Resumo:
O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever características do consumo alimentar de crianças brasileiras e sua associação com fatores sociodemográficos. Foram analisados os dados de consumo alimentar da Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde da Criança e da Mulher realizada em 2006. A análise considerou a complexidade amostral e incluiu 3.083 crianças de dois a cinco anos de idade. O desfecho foi avaliado a partir de marcadores alimentares. As estimativas desses marcadores foram descritas segundo sexo e idade da criança, local de residência, idade e escolaridade materna. Nas análises estatísticas foram utilizados testes qui-quadrado de heterogeneidade e de tendência linear. Verificou-se que 50% e 25,9% das crianças avaliadas não haviam consumido verduras de folhas e legumes nos sete dias anteriores ao da entrevista, respectivamente. A prevalência de consumo de pelo menos um dia na última semana de frituras foi cerca de 60% e de refrigerantes e sucos artificiais foi de 82%. Crianças do sexo feminino, cujas mães possuíam maior idade e escolaridade, apresentaram as maiores prevalências de consumo de alimentos marcadores de alimentação saudável. Diante desses dados, a intensificação de campanhas de educação nutricional com abordagens inovadoras pode ajudar a melhorar a alimentação das crianças.
The aim of this study is describing aspects of the Brazilian children’s food intake and its relation with sociodemographic factors. The 2006 data of food intake of the National Survey on Demography and Health for women and children were analyzed. The analysis considered the sample complexity and included 3,083 children aged two to five years old. The outcome was evaluated by considering food intake markers. The estimation of those markers was described taking into account the children’s gender, age and neighborhood as well as their mothers’ age and education. In the statistical analyses chi-square heterogeneity and linear tendency tests were utilized. It was verified that 50% and 25.9% of the children evaluated had not eaten greens and vegetables, respectively, during the seven days before the interview. In at least one day during the last week the prevalence in consumption of fried food was of approximately 60% and for soda and artificial juice was of 82%. Female children whose mothers were older and had better education presented the highest prevalence in consumption of healthy food. As a result of these data, it is possible to say that the intensification of campaigns of nutritional education with innovatory approaches might help improve children’s food intake.
