“…The second most prevalent risk behavior among adolescents in Cuiabá was irregular consumption of meals, which has been associated with nutritionally poor diets 8,12 , insufficient nutrient intake 8 , increased risk of overweight, higher waist circumference, higher BMI, and higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 7,31 . The present study emphasizes the importance of considering regular meal habits as an important component of a healthy lifestyle, as did two other studies that evaluated the irregular intake of meals as a risk behavior in adolescents 10,13 .…”

“…The study risk behaviors -physical inactivity, tobacco smoking, experimentation of alcoholic beverages, and inadequate dietary habits -typify an unhealthy lifestyle, compromise quality of life, and predispose to the development of NCD 4,18 , and have been evaluated in various similar studies 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . However, comparison between studies that have evaluated the simultaneous occurrence of risk behaviors is complicated by the diversity of behaviors analyzed by the studies.…”

“…The occurrence of these behaviors in adolescence, both in Brazil [5][6][7][8][9] and in other countries 2,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , has been associated with an increased risk of developing NCD in adulthood 18 . Furthermore, the simultaneous occurrence of multiple risk behaviors is common in adolescents 4,6 , which may potentiate the risk for those diseases in adulthood.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of risk behaviors for non-communicable diseases and analyze their associated factors in adolescents. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2008 with 1,139 adolescents aged 14 to 19 years attending public and private high schools in Cuiabá, Midwestern Brazil. Data were collected using a selfadministered questionnaire, including a semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. The prevalence of tobacco smoking, alcohol experimentation, physical inactivity, unsatisfactory meal pattern, and excessive intake of saturated fat and sodium were evaluated. The associations between risk behaviors and socioeconomic variables, weight status, and self-perceived health status were evaluated. Results: The most common risk behaviors were excessive sodium intake (88%), unsatisfactory meal pattern (72%), excessive intake of saturated fat (39%), and alcohol experimentation (39%). Four of 10 adolescents were exposed to two risk behaviors simultaneously. Among male adolescents, the main factors associated with risk behaviors were: type of school, class schedule, education level of the household head, weight status, and self-perceived health status. Among female adolescents, age, type of school, class schedule, and education level of the household head were the main factors associated with risk behaviors. Conclusion: The prevalence of exposure to risk behaviors for non-communicable diseases was high, highlighting the simultaneous presence of tobacco smoking and experimentation of alcoholic beverages. Special attention should be given to educational activities to minimize the effects of the simultaneous occurrence of multiple risk behaviors.

“…High consumption of fat and sugar rich foods and low consumption of fruits and vegetables [3] has been observed among Brazilian adolescents, resulting in nutritionally inadequate diets [4]. Meal skipping [5,6] and eating away from home have also been observed [7]. Moreover, when compared to adults and older adults, Brazilian adolescents consume more soft drinks, cookies, and sandwiches and less beans, salads, and vegetables [8].…”

Objective: To characterize breakfast eating among Brazilian adolescents. Methods: Food intake was estimated based on a 1-day food record of adolescents aged 10-19 years, according to the first National Diet Survey (2008-2009). Breakfast was considered as the first meal of the day eaten between 4 and 11 am. Results: Ninety-three percent of adolescents reported eating breakfast. This meal contributed to 17.7% of the daily energy intake. The most commonly consumed food groups were: coffee and tea, breads, butter/margarine, milk, cakes and cookies, packaged snacks, corn-based dishes, cheese, processed meats, and fruit juice. In the Northern region there was a higher frequency of coffee and tea and roots and tubers intake and lower frequency of milk intake than that in the other regions in the country. In the Northeastern region, the intake of corn and eggs was high; in the Southern region, there was high intake of processed meats and fruits. Adolescents from families in the first income quartile reported higher intake of coffee and tea, packaged snacks, corn, and roots and tubers intake, and lower intake of milk and dairy products. Adolescents from families in the highest income quartile reported higher intake of milk, fruit juice, cheese, and sugar-added beverages. Conclusion: In Brazil, the contribution of breakfast to daily energy intake among adolescents is low. The nutritional quality of breakfast improved with increased income. The three most frequently consumed items were coffee and tea, breads, and butter/margarine.

“…Em estudo realizado com cem julgadores não treinados, houve 81% de aceitação para a doçura de bebidas de goiaba, adoçadas com 11% de sacarose (FERNANDES et al, 2009). Além disso, a faixa etária jovem (julgadores predominantes do atual estudo) e, em especial, a cultura mineira apresentam tal hábito alimentar (FISBERG, et al, 2000;ABDALA, 2006;MOMO et al, 2006;ESTIMA et al, 2009). Conforme MINIM (2010), as características não sensoriais devem ser levadas em consideração em estudos com consumidores, pois infl uem não somente na escolha de um produto, como também na aceitação e no processo de compra deste.…”
