0181/2022 - CONSUMO DE CARNES POR ADULTOS E IDOSOS DE UMA CIDADE DE COLONIZAÇÃO ALEMÃ DO SUL DO BRASIL: ESTUDO DE BASE POPULACIONAL MEAT CONSUMPTION BY ADULTS AND ELDERLY IN A SOUTH GERMAN COLONIZATION CITY IN BRAZIL: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY
O consumo excessivo de carnes, em especial as vermelhas e processadas, está associado ao aumento da morbi-mortalidade. O padrão de consumo de carnes apresenta variações no Brasil e no mundo influenciado por fatores econômicos e culturais. Esse estudo buscou analisar o consumo de carnes por adultos e idosos de uma cidade de colonização alemã do Sul do Brasil. Trata-se de estudo populacional seccional. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficas e de consumo de carne por Questionário de Frequência Alimentar previamente validado. Foram analisadas as frequências, e as quantidades por tipo de carne e processamento. A associação entre o consumo excessivo de carne e as variáveis de estudo foi estimada por Razão de Prevalência. Entre os 1941 participantes, a média de carne consumida foi de 250 g/dia, sendo a carne não processada branca (138 g/dia) a mais consumida, com destaque para as aves (80 g/dia). A prevalência de consumo excessivo de carne vermelha e processada (mais que 500 g/semana) foi de 63%, principalmente entre os homens (RP=1,6; IC95% 1,5-1,8), de 20 a 29 anos (RP=1,4; IC95% 1,2 – 1,5), e mais alta classe econômica (RP=1,2; IC95% 1,0-1,3). O consumo excessivo de carne vermelha e processada entre homens jovens de classe econômica alta deve ser alvo de ações de saúde pública para a adequação no consumo alimentar.
Excessive consumption of meat, especially red and processed meats, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The pattern of meat consumption varies in Brazil and in the world is influenced by economic and cultural factors. This study aimed to analyze the consumption of meat by adults and the elderly in a city of German colonization in southern Brazil. This is a cross-sectional population study. Sociodemographic and meat consumption data were collected using a previously validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Frequencies and amounts were analyzed by type of meat and processing. The association between excessive meat consumption and the study variables was estimated by Prevalence Ratio. Among the 1941 participants, the average amount of meat consumed was 250 g/day, the most consumed being white unprocessed meat (138 g/day), especially poultry (80 g/day). The prevalence of excessive consumption of red and processed meat (more than 500 g/week) was 63%, mainly among men (PR=1.6; 95%CI 1.5-1.8), aged 20 to 29 years (PR=1.4; 95%CI 1.2 – 1.5), and higher economic class (PR=1.2; 95%CI 1.0-1.3). Excessive consumption of red and processed meat among young men of high economic class should be the target of public health actions for the adequacy of food consumption.
MEAT CONSUMPTION BY ADULTS AND ELDERLY IN A SOUTH GERMAN COLONIZATION CITY IN BRAZIL: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY
Resumo (abstract):
Excessive consumption of meat, especially red and processed meats, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The pattern of meat consumption varies in Brazil and in the world is influenced by economic and cultural factors. This study aimed to analyze the consumption of meat by adults and the elderly in a city of German colonization in southern Brazil. This is a cross-sectional population study. Sociodemographic and meat consumption data were collected using a previously validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Frequencies and amounts were analyzed by type of meat and processing. The association between excessive meat consumption and the study variables was estimated by Prevalence Ratio. Among the 1941 participants, the average amount of meat consumed was 250 g/day, the most consumed being white unprocessed meat (138 g/day), especially poultry (80 g/day). The prevalence of excessive consumption of red and processed meat (more than 500 g/week) was 63%, mainly among men (PR=1.6; 95%CI 1.5-1.8), aged 20 to 29 years (PR=1.4; 95%CI 1.2 – 1.5), and higher economic class (PR=1.2; 95%CI 1.0-1.3). Excessive consumption of red and processed meat among young men of high economic class should be the target of public health actions for the adequacy of food consumption.
