Abstract:

The objective of this study is to provide guidance for identifying dietary patterns by a posteriori approach, and analyze the methodological aspects of the studies conducted in Brazil that assessed dietary patterns of children. Articles were selected in the databases of the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Pubmed. The descriptors were: Dietary pattern; Food pattern; Principal Component Analysis; Factor analysis; Cluster analysis; Reduced rank regression. We included studies who identified dietary patterns of children through a posteriori approach. We selected seven studies, with six cross-sectional and one of cohort, published between 2007 and 2014. Five used as methods dietary assessment the food frequency questionnaire, one a 24-hour dietary recalls and other a list of foods. The method of exploratory approach used in most publications was the principal component factor analysis (6 studies), followed by cluster analysis (1 study). Few brazilian studies identified dietary patterns of children using a posteriori approach and factor analysis of principal components was the most used technique.
