0211/2016 - Inquéritos antropométricos e alimentares na população brasileira: importante fonte de dados para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas. Anthropometric and dietary surveys in the Brazilian population: an important source of data for research development.
Objetivou-se analisar as diferenças metodológicas dos inquéritos antropométricos e alimentares brasileiros classificados em domiciliares, escolares e telefônicos, e refletir sobre as potencialidades e entraves envolvidos na utilização dos dados secundários dos mesmos. Os documentos que compuseram o corpus deste artigo foram relatórios oficiais publicados dos estudos. Os resultados retrataram diferenças metodológicas em relação à avaliação do consumo alimentar, à antropometria, à periodicidade e à forma de acesso as bases de dados. As fontes de dados secundários, que antes limitavam-se à divulgação de relatórios impressos, passaram a ser disponibilizadas sob a forma de microdados em bases eletrônicas. No entanto, essas bases são ainda pouco exploradas pelos pesquisadores da saúde, devido à complexidade de extração e análise dos dados. Isso justifica a importância da inserção nos cursos de pós-graduação em saúde de disciplinas que promovam habilidades para uso dessas bases, que contêm variáveis sobre a situação de saúde e nutrição da população, além das socioeconômicas e demográficas não presentes nos sistemas tradicionais de informação em saúde. Conclui-se que o trabalho com dados secundários exige qualificação e o uso dessa fonte de informação contribui para adequado planejamento em saúde.

Abstract:
The aim of the current study is to analyze the methodological differences between Brazilian anthropometric and dietary surveys, which are classified as home, school and telephone surveys, as well as to reflect about the opportunities and obstacles involved in the use of their secondary data. The documents composing the corpus of the current study were official reports about the surveys. The results indicated methodological differences in the assessment of food intake, anthropometry, frequency and form of access to the databases. The secondary data sources, which were previously limited to the dissemination of printed reports, were made available as micro-data in electronic databases. However, these databases are still little explored by health researchers due to the complex data extraction and analysis. Thus, it is worth including disciplines able to develop skills to use these databases in health graduate courses, since they contain variables related to the population health and nutrition status, in addition to socioeconomic and demographic variables, which are not found in the traditional health information systems. It is concluded that working with secondary data requires qualification and that the use of this source of information contributes to the proper planning in health.
