Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics and factors associated with the intake of ultra-processed cariogenic foods (UFC) by preschoolers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving parents of 672 children from two to five years old enrolled at public schools in Curitiba, Brazil. Parents answered a questionnaire about socioeconomic and demographic data, their behavior regarding the dietary education of their children (Parent Mealtime Action Scale-translated and validated for use in Brazil), and children's food intake (qualitative food frequency questionnaire-list of foods based on a report from the Pan American Health Organization). The data were analyzed using Poisson regression analysis (α=0.05). Results: About 43% of parents/guardians reported changes in their children's diet during the pandemic, being that diet got worse and better in 19% and 24% of the cases, respectively. The ultra-processed cariogenic foods with the highest daily intake frequencies were sweetened juices/sweetened drinks (0.52), followed by cookies (0.37), and candies (0.35). Parents with a lower level of education reported a daily frequency of UCF intake 1.36 times higher (PR=1.359;CI 95%: 1.106-1.669) in their children compared to those with a higher level of education. On the other hand, parents'/guardians' report of higher intake and greater offer of fruits and vegetables to children was associated with low UCF intake (PR=0.716;CI 95%: 0.592-0.866). Conclusion: The lower level of formal education of parents/guardians and lower availability of fruits and vegetables were related to higher consumption of ultra-processed cariogenic foods by children. © 2023, Association of Support to Oral Health Research (APESB).

COVID-19大流行期间学龄前儿童摄入超加工致龋食品的相关因素

目的:了解新冠肺炎大流行期间学龄前儿童超加工致龋食品(UFC)摄入特点及相关因素。材料和方法:这是一项横断面研究，涉及672名在巴西库里提巴公立学校就读的2至5岁儿童的父母。父母回答了一份关于社会经济和人口统计数据的问卷，他们对孩子的饮食教育的行为(父母用餐时间行动量表-在巴西翻译和验证使用)，以及孩子的食物摄入量(定性食物频率问卷-基于泛美卫生组织的一份报告的食物清单)。数据采用泊松回归分析(α=0.05)。结果:约43%的家长/监护人报告说，在大流行期间，他们的孩子的饮食发生了变化，分别有19%和24%的病例的饮食变差和变好。每日摄入频率最高的超加工致龋食品是加糖果汁/加糖饮料(0.52)，其次是饼干(0.37)和糖果(0.35)。与受教育程度较高的父母相比，受教育程度较低的父母报告他们的孩子每天摄入UCF的频率高1.36倍(PR=1.359;CI 95%: 1.106-1.669)。另一方面，父母/监护人报告的高摄入量和为儿童提供更多的水果和蔬菜与低UCF摄入量相关(PR=0.716;CI 95%: 0.592-0.866)。结论:父母/监护人的正规教育水平较低，水果和蔬菜的可得性较低，与儿童食用超加工致龋食品的比例较高有关。©2023，口腔健康研究支持协会(APESB)。版权所有。
