Abstract:

Objective: To assess whether socioeconomic and demographic conditions are associated with the Total Antioxidant Capacity of the Diet (TACd) of the Brazilian population.
Methods: Study carried out with 46.164 Brazilians aged 10 or over, evaluated by the Family Budget Survey (POF 2017-2018). Food consumption was assessed through a 24-hour recall, with CATd determinedthe sum of the antioxidant content of each food ingested,a database, with information on the CAT value in mmol/100g of 3,100 foods. Multinomial logistic regression models were proposed to test the relationship between socioeconomic factors and CATd.
Results: The median CATd was 3.48 (0.62 – 24.55) mmol/1000 Kcal. Women, older individuals (adults and the elderly) and residents of rural areas and the Northeast, South and Southeast regions of the country had a higher intake of antioxidants. On the other hand, individuals with higher education and income had lower CATd values.
Conclusion: the socioeconomic and demographic situation was associated with the consumption of antioxidants, reinforcing the importance of identifying risk groups for inadequate nutrition, for better targeting in the implementation of public policies and nutritional interventions.
