0129/2020 - Adequação da frequência e tipos de refeições realizadas por idosos comunitários do sul do Brasil Adequacy of the frequency and types of meals performed by community-dwelling older adultsthe southern Brazil
O objetivo do estudo foi descrever a frequência e tipos de refeições realizadas por idosos de Pelotas (RS) e fatores associados à frequência adequada de refeições. Foi realizado estudo transversal com indivíduos ?60 anos. Questionou-se sobre as refeições diáriasna semana anterior à entrevista. A adequação de refeições foi definida conforme recomendaçãodo Ministério da Saúde (pelo menos três refeições principais e dois lanches por dia). As variáveis independentes foram as características sociodemográficas, de saúde e da rotina alimentar.Razões de prevalência e intervalos de confiança de 95% foram calculados por regressão de Poisson. Dos 1.438 idosos entrevistados, cerca de 40%afirmaram realizar quatro refeições diárias. O almoço foi a refeição mais relatada, seguido do café da manhã. Apresentaram frequência adequada de refeições30,6% dos homens e 38,6% das mulheres (p=0,002).Homens com edentulismo (perda dentária total) tiveram 35% maior probabilidade de adequação, enquanto essa probabilidade foi cerca de 30% menor em mulheres de cor da pele não branca, não escolarizadas e que declararam falta de dinheiro paraa compra de alimentos.Um a cada três idosos atendeu a recomendação da frequência adequada de refeições e algumas características sociodemográficasforam negativamente associadas com esse hábito.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to describe the frequency and types of meals performed by elderly peoplePelotas (Brazil) and factors associated with the adequacy of meals frequency. A cross-sectional study was carried out with individuals’ ≥60 years of age. It was asked about daily mealsin the week prior to the interview.The adequacy of meals was defined as recommended by the Ministry of Health (at least three main meals and two small meals per day). The independent variables were sociodemographic, health and food routine characteristics. Prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Poisson regression. Of the 1,438 elderly people interviewed, about 40% reported performing four meals a day. Lunch was the most reported meal, followed by breakfast.30.6% of men and 38.6% of women had adequate frequency of meals (p=0.002). Men with edentulism (total tooth loss) were 35% more likely to be adequate, while this probability was about 30% lower among non-white skin color women, those without schooling and those who reported lack of money to buy food. One in each three elderly people met the recommendation of adequate frequency of meals and some sociodemographic characteristics were negatively associated with this habit.
