Abstract:

The present study aimed to verify the association between psychosocial aspects (social capital) and food patterns in adult women. A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted with a representative sample of 1,128 women, aged 20 to 69 years, living in the urban area of the municipality of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, in 2015. The food patterns were identified based on the frequency of food intake and classified as: healthy (fruits, vegetables, and whole foods), risk (ultra-processed foods) and Brazilian (rice and beans), while social capital was evaluated using a collective efficacy scale. It was observed that 18.9% of the sample was classified with high collective efficacy. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, a 44% higher probability was observed for healthy pattern adhering (PR [Prevalence Ratio] = 1.44; CI95% [95% Confidence Interval]: 1.01 - 2.03; p=0.040) and 71% higher for the Brazilian (PR = 1.71; IC95%: 1.18 - 2.47; p=0.004) among women with a higher level of collective efficacy, when compared to those with low level of collective efficacy. Thus, this study verified a significant relationship between psychosocial aspects and food consumption in women.
