0399/2016 - Insegurança Alimentar e estado nutricional entre indivíduos em situação de vulnerabilidade social no Brasil Food insecurity and nutritional status of individuals in situation of social vulnerability in Brazil
O objetivo foi investigar a associação entre a insegurança alimentar (IA) e indicadores antropométricos, entre os beneficiários do programa Restaurantes Populares, (RPs). Este foi um estudo transversal. As associações foram analisadas pelo teste do qui-quadrado e regressão de Poisson. Os sujeitos foram 1.232 usuários de RPs do Brasil. Homens com IA grave apresentaram menor média de IMC (-1,53 kg/m2) e uma menor porcentagem de gordura corporal (- 3,83 pontos percentuais). Homens que apresentaram um percentual de gordura classificados como \"risco de doenças associadas à desnutrição\" tiveram 2,34 vezes mais chance de sofrer IA grave, assim como aqueles que apresentavam baixo peso (RP: 2,64). No entanto, estes resultados não permaneceram significativos após a regressão de Poisson. Quanto às mulheres, não houve associação significativa entre as variáveis estudadas e IA. A alta prevalência de sobrepeso e gordura corporal em todos os níveis de IA para ambos os sexos indica a complexidade do cenário brasileiro quanto ao aspecto nutricional, excesso de peso em comunidades carentes.

Abstract:
The objective was to investigate the association between food insecurity (FI) and anthropometric indicators among beneficiaries of a Brazilian social program called Community Canteens (CCs). This was a cross-sectional study. The associations were analyzed by chi-square test and Poisson’s regression. The subjects were 1,232 users of Brazil’s CCs. Men with severe FI presented lower mean BMI (-1.53 kg/m2) and a lower body fat percentage (-3.83 percentage points). Men that presented fat percentage classified as “risk of diseases associated with malnutrition” had a 2.34 times greater chance of experiencing severe FI, as did those who presented low weight (PR: 2.64). However, these results did not remain significant after Poisson’s regression. Regarding women, there were no significant associations between the variables studied and FI. High prevalence of overweight and body fat in population in all the FI levels and for both sexes indicate the complexity of the Brazilian nutritional scenario, excess weight in poor communities.
