Resumo:
Estudo transversal, de base escolar, que avaliou insegurança alimentar (IA) e associação com consumo alimentar inadequado (CAI) em 782 escolares (6,90,5 anos) do 1º ano do ensino fundamental das escolas municipais, São Leopoldo, RS. Os dados foram obtidos das mães/responsáveis. Mediu-se IA com a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar, e ingestão com questionário de frequência alimentar. Os alimentos foram classificados em marcadores de alimentação saudável (MAS) e não saudável (MANS) e receberam pontuação segundo a frequência de ingestão. MAS: 0 - 1 dia – zero; 2 a 3 dias – 0,25; 4 a 5 dias – 0,75; 6 a 7 dias – 1, sendo o inverso para os MANS. Os escores podiam variar de 0 a 25 (EMAS) e de 0 a 19 (EMANS). Um escore total (ET) padronizado foi obtido [EMAS*(19/44) + EMANS*(25/44)] e a pontuação podia variar de 0 a 22. Os escores foram categorizados em terços e o 1º considerado CAI. A IA foi de 45,1% e as pontuações médias foram 5,9 (EMAS), 15,9 (EMANS) e 11,6 (ET). Não se identificou associação entre IA e CAI. IA elevada e baixos escores alimentares exigem ações intersetoriais, para garantir acesso à alimentação em quantidade e qualidade adequadas nesta população.

Abstract:
School-based cross sectional study to evaluate the association between food insecurity (FI) and inadequate food intake (IFI), among 782 children (mean age of 6.9±0.5) of the 1st year of primary school in the municipal schools, São Leopoldo, RS. Data were taken from parents/guardians. FI was obtained through the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, and food consumption with food frequency questionnaire. Foods were classified as healthy eating markers (HEM) and unhealthy (UEM) and received scores according to intake frequency. HEM: 0 - 1 day - zero; 2 to 3 days - 0.25; 4 to 5 days - 0.75; 6 to 7 days - 1, and the reverse for the UEM. The scores could range from 0 to 25 (HEMS) and 0 to 19 (UEMS). A standardizedtotal score (TS) was obtained [HEMS * (19/44) + UEMS * (25/44)] and could range from 0 to 22. The scores were categorized into tertils and the 1st considered IFI. The FI was 45.1% and the average scores were 5.9 (HEMS), 15.9 (UEMS) and 11.6 (TS). Not association was found between IA and IFI. IA high and low food scores require intersectoral approaches to ensure access to food in quantity and quality appropriate in this population.
