Consumo de alimentos processados e ultraprocessados em adolescentes: associações com a prevalência de inadequação de nutrientes e os fatores de risco cardiometabólicos. 2017. 96f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Nutrição) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2017.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/24918Eating habits in adolescence are characterized by high consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods and may result in micronutrient deficiency and the early occurrence of chronic noncommunicable diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods and the relationships between the prevalence of nutrient inadequacy and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 444 adolescents from public schools in the city of Natal, Northeastern Brazil. The variables family history of risk factors for cardiovascular disease, maternal schooling, anthropometric nutritional status, sexual maturation, blood pressure and lipid profile were investigated. Dietary and food intake data were obtained by two 24-hour recalls. The foods consumed were classified according to the type of processing. The prevalence of micronutrient inadequacy was estimated using the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) as the cut-off point, except for the iron in which the manually determined probabilistic approach was used. An ordinal logistic regression was performed to estimate the relationship between the consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods and the prevalence of micronutrient inadequacy and cardiomathobolic risk factors. At P25-P50 the consumption of processed foods was 10.4 (1.2)% and the ultraprocessed consumption was 31.5 (2.2)%, of the total energy. There was a high prevalence of inadequate intake of vitamins D, folate, vitamin E, calcium and selenium in both sexes. The higher intake of processed foods was positively associated with an increase in the prevalence of inadequate vitamin B1 (p = 0.04, PR 0.55) and selenium (p <0.01, PR = 1.97) and higher intake of (p = 0.03, PR = 0.49) and zinc (p <0.01, PR = 0.49). The highest processed consumption was associated with hypercholesterolemia (p = 0.04, PR = 3.08) and hypertriglyceridemia (p = 0.02, PR = 3.79). Low maternal schooling was also associated with higher consumption of processed (p <0.01, PR = 1.72) and ultraprocessed foods (p = 0.03, PR = 0.36). Excessive consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods by adolescents is associated with an increase in the prevalence of inadequate nutrients, especially vitamin B1, selenium and zinc, as well as cardiometabolic risk factors, implying short-term and long-term health losses.Acesso AbertoAdolescenteAlimentos industrializadosConsumo de alimentosMicronutrientesFatores de riscoConsumo de alimentos processados e ultraprocessados em adolescentes: associações com a prevalência de inadequação de nutrientes e os fatores de risco cardiometabólicosmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAO
