To assess the feeding profile of Brazilian infants and preschool children aged 6 months to 6 years, based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of food and nutrient intake.
This review analyzed studies carried out in Brazil that had food survey data on infants and preschool children. The search was limited to publications from the last 10 years included in the LILACS and MEDLINE electronic databases.
The initial search identified 1480 articles, of which 1411 were excluded after the analysis of abstracts, as they were repeated or did not meet the inclusion criteria. Of the 69 articles assessed in full, 31 articles contained data on food survey and were selected. Only three studies concurrently assessed children from different Brazilian geographical regions. Of the assessed articles, eight had qualitative data, with descriptive analysis of food consumption frequency, and 23 had predominantly quantitative data, with information on energy and nutrient consumption.
The articles assessed in this review showed very heterogeneous results, making it difficult to compare findings. Overall, the feeding of infants and preschool children is characterized by low consumption of meat, fruits, and vegetables; high consumption of cow's milk and inadequate preparation of bottles; as well as early and high intake of fried foods, candies/sweets, soft drinks, and salt. These results provide aid for the development of strategies that aim to achieve better quality feeding of Brazilian infants and preschoolers.
基于对食物和营养摄入的定性与定量分析，评估巴西6个月至6岁婴幼儿及学龄前儿童的喂养情况。
本综述分析了巴西开展的有关婴幼儿及学龄前儿童食物调查数据的研究。检索限于LILACS和MEDLINE电子数据库中过去10年的出版物。
初步检索识别出1480篇文章，经摘要分析后排除1411篇，因为它们重复或不符合纳入标准。在全面评估的69篇文章中，31篇包含食物调查数据并被选中。只有三项研究同时评估了巴西不同地理区域的儿童。在评估的文章中，八篇有定性数据，对食物消费频率进行了描述性分析，23篇主要是定量数据，包含能量和营养消费信息。
本综述评估的文章结果差异很大，难以比较研究结果。总体而言，婴幼儿及学龄前儿童的喂养特点是肉类、水果和蔬菜摄入量低；牛奶摄入量高且奶瓶制备不当；以及油炸食品、糖果/甜食、软饮料和盐的摄入过早且量多。这些结果为制定旨在改善巴西婴幼儿及学龄前儿童喂养质量的策略提供了帮助。
