0469/2018 - Padrões alimentares de idosos e seus determinantes: Estudo de base populacional no Sul do Brasil. Dietary patterns of brazilian elderly and their determinants: Population based study in Southern Brazil.
Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de fatores demográficos e socioeconômicos, de doenças crônicas e do recebimento de orientações em saúde no padrão alimentar de idosos. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado por meio de questionário de frequência alimentar reduzido aplicado a 1.426 idosos residentes em Pelotas, RS, Brasil e os padrões alimentares foram obtidos por análise de componentes principais. Dois padrões foram identificados: saudável (composto por alimentos integrais, frutas, legumes/verduras e leite) e ocidental (composto por doces, frituras, alimentos congelados, embutidos e fast food). Mulheres, não fumantes e não dependentes alcoólicos aderiam mais ao padrão saudável, enquanto que homens, fumantes, dependentes alcóolicos e indivíduos com sobrepeso aderiam mais ao padrão ocidental. Maior renda e escolaridade estiveram associadas à maior adesão de ambos os padrões e a presença de doenças crônicas não esteve associada a nenhum padrão. O recebimento de orientações para hábitos saudáveis esteve associado à maior adesão ao padrão saudável e menor ao padrão ocidental. Há necessidade do fortalecimento de orientações eficazes sobre hábitos saudáveis nos serviços de saúde, com especial atenção para idosos do sexo masculino, tabagistas, dependentes alcoólicos e indivíduos com sobrepeso.
This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the association of demographic and socioeconomic factors, chronic morbidities and receipt of health advice with dietary patterns of elderly. A reduced food frequency questionnaire was applied to 1,426 older adults in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, and dietary patterns were obtained using principal component analysis. Two dietary patterns were identified: healthy pattern (consisted of wholegrain food, fruits, vegetables, and milk) and Western pattern (comprising sweets, fried foods, frozen foods, sausages and fast food). Females, non-smokers, and non-alcoholic individuals adhered more to the healthy pattern, as males, smokers, alcoholics, and overweight individuals adhered more to the Western pattern. Higher income and schooling were associated with higher adherence to both patterns, and chronic diseases were not associated to any of the patterns. The receipt of advice for healthy habits was associated with greater adherence to the healthy dietary pattern and lower adherence to the Western pattern. There is a need to strengthen effective guidance on healthy habits in health services to promote healthier eating practices, with special attention to males, smokers, alcoholics and overweight elderly.

Resumo (abstract):
This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the association of demographic and socioeconomic factors, chronic morbidities and receipt of health advice with dietary patterns of elderly. A reduced food frequency questionnaire was applied to 1,426 older adults in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, and dietary patterns were obtained using principal component analysis. Two dietary patterns were identified: healthy pattern (consisted of wholegrain food, fruits, vegetables, and milk) and Western pattern (comprising sweets, fried foods, frozen foods, sausages and fast food). Females, non-smokers, and non-alcoholic individuals adhered more to the healthy pattern, as males, smokers, alcoholics, and overweight individuals adhered more to the Western pattern. Higher income and schooling were associated with higher adherence to both patterns, and chronic diseases were not associated to any of the patterns. The receipt of advice for healthy habits was associated with greater adherence to the healthy dietary pattern and lower adherence to the Western pattern. There is a need to strengthen effective guidance on healthy habits in health services to promote healthier eating practices, with special attention to males, smokers, alcoholics and overweight elderly.
