“…One study has found that the basic infrastructure of essential services can influence both income distribution and health perception in the investigated neighborhood [ 36 ]. Studies have also found an association between social inequality, exercising [ 37 ], access to and intake of food among Brazilians [ 38 ]. Socially disadvantaged individuals were the most underprivileged in these aspects [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Background Food deserts are neighborhoods with little or no access to healthy food, whereas food swamps are neighborhoods where unhealthy food options prevail over healthy ones. The main aims of the current study are to feature and compare the neighborhoods of food deserts and food swamps based on social inequality. Methods Ecological study carried out in Belo Horizonte City, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Information about commercial food establishments derived from two different databases. It was measured by secondary governmental databases, which were virtually conferred in the present study. Census tracts were considered as analysis units and classified as food deserts and food swamps, based on the Brazilian methodology. Take into consideration the density of establishments classified as selling fresh or minimally-processed food, mixed establishments, and establishments selling ultra-processed food. The Brazilian methodology evaluates food deserts by the density of healthy establishments (establishments classified as mostly selling fresh or minimally-processed food and mixed establishments) per 10 thousand inhabitants. And the metric to evaluate food swamps considers the density of unhealthy establishments (establishments mostly selling ultra-processed food) per 10 thousand inhabitants. Information about social inequalities comprised aspects such as income, population count, number of households, number of literate individuals, race, water and energy supply, and garbage collection. The Health Vulnerability Index (HVI) was used as a synthetic social vulnerability indicator. Results Neighborhoods of food deserts presented worse essential service availability, lower income per capita, and smaller mean number of literate individuals. Census tracts classified as food swamps presented better socio-demographic conditions than those areas food deserts. Neighborhoods simultaneously classified as food deserts and food swamps presented lower income per capita and were more often observed in census sectors presenting medium and high HVI. Conclusion The food environment in Belo Horizonte was featured by the strong presence of food deserts and food swamps. However, the potential influence of these areas on food intake has changed depending on social inequalities.

“…[16], justifying the E-DII increase in this group. Thereby, the same individuals with higher income, due to their greater purchasing power, have more access and consumption of fruits and vegetables and also of ultra-processed and processed foods [29,30], which may contribute to an increase in the E-DII.…”

Factors associated with the inflammatory potential of the Brazilian population’s diet

Objectives: To assess the inflammatory potential of the Brazilian population’s diet and its association with demographic, socioeconomic, and anthropometric characteristics. Methods: Cross-sectional study performed with 34,003 individuals aged 10 and older, evaluated by the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (INA) from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (POF 2008-2009). The Energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DIITM) was determined using 34 dietary parameters calculated through non-consecutive 2-day dietary records. Positive scores indicate a pro-inflammatory diet, while negative scores indicate an anti-inflammatory diet. A bivariate and multivariate linear regression analysis based on a hierarchical theoretical model was performed to verify the factors associated with the E-DII. Results: The mean of the E-DII was 1.04, with a range of -4.77 to +5.98. The highest values of the pro-inflammatory E-DII were found among adolescents (1.42; p-value<0.001) and individuals with higher income (1.10; p-value<0.001) and level of education (1.18; p-value<0.001). In the final model, the E-DII was associated with higher income quartiles, was higher in the Northeast and South regions, in white people, individuals with ≥9 years of education and adults and adolescents age group. Conclusion: The Brazilian population consumes a diet with high inflammatory potential, especially adolescents, white people and those with higher income and level of education. Thus, the index presented uneven distribution among the population, emphasizing groups with higher dietary inflammatory potential. The socioeconomic risk profile of a diet with higher inflammatory potential in medium-income countries is different from what is observed in high-income nations.

“…Since 2015, debates about food intolerances and impulsive eating, use of smartphone to aid eating behaviour, identification of emotions in consumption, organic food and sustainability, genotype and multifaceted analysis associated with consumption have grown. In 2019, with the democratic crisis, a review of publications analysed the relationship between socioeconomic status and food consumption in large national surveys, underscoring social inequalities and consumption patterns in Brazil 27 .…”

Resumo Revisão sistemática realizada em janeiro de 2020 na base de dados SciELO com o objetivo de analisar a produção científica da Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva na área de alimentação e nutrição no período 1996-2019. A busca resultou em 904 artigos e 509 foram selecionados após leitura dos títulos e resumos. Os artigos foram agrupados em dez temas, sendo discutidos os de maior frequência: Avaliação do Estado Nutricional (n=142), Consumo Alimentar (n=111), Políticas e Programas de Alimentação e Nutrição (n=105) e Aleitamento Materno (n=35). As publicações foram em sua maioria artigos originais (75,6%) com método quantitativo (81,6%) e, entre estes, 18,8% utilizaram amostra probabilística. Observou-se um amplo leque de temas e subtemas abordados, evidenciando uma produção relevante que constitui um repositório importante de dados e conhecimentos para profissionais e gestores da área da saúde. Como lacunas, observou-se a escassez de publicações voltadas para a deficiência de micronutrientes; a popularização do Guia Alimentar para População Brasileira; a promoção da ascensão do aleitamento materno; os diagnósticos da descontinuidade da Política Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional e suas articulações intersetoriais com as políticas sociais de combate à fome.
