“…Cordeiro et al (19) found in Quilombolas communities in the state of Goiás (Midwest Brazil) a prevalence of 74·2 % of HFI, with 45·1 % having mild HFI, 21·6 % having moderate HFI and 8·5 % severe FI. The risk factors identified for HFI in these two smaller studies are highly consistent with those found in the present census analysis of officially recognized Quilombolas territories (8,19) . The studies conducted in the North and Midwest used the old EBIA version with fifteen items v. the fourteen-item EBIA, that excluded the weight loss item, used in our study.…”

“…The difference between these lower HFI estimates and ours is likely to be due to the differences in samples studied, namely a representative national sample v. a local sample, as well as sampling exclusion criteria. For example, the study in the Midwest enrolled only families with children attending public schools located near cities, and excluded remote communities which are the poorest ones and less likely to be able to benefit from public policies (19) . There was a clear contrast between the North and Northeast regions and the remaining three Brazilian regions.…”

“…Existem vários estudos que relatam os diferentes pos de problemas de saúde que os moradores enfrentam, com protozooses e helmin ases (AMORIM et al, 2013;DAMAZIO et al, 2013), além de anemia e hipertensão, resultados de má alimentação (SILVA, 2014) e de riscos associados à segurança alimentar (CORDEIRO; MONEGO;MARTINS, 2014). Além disso, já foi observado em uma comunidade quilombola no Estado da Bahia que os membros avaliam como "ruim" a qualidade de vida e a condição de di cil acesso aos serviços de saúde (SANTOS et al, 2014).…”

“…Outra associação possível com a inserção desses alimentos, remonta ao fato da comunidade estar geograficamente próxima a um centro urbano, e dessa forma seus hábitos alimentares podem ter sido modificados, com a preferência de alimentos que não integravam originalmente de sua cultura e tradição [15] . O poder aquisitivo, a baixa escolaridade e a facilidade do consumo também podem estar associadas à influência das escolhas alimentares, perpassando desde o baixo conhecimento e, consequentemente, poder de decisão próprios fica afetado pelo meio, até o fato de menores preços encontrados em boa parte dos alimentos industrializados atrelado à facilidade de compra desses gêneros, a exemplo de biscoitos, bolachas, salgadinho.…”
