ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a ingestão de fibra alimentar e fatores associados em adolescentes; identificar as fontes alimentares do nutriente; e verificar a relação de indicadores de práticas alimentares (energia/macro/micronutrientes) com o consumo de fibras. Trata-se de estudo transversal de base populacional com dados de Recordatório de 24 Horas. Utilizou-se a classificação NOVA e foi avaliada a contribuição dos alimentos para o teor de fibras da dieta. Valores de referência da Organização Mundial da Saúde (≥12,5 g) e do Institute of Medicine (14 g) por 1.000 kcal foram usados para avaliar o consumo. A ingestão média foi de 6,4 g de fibra alimentar/1.000 kcal/dia, 1,5 g de solúvel e 4,9 g de insolúvel, para os 891 adolescentes. O consumo de fibras foi baixo, principalmente entre os que ingeriam menos frutas, hortaliças, feijão, mais refrigerante, embutidos, e nos que não consumiam o café da manhã diariamente. Os alimentos in natura forneceram 68,0%, 53,7% e 72,1% da fibra total, solúvel e insolúvel, e os ultraprocessados 24,8%, 37,9% e 21,0%, respectivamente. O consumo de fibras foi inversamente associado ao teor de energia, gordura, açúcar livre e proteína animal da dieta. A ingestão insuficiente de fibras sinaliza a necessidade de promover a alimentação saudável e adequada em nível individual e familiar.


Abstract The aims of the present study were to evaluate dietary fiber intake and associated factors in adolescents, identify food sources of the nutrient, and determine associations between indicators of dietary patterns (energy/macronutrients/micronutrients) and dietary fiber intake. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted involving 24-hour recall data. The NOVA classification was used to determine the contribution of foods to dietary fiber intake. Reference values from the World Health Organization (≥12.5 g) and the US Institute of Medicine (14 g) per 1,000 kcal were used to assess intake. The mean intake of dietary fiber/1,000 kcal/day was 6.4 g (1.5 g of soluble fiber and 4.9 g of insoluble fiber) among the 891 adolescents. Fiber intake was low, especially among those who ate fruits, vegetables, and beans less, those who consumed soft drinks and processed meats more, and those who did not eat breakfast every day. Unprocessed/minimally processed foods provided 68.8%, 53.7%, and 72.1% of total, soluble, and insoluble fiber, respectively, whereas ultra-processed products provided 24.8%, 37.9%, and 21.0% respectively. Fiber intake was inversely associated with energy intake, fat, free sugar, and animal protein in the diet. The insufficient fiber intake underscores the need for actions that promote healthy nutrition on the individual and family levels.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este estudo investiga a associação entre diagnóstico autorreferido de Doença Crônica Não Transmissível (DCNT) e adesão ao distanciamento social e utilização dos serviços de saúde durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Estudo transversal com adultos brasileiros que participaram da ConVid Pesquisa de Comportamentos, realizada de 24 de abril a 24 de maio de 2020, via web (n = 45.161). Considerou as DCNT: diabetes, hipertensão, doença respiratória, doença do coração e câncer. Avaliou a utilização de serviços de saúde e a adesão ao distanciamento social. Estimou as prevalências e razões de prevalências ajustadas (RPa). 33,9% (IC95%: 32,5-35,3) referiu uma ou mais DCNT. Indivíduos com DCNT tiveram maior adesão ao distanciamento social intenso (RPa:1,07; IC95%:1,03-1,11), procuraram mais o serviço de saúde (RPa:1,24; IC95%:1,11-1,38) e tiveram mais dificuldades para marcar consulta (RPa:1,52; IC95%:1,35-1,71), conseguir atendimento de saúde (RPa:1,50; IC95%:1,22-1,84) e medicamentos (RPa:2,17; IC95%:1,77-2,67), realizar exames (RPa:1,78; IC95%:1,50-2,10) e intervenções programadas (RPa:1,65; IC95%:1,16-2,34). A presença de DCNT associou-se à maior adesão ao distanciamento social, procura por atendimento de saúde e dificuldade na utilização dos serviços de saúde.


Abstract The present study investigates the association between the self-reported diagnosis of noncommunicable disease (NCD) and the adherence to social distancing and the use of health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a cross-sectional study with Brazilian adults who participated in the ConVid- Behavior Survey, conducted online between April 24 and May 24, 2020(n = 45.161). This studyconsidered the following NCDs: diabetes, hypertension, respiratory disease, heart disease, and cancer, and evaluated the use of health services and the adherence to social distancing, as well as estimated the prevalences and adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR); 33,9% (95% CI: 32,5-35,3) referred to one or more NCD. Individuals with NCDsshowed a greater adherence to intense social distancing (aPR: 1,07;95% CI: 1,03-1,11), sought out health services more often (aPR:1,24; 95% CI:1,11-1,38), and found greater difficultyin scheduling doctor's appointments (aPR:1.52; 95% CI 1,35-1,71), receiving healthcare treatment (APR:1,50;95% CI:1,22-1,84) and medication (APR:2,17;95% CI:1,77-2,67), and performing examinations (APR:1,78;95% CI:1,50-2,10) and scheduled interventions (APR:1,65;95% CI:1,16-2,34). The presence of NCDs was associated with social distancing, seeking out health care, and difficulty in using health services.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of the perception of eating more than one should and the associated factors in adolescents, and to analyze differences in dietary indicators according to the perception of overeating. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study with a sample of 912 adolescents, participants of a food consumption survey conducted in 2015-2016, in Campinas, SP, Brazil. Results: The prevalence of the perception of eating more than one should was 35.0%, and higher in those who declared themselves non-white, those who had excess weight, those who had high waist circumference, those who would like to change their weight, those who did something to lose weight, and those who evaluated themselves as fat. The prevalence rates were also higher in those who perceived the quality of their diet as poor, who had higher frequencies of consumption of sweets, soft drinks, cold meats, and lower frequencies of consumption of fruits, raw vegetables, and breakfast up to three times a week. Among those who considered themselves as overeating, higher intakes of energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, added sugar, and sodium were observed, and prevalence rates of 38.5% for overweight and 66.2% for obesity were identified. Conclusion: The perception of eating more than one should was associated with unhealthy eating practices, the self-assessment of a poor quality diet, dissatisfaction with weight, and inadequate nutritional status. There is a need for further studies to investigate the application of the question "Do you think that you eat more than you should?" as a health behavior indicator.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Objetivo: Comparar as mudanças de estilos de vida durante a pandemia COVID-19, segundo a presença ou não de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) em adultos brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com dados da pesquisa ConVid - Pesquisa de Comportamentos, realizada entre abril e maio de 2020. Avaliaram-se as variáveis estilo de vida e presença de uma ou mais DCNT (diabetes, hipertensão, doença respiratória, doença do coração e câncer). As características sociodemográficas foram usadas como ajuste. Calcularam-se as frequências relativas e os intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95% das variáveis antes da e durante a pandemia. Para a comparação de grupos, sem ou com DCNT, estimaram-se as prevalências e razões de prevalência bruta e ajustada (RPa) utilizando a regressão de Poisson. Resultados: Houve redução da prática de atividade física (60% nos sem DCNT e 58% nos com DCNT) e do consumo de hortaliças (10,8% nos sem DCNT e 12,7% nos com DCNT). Verificou-se aumento no tempo de uso de televisão e computador/tablet (302 e 43,5% nos sem DCNT e 196,5 e 30,6% nos com DCNT, respectivamente); consumo de congelados (43,6% nos sem DCNT e 53,7% com DCNT), salgadinhos (42,3% sem DCNT e 31,2% com DCNT) e chocolate (14,8% sem DCNT). Durante a pandemia, portadores de DCNT apresentaram menor prática de atividade física suficiente (RPa = 0,77; IC95% 0,65 - 0,92), maior hábito de assistir à televisão (RPa = 1,16; IC95% 1,08 - 1,26) e menor consumo de hortaliças (RPa = 0,88; IC95% 0,81 - 0,96). Conclusão: Evidenciou-se que adultos com DCNT tiveram seus estilos de vida mais alterados durante a pandemia de COVID-19.


ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare lifestyle changes during the COVID-19 pandemic according to the presence or absence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Brazilian adults. Methods: Cross-sectional study, using data from the ConVid survey, between April and May 2020. The following variables were evaluated: lifestyle and presence of one or more NCDs (diabetes, hypertension, respiratory disease, heart disease, and cancer). Sociodemographic characteristics were used as adjustment. Relative frequencies and confidence intervals (CI) of 95% of the explanatory variables were calculated before and during the pandemic. For the comparison of groups, with or without NCDs, crude and adjusted (PRadj) prevalence ratios were estimated by Poisson regression. Results: There was a reduction in physical activity (60% in those without NCDs and 58% in those with NCDs) and in vegetable consumption (10.8% in those without NCDs and 12.7% in those with NCDs). On the other hand, there was an increase in the time spent watching television and on screens of computer/tablet (302% and 43.5% in those without NCDs and 196.5% and 30.6% with NCDs, respectively); consumption of frozen meals (43.6% in those without NCDs and 53.7% with NCDs), snacks (42.3% without NCDs and 31.2% with NCDs), and chocolate (14.8% without NCDs). During the pandemic, patients with NCDs were less active (PRadj = 0.77; 95%CI 0.65 - 0.92), had greater habit of watching TV (PRadj = 1.16; 95%CI 1.08 - 1.26), and consumed less vegetables (PRadj = 0.88; 95%CI 0.81 - 0.96). Conclusion: It was evident that adults with NCDs had their lifestyles more altered during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivou-se estimar as prevalências de autoavaliação da qualidade da dieta de adolescentes e identificar os motivos de não a considerar muito boa/boa; calcular o escore global e de cada componente do Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado (IQD-R) segundo as categorias de autoavaliação. Estudo transversal de base populacional com amostra por conglomerados e em dois estágios, realizado em Campinas-SP. Foram analisadas 891 entrevistas. As prevalências de autoavaliação da qualidade da dieta foram de 57,3% como muito boa/boa, 34,6% como regular e 8,1% como ruim/muito ruim. A autoavaliação como regular ou ruim foi associada ao consumo de doces, salgadinhos/biscoitos, cereais integrais (10-14 anos) e de fast-food (15-19 anos). Para os que foram classificados com pior qualidade da dieta (1º tercil dos escores do IQD-R), 52,5% consideravam a alimentação muito boa/boa e apenas 13,1% como ruim/muito ruim. O escore do IQD-R revelou-se significativamente menor nos que achavam a alimentação ruim (50,0 pontos) comparados aos que disseram muito boa/boa (55,4 pontos). Os que consideravam a alimentação ruim apresentaram consumo inferior de frutas, cereais integrais, e superior de gorduras sólidas e açúcares. Os achados revelam incoerência na autoavaliação da qualidade da dieta em relação aos escores insatisfatórios observados.


Abstract The aim was to estimate the prevalence of categories of self-rated diet quality according to adolescents, identify the reasons for not considering the diet very good/good as well as calculate the global Revised Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised (BHEI-r) score and component scores according to the self-assessment categories. A cross-sectional population-based study with two-stage stratified cluster sampling was conducted in Campinas-SP. A total of 891 adolescents were analyzed. The proportions of very good/good, fair and poor/very poor self-rated diet quality were 57.3%, 34.6% and 8.1%, respectively. Fair/poor/very poor self-rated diet quality was associated with the consumption of candy/sweets, snacks/cookies, whole grains (10-14 years) and fast food (15-19 years). Among those classified as having poor diet quality (1st tertile of BHEI-r scores), 52.5% considered their diet to be very good/good and only 13.1% considered their diet to be poor/very poor. The BHEI-r score was significantly lower among those who thought their diet was poor (50.0 points) compared to those who thought their diet was very good/good (55.4 points). Those who considered their diet to be poor had lower intakes of fruit and whole grains as well as higher intakes of solid fats and sugars. The findings reveal incoherence between self-rated diet quality and the observed unsatisfactory diet scores.

Métodos: Estudo transversal com dados de pesquisa de comportamentos realizada pela internet de 24 de abril a 24 de maio de 2020 com 45.161 participantes recrutados por amostragem em cadeia. Foi feita uma análise descritiva de temas abordados na pesquisa: adesão às medidas de restrição social, diagnóstico do novo coronavírus, situação de trabalho e rendimentos, dificuldades nas atividades de rotina, presença de comorbidades, estado de ânimo e acesso aos serviços de saúde. Foram estimados as prevalências e os intervalos de 95% de confiança. Resultados: Aproximadamente 75% dos brasileiros aderiram à restrição social. Quanto aos sintomas de gripe, 28,1% relatou ter apresentado algum sintoma, mas apenas 5,9% realizou teste para COVID-19. Em relação à situação socioeconômica, 55,1% relatou diminuição do rendimento familiar, e 7% ficou sem rendimento; 25,8% dos indivíduos ficaram sem trabalhar, sendo o grupo de trabalhadores informais o mais afetado (50,6%). Quanto às condições de saúde, 29,4% avaliou que a sua saúde piorou; 45% teve problemas no sono, 40% apresentou, frequentemente, sentimento de tristeza e 52,5% de ansiedade/nervosismo; 21,7% procurou serviço de saúde e, entre estes, 13,9% não conseguiu atendimento. Conclusão: Os achados mostram a importância do controle da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil, para mitigar os efeitos adversos na situação socioeconômica e nas condições de saúde relacionados às medidas de restrição social.


ABSTRACT: Objective: To describe changes in socioeconomic and health conditions of Brazilians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Cross-sectional study with data from a web-based behavioral survey carried out from April 24 to May 24, 2020, with 45,161 participants recruited by the chain sampling method. A descriptive analysis of the survey topics was performed: adherence to social restriction measures, diagnosis of the new coronavirus, work situation and income, difficulties in routine activities, presence of comorbidities, psychological issues, and access to health services. Prevalence and respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated. Results: Approximately 74% of Brazilians adhered to social restrictions. As for flu symptoms, 28.1% reported having at least one flu symptom, but only 5.9% underwent testing for COVID-19. Regarding the socioeconomic impact, 55.1% reported a decrease in family income, and 7.0% were left without any income; 25.8% of the people lost their jobs, with the group of informal workers being the most affected (50.6%). As for health conditions, 29.4% reported worsening of health status; 45%, having sleep problems; 40% frequently presented feelings of sadness, and 52.5%, of anxiety; 21.7% sought health care, and, among them, 13.9% did not get care. Conclusion: The findings show the importance of controlling the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, to mitigate the adverse effects on the socioeconomic and health conditions related to social restriction measures.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Objetivo: Estimar a magnitude das desigualdades de renda nas prevalências de dependência funcional em atividades básicas e instrumentais da vida diária (ABVDs e AIVDs, respectivamente) e no abandono de atividades avançadas (AAVDs). Métodos: Estudo transversal, de base populacional, desenvolvido com dados de amostra de 986 idosos de inquérito de saúde realizado no município de Campinas, São Paulo, em 2014/15. Foram estimadas as prevalências de dependência funcional em ABVDs e AIVDs e de abandono das AAVDs segundo a renda familiar mensal per capita, bem como desenvolvidas análises de regressão múltipla de Poisson para estimar razões de prevalência (RPs) ajustadas por sexo e idade. Resultados: Não houve associação significativa entre renda e dependência funcional em ABVDs. Das sete AIVDs analisadas, cinco apresentaram maior prevalência de dependência no estrato de menor renda, com destaque para o uso de telefone (RP = 3,50), o controle do uso de remédios (RP = 2,40) e o uso de transporte (RP = 2,35). O abandono de AAVDs foi maior entre os idosos de menor renda em todas as atividades analisadas, com maiores desigualdades observadas no contato por carta, telefone e e-mail (RP = 3,76), no uso de internet (RP = 3,34), em dirigir veículos (RP = 2,85) e na visita a familiares (RP = 2,77). Conclusão: As amplas desigualdades detectadas entre estratos de renda quanto à capacidade funcional nas AIVDs e no abandono das AAVDs ressaltam a importância da plena implementação e manutenção de políticas e programas voltados à proteção social de idosos, focando, em especial, os segmentos socialmente mais vulneráveis, na perspectiva de se atingir um patamar populacional mais equânime de um envelhecimento ativo, participativo e independente.


ABSTRACT: Objective: Estimate the magnitude of the income inequality in the prevalence of functional dependency for basic and instrumental activities of daily life (BADLs, IADLs) and the abandonment of advanced activities (AADLs). Methods: This was a cross-sectional, population-based study, developed using sample data of 986 elderly people from a health survey carried out in the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo, in 2014/15. The prevalence of functional dependency in BADLs and IADLs and of abandonment of the AADLs was estimated according to monthly family income per capita. A multiple regression Poisson analysis was developed to estimate the prevalence ratio (PR) adjusted by gender and age. Results: There was no significant association between income and functional dependency for BADLs. Of the seven IADLs analyzed, five presented a higher prevalence of dependency in the lower-income stratum, with special highlight to using the phone (PR = 3.50), controlling medication usage (PR = 2.44), and use of transportation (PR = 2.35). The abandonment of AADLs was higher among low-income elderly people in all activities analyzed, with the greatest inequalities observed in making contact by letter, phone and e-mail (PR = 3.76), using the Internet (PR = 3.34), driving vehicles (PR = 2.85) and visiting family (PR = 2.77). Conclusions: The broad inequality detected among income stratum regarding the functional capability for the IADLs and abandonment of the AADLs emphasize the importance of fully implementing and maintaining the policies and programs directed toward the social protection of elderly adults. The focus should be on the most socially vulnerable segments, with the aim of achieving a population that is more equal, active, independent, and involved in participatory ageing.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a existência de desigualdades raciais na prevalência de problemas emocionais, na busca por serviços de saúde e no uso de psicotrópicos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de base populacional que utilizou dados do inquérito de saúde de Campinas (ISACamp) em 2014/15. Analisou-se 1.953 indivíduos com 20 anos ou mais de idade. Foram estimadas prevalências de transtorno mental comum (TMC), de relato de problemas emocionais, de insônia, de busca e uso de serviço de saúde e de uso de psicotrópicos segundo cor da pele autorreferida, tendo como categorias: brancos e pretos/pardos. Razões de prevalência foram estimadas com uso de regressão múltipla de "Poisson". A prevalência de TMC foi mais elevada nos pretos/pardos em comparação aos brancos, mas não houve diferença entre eles quanto ao relato de problemas emocionais e de insônia. Verificou-se que os brancos procuraram mais os serviços de saúde por causa do problema emocional. O uso de psicotrópicos também foi superior nos brancos. Os resultados revelaram a presença de desigualdades raciais na presença de TMC, na procura de serviços de saúde e no uso de psicotrópicos, ressaltando a necessidade de ações que identifiquem e superem as barreiras que dificultam o acesso aos cuidados de saúde mental pelos diferentes segmentos raciais.


Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the existence of racial inequalities in the prevalence of emotional problems, the search for healthcare services and the use of psychotropic drugs. A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted with data from the 2014/15 Campinas Health Survey. Sample of 1953 individuals aged 20 years or older was analyzed. We estimated the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMDs), the reporting of emotional problems, insomnia, the search for and the use of healthcare services and the use of psychotropic drugs according to self-reported skin color (white and black/brown). Prevalence ratios were estimated using "Poisson" multiple regression. The prevalence of CMDs was higher among blacks/brown compared to whites but no difference was found regarding the reporting of emotional problems and insomnia. Whites sought healthcare services more due to emotional problems. The use of psychotropic drugs was also higher among whites. The results revealed racial inequalities in the presence of CMDs, the search for healthcare services and the use of psychotropics drugs, highlighting the need for actions to identify and overcome barriers that hinder access to mental health care by different racial segments of the population.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é verificar a associação entre queda e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde considerando idosos de diferentes segmentos demográficos e socioeconômicos. O estudo foi desenvolvido com dados do Inquérito Domiciliar de Saúde (ISACamp) realizado em Campinas, SP, em 2014 e 2015. A QVRS foi avaliada por meio dos oito domínios e dos dois componentes do SF-36. Utilizou-se o Stata 15.0 para as análises de regressão linear simples e múltipla a fim de determinar as associações entre quedas e QVRS segundo sexo, idade, renda e escolaridade. Declínios significativos dos escores em capacidade funcional, aspectos físicos e dor, e no componente físico foram observados nos idosos do sexo feminino (não no masculino) e naqueles de menor renda; nos indivíduos com 75 anos ou mais e menor escolaridade, além destas dimensões, também ocorreram declínios nos aspectos emocionais e na saúde mental. Os resultados revelam que o impacto das quedas na QVRS difere conforme o segmento socioeconômico e demográfico do idoso, indicando que cuidados e estratégias especiais devem ser dedicados aos subgrupos mais vulneráveis, incluindo a atenção aos aspectos emocionais.


Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the association between falls and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older adults considering different demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. This study was developed with data from the Household Health Survey conducted in the city of Campinas, Brazil, in 2014 and 2015. HRQoL was investigated using the eight domains and two components of the SF-36 questionnaire. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed with the aid of the Stata 15.0 program to determine the association between falls and HRQoL according to sex, age, income and schooling. Significant declines in the scores of the physical functioning, role physical and bodily pain domains as well as the physical component were found among women (not men) and individuals with a lower income. Among individuals aged 75 years or older and those with less schooling, declines occurred in these same domains as well as in the role emotional and mental health domains. The results reveal that the impact of falls on HRQoL differs depending on the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of older adults, indicating that specific care strategies should target more vulnerable subgroups, with attention given to emotional aspects.
