Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT Objective To review the consumption of ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages among children under 24 months of age in an Amazonian municipality. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out during the National Vaccination Campaigns in the years 2016 and 2017 using a two-stage cluster sampling approach. The survey instrument was based on the questionnaire from the II Breastfeeding Prevalence Survey issued by the Ministry of Health, Brazil. Data collection was carried out with the mothers or caregivers. Poisson regression with robust variance was used, with a significance level set at less than 5%. Results A total of 688 children were evaluated. The consumption of ultra-processed foods was 98.9% and that of sugar-sweetened beverages was 72.7%. Factors associated with such consumption were low paternal education, lower total family income, living in rural areas, and the child’s age range between 6 and 11 months. Conclusion The consumption of ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages was high considering the recommendations of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The factors identified as contributing to this practice emphasize the necessity of supporting the development of interventions to promote healthy eating habits.
RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e bebidas açucaradas em crianças menores de 24 meses em um município da Amazônia. Métodos Estudo transversal realizado durante as Campanhas Nacionais de Vacinação nos anos de 2016 e 2017. O cálculo amostral foi feito por conglomerados em dois estágios. O instrumento de pesquisa teve como base o questionário da II Pesquisa de Prevalência de Aleitamento Materno do Ministério da Saúde. A coleta de dados foi realizada com as mães ou acompanhantes das crianças. Utilizou-se o modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, considerando um nível de significância menor de 5%. Resultados Foram avaliadas 688 crianças. O consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados foi de 98,9% e de bebidas açucaradas foi de 72,7%. Os fatores associados ao consumo desses alimentos foram a baixa escolaridade paterna, menor renda familiar total, residir na zona rural e idade entre 6 e 11 meses. Conclusão O consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e bebidas açucaradas estão elevados frente às recomendações do Ministério da Saúde. Os fatores que contribuíram para essa prática reforçam a necessidade de subsidiar o desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção da alimentação saudável. |
