Resumo:
O objetivo foi descrever o padrão de consumo alimentar em crianças brasileiras entre 6 e 24 meses e verificar as diferenças entre crianças em aleitamento materno (AM) que consomem ou não outros tipos de leites não-humano (LNH), e aquelas não amamentadas (NAM). Foram usados dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde (2006). O consumo alimentar de 1455 crianças foi avaliado usando um questionário de frequência alimentar. Avaliou-se a presença de dieta saudável e diversificada (mínimo recomendado de alimentos saudáveis e ausência de consume de alimentos não-saudáveis, de acordo com o Guia Alimentar). A associação entre AM e e consumo alimentar foi testado pela regressão de Poisson. No momento da entrevista 15,8% das crianças estavam em AM sem consumo de LNH, 30,7% estavam em AM com consumo de LNH e 53% não estavam em AM. Mais da metade das crianças consumiam os alimentos recomendados, 78% consumiam alimentos ricos em açúcar, gordura e sal, e apenas 3,4% estavam em uma dieta saudável e diversificada. As crianças em AM que não consumiam LNH tinham quase cinco vezes mais chances de ter uma dieta saudável e diversificada e tinham 19% menos chance de consumer alimentos ricos em açúcar, gordura e sal, comparadas àquelas que também consumiam LNH e aquelas que não estavam em AM.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to describe food consumption patterns in Brazilian children aged 6-24 months and to assess differences between breastfed children who do not consume non-human milks, breastfed children who consume non-human milks, and non-breastfed children. This study used datathe 3rd edition of the Brazilian National Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2006-07. The food consumption patterns of 1,455 children aged 6-24 months were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire for the previous week. One indicator adopted in this study was the healthy diverse diet, corresponding to the minimum recommended intake of recommended food groups plus zero intake of non-recommended foods, according to the Brazilian government’s food guide. The association between breastfeeding and food consumption was tested using multivariate Poisson regression. At the time of the interview, 15.8% of the children were breastfed without consuming non-human milk, 30.7% consumed breast milk in conjunction with non-human milk, and 53% were not breastfed anymore. Over half of the children consumed the recommended foods, 78% consumed foods rich in sugar, fat, and salt, and only 3.4% were on a healthy diverse diet. The breastfed children who did not consume non-human milks were almost five times more likely to be on a healthy diverse diet and were 19% less likely to consume foods rich in
