To describe the prevalence of food poverty according to dimensions of socio-economic inequality and the food groups consumed by Brazilian children.
Dietary data from a structured qualitative questionnaire collected by the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI-2019) were used. The new UNICEF indicator classified children who consumed 3-4 and <3 out of the eight food groups as living in moderate and severe food poverty, respectively. The prevalence of consumption of each food group and ultra-processed foods (UPF) was estimated by level of food poverty according to age categories (6-23; 24-59 months). The most frequent combinations of food groups consumed by children living in severe food poverty were calculated. Prevalence of levels of food poverty were explored according to socio-economic variables.
123 municipalities of the five Brazilian macro-regions.
12 582 children aged 6-59 months.
The prevalence of moderate and severe food poverty was 32·5 % (95 % CI 30·1, 34·9) and 6·0 % (95 % CI 5·0, 6·9), respectively. Children whose mother/caregiver had lower education (<8 years) and income levels (per capita minimum wage <¼) had the highest severe food poverty prevalence of 8·3 % (95 % CI 6·2, 10·4) and 7·5 % (95 % CI 5·6, 9·4), respectively. The most consumed food groups among children living in food poverty in all age categories were 'dairy products', 'grains, roots, tubers, and plantains' and 'ultra-processed foods'.
Food poverty prevalence was high among Brazilian children. A significant occurrence of milk consumption associated with grains and a considerable prevalence of UPF consumption were found among those living in severe food poverty.
根据社会经济不平等的维度和巴西儿童所消费的食物群组来描述食物贫困的流行情况。
使用了巴西国家儿童营养调查（ENANI-2019）中结构化定性问卷收集的饮食数据。联合国儿童基金会的新指标将摄入 3-4 种和<3 种 8 种食物群组的儿童分别归类为中度和重度食物贫困。根据年龄类别（6-23 岁；24-59 个月），按食物贫困程度估计每种食物群组和超加工食品（UPF）的消费流行率。计算了处于重度食物贫困的儿童最常消费的食物群组组合。根据社会经济变量探讨了食物贫困程度的流行情况。
巴西五个宏观区域的 123 个城市。
12352 名 6-59 个月龄的儿童。
中度和重度食物贫困的流行率分别为 32.5%（95%CI30.1,34.9）和 6.0%（95%CI5.0,6.9）。母亲/照顾者教育程度较低（<8 年）和收入水平较低（人均最低工资<¼）的儿童，重度食物贫困的流行率最高，分别为 8.3%（95%CI6.2,10.4）和 7.5%（95%CI5.6,9.4）。所有年龄段处于食物贫困的儿童中消费最多的食物群组是“乳制品”、“谷物、根茎、块茎和大蕉”和“超加工食品”。
巴西儿童的食物贫困流行率较高。在重度食物贫困的儿童中，与谷物相关的牛奶消费显著，超加工食品的消费也相当普遍。
