| dc.description.resumo | Background: Several published studies have reported an association between participation in a food assistance program and greater prevalence of overweight/obesity. Our aim was to compare nutritional status and nutrient consumption between workers from manufacturing companies participant and non-participant in the Brazilian Workers’ Food Program (WFP). Design: Cross-sectional survey, based on a probability sample of manufacturing workers in Brazil obtained by stratifed two-stage sampling, comparative between WFP and non-WFP participating companies. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and nutrient consumption (24-hour recall) were collected by trained nutritionists. Statistical analysis was done separately in each sex with mixed efects multilevel linear regression model including sampling weights and covariate adjustment. Results: Thirty-three companies were randomly selected from all companies in three diferent economic activity sectors (food and beverages, non-metallic minerals, and textiles) in North-eastern Brazil, with stratifcation by company size, and a random sample of 929 workers (484 from non-WFP and 445 from WFP companies) was obtained from those companies. In males, the WFP group had higher BMI (+1.08 kg/m2 , p<0.001), greater WC (+3.27 cm, p<0.001) and greater prevalence of obesity (OR 1.67, p<0.001). In females, no statistical signifcant diferences were observed in anthropometric parameters, but the WFP group had lower prevalence of obesity (OR 0.49, p=0.05). Among workers in companies that provide lunch, males from WFP companies have greater consumption of carbohydrates (+39.5 kcal, p=0.02) and protein (+11.1 kcal, p=0.08), while females have lower protein consumption (−14.2 kcal, p=0.04) and also lower total daily consumption of carbohydrates (−59.3 Kcal, p=0.05) and total lipids (−14.2 Kcal, p=0.04). Conclusions: Participation in the WFP is associated with increased BMI and WC among male workers; however, this association was not found in females. Compared to the non-WFP group, in the WFP group, males have greater consumption of carbohydrates and protein at lunch, while women have lower protein intake. These results indicate the need that proposals for public policies aimed to the improvement of the nutritional status of populations take into consideration the diferent efects of food assistance programs in males and females | pt_BR |
