Abstract:

In this study, we evaluated socioeconomic inequalities in the consumption of in natura/minimally processed and ultra-processed foods among adolescents. We used data from the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE), 2015. According to the self-reported consumption of beans, vegetables and fruits, a score of in natura/minimally processed food was generated (0-21 points). Sodas, sweets, instant noodles, and ultra-processed meat were used for the score of ultra-processed food (0-21 points). Equality indicators were gender, maternal education, and socioeconomic level. Absolute difference, ratios, concentration index and slope index of inequality were calculated. Adolescents (n=101,689, 51% girls, 14.2 years) reported a mean score of 9.97 and 11.46 for ultra-processed food and in natura/minimally processed food, respectively. When compared highest to lowest socioeconomic level, there were differences of 2.64 points (2.40;2.87) and 33% (28%;37%) for consumption of in natura/minimally processed food; and 1.48 points (1.27;1.71) and 15% (12%;18%) for ultra-processed food. Slope index of inequalities and concentration indexes indicated small but statistically significant differences between groups. Adolescents from higher socioeconomic level ate more in natura/minimally processed food and ultra-processed food.
