“…Sin embargo, además de no ofertarse en la frecuencia recomendada, la fruta se suele servir en forma de compota (es más aceptada por el niño), cuyo contenido en azúcares simples, como la sacarosa, es mayor. Este aporte deficitario de vegetales y frutas se ha detectado igualmente en numerosos comedores escolares del mundo, tanto de centros infantiles (17) como de primaria y secundaria (14,(22)(23)(24)(25), y es por ello por lo que se están desarrollando programas y campañas para fomentar el consumo de frutas y verduras (26,27). Pese a este esfuerzo, aún no se incluye la cantidad suficiente de estos alimentos en el menú escolar.…”

Introducción: en la actualidad existe un défi cit en la evaluación de comedores dirigidos a niños menores de 3 años, a pesar de que se hanrealizado numerosas intervenciones en los comedores escolares con el fi n de conseguir una alimentación segura y adecuada.Objetivo: realizar una evaluación nutricional de los menús ofertados en los centros de educación infantil de Sevilla.Material and methods: se evaluó la frecuencia, variedad, rotación de alimentos, métodos culinarios e información de los menús de seis centrosinfantiles de Sevilla. Se valoró el aporte energético y nutricional mediante el programa Dietowin® y el método de pesada.Resultados: las frutas y verduras fueron defi citarias en la mayoría de los menús, y excesivas la carne, patatas, pasta y arroz. Se observó unaescasa variedad de recetas por grupo de alimentos y no se daba una información completa del menú. Sin embargo, la variedad de procesosculinarios y la rotación de alimentos fueron adecuadas. Aunque la energía y el aporte de carbohidratos (~55%) se ajustaban a las necesidades,se observó un aporte excesivo de proteínas (~19%) y defi ciente de lípidos (< 30%), sobre todo de grasas insaturadas. Respecto a los micronutrientes,solo vitamina C, E y calcio estaban por debajo de lo recomendado.Conclusiones: los centros de educación infantil están haciendo un gran esfuerzo por cumplir las recomendaciones nutricionales, pero todavíadeben disminuir el aporte proteico y aumentar las grasas insaturadas de la dieta. Además, deben fomentar la oferta de frutas y verduras, ampliarla variedad de recetas, dar mayor información y disminuir el aporte de alimentos cárnicos.

“…When ultra-processed products are followed by insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, they contribute to diet/energy imbalance 34 . In Florianópolis (SC) less than 5% of the children aged 7 to 14 years eat at least two fruits and three vegetables per day 35 . During childhood, household consumption of ultraprocessed products contributes to the formation of unhealthy eating habits, since the experiences and exposures that occur during this life period have long-term repercussions on health and behaviors.…”

Objective To assess overweight/obesity of elementary schoolchildren in Campinas , São Paulo , Brazil, and its association with parental nutritional status, children's food consumption, food preferences, and level of physical activity, and familial socioeconomic status. Methods This case-control study included 509 schoolchildren aged 7 to 10 years. Body mass index Z-score was used to determine nutritional status, defining cases (>+1 Z-score) and controls (³-2 ?+1 Z-score). To address association with overweight/obesity, a conceptual model was established and used for multiple analysis, performed by logistic regression. Results The children had an overweight/obesity frequency of 39.5%. Multiple analysis adjusted for socioeconomic level showed that overweight/obese children were more likely to eat at the mall (1.55; 95%CI=1.00-2.40), have overweight and obese parents (OR=1.71; 95%CI=1.08-2.71 and OR=3.55; 95%CI=2.18-5.80 respectively), report use of passive school transport (OR=1.57; 95%CI=1.04-2.36), and consume chicken nuggets on 3 or more days per week (OR=3.03; 95%CI=1.32-6.95). Conclusion These results support the urgent need of strategies to reduce overweight/obesity and promote its prevention in schoolchildren. Moreover, intervention studies involving parents and addressing environmental factors are important for the development of effective programs.

“…However, drastic changes in the population morbidity and mortality profile and behavior of Brazilian youth have not occurred since CVD are still the leading cause of death in Brazil 2 and recent studies continue to report the low quality diet of children and adolescents 27,28 , thus ensuring the quality of the conclusions of this research.…”

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between food habits and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in schoolchildren of the city Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a population-based sample of 738 schoolchildren aged 6-14 years. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for collecting demographic, socioeconomic, biochemical, clinical, and anthropometric data. Food intake was determined by a food-frequency questionnaire. Food habits were evaluated according to the adapted Recommended Food Score. Multiple linear regression models were constructed to assess how food consumption was associated with cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS: The schoolchildren presented a dietary pattern characterized by low consumption of healthy foods. Association of cardiovascular risk factors showed that the consumption of foods according to the adapted Recommended Food Score was negatively and significantly associated with tetrapolar percentage of body fat (p=0.030) and systolic blood pressure (p=0.049) in children aged 6-9 years. CONCLUSION: Children's dietary patterns proved to be an important determinant of some of the cardiovascular risk factors studied. Thus, food intake assessment is a primary tool for the prevention and early intervention on cardiovascular risk factors during childhood.
