          Abstract

          Objective : To evaluate sociodemographic inequalities in the diet quality of the urban population of the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: A population-based, cross-sectional study was performed using data from a health survey conducted in the city of Campinas in 2008-2009. Diet quality was evaluated using the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised. A total of 3,382 individuals aged 10 years old and older were analyzed. Results : Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised scores increased with age and education level. Women consumed more vegetables, fruits, and milk, and less sodium, meat and eggs, oils, saturated and solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars than men. Scores for whole grains, vegetables, and fruits also increased with age and education level. Conclusion: These findings point to sociodemographic segments that are more vulnerable to an inappropriate diet and identify the need of strategies to increase the consumption of whole grains, dark green vegetables, fruits, and milk, and decrease the consumption of sodium, solid fats, alcohol, and added sugar.

          Objetivo: Avaliar as desigualdades sociodemográficas na qualidade da alimentação da população urbana do município de Campinas, São Paulo. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal de base populacional que utilizou dados de inquérito de saúde realizado em Campinas entre os anos de 2008 e 2009. A qualidade da alimentação de 3.382 indivíduos com 10 anos de idade ou mais foi avaliada pelo Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado. Foram estimadas as médias do Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado global e de cada componente segundo as variáveis independentes. Resultados: O escore total do Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado aumentou com o crescimento da idade e do nível de escolaridade. As mulheres consumiram mais vegetais, frutas e leite, e ingeriram menos sódio, carnes e ovos, óleos, gorduras saturada e sólida, álcool e açúcar de adição, quando comparadas aos homens. Com o avanço da idade e da escolaridade observou-se pontuações mais elevadas de cereais integrais, vegetais e frutas. Conclusão: Os achados apontam os segmentos sociodemográficos mais vulneráveis à alimentação inadequada e identificam a necessidade de estratégias para aumentar o consumo de cereais integrais, vegetais verdes escuros e alaranjados, frutas e leite, e diminuir o consumo de sódio e de gorduras sólidas, álcool e açúcar de adição.

            The effects of gender and age on health related behaviors

            Background Lifestyle-related diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers represent the greatest global health threat. Greater insight into health needs and beliefs, using broad community samples, is vital to reduce the burden of chronic disease. This study aimed to investigate gender, age, screening practices, health beliefs, and perceived future health needs for healthy ageing. Methods Random probability sampling using self-completion surveys in 1456 adults residing in Australia. Results Screening behaviors were associated with gender and age. Men and women >51 years were more likely (27%) to have screening health checks than those 51 years wanted information regarding illness prevention than men or those aged <30 years. Conclusion Age and gender are associated with health related behaviors. Optimal health is perceived as a priority, yet often this perception is not translated into preventative action. These findings will inform future research and policy makers as we strive towards a healthier ageing society and the prevention of chronic disease.
