Adesão as práticas alimentares recomendadas pelo Guia Alimentar para a população brasileira e aspectos sociodemográficos: estudo Brazuca-Natal. Orientadora: Dra. Clélia de Oliveira Lyra. 2023. 48f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Nutrição) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/57262The Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian People (DGBP) brings an expanded paradigm of healthy eating to guide healthy eating practices, respecting the diversity of Brazilian food culture. Adherence to the DGBP scale analyzes adherence to the guide's recommendations, including markers related to the type of food processing (NOVA Classification) and dietary practices divided into four dimensions: choice of foods, eating methods, planning, and family organization. Considering the worsening of social inequality indicators in recent years in Brazil, understanding which sociodemographic aspects are associated with the adherence of adults and older adults to FGBP recommendations is a challenge. The aim was to analyze adherence to the DGBP recommendations by the BRAZUCA's participants (Brazilian Usual Consumption Assessment) Natal Study, considering sociodemographic aspects. It is a cross-sectional survey with 411 adults and older adults in Natal, Brazil. We selected people from a probabilistic cluster sample in two stages (census sectors and households). An electronic questionnaire on the Epicollect 5 digital platform was applied to data collection with sociodemographic data and a multidimensional scale to measure adherence to dietary practices recommended by the DGBP. The scale consists of 24 questions, following a Likert scale (I totally disagree; I disagree; I agree; I totally agree). The final score can range from 0 to 72. It is classified as low and medium adherence (<41 points) or high adherence to the recommendations of DGBP (>=41 points). A bivariate analysis was performed to verify the association between commitment to eating practices recommended by the DGBP and sociodemographic variables. For the multiple analysis, unconditional logistic regression was used. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) were demonstrated. The mean score was 40.5 (SD 7.9), and we observed high adherence to the DGBP in 46.7% (42.1%-51.3%) of the population. We verify a significant association between females (OR=1,70; IC 95% 1,10-2,64) and older adults (OR=2,27; IC 95% 1,36-3,80). The individuals who declared a monthly per capita income of less than one Brazilian minimum wage were less likely to have high adherence to DGBP recommendations which was worse for those with income ≤1/4 minimum wage (OR=0,25; IC 95% 0,12-0,53). We conclude that being female and being an older adult are conditions that predict greater adherence to eating practices recommended by the DGPB. People who have low per capita income have lower adherence to the DGBP. In addition, it is essential to have high access to food practices aligned with DGBP among adults and older adults in Natal, Brazil.Acesso AbertoComportamento alimentarPráticas alimentares saudáveisDieta saudávelInquéritos alimentaresmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAO
