Dairy products consumption in Brazil is associated with socioeconomic and demographic factors: Results from the National Dietary Survey 2008-2009

Abstract

Objective: To estimate the consumption of dairy products in the Brazilian population. Methods: Data from two non-consecutive food records from 34,003 individuals (aged ³10 years) in the first Brazilian nationally representative dietary survey (2008-2009) were used to estimate the dairy products intake. Dairy products were divided into four major subgroups: cow's milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products. Absolute and relative frequencies of individuals in the population who reported consumption of dairy products in at least one of the two-day food record according to sex, age, geographic region and levels of per capita monthly family income were calculated. Moreover, the mean consumption of dairy products, as well as their nutritional contribution in total energy, protein, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium intake was estimated. Results: It was observed that only 43.0% of the population reported consuming dairy products, being the milk subgroup the most frequently consumed (21.1%). The prevalence of consumption was higher among females, elderly, residents of the South region, and among individuals from higher per capita monthly family income. The nutritional contribution of dairy products was less than 10.0% of total energy intake and for most nutrients and the mean daily consumption are justified was 101.8g. Conclusion: Therefore, in view of the low intake of dairy products by Brazilian population and the nutritional benefits associated with this food group, public health strategies to increase dairy consumption are justified.

Added sugar and trans fatty acid intake and sedentary behavior were associated with excess total‐body and central adiposity in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease

“…For entering the 24‐hour recall data in the NDSR software, the standardized methodological for dietary intake assessment was used. Several studies that evaluated food intake in Brazil have used NDSR to assess dietary intake To adjust dietary intake for intra‐and‐interpersonal variability with the intention to reduce information bias (adjusting variability for day of the week, sex, age, mother's education, BMI, and per capita income) and to estimate individual's usual food intake, it was used the method developed by the Iowa State University . Moreover, all nutrients were adjusted for total energy .…”

Consumer preferences for burgers and milk desserts: Evaluating the importance of health claim attributes

“…Indeed, studies show that Brazilian women consume more dairy than men do (DSM, 2015; ReportLinker, 2016). In addition, the yogurt intake in recent years increased more among the youngest people (Possa, De Castro, Sichieri, Fisberg, & Fisberg, 2017).…”

Elaboração De Iogurtes Saborizados Com Frutas E Cereais Típicos Da Região Nordeste Do Brasil / Elaboration of Yogurtes Tasted With Fruit and Cereals From the Northeast Region of Brazil

“…As variadas texturas dos iogurtes visam agradar diferentes tipos de públicos, por isso a produção procura inovar nos sabores e tipos que são apresentados ao mercado. Segundo Possa et al (2017), o consumo de leite e derivados (coalhada, queijo e iogurte natural) no Brasil é baixo, logo é extremamente importante destacar os benefícios dos alimentos lácteos para a saúde. Inovar nos sabores seria uma estratégia importante para estimular o consumo de iogurtes e torná-los cada vez mais presentes na alimentação dos brasileiros.…”
