Abstract

Healthy eating habits are related to a lower prevalence of chronic diseases. Objective: Verify the relationship between eating behaviors and self-perceived health (SPH) in young, middle-aged, and older adults. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 52166 Brazilian adults aged 18 years and over. The dependent variable was positive SPH, whereas the independent variable was the eating behavior (exchanging lunch for snacks; exchanging dinner for snacks; intake of beans, ultra-processed food the previous day, fruits, vegetables, and processed juices/soft drinks). Poisson regression with robust adjustment for variance was used in the data analysis. Results: The relationship between eating behaviors and SPH was similar between genders. However, a more evident relationship was observed among young adults, regarding the age group. The consumption of fruits and vegetables was most clearly associated with SPH among the investigated behaviors. Furthermore, the higher the number of positive eating behaviors, the higher the prevalence of positive SPH in both genders and all age groups. Conclusion: The findings of this study reinforce the importance of healthy eating behaviors for health and indicate a more direct relationship between these and positive SPH in young adults and as a habit of regularly consuming fruits and vegetables.

巴西成年人饮食行为与健康积极自我感知的关系

健康的饮食习惯与较低的慢性病患病率有关。目的：验证年轻人、中年人和老年人的饮食行为与自我感知健康（SPH）之间的关系。材料和方法：这是一项针对52166名18岁及以上巴西成年人的横断面研究。因变量为正SPH，而自变量为饮食行为（用午餐换零食；用晚餐换零食；摄入豆类、前一天的超加工食品、水果、蔬菜和加工果汁/软饮料）。数据分析中使用了对方差进行稳健调整的泊松回归。结果：不同性别的进食行为与SPH的关系相似。然而，就年龄组而言，在年轻人中观察到了更明显的关系。在所调查的行为中，水果和蔬菜的消费与SPH的关系最为明显。此外，积极饮食行为的数量越高，在所有性别和年龄组中，积极SPH的患病率就越高。结论：这项研究的结果强化了健康饮食行为对健康的重要性，并表明这些行为与年轻人的积极SPH以及经常食用水果和蔬菜的习惯之间存在更直接的关系。
