Resumo
Introdução: Cada vez mais, tem-se investigado a influência do ambiente social e
construído no estado de saúde dos indivíduos. Objetivo: Analisar as relações entre
fatores ambientais relacionados ao acesso e disponibilidade de alimentos e o consumo
de alimentos ultraprocessados por crianças menores de dez anos, residentes no
município de Santos. Métodos: O estudo apresentou delineamento transversal e
parcialmente ecológico, com um componente de base domiciliar e um componente
ambiental. Nos domicílios investigou-se o consumo alimentar habitual de 528 crianças
menores de dez anos e, no componente ambiental, realizou-se entrevista em 672
comércios. Os padrões de consumo alimentar segundo o processamento industrial dos
alimentos ingeridos foram verificados pela análise de cluster. A análise de regressão
avaliou a associação entre o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e o estado
nutricional das crianças avaliadas. Para a investigação do efeito de variáveis ambientais
no consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados utilizou-se a análise multinível. Resultados:
Foram identificados dois agrupamentos de crianças que consumiam alimentos com
diferentes graus de processamento industrial. A proporção de consumo de alimentos
ultraprocessados associou-se positivamente com o IMC/idade das crianças avaliadas.
Quanto maior a disponibilidade de alimentos ultraprocessados nos comércios
localizados em um buffer de 500m do centroide do setor censitário, maior a proporção
de consumo desses alimentos e menor a ingestão de alimentos minimamente
processados pelas crianças avaliadas. Conclusão: O consumo de alimentos
ultraprocessados tem impacto sobre o estado nutricional dos indivíduos e a oferta desses
alimentos na vizinhança relaciona-se positivamente com a proporção de consumo desses
alimentos.
Introduction: Increasingly, we have investigated the effect of built and social environment in the state of health of individuals. Objective: To investigate the relationship between environmental factors related to access and food availability and consumption of processed foods by children under ten years old, living in the city of Santos. Methods: The study had a cross-sectional design, with a home-based component and an environmental component. In households investigated habitual food intake of 528 children under ten years and the environmental component, interviews took place in 672 trades. The food consumption patterns according to the industrial processing of food intake were performed by cluster analysis. Regression analysis examined the association between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and nutritional status of children. The multilevel analysis evaluated the relationship between the environmental variables and the consumption of ultra-processed foods. Results: We identified two groups of children who consumed foods with different degrees of processing. The proportion of consumption of ultra-processed foods was positively associated with BMI-for- age of the children. The greater availability of ultra-processed foods in the shops located in a buffer of 500m from the centroid of the census tract, the greater proportion of consumption of these foods and lower intake of minimally processed foods by the children evaluated. Conclusion: The consumption of ultra-processed foods has an impact on the nutritional status of individuals and the provision of food in the neighborhood relates positively with the proportion of these foods
