O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o consumo regular de bebidas açucaradas e sua associação com aspectos sociodemográficos e comportamentais de adultos de uma cidade do sudoeste brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo de base populacional com 1226 adultos de 20 a 59 anos, residentes na zona urbana do município de Viçosa-MG. Foi aplicado um questionário estruturado para medir as condições sociodemográficas e comportamentais. O consumo de bebidas açucaradas foi classificado como regular quando a frequência de ingestão foi igual ou superior a cinco vezes por semana. O consumo regular de bebidas açucaradas foi superior em homens e mulheres com idade entre 20 e 29 anos (p <0,01). Homens com hábito de realizar refeições em frente à televisão (p= 0,03) e mulheres insatisfeitas com seu peso (p= 0,03) apresentaram maior consumo regular de bebidas açucaradas. Conclui-se que os indivíduos de maior idade apresentaram menor consumo regular de bebidas açucaradas e este consumo esteve associado a comportamentos obesogênicos, como o hábito em realizar refeições em frente à televisão e em indivíduos insatisfeitos com o peso corporal.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and its association with sociodemographic and behavioral aspects in a city in the southwest of Brazil. This is a population-based study of 1,226 adults aged 20 to 59, living in the urban area of the municipality of Viçosa-MG. A structured questionnaire to measure sociodemographic and behavioral conditions was applied. The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages were considered regular when the frequency of intake rate was not less than five times a week. Regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages was higher in men and women aged between 20 and 29 years (p <0.01). Men with habit of having meals in front of the television (p = 0.03) and women dissatisfied with their weight (p = 0.03) were more regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. We conclude that the older individuals showed less regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and this consumption was associated with obesogenic behaviors such as habit to hold meals in front of the television and dissatisfied individuals with body weight.
