0025/2019 - Avaliação dos indicadores de aquisição, disponibilidade e adequação nutricional da cesta básica de alimentos Brasileira. Assessment of the indicators of purchasing, availability and nutritional adequacy of the Brazilian food basket.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a evolução dos custos para aquisição da cesta básica associados ao poder aquisitivo do salário mínimo, além de mensurar a disponibilidade per capita nos domicílios brasileiros dos alimentos que compõe a cesta básica. Também foram avaliadas a adequação da composição nutricional e a qualidade da dieta baseada no consumo diário de itens da cesta básica. Os resultados obtidos apontam a existência de períodos de elevação de preços para aquisição dos itens da cesta básica, assim como a incapacidade do salário mínimo para o custeio para tais provisões alimentares. Foi verificado que as dietas baseadas no consumo dos itens da cesta básica apresentam quantidade de energia e sódio superiores às recomendações para indivíduos adultos, além de apresentar quantidades insuficientes de cálcio, potássio e vitamina A. A avaliação da qualidade das dietas apontou baixa quantidade de frutas, vegetais, cereais na dieta composta pelos itens das cestas básicas, sendo constatado excesso energético proveniente de gorduras e açúcar de adição. Diante de tais evidências, recomenda-se revisão da composição das cestas básicas para atendimento de requisitos nutricionais básicos em alimentação para população brasileira.

The results obtained indicate the existence of periods of price increase for the acquisition of the food basket items, just as the incapacity of the minimum wage for the costing of such food provision. It was verified that the diets based on the consumption of food basked items have a higher calorie and sodium content than the recommendations for adults, as well as insufficient amounts of calcium, potassium and vitamin A. The evaluation of the quality of the diets indicated low amount of fruits, vegetables, cereals in the diet composed by the items of the food baskets, being verified excess caloriesfats and added sugar. In view of such evidence, it is recommended to review the composition of the food baskets to meet basic nutritional requirements in food for the Brazilian population.
