From Introduction: South Africa has experienced an almost revolutionary change in her food position in the last 10 years, what was previously a "farm problem" of assisting the primary producer has now become a "food problem" and this is a study of the development of those factors leading up to such a change. It is an empirical study attempting to measure the production and consumption of certain selected foodstuffs and to compare them with changes observed in the population and the National Income.

Porém, considerando-se que a análise isolada do consumo de cada nutriente não é capaz de aferir todo o papel da dieta humana sobre a saúde, indica-se a avaliação global da dieta. Índices que procuram sintetizar a avaliação de padrões alimentares foram propostos e são empregados como medida-resumo da qualidade da dieta, mas a utilização destes índices em estudos com gestantes ainda é insipiente em termos mundiais e inexistente no Brasil. Adaptar o Índice de Qualidade da Dieta (IQD) para gestantes e utilizá-lo para avaliar a alimentação de gestantes atendidas em programas de atenção ao pré-natal de baixo risco no sistema público de saúde do município de Botucatu - SP. Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico, transversal e analítico. Inicialmente, foi realizada adaptação do IQD proposto em 2004 por Fisberg et al. para utilização na população gestante (IQD-G). Os procedimentos adotados para tornar o IQD aplicável à avaliação da dieta de gestantes foram: adaptação do número recomendado de porções dos grupos alimentares, exclusão do componente sódio e inclusão do componente grupo das leguminosas e alteração na forma de análise da variedade da dieta. O IQD-G foi, então, aplicado para avaliar a dieta de 107 gestantes atendidas nas unidades básicas de saúde de Botucatu, a partir de dois recordatórios de 24h, sendo um deles referente ao fim de semana. Para caracterização da amostra estudada foram investigados aspectos demográficos, obstétricos, socioeconômicos e de estilo de vida. Foram calculados os coeficientes de correlação de Pearson entre o IQD-G e a estimativa de energia, carboidrato, proteína, fibra, cálcio, ferro, folato, zinco e vitaminas A, C e E (variáveis brutas, ajustadas pela variabilidade intrapessoal e energia)... / Evaluating pregnant women’s dietary intake is important for defining health care policies and programs. However, considering the isolated analysis of each nutrient intake does not make it possible to thoroughly assess the role played by human diet in health; therefore, global diet assessment is recommended. Indexes aiming at synthesizing the evaluation of dietary patterns have been proposed, and they are used as a summary-measure of diet quality; however, the use of such indexes in studies on pregnant women is still incipient throughout the world and non-existent in Brazil. To adapt the Diet Quality Index (DQI) to pregnant women and use it to evaluate the diet of pregnant women assisted by low-risk prenatal care programs in the public health system in the city of Botucatu - SP. This is an epidemiological, cross-sectional and analytical study. Initially, the DQI adaptation proposed by Fisberg et al. In 2004 was performed for use with the population of pregnant women (DQI-PW). The procedures adopted to make DQI applicable to the evaluation of pregnant women’s diet were: adaptation of the recommended number of food group servings, exclusion of the sodium component and inclusion of the legume-group component and alteration in the form of diet variety analysis. DQI-PW was then applied to evaluate the diet of 107 pregnant women assisted at the primary health care units of Botucatu based on two 24-hour recalls, one of which referred to a weekend. In order to characterize the sample studied, demographic, obstetric, socioeconomic and lifestyle aspects were investigated. Pearson’s correlation coefficients between DQI-PW and the estimation of energy, carbohydrates, protein, fibers, calcium, iron, folate, zinc and vitamins A, C and E (raw variables adjusted by within-person variety and by within-person variety and energy) were calculated. The analyses were performed by statistical package ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
