SUMMARY:
The Food Guide for the Brazilian Population (FGBP) brings an expanded paradigm of healthy eating to guide healthy eating practices, respecting the diversity of Brazilian food culture. Adherence to the FGBP scale analyzes adherence to the guide's recommendations, including markers related to the type of food processing (NOVA Classification) and dietary practices divided into four dimensions: choice of foods, ways of eating, planning and family organization. Considering the worsening of social inequality indicators in recent years in Brazil, understanding which sociodemographic aspects are associated with the adherence of adults and the older adults to FGBP recommendations is a challenge. The aim was to analyze adherence to the FGBP recommendations by the participants of the BRAZUCA (Brazilian Usual Consumption Assessment) Natal Study, considering sociodemographic aspects. It is a cross-sectional survey, with 411 adults and older adults in the city of Natal Brazil, selected from a probabilistic cluster sample, in two stages (census tracts and households). An electronic questionnaire on the Epicollect 5 digital platform was applied to data collection. It was containing sociodemographic data and a multidimensional scale to measure adherence to dietary practices recommended by the FGBP. The scale consists of 24 questions, following a Likert scale (I totally disagree; I disagree; I agree; I totally agree). The final score can range from 0 to 72. It classified as low and medium adherence (<41 points) or high adherence to the FGBP (>=41 points). The prevalence ratio (PR) and respective 95% confidence interval used to verify the association, and the analysis was adjusted using Poisson Regression with a robust estimator. We observed high adherence to the FGBP in 46.7% (42.1%-51.3%) of the population, with a mean score of 40.5 (SD 7.9). We verify a significant association for females (PR= 1 .27; 95% CI 1.03-1.55) and the older adults (PR=1.46; 95% CI 1.19-1.79). The individuals who declared a monthly per capita income of less than one minimum wage were less likely to of high adherence to FGBP recommendations and being worse for those with income ≤1/4 minimum wage (PR=0.47; 95%CI 0.32-0.68). We conclude that being female and being older adult are conditions that predict greater adherence to FGBP. People who having low per capita income have lower adherence to the FGBP. It is necessary to establish policies that reduce social inequalities. In addition, it is essential to high access to food practices aligned with FGBP among adults and the older adults in Natal, Brazil.
