Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate factors associated with food and nutritional insecurity of families with children under 5 years old living in areas covered by the Family Health Strategy. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 406 familiestwo municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa, Paraíba. For the evaluation of the food and nutritional security of the families, the Brazilian Scale of Food Insecurity was used. The determinants of moderate/severe food insecurity were analyzed through Decision Tree. Results: Food and nutritional insecurity reached 71.4% of the families. Moderate/severe food insecurity (32%) was associated, first, with the benefit of the Programa Bolsa Família, in addition to the family consisting of children under 2 years of age, the lowest socioeconomic level and family dysfunction. Conclusions: The results show high prevalences of food and nutritional insecurity, the most serious of which suggest the importance of interventions aimed at improving the Programa Bolsa Família, the conditions of households with children under 2 years of age, in the socioeconomic situation of families and in the familiar functionality.
