The scope of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors with the introduction of ultra-processed food (UPF) among children under six months of age living in the southwest of Bahia state. This is an excerpt from a prospective cohort study conducted with pairs of mothers/babies. The introduction of UPF was defined by the intake of at least one UPF before the age of six months. Socioeconomic, maternal, paternal, gestational, and child-related information was gathered by the application of questionnaires. To analyze the factors associated with the outcome, Poisson regression was performed according to a hierarchical model. P-value<0.05 and 95% confidence interval are considered. A total of 300 mother/baby pairs were evaluated. Before 6 months, 31.3% of children have already received UPF. With greater introduction of cookies/biscuits (23.3%) and yogurt (14.3%). The introduction of UPF before six months of age was higher among families with lower income (p=0.038), lower maternal education (p=0.031), lower maternal (p=0.017) and paternal (p=0.013) age, among children who had cow's milk <6 months (p<0.001) and tea <30 days (p=0.005). The results demonstrate the need for interventions aimed at reducing the introduction of UPF, especially for low-income families, with less education and among younger parents.
本研究的范围是评估巴伊亚州西南部六个月以下儿童中引入超加工食品（UPF）的患病率及相关因素。这是一项对母婴对进行的前瞻性队列研究的节选。UPF的引入定义为在六个月龄之前摄入至少一种UPF。通过问卷调查收集社会经济、母亲、父亲、孕期和儿童相关信息。为了分析与结果相关的因素，根据分层模型进行泊松回归分析。考虑p值<0.05和95%置信区间。总共评估了300对母婴对。在6个月之前，31.3%的儿童已经摄入了UPF。其中饼干/曲奇（23.3%）和酸奶（14.3%）的引入率更高。在低收入家庭（p=0.038）、母亲教育程度较低（p=0.031）、母亲（p=0.017）和父亲（p=0.013）年龄较小的家庭中，以及在6个月前喝过牛奶的儿童（p<0.001）和30天内喝过茶的儿童（p=0.005）中，六个月龄前UPF的引入率更高。结果表明需要采取干预措施来减少UPF的引入，特别是针对低收入家庭、受教育程度较低的家庭以及较年轻的父母。
