Abstract:

Purpose: To Identify patterns of dietary intake and associated factors in children under two years of age in Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional, population-based study using data from the National Health Survey (PNS) conducted in 2013 in Brazil. Dietary intake was measured by dichotomous questions, listing the food, considering only the day before the interview. Dietary patterns were identified through principal component analysis. Poisson regression was used to obtain a crude and adjusted prevalence ratio. The sample design effect was considered in the analyses that were stratified according to the age of the child (0-5 months; 6-11 months and 12-23 months of age). Results: Among The 5,052 children, three patterns of food consumption were identified, being denominated as: "standard of consumption of healthy foods", "standard of consumption of milk" and "standard of consumption of unhealthy foods". There was an association between the patterns in each age group, mainly with skin color, gender, schooling of the head of the family, area of residence and region. It is noteworthy that a quarter of the children from 12 to 23 months ingested soft drinks, more than one third artificial juices and almost half sweets the day before the interview. Conclusion: Three dietary patterns were identified, besides observing early feeding in children under six months of age.
