0168/2022 - Inequalities in food acquisition according to the social profiles of the head of households in Brazil Desigualdades na aquisição de alimentos de acordo com a renda e os perfis sociais do chefe de família no Brasil
O Brasil é caracterizado por fortes desigualdades sociais e diferenças no acesso a alimentos de qualidade e em quantidade suficiente, o que representa uma violação do direito humano à alimentação adequada. O objetivo foi avaliar os gastos com alimentação de acordo com o perfil social do responsável pelo domicílio. Dados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares Brasileiros de corte transversal (2017/2018) foram usados com uma amostra nacionalmente representativa de participantes da pesquisa domiciliar (n= 52.917). A regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para estimar razões de prevalência (RP) para avaliar a associação de diferentes perfis sociais com a aquisição de alimentos. O perfil caracterizado pela mulher auto classificada como branca, com maior escolaridade, cujas características estiveram positiva e significativamente associadas a maior aquisição de frutas (RP = 1,22; IC 95% 1,09-1,36), verduras e legumes (PR = 1,24; IC 95% 1,09-1,41) e queijo (RP = 1,32; IC 95% 1,09-1,59). Mulheres negras com baixa escolaridade apresentaram associação negativa com o consumo de refrigerantes (RP = 0,53; IC 95% 0,45-0,62) e alimentos preparados (RP = 0,52; CI 95% 0,37-0,74). Os resultados revelam grandes desigualdades na aquisição de alimentos entre os perfis sociais dos chefes de família.

Abstract:
Brazil is characterized by strong social inequalities and differences in access to quality food and sufficient quantities of it, which represent a violation of the human right to adequate food. The aim was to assess food expenditures according to the social profiles of the head of the households. Data from the cross-sectional Brazilian Household Budget Survey (2017/2018) were used with a nationally representative sample of household survey participants (n= 52,917). Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) to assess the association of different social profiles with the acquisition of food. The profile characterized by woman self-classified as white, with a higher education, which characteristics were positively and significantly associated with more acquisition of fruits (PR=1.22; CI 95% 1.09-1.36) and vegetables and greens (PR=1.24; CI 95% 1.09-1.41). Black women with low education levels showed a negative association with the consumption of soda (PR=0.53; CI 95% 0.45-0.62), and prepared food (PR=0.52; CI 95% 0.37-0.74). The results reveal great inequalities in the purchase of food between the social profiles of the heads of the family.
