0612/2013 - Prevalência e fatores associados à Insegurança Alimentar e Nutricional em famílias dos municípios do norte de Alagoas, Brasil, 2010 Prevalence and factors associated with food and nutrition insecurity in families of the municipalities of northern Alagoas State, Brazil, 2010
Objetivou-se identificar a prevalência e os fatores associados à insegurança alimentar (INSAN) em famílias do norte de Alagoas. Para isso, realizou-se estudo transversal com amostra probabilística de 1.444 famílias. A INSAN (leve, moderada ou grave) foi definida segundo a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. Utilizou-se a razão de prevalência (RP), calculada por regressão de Poisson, para avaliar a associação da INSAN moderada+grave com as variáveis independentes (socioeconômicas, demográficas e antropométricas), tanto na análise bruta como na ajustada. Nesta, foram incluídas as variáveis que na análise bruta atingiram p<0,2. A INSAN foi detectada em 919 famílias (63,6%), sendo 14,2% e 23,3% nas formas moderada e grave, respectivamente. Houve maior proporção de INSAN nas famílias com indivíduos <18 anos (65,8% vs. 55,4%; p=0,001). As variáveis que permaneceram independentemente associadas (p<0,05) à INSAN moderada+grave foram: cômodos no domicílio ≤4, escolaridade do(a) chefe da família ≤4 anos, água de beber diferente de mineral, beneficiário do Programa Bolsa Família, número de residentes no domicílio >4, chefe da família ser do sexo feminino e escolaridade materna ≤4 anos. Conclui-se que as famílias estudadas apresentam alta prevalência de INSAN, sobretudo aquelas com indivíduos <18 anos.
The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence and factors associated with food insecurity (INSEC) in families of the north of Alagoas. We carried out a cross-sectional study with random sample of 1444 households, which were classified according to the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, into the following categories: "security" or mild, moderate or severe INSEC. We used the prevalence ratio, calculated by Poisson regression, to investigate the association of moderate+severe INSEC with the independent variables (socioeconomic, demographic and anthropometric) in both crude and adjusted analysis. In this, were included the variables that in the crude analysis reached p<0.2. INSEC was detected in 919 families (63.6%), of which, 14.2% and 23.3% in the moderate or severe form, respectively. There was a higher proportion of food insecurity in the families with subjects <18 years (65.8% vs. 55.4%, p=0.001). The variables that remained independently associated (p<0.05) to moderate+severe food insecurity were: rooms in the household ≤4, schooling of the household head ≤4 years, drinking water other than mineral, beneficiary of the Bolsa Família Program, number of residents in the household >4, head of household is female and schooling of the housewife ≤4 years. We conclude that the families studied showed a high prevalence of INSEC, especially those with individuals <18 years.
