,12,20,21]. Although not very frequent in the studied population, this habit significantly affected diet quality, and several studies [12,21] have reported an association between lower intake of foods such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products among smokers.…”

“…Some studies [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] have identified factors that can influence dietary choices and diet quality, especially socio-demographic, economic, anthropometric factors, as well as lifestyle, and health conditions. Taking into account the current scenario and the importance of determining and monitoring the diet quality of this age group, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the factors associated with diet quality of older adults in the municipality of São Caetano do Sul (SP).…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveEvaluate the factors associated with diet quality of older adults from the city of São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo, Brazil. MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 295 older adults receiving care in health care units in São Caetano do Sul. Diet quality was assessed using the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index. The associations between the diet quality mean score and the socio-demographic, economic, and anthropometric characteristics and lifestyle and health conditions were verified using multiple linear regression. ResultsLower diet quality mean score were associated with the variables: marital status (widowed or separated) (β=-2.02; p=0.047), retired (β=-4.24; p=0.034), and smoking (β=-8.06; p=0.001); whereas higher diet quality mean score were associated with higher education level (9 years or more) (β=3.49; p=0.013). ConclusionIndividuals with higher education level had better diet quality, and those who were widowed or separated, retired, and smokers had worse diet quality indicating that socio-demographic, economic, and lifestyle are factors that can influence food choice of older adults.

“…Em pesquisa que avaliou a qualidade global da dieta e o desempenho físico de indivíduos com 60 anos e mais, participantes do NHANES 1999-2002 33 , foi constatada associação entre pontuações globais mais elevadas do HEI-2005 com maior velocidade de marcha e maior força extensora do joelho. No Brasil, resultados do Vigitel 2010 mostram que a prevalência de atividade física no lazer em indivíduos com 65 anos e mais é de 12,2% (IC95%: 10,7-13,8), com diferencial significativo entre homens (16,6%; IC95%: 13,7-19,6) e mulheres (9,4%; IC95%: 7,7-11,1) 1 .…”

Qualidade da dieta e fatores associados entre idosos: estudo de base populacional em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil

et al. 2014

O objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade da dieta de idosos segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, comportamentos relativos à saúde e morbidades. Trata-se de estudo transversal de base populacional em amostra de 1.509 idosos, obtida por inquérito de saúde conduzido em 2008-2009, em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil. A qualidade alimentar foi avaliada pelo Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado (IQD-R). Foram estimadas médias do IQD-R segundo as variáveis independentes e desenvolvido modelo de regressão linear múltipla para as análises ajustadas. Os segmentos de idosos que apresentaram escores superiores de qualidade da dieta foram os de 80 anos e mais, evangélicos, que praticavam atividade física de lazer e os diabéticos; escores inferiores foram observados nos que residiam com três ou mais pessoas, nos tabagistas e nos que relataram preferência por refrigerantes e bebidas alcoólicas. Os achados apontam para a necessidade de melhora da qualidade da dieta dos idosos em geral, mas especialmente nos segmentos com outros comportamentos não saudáveis, indicando, ainda, a relevância de intervenções integradas e não focadas em um fator.

“…While extensive literature has explored ways to reduce mortality, limited research has addressed promotion of overall health and well-being in aging. The Healthy Eating Index, which reflects adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and an Alternative-Healthy Eating Index, which further incorporates research on specific foods and nutrients predictive of chronic disease risk, have been strongly related to lower mortality (3–7), lower incidence of major chronic diseases (8–11) and better physical functioning in older Americans (12, 13). Likewise, adherence to the Mediterranean diet has been related to less cardiovascular and cancer-related mortality (14), lower incidence of stroke, cognitive impairment and depression (15), and to better physical functioning (16–18).…”

Background Understanding how to maintain health and well-being in aging populations is critical. Objective To examine the relation of dietary patterns in midlife to the prevalence of healthy aging. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting Nurses’ Health Study. Participants 10,670 women with dietary data and no major chronic diseases in 1984–1986, when they were in their late 50’s and early 60s (median age = 59 years); all women provided information on multiple aspects of aging an average 15 years later. Measurements Diet quality in midlife was ascertained using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010) and Alternate Mediterranean diet (A-MeDi) scores, averaged from two food frequency questionnaires (1984–1986). We defined “healthy” vs “usual” aging as of age 70 years; healthy aging was based on survival to 70+ years with maintenance of four health domains - no major chronic diseases, or major impairments in cognitive or physical function or mental health. Results After multivariable adjustment, greater adherence to the AHEI-2010 (upper vs. lower quintile) in midlife was related to 34% (95% CI=9% to 66%, P-trend<0.001) greater odds of healthy versus usual aging. Greater adherence to A-MeDi was related to 46% (95% CI=17% to 83%, P-trend=0.002) greater odds of healthy aging. When the 4 components of healthy aging were analyzed separately, AHEI-2010 and A-MeDi were significantly associated with higher likelihood of no major limitations in physical function and mental health. Limitations Possibility of residual confounding, although we controlled for many confounding factors; bias due to complex patterns of measurement error within diet scores cannot be excluded. Conclusions Better diet quality at midlife appears strongly linked to greater health and well-being among those surviving to older ages.
