Abstract:

The objective was to describe the characteristics of fruit consumption in Brazil and its association with the intake of ultra-processed foods (UP) in a representative sample32,900 individualsthe 2008-2009 Brazilian Household Budget Survey. The association between energy contribution of fruits to the diet and quintiles of UP intake was analyzed through linear regression. Fruits accounted for just over 5% of the calories, about half of which (2.4%) as juice. Men presented lower consumption than women; consumption increased with increasing age, income, and schooling. There was an inverse association between consumption of whole fruits and UP (β: -0.12, 95%CI: -0.18; -0.05). Among the individuals who reported consuming fruits (68%), there was little diversity (mean: 1.16 types / day). The most consumed fruits were orange, banana, and apple. Whole fruits were consumed mainly at lunchtime and as snacks. The consumption was inversely associated with UP intake at lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner. Juices were consumed mainly at lunchtime and did not varied with UP intake. Higher fruit consumption outside home occurred in all quintiles of UP intake. Low fruit intake in Brazil and the association with UP consumption reinforce the need of initiatives to promote healthy eating.
