“…In our study, age, maternal educational level and the fact of working out of home were not related to the habit of skipping breakfast. These findings contrast with the fact that maternal age over 40 years, low education level, working hours and child routines can interfere with the omission of meals and family meals [9,40,41]. Possibly this contrast is due to different sociodemographic characteristics between the sample of the studies.…”

et al. 2021

Objective To investigate factors associated with skipping breakfast in preschoolers and test a dose-dependent relationship between the frequency of breakfast consumption and the prevalence of overweight/obesity. Methods This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 463 children (24 to 59 months of age) who live in the urban location of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. Sociodemographic data, maternal and child nutritional status, lifestyle, and dietary practices were collected using a standardized questionnaire and Habitual Food Recall during a home-based interview. Skipping breakfast was defined as a frequency of consumption “less than seven days a week”. Based on body mass index by age, children were classified as overweight/obese if Z-score ≥2. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association between the variables surveyed and skipping breakfast. The dose-dependent relationship between breakfast frequency and overweight/obesity was determined by the trend test. Results The prevalence of skipping breakfast was 8.42% (95%IC: 6.1-11.3). There was an association between the habit of substituting dinner for a sandwich/snack (adjusted OR: 2.61, 95%IC: 1.25-5.46; p=0.010) and the mother’s overweight (adjusted OR: 2.63; 95%CI: 1.29-5.37; p=0.008) with the habit of skipping breakfast. The trend test shows that the prevalence of overweight/obesity decreases as the frequency of breakfast consumption increases (p=0.035). Additionally, when assessing the quality of breakfast, frequent consumption of foods considered unhealthy was observed. Conclusion There is a dose-response association between overweight/obesity and skipping breakfast. Children who substitute traditional dinner for a sandwich/snack and whose mothers are overweight are more likely to skip breakfast.

“…Studies conducted in Brazil, Slovenia and Norway with adults identified a certain group that preferred simple, traditional and home-cooked foods and rejected fast foods and convenience foods (34) . In a survey with 439 Brazilian mothers, Sato et al (35) verified that 39•9, 25•3 and 37•1 % never or seldom bought ready-to-eat meals, used practical foods (such as noodles, ready tomato sauce, packaged soup and boxed cake mix) and liked to eat at fast-food restaurants, respectively. Future studies could focus on investigating the characteristics and drivers of individuals who do not like to eat ultra-processed foods, using more robust theoretical frameworks such the concepts of habitus as proposed by Bourdieu (36) and the food choice trajectory as proposed by Sobal et al (32) .…”

Participants perceived their neighbourhoods as favourable to the consumption of ultra-processed foods and reported more facilitators than barriers to their consumption. Reported barriers point to the need to include measures promoting a healthy food system and traditional eating practices. The facilitators reinforce the idea that these foods are habit-forming and that regulatory measures to offset the exposure to ultra-processed foods are necessary.

“…Quanto ao tipo de refeição, o jantar foi mais compartilhado por essas mães com suas famílias, o que deve coincidir com a volta para casa após jornada de trabalho no período da manhã e tarde. Por outro lado, o café da manhã foi a refeição com menor compartilhamento entre os familiares, podendo estar relacionado a saída de casa muito cedo para ir trabalhar (Sato et al, 2016).…”

“…Apesar dos obstáculos, a realização e o compartilhamento de refeições em família, ainda era presente nas famílias cujas mães eram responsáveis em produzir a alimentação e, entre as mães que consumiam quantidade menor de alimentos, em relação aos outros familiares (Sato et al, 2016). Isso pode sinalizar a importância da mulher, que embora tenha ingressado no mercado de trabalho, ainda cabe a mesma a responsabilidade pela produção e pelo compartilhamento das refeições na família (Brasil, 2008).…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as modificações do comportamento alimentar influenciadas pela vida moderna. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados Publisher Medline (PubMed), Science Direct e Web of Science com descritores pré-selecionados. Os resultados apontaram que a alimentação, comensalidade e cultura alimentar sofrem interferência diante da vida moderna e da globalização. Observou-se mudanças drásticas nos hábitos e práticas alimentares, que podem contribuir para a redução da qualidade da alimentação, diminuição da socialização e compartilhamento de refeições entre familiares, difusão e fragmentação de culturas alimentares. O ato de comer com prazer pode ser comprometido, pela pressa da rotina diária, distância de casa, ausência de interação social ou por falta de opções de alimentos no mercado com os quais os indivíduos se identifiquem próprios da sua cultura. Ademais, existe uma inclinação à supervalorização da cultura alimentar de origem e a tentativa de sua reprodução, principalmente quando se convive com culturas diferentes, dentro das quais a culinária pode ser um agente de exclusão social, sendo o resgate da cultura de origem uma maneira de se reafirmar como indivíduo. Nesse contexto, as perspectivas são preocupantes, pois se espera uma diminuição ainda maior na interação social durante as refeições.
