“…This large disparity is emphasized by estimates suggesting that 90% of SCD occurs in low- and middle-income countries, and 90% of children with SCD in these countries die before reaching the age of 5 [ 29 ]. This study, conducted in a metropolis of a middle-income country, showed that UPF accounted for more than one-third (35.2%) of the total energy intake from the diet in adult people with SCA, which is much higher than that observed in representative samples of the adult Brazilian population (19.7%) [ 30 ] or that reported in the southeastern region of Brazil (22.5%) [ 31 ] where the state of Rio de Janeiro is located, or even that reported in studies conducted in other countries [ 32 , 33 ]. The data reported here showed that the consumption of fresh foods was directly influenced by family income.…”

Food Consumption of People with Sickle Cell Anemia in a Middle-Income Country

et al. 2023

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic and hemolytic disease globally characterized by social vulnerability. Food consumption has been insufficiently analyzed in SCA. Secondary iron overload is often observed. This leads to unreliable recommendations for dietary iron restriction. We assessed food consumption and iron intake among adults with SCA. Considering the guidelines for healthy eating, foods were grouped according to the NOVA classification. This transversal study included 74.4% of eligible patients who were registered in the reference center for SCA treatment in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2019. Data on food consumption were collected through 24 h recall. The monthly household income of 82.3% of patients was less than $770. The consumption of fresh or minimally processed foods was directly associated with monthly household income (p < 0.0001; η2 = 0.87). Ultra-processed foods provided more than one-third of the total energy intake (35.2%). The prevalence of inadequate iron intake was about 40% among women, while that of iron intake above the tolerable upper limit was 0.8%. People from lower socioeconomic classes had the lowest iron intake. Strategies to encourage the consumption of fresh or minimally processed foods are needed considering the requirement of an antioxidant diet in SCA. These findings highlight the need for health equity to ensure food security and healthy eating in SCA.

“…The consumption of ultra-processed foods has increased significantly in several countries due to recent changes in global food systems (9) . Brazil is following this trend with the relative consumption of available calories from ultra-processed foods rising from 14·3 % to 19·4 % between 2002 and 2018 (43) . In that same period (2002–2018), the household purchase of beef increased by almost 40 % (43) , placing Brazil among the countries with the highest beef per capita availability in the world (44) .…”

Objective: This study evaluated the independent and combined environmental impacts of the consumption of beef and ultra-processed foods in Brazil. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Brazil. Participants: We used food purchases data from a national household budget survey conducted between July 2017 and July 2018, representing all Brazilian households. Food purchases were converted into energy, carbon footprints, and water footprints. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the association between quintiles of beef and ultra-processed foods in total energy purchases and the environmental footprints, controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results: Both beef and ultra-processed foods had a significant linear association with carbon and water footprints (p < 0.01) in crude and adjusted models. In the crude upper quintile of beef purchases, carbon and water footprints were 47.7% and 30.8% higher, respectively, compared to the lower quintile. The upper quintile of ultra-processed food purchases showed carbon and water footprints 14.4% and 22.8% higher, respectively, than the lower quintile. The greatest reduction in environmental footprints would occur when both beef and ultra-processed food purchases are decreased, resulting in a 21.1% reduction in carbon footprint and a 20.0% reduction in water footprint. Conclusions: Although the environmental footprints associated with beef consumption are higher, dietary patterns with lower consumption of beef and ultra-processed foods combined showed the greatest reduction in carbon and water footprints in Brazil. The high consumption of beef and ultra-processed foods is harmful to human health, as well as to the environment, thus their reduction is beneficial to both.

“…Nevertheless, these authors also recorded relevant participation in advertisements of meal dishes composed predominantly of rice, beans, vegetables and meats, typical ingredients of the Brazilian food culture (8)(9)(10) . This is a characteristic that can be explained by Brazilians maintaining the habit of consuming culinary preparations based on fresh or minimally processed foods and culinary ingredients in their main meals (lunch and dinner) (24) .…”

Numerous studies have characterized the establishments registered with meal delivery apps (MDAs) in several countries. However, little evidence is available regarding these platforms in Latin America (LA). The purpose of this study is to characterize food establishments registered with an MDA in nine LA cities. The establishments (n=3,339) were characterized by the following keyword groups: “Typical cuisine,” “Meat and fish,” “Snacks,” “Breakfast,” “Desserts,” and “Healthy.” In addition, we identified the marketing strategies present in the establishments' advertisements: photos, discounts, and free delivery. Mexico City had the highest number of establishments registered with MDAs (773), followed by Bogotá (655), Buenos Aires (567), and São Paulo (454). There is a direct relationship between the number of inhabitants of the cities and the number of the registered establishments. “Snacks” was the keyword group most used by establishments in five of the nine cities. Establishments in two cities were most often characterized by the terms “Typical cuisine” (Mexico City and Santiago de Chile) and “Meats and fish” (Quito and San Jose). Photos were present in the advertisements of at least 84.0% of the establishments. In addition, at least 40% of establishments in Montevideo, Bogotá, São Paulo, Lima, and Santiago de Chile offered discounts. Free delivery was present in at least 50% of establishments in Quito, San Jose, Mexico City, Santiago de Chile, and Lima. Photos were also the most common marketing strategy used by the establishments classified in all groups of keywords, while free delivery and discounts differed among them.
