The scope of this study was to conduct a critical analysis of the application of the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index - Revised (BHEI-R), to explain the ease and difficulties in its calculation, to suggest adaptations and to compare its distribution. This was done in accordance with sociodemographic variables among the 15,105 public servants participating in the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health from 2008 to 2010. Food consumption was assessed based on a Food Frequency Questionnaire and BHEI-R was estimated in four ways: original; weighted for frequency of consumption of fruits and vegetables; modified considering legumes separated from other vegetables, and adapted covering the two previous changes. The results indicated that irrespective of the adaptation performed, women, individuals over 65 years of age and individuals with lower schooling had higher mean scores indicating a better quality diet. It is believed that the proposed adaptations may be useful for future studies that apply BHEI-R.
本研究的范围是对巴西修订版健康饮食指数（BHEI-R）的应用进行批判性分析，解释其计算的难易程度，提出调整建议并比较其分布情况。这是根据2008年至2010年参与成人健康纵向研究的15105名公务员的社会人口统计学变量进行的。食物消费基于食物频率问卷进行评估，BHEI-R通过四种方式进行估算：原始方式；根据水果和蔬菜的消费频率加权；考虑将豆类与其他蔬菜分开进行修改；以及综合前两种变化进行调整。结果表明，无论进行何种调整，女性、65岁以上的个体以及受教育程度较低的个体平均得分较高，表明饮食质量较好。据信，所提出的调整可能对未来应用BHEI-R的研究有用。
