Abstract

OBJETIVE: To determine the association between the frequency of warning labels reading (WLR) in foods, with dietary patterns and Body Mass Index in older adults (OA). METHODOS: Secondary analysis study, carried out using the National Health Survey 2016–2017 database. Information about older adults’ dietary patterns, front-of-package food labeling, anthropometric and demographic data were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for the statistical analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS: The number of participants was 1,510 (≥60 years old). It was noted that WLR in OA is associated with greater compliance with dietary guidelines with respect to fish consumption (p < 0.01), dairy products (p < 0.001), type of dairy (p < 0.001), whole grain cereals (p < 0.001), pulses (p < 0.05), fruits (p < 0.01), sugary drinks (p < 0.001) and water (p < 0.001), without significant differences in the consumption of vegetables (p = 0.167) and sugar-sweetened juices (p = 0.382), also without differences between WLR and Body Mass Index (p = 0.678). CONCLUSIONS: This study presents innovative data on older adults since it evaluates the behavior, the frequency of reading warning labels (WLR) in foods with dietary patterns, Chile, which is the first country in the world to have a warning labels mandatory.

智利老年人的正面标签、饮食模式和体重指数

目的：确定食品中警告标签的阅读频率（WLR）与老年人（OA）的膳食模式和体重指数之间的关联。方法：利用 2016-2017 年全国健康调查数据库进行二次分析研究。对老年人的膳食模式、包装前食品标签、人体测量和人口统计学数据等信息进行了分析。统计分析采用卡方检验，并进行逻辑回归。结果：参与人数为 1 510 人（≥60 岁）。结果表明，OA 中的 WLR 与以下方面更符合膳食指南有关：鱼类消费（p < 0.01）、乳制品（p < 0.001）、乳制品类型（p < 0.001）、全谷物谷类（p < 0.001）、豆类（p < 0.05）、水果（p < 0.01）、含糖饮料（p < 0.001）和水（p < 0.001），蔬菜（p = 0.167）和含糖果汁（p = 0.382）的消费量没有显著差异，WLR 和体重指数（p = 0.678）之间也没有差异。结论：这项研究提供了关于老年人的创新数据，因为它评估了智利老年人的行为、阅读膳食模式食品中警示标签（WLR）的频率，智利是世界上第一个强制规定必须有警示标签的国家。

期刊介绍： The Mediterranean Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism publishes original scientific papers on metabolism, including diabesity and eating disorders; nutrition (epidemiological, basic, clinical and artificial); dietary and nutritional practices and management and their impact on health from prevention to treatment. The journal hosts the proceedings of relevant congresses and presents shorter notices focused on the original character of the Mediterranean nutritional civilisation. In addition, this journal is intended as a platform for scientific debate and knowledge-sharing among students and clinical practitioners, and between them and the broader scientific community, and finally as a tool for promoting and enhancing scientific cooperation.
