“…The study methods for the primary data acquisition of this cross-sectional study have been described elsewhere in great detail [ 27 ]. In brief, we recruited n = 224 individuals that reported the consumption of a PBD between July 2018 and February 2020 in the metropolitan area of Puerto La Cruz in Venezuela, South America.…”

“…Addressing this gap in the literature, we performed a post hoc analysis of a Venezuelan cross-sectional study and investigated DAL scores in a well-characterized sample of n = 224 individuals reporting adherence to a PBD [ 27 ]. Venezuela is a particularly salient case, because the country is currently experiencing a socioeconomic crisis with potential implications for food security and food shortages [ 28 ].…”

Dietary acid load (DAL) is an important determinant of the acid–base balance in humans and has been associated with several chronic non-communicable diseases. Plant-based diets, including vegetarian and vegan diets, decrease DAL—although their alkalizing potential varies substantially. Their net effect on common DAL scores, including potential renal acid load and net endogenous acid production, has been insufficiently quantified and is poorly understood—particularly in populations outside of Europe and North America. We assessed the associations between three plant-based dietary patterns (flexitarian vs. lacto-ovo-vegetarian vs. vegan diet) and DAL scores in a healthy Venezuelan population in the metropolitan area of Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. Substantial differences in DAL scores were observed, whereby the vegan diet yielded the highest alkalizing potential, followed by the lacto-ovo-vegetarian and the flexitarian diet. DAL scores were substantially lower in comparison to European and North American plant-based populations, probably due to the higher potassium intake (exceeding 4000 mg/d in vegans), the higher magnesium intake (390.31 ± 1.79 mg/d in vegans) and the lower intake of protein in vegans and lacto-ovo-vegetarians. Additional studies in other non-industrialized populations are warranted to allow for a better understanding of the (numeric) impact of plant-based dietary patterns on DAL scores, potentially allowing for an establishment of reference ranges in the near future.

Introduction: vegetarian diets are diets that avoid animal meat, it includes ovolactovegetarian and vegan diets, among other plant-based variants. Objective: to characterize food consumption, anthropometric nutritional assessment, physical activity level and motivations in a sample of vegetarian adults from the Capital District, Yaracuy and Carabobo states of Venezuela. Materials and methods: 51 adults were evaluated, 23.5% vegan and 76.5% ovo-lacto vegetarian, aged between 18 and 65 years. A 24-hour dietary recall was carried out, indicators of dimension (BMI and waist circumference) and body composition (muscle area and percentage of fat) were taken, the long IPAQ instrument of physical activity was applied and it was asked about the main motivation to follow these diets. Results: the diet was deficient in calories (60.8%), low in carbohydrates (72.5%) and fats (58.8%), and high in proteins (43.1%) and dietary fiber (70.6 %). The anthropometric nutritional assessment of the individuals resulted in an adequate weight (62.7%), average muscularity (51%) and fat (68.6%), and low risk according to waist circumference (86.3%). The level of physical activity that prevailed were the moderate and intense categories with 39.2% each. The majority decided to follow the vegetarian diet for health reasons 72.5%. Conclusions: the majority of the study group, despite having an unbalanced diet (low in carbohydrates and fats, but high in proteins and fiber), presented an anthropometric nutritional status and levels of physical activity within acceptable ranges

Actualmente la cultura alimentaria registra un auge como tema de interés académico, ya que las prácticas alimentarias han resultado un elemento común en el estudio y análisis de diferentes sistemas socioculturales. Por ello este artículo se propone como objetivo hacer una revisión multidisciplinaria del concepto, examinando planteamientos de autores relevantes que han abordado el paradigma alimentario en diferentes períodos históricos. Basado en la revisión documental se concluye que aunque constituye un amplio sistema material de prácticas agrícolas y culinarias, la cultura alimentaria es redefinida a lo largo del tiempo principalmente por sus aspectos subjetivos como las ideas, valores y significados construidos socialmente al respecto de lo que se considera comida.
