Resumo
Intense changes in lifestyle of the populations have been occuring, particularly in relation to dietary patterns, with increased consumption of energy-dense foods, and reduced consumption of healthy foods, which culminates in the increase of health problems prevalence, including the pediatric population from two to five years. The aims of the present study were to identify the dietary patterns of preschoolers in Goiania and determine its associated factors. It is a cross-sectional study of population and household base with 412 children between 24 and 59 months, living in the urban area of Goiânia, Goias. It was used cluster sampling in multiple stages and standardized questionnaire with socioeconomic and demographic issues, food consumption, lifestyle and anthropometry. Dietary intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire, from which were applied the factor analysis of main components with Varimax orthogonal rotation for deriving, a posteriori, of dietary patterns. The patterns found were denominated in processed/ultra-processed, traditional and mixed. Multiple linear regression models were applied to evaluate the factors associated with the identified patterns. The processed/ultra-processed pattern had greater adherence by children who had the habit of eating in front of the television and change the dinner for snacks and lower adherence among children with older mothers. The traditional pattern, however, was more present among children of younger mothers and higher body mass index values and less present among children who made the exchange of dinner for snacks. The mixed pattern of consumption was less frequent among children who swapped dinner for snacks. Therefore, consumption of snacks instead of conventional dining implies less healthy food choices. The patterns were associated with sociodemographic, anthropometric and lifestyle variables,thus, older mothers seem to do more appropriate food choices for their children.
