0374/2024 - Table sugar and sweetener as added items in diet of the Brazilian population: National Dietary Survey, 2017-2018 Table sugar and sweeteners as added items in diet of the Brazilian population: National Dietary Survey, 2017-2018.
Descrever a prevalência de açúcar de mesa e adoçantes como itens de adição e dos alimentos adicionados de açúcar e adoçantes segundo o perfil sociodemográfico e status de peso da população brasileira. Os dados são do segundo Inquérito Nacional de Alimentação de 2017-2018, realizado com 44.744 indivíduos com dez anos ou mais. Foram estimadas prevalências e intervalos de confiança de 95% para o uso de açúcares e adoçantes segundo sexo, faixa etária, renda, escolaridade, área do domicílio, macrorregiões do país, situação de peso e também foram estimados os alimentos adicionados de açúcar e adoçantes. As maiores prevalências de uso de adoçantes foram observadas entre idosos (19,4%) e mulheres (10,4%). Os idosos (57,4%) e adolescentes (60,6%) utilizaram menos açúcar de adição. Indivíduos com maior renda e escolaridade consumiram menos açúcar e mais adoçantes. A área urbana utilizou mais adoçantes (9,1% vs. 3,8%) e menos açúcar (62,2% vs. 70,9%) do que a área rural. Adultos e idosos com excesso de peso, de ambos os sexos, apresentaram maior prevalência do uso de adoçantes. Sucos de frutas e artificiais e café foram as bebidas com maior adição de açúcar; enquanto sucos artificiais e de frutas e bebidas alcoólicas foram as bebidas que mais adicionaram adoçantes. Os achados mostraram uma determinação social e demográfica do uso de açúcar e adoçantes como itens de adição no Brasil.

The data camethe second National Dietary Survey 2017-2018, conducted with 44.744 individuals aged ten years and over. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals for table sugar and sweeteners use were estimated according to sex, age group, income, schooling, household area, macro regions of the country, weight status and the foods added table sugar and sweeteners were also estimated. The highest prevalence of sweeteners use was observed among the elderly (19.4%) and women (10.4%). The elderly and adolescents used less added table sugar (57.4% and 60.6%, respectively). Individuals with higher income and schooling consumed less table sugar and more sweeteners. Urban area used more sweeteners (9.1% vs. 3.8%) and less table sugar (62.2% vs. 70.9%) than rural area. Over weight adults and elderly people of both sexes had highest prevalence of sweeteners. Fruit juices, artificial juices and coffee were the beverages most added table sugar; while artificial juices, fruit juices and alcoholic beverages were the beverages most added sweeteners.
