ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

in the Brazilian population it is noted that obesity is increasing in all ages, particularly in the elderly, due to changes in habits and the consumption of foods with high energy density. The objective of this study was to reanalyze the data from a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) in order to obtain new food patterns from the elderly population.

METHODS:

sociodemographic data, morbidities, and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) results were collected from a representative sample of 355 elderly in the city of Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil, and stratified by Basic Health Unit in the municipality. The data from the FFQ were transformed into daily consumption, and only foods with an intake of at least 40 % were included in the analysis. Eating patterns were obtained by means of an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using the principal component method, associating them with obesity and demographic variables obtained via structural equation models (SEMs).

RESULTS:

with the data from the FFQ, four eating patterns were obtained using the exploratory and confirmatory factor

analysis:

healthy, traditional, snacks and weekend meals, and mild diet. Using SEMs and considering general obesity as measured by the body mass index (BMI), being female, younger, hypertensive, diabetic, and having lower adherence to the traditional pattern increases BMI. Additionally, using SEMs and considering central obesity as measured by waist circumference (WC), being hypertensive or diabetic, and having a lower adherence to the traditional pattern increases WC.

CONCLUSION:

removing excess zeroes from FFQ data it was possible to obtain well-defined eating patterns using the exploratory and confirmatory analysis, and to associate them with obesity through SEMs
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

en la población brasileña se observa que la obesidad ha aumentado en todas las edades, incluidas las personas mayores, debido a los cambios en los hábitos y el consumo de alimentos con alta densidad energética. El objetivo de este estudio fue volver a analizar los datos de un cuestionario de frecuencia alimentaria (FFQ) con el fin de obtener los nuevos patrones dietéticos de la población de edad avanzada.

MÉTODOS:

se recogieron datos sociodemográficos y de morbilidad, y los resultados de un cuestionario de frecuencia alimentaria (FFQ) de una muestra representativa de 355 personas mayores de la ciudad de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brasil, y se estratificaron por Unidad Básica de Salud del municipio. Los datos del FFQ se transformaron en consumo diario y solo se incluyeron en el análisis alimentos con al menos un 40 % de consumo. Los patrones dietéticos se obtuvieron mediante el análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatório con el método del componente principal, asociándolos con la obesidad y las variables demográficas mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM).

RESULTADOS:

con los datos del FFQ se obtuvieron cuatro patrones dietéticos mediante el análisis exploratorio y confirmatorio saludable, tradicional, tapas y comidas de fin de semana, y dieta ligera. Con los SEM y considerando la obesidad general medida por el índice de masa corporal (IMC), ser mujer, más joven, hipertensa, diabética y con menos adherencia al patrón tradicional aumenta el IMC. Además, con los SEM y considerando la obesidad central medida por la circunferencia de la cintura (WC), ser hipertenso, diabético y tener una menor adherencia al patrón tradicional aumenta los valores de WC.

CONCLUSIONES:

el análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio reveló los patrones dietéticos y los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales resultaron útiles para obtener las relaciones existentes entre los resultados de interés
