Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: we investigate the association between socioeconomic position and food consumption among Brazilians and show how the results of the large national surveys are contributing to the identification of possible social and ecological inequities in food consumption. METHODS: a systematic review of studies retrieved publications that analyzed the relationship between socioeconomic position and food consumption in large national surveys. The definition of socioeconomic position, the ion of its indicator variables and the critical analysis were based on ecosocial epidemiology. RESULTS: individuals with lower socioeconomic status (skin color/race brown or black, lower education and income and residence in rural areas) are less likely to consume a diverse and healthy diet. The effects of gender and marital status could only be understood by a social cut. CONCLUSIONS: socioeconomic position variables frame a complex web of causality that helps explaining the many paths that can lead to food consumption of brazilians and denouncing social inequities in food and nutrition. In order to achieve greater precision regarding the causes of inequalities in food, it suggests that greater conceptual clarity regarding the measurement of socioeconomic parameters.
