这项研究的目的是评估巴西儿童的饮食模式和与更好的饮食相关的因素。作者使用了2006-2007年巴西全国人口与健康调查中2,477名6至36个月大的儿童的数据。使用综合指数对饮食进行评估和分类。结果显示，28.2%的儿童接受了优质饮食，20%的儿童饮食多样化。来自社会经济贫困家庭或严重粮食不安全家庭的儿童获得高质量饮食的可能性约低40%。生活在粮食不安全的家庭中的儿童有多样化饮食的可能性降低了71%，而那些母亲受教育程度有限的儿童则降低了43%。居住在巴西北部的儿童不太可能拥有多样化和高质量的饮食。巴西儿童的饮食质量不足，社会脆弱性与这种不良的饮食状况密切相关。
The objective of this study was to assess dietary patterns in Brazilian children and factors associated with better diet. The authors used data for 2,477 children 6 to 36 months of age from the Brazilian National Survey of Demographic and Health in 2006-2007. Diet was assessed and classified using a composite index. The results showed that 28.2% of the children received a high-quality diet and 20% had a diversified diet. Children from socioeconomically underprivileged families or with serious food insecurity were approximately 40% less likely to have high quality diets. Children living in homes with food insecurity were 71% less likely to have diversified diets, and those whose mothers had limited education were 43% less likely. Children residing in the North of Brazil were less likely to have diversified and high-quality diets. The dietary quality of Brazilian children is inadequate, and social vulnerability is closely associated with this adverse dietary situation.
