Abstract:

Aim: To analyze the consumption of marker foods of healthy eating, according to the racial groups of brazilian women interviewed in the 2019 National Health Survey. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study with data45,148 white and black women aged ≥20 years. The variables used were the consumption of fruits, vegetables and legumes and beans and fish. The association between color/race and the dietary intake indicators was tested using crude Poisson Regression and adjusted to estimate Prevalence Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals. Results: The prevalence of consumption of fruits and vegetables was statistically higher among white women, while fish and beans was higher among black women. After adjusting for socioeconomic and demographic variables, it was found that black women remained only less likely to consume fruit (PR=0.91; 95%CI: 0.88-0.95) and only more likely to consume beans (PR= 1.07; 95%CI: 1.04-1.10) than whites. Conclusion: There were racial inequalities for the consumption of healthy foods among brazilian women, indicating that color/race defined a dietary pattern for black women that put them in vulnerable conditions in terms of fruit consumption.
