Weight change and lifestyle modifications implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown are associated with the development of gastrointestinal symptoms.

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Pandemic lockdown measures are a cause of concern, regarding their negative impact on the mental health of individuals. The results of numerous studies have associated the appearance of gastrointestinal symptoms with different psychologic disorders, such as stress, depression, and anxiety, due to gut-brain axis interaction. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of, and factors associated with, gastrointestinal symptom onset related to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and various lifestyle modifications. METHODS: An analytic, observational, and cross-sectional study was conducted on an open population that agreed to participate within the time frame of January to May 2021. RESULTS: A total of 298 subjects, 165 of whom were women (55.4%), agreed to participate and the mean patient age was 36.1 ±â€¯12.6 years. There was a significant increase in the frequency of several gastrointestinal symptoms: epigastric burning, early satiety, heartburn, regurgitation, constipation, and diarrhea. Changes in weight and modifications in lifestyle were found to be associated variables. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed a significant increase in a wide variety of gastrointestinal symptoms related to lifestyle changes due to the pandemic lockdown. Weight change, supplement and multivitamin intake, and reduced physical activity were the main associated risk factors. Public healthcare systems should take a multidisciplinary approach into consideration for the care of affected individuals.

Explorando el estilo de vida en estudiantes de una Universidad Pública peruana / Exploring the lifestyle of students at a Peruvian public university / Explorando o estilo de vida dos estudantes de uma universidade pública peruana

Los estilos de vida son patrones de hábitos y comportamientos que repercuten en la salud y el bienestar de una persona. Objetivo: Determinar los hábitos de vida de los estudiantes universitarios peruanos y su influencia en su salud física, mental y bienestar emocional. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico en enero de 2020 en una universidad pública de Lima. Se administró un cuestionario de estilos de vida a 199 estudiantes de cinco carreras profesionales. La confiabilidad del cuestionario se estableció mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, el cual fue de 0,9, indicando una alta consistencia interna en cada una de las dimensiones evaluadas. Además, se garantizó el cumplimiento de estrictas normas éticas durante el estudio. Resultados: Del total de la población estudiantil, el 53,26% presentó un estilo de vida no saludable y el 46,73% un estilo de vida saludable, destacando en nutrición y relaciones interpersonales, no así en actividad física y cuidado de la salud. Los estudiantes de Tecnología Médica y Enfermería son más saludables que los de Medicina y Obstetricia. Conclusiones: La adopción de estilos de vida poco saludables puede comprometer seriamente la salud física, mental y social de los estudiantes. Los que muestran comportamientos poco saludables en ámbitos como la responsabilidad por la salud y la actividad física corren el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades no transmisibles. Por otro lado, las escuelas que se inclinan por prácticas saludables tienen el potencial de influir positivamente en la salud de sus alumnos, a diferencia de las que no fomentan estos hábitos

Lifestyles are patterns of habits and behaviors that impact a person's health and well-being. Objective: To determine the lifestyle habits of Peruvian university students and their influence on their physical, mental, and emotional health. Materials and Methods: An analytical crosssectional study was conducted in January 2020 at a public university in Lima. A lifestyle questionnaire was administered to 199 students from five professional programs. The reliability of the questionnaire was established using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which was 0.9, indicating high internal consistency across all evaluated dimensions. Additionally, strict ethical standards were adhered to during the study. Results: Of the total student population, 53.26% had an unhealthy lifestyle and 46.73% had a healthy lifestyle, excelling in nutrition and interpersonal relationships, but not in physical activity and health care. Medical Technology and Nursing students were healthier than those in Medicine and Obstetrics. Conclusions: The adoption of unhealthy lifestyles can seriously compromise students' physical, mental, and social health. Those who exhibit unhealthy behaviors in areas such as health responsibility and physical activity are at risk of developing non-communicable diseases. On the other hand, schools that promote healthy practices have the potential to positively influence their students' health, unlike those that do not encourage these habits

Associations of physical activity, sedentary time, and fitness with cardiovascular risk and atherosclerosis over 3 years in women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are among the main causes of death in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Physical activity (PA) and fitness are potential protective factors against the progression of CV risk factors and atherosclerosis. AIM: To analyze trends over time in PA, sedentary time (ST) and physical fitness and their associations of with traditional and novel markers of CV risk and subclinical atherosclerosis in women with SLE over a 3-year follow-up period. METHODS: In this exploratory study, 77 White Hispanic women with SLE (43.3±13.8 years) with mild disease activity were followed after 3 years (n=44). HDL and LDL cholesterol (blood samples), BMI and muscle mass (stadiometer and bioimpedance device), blood pressure (BP), pulse wave velocity (PWV, Mobil-O-Graph® monitor), carotid plaques and intima-media thickness (General Electric Medical Systems, LOGQ-6 model) were assessed. PA and ST were measured using triaxial accelerometers. Physical fitness was assessed with the back-scratch, handgrip strength, 30-s chair stand, and 6-min walk, tests. RESULTS: After 3 years, LDL-c (estimated mean change [est]=13.77mg/dL) and PWV (0.13m/s) increased while diastolic BP (-2.80mmHG) decreased (all, p<0.05). In mixed models, 6-min walk test was positively associated with HDL-c (est=0.07); back scratch (est=0.33) and chair-stand (est=1.19) tests were positively associated with systolic BP (all, p<0.05). No other trends or associations over time were identified (all, p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PA, ST, fitness, and most studied CV risk factors remained stable over time, with only marginal changes in LDL-c, PWV, and diastolic BP. Overall, PA and ST were not longitudinally associated with CV risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis and contradictory weak associations were found for physical fitness.

[Strategies for the prevention and non-pharmacological treatment of obesity. Models of care]. / Estrategias para la prevención y el tratamiento no farmacológico de la obesidad. Modelos de atención.

The prevalence of obesity has increased in recent years worldwide. In this context, strategies for management obesity in primary care are essential. The first step in the treatment of obesity are lifestyle intervention programs. The three pillars of these programs, ideally of high intensity (high frequency of visits), are dietary intervention, exercise and behavioral therapy. There is no universal model of care for patients with obesity, but it must take into account key aspects, such as facilitating the access and adherence of the patient and a multidisciplinary and coordinated care among professionals at different levels of healthcare. The components of the model of care and its format should be defined according to the resources available and the characteristics of the population to be treated.

Impact of a mobile application-based home care nursing program on patients' quality of life and family burden.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify the effectiveness of a mobile application-based home care nursing service in improving patient quality of life and healthy lifestyle and reducing the family burden. METHODS: This study was a clinical trial with a pre- and post-test control group design. The accessible population in this study was post-discharge patients from general hospitals in West Kalimantan and East Kalimantan, Indonesia, who required home care nursing. We allocated a selected sample of 40 people to the intervention group and 40 people to the control group using a randomized block design. We gave mobile application-based home care nursing to the intervention group and community health nursing care to the control group. This study was conducted in 10 months (January-October 2022). We measure the patient quality of life, healthy lifestyle, and family burden before and 3 months after the intervention. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the post-test quality of life between the two groups (p = 0.187), but there was a significant difference in the psychological (p = 0.014) and environmental health (p = 0.021) domain of quality of life. There was no significant difference in the post-test of a healthy lifestyle between the two groups (p = 0.083). There was a significant difference in the post-test family burden between the two groups (p = 0.015). CONCLUSION: Mobile Application-Based Home Care Nursing is effective in improving patient quality of life in the psychological and environmental health domains and reducing the family burden for post-discharge patients.

Pandemia COVID-19: consecuencias de la sobreexposición al uso de tecnologías de la Información y comunicación / COVID-19 pandemic: consequences of overexposure to the use of information and communication technologies

Resumen Objetivo: Establecer la asociación entre la sobreexposición al uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) con la percepción sobre estilos de vida saludable y la salud mental, antes y durante la pandemia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio con abordaje cuantitativo, de tipo cohorte retrospectivo, realizado en estudiantes de tres preparatorias ubicadas en el golfo de México que aceptaron participar, mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario en línea Google Forms. Para analizar los resultados se utilizó estadística descriptiva como medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión, además se usaron técnicas estadísticas con muestras relacionadas para precisar cambios presentados antes y durante la pandemia; se calculó la razón de momios y sus intervalos de confianza al 95% para identificar la asociación entre la sobreexposición al uso de las TIC, con estilos de vida saludable y salud mental relacionados. Resultados: Participaron 432 estudiantes, la mayoría del sexo femenino (66.7%), del segundo semestre (62.7%), de entre 15 años (39.4%) y 16 años (35.6%). Con respecto al uso de las TIC, se encuentra que a la pandemia más del 50% de las respuestas obtenidas reflejaban un uso normal, sin embargo, durante el uso de los diversos dispositivos incrementó, con relación a la asociación entre la sobreexposición al uso de las TIC y la salud mental; para el caso de la depresión se encontró que antes de la pandemia los estudiantes tenían casi 2.9 veces posibilidades de presentar depresión si habían tenido sobrexposición al uso de las TIC, estas posibilidades se incrementaron casi 7.2 veces durante la pandemia. Conclusiones: En el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19, la sobrexposición al uso de las TIC ha ocasionado cambios importantes en la salud mental de los adolescentes, sumados a los cambios propios de la etapa de desarrollo en que se encuentran.

Abstract Objective: We aimed to analyze the association between overexposure to the use of ICT with the perception on healthy lifestyles and mental health before and during the pandemic. Materials and methods: We conducted a quantitative and retrospective cohort study on students from 3 high schools, located in the Gulf of Mexico, who were surveyed using an online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, such as measures of central tendency and dispersion, were used to analyze the results. Also, statistical techniques were used for related samples to specify changes occurred before and during the pandemic. The Odds Ratio and its 95% confidence intervals were calculated to identify the association between overexposure to the use of ICT with healthy lifestyles and mental health. Results: 432 students were included in our study. Most of them were female (66.7%), (62.7%) were studying the second semester, aged 15 (39.4%) to 16 (35.6%) years. Regarding the use of ICT, we found that before the pandemic more than 50% of the responses pointed out a normal use, but during the pandemic the use of various devices increased. Concerning the association between overexposure to the use of ICT and mental health, in this case depression, we found that before the pandemic students had almost 2.9 times the chance of developing depression if they had been overexposure to the use of ICT. These possibilities increased almost 7.2 times during the pandemic. Conclusions: Further research is mandatory to explore the mental health of adolescents, since during the COVID-19 pandemic important changes occurred, including those changes inherent to the stage they are undergoing.

Conclusions: There is little information on the effects that COVID-19 confinement has caused on the lifestyles of infants, the existing information shows changes in pro-healthy eating habits in infants and decreased physical activity; therefore, activities aimed at guardians or responsible adults are recommended so that they can supervise feeding and improve nutrition, as well as carry out activities that encourage physical activity.

Physical activity and associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazilian university students: a scoping review / Atividade física e fatores associados durante a pandemia de COVID-19 em universitários brasileiros: revisão de escopo

This study aimed to map the national publications that address the variable physical activity and associated factors among Brazilian university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a scop-ing review based on original studies developed and published in Brazil between 2020 and 2023. They were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic scenario and indexed in the databases Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences), and Google Scholar. By identifying the different approaches and factors associated with the subject, the descriptive synthesis explored the subtopics "level of physical activity and sedentary behavior," "mental health," and "sleep". Out of the 1,180 initial papers, 11 papers composed the synthesis, featuring different sampling patterns, ranging from 68 to 5,720 students, and taking place in several Brazilian states. Despite the geographical variety, few studies were conducted in the North and Midwest regions. The prevalence of physical inactivity among students ranged from 40.0% to 49.3%, and social isolation and restrictions contributed to this trend. Mental health was also affected, with the symptoms of anxiety and depression being more common among the inactive. On the other hand, active students reported better mental health. The relationship between physical activity and sleep was unclear, but the pandemic intensified sleep problems in general. In short, future studies are necessary to explore causes, effects, and regional influences. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods may offer a more comprehensive perspective on the students' experiences regarding physical activity during public health crises

Neste estudo objetivou-se mapear as publicações nacionais que abordam a variável atividade física e fato-res associados entre estudantes universitários brasileiros durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo a partir de estudos originais, desenvolvidos no Brasil, publicados entre 2020 e 2023, realizados no cenário clínico da pandemia de COVID-19 e indexados nas bases de dados: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde) e Google Scholar. Ao constatar-se diferentes abordagens e fatores associados a problemática, a síntese descritiva foi explorada em subtópicos "nível de atividade física e comportamento sedentário" "saúde mental " e "sono". Dos 1.180 artigos iniciais, 11 artigos compuseram a síntese, abrangendo distintos padrões amostrais, variando de 68 a 5.720 estudantes, conduzidos em diferentes estados brasileiros. Apesar dessa variedade regional, observou-se uma escassez de estudos nas regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste. A prevalência de inatividade física entre os estudantes variou de 40,0% a 49,3%. O isolamento social e as restrições contribuíram para essa ten-dência. A saúde mental também foi acometida, com sintomas de ansiedade e depressão mais comuns entre os inativos. Por outro lado, os estudantes ativos relataram melhor saúde mental. A relação entre atividade física e sono não foi clara, mas a pandemia intensificou os problemas de sono em geral. Em suma, futuras pesquisas são relevantes para explorar causas, efeitos e influências regionais. A combinação de métodos qualitativos e quantitativos podem oferecer perspectivas mais abrangentes das experiências dos estudantes em relação à atividade física durante crises de saúde pública.

Impact of an educational intervention about healthy lifestyles in teenagers.

BACKGROUND: During the last years, lifestyle has worsened along the entire European population, causing an alarming boom-up regarding overweight and obese people. Pediatric population is also influenced in this sense, which may predispose to suffer from several diseases in adulthood. Educational interventions at early ages could be an effective strategy to face this situation. AIM: To describe the impact of an educational intervention about healthy lifestyle in adolescents. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study analyzing the knowledge of high school students, before and after a brief educational intervention based on a self-elaborated questionnaire including questions from the validated questionnaire CAPA (from Spanish, Conocimientos en Alimentación de Personas Adolescentes). RESULTS: The results of this study show a significant increase in knowledge about healthy lifestyles in the study population after the educational intervention (14.3±3.8 vs. 16.5±4.5; p<0.001). In addition, this improvement presents an asymmetric distribution according to gender (13.2±3.6 vs. 14.9±4.6; p=0.002 in men; 15.6±3 vs. 18.1±3.6; p<0.001 in women) and the type of educational center (14.17±3.6 vs. 16.48±4.17; p<0.001 in public schools and 14.86±4.15 vs. 16.54±5.32; p=0.047 in private schools). Parents' educational level was associated with improvement in knowledge about healthy lifestyles (13.44±2.9 vs. 15.67±5.37; p=0.132 at low level, 14.22±3.42 vs. 16.9±4.68; p<0.001 at medium level and 15.75±3.3 vs. 17.39±4.5; p=0.022 at high level). CONCLUSION: Educational intervention taught by primary health care professionals is a useful and efficient tool for the acquisition of nutritional and healthy lifestyle knowledge in adolescents.

Efecto del confinamiento por COVID-19 en la prevalencia de la enfermedad hepática esteatósica asociada a disfunción metabólica / Effect of COVID-19 lockdown on the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

Introducción. La enfermedad hepática esteatósica asociada a disfunción metabólica (MASLD) es una condición clínica frecuente, relacionada con el sobrepeso, la dislipidemia y la diabetes. Como estos factores de riesgo están a su vez asociados al sedentarismo y la ganancia de peso, se esperaría un impacto como resultado del confinamiento por COVID-19 en la prevalencia de dicha condición. Metodología. Estudio longitudinal retrospectivo en un panel de datos de 132 pacientes de 2017 a 2022, en donde fueron incluidos pacientes con una ecografía hepática y una valoración médica y paraclínica 1,5 años antes y después del periodo de confinamiento (25 de marzo de 2020 a 28 de febrero de 2021). El desenlace primario fue un cambio significativo en la prevalencia de la MASLD, y se utilizó un modelo exploratorio de regresión logística de efectos fijos con panel de datos para hallar los predictores de cambio. Resultados. En un total de 132 pacientes analizados, la prevalencia global de la MASLD antes (31 %; IC95%: 23-39) y después (35,6 %; IC95%: 27,4-43,8) del confinamiento por COVID-19 no cambió significativamente, sin embargo, en las mujeres sí hubo un aumento significativo (RR: 4; IC95%: 1,0004-16). Se encontró una marcada diferencia de prevalencia entre sexos (17 % en mujeres y 46 % en hombres; p=0,001). El confinamiento se asoció a incrementos en la masa corporal (diferencia: +1 kg; IC95%: 0,1-1,9), el colesterol LDL (diferencia: +9,7 mg/dL; IC95%: 4,9-14,4) y al diagnóstico de prediabetes (RR: 2,1; IC95%: 1,4-3,1). La MASLD se asoció positivamente a la preferencia nutricional por la comida rápida (p=0,047). Solo el índice de masa corporal resultó predictor independiente de MASLD (RR: 1,49; IC95%: 1,07-1,93). Conclusión. La prevalencia global de la MASLD no varió después del confinamiento por COVID-19, pero sí se incrementó en mujeres, y algunos de sus factores de riesgo también aumentaron significativamente. Se encontró equivalencia numérica entre la MASLD y la definición previa de la enfermedad. Se requiere un estudio local más grande para desarrollar y validar un mejor modelo predictor del cambio de la MASLD a través del tiempo.

Introduction. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a common clinical condition, related to overweight, dyslipidemia and diabetes. As these risk factors are in turn associated with sedentary lifestyle and weight gain, an impact as a result of the COVID-19 confinement on the prevalence of MASLD would be expected. Methodology. Retrospective longitudinal study in a data panel of 132 patients from 2017 to 2022. Patients with a liver ultrasound and a medical and paraclinical assessment 1.5 years before and after the confinement period (March 25, 2020 to February 28, 2021) were included. The primary outcome was a significant change in the prevalence of MASLD, and an exploratory fixed-effects logistic regression model with panel data was used to find predictors of change. Results. In a total of 132 patients analyzed, the overall prevalence of MASLD before (31%, 95%CI: 23-39) and after (35.6%, 95%CI: 27.4-43.8) confinement by COVID-19 did not change significantly, however, in women there was a significant increase (RR: 4, 95%CI: 1.0004-16). A marked difference in prevalence was found between sexes (17% in women and 46% in men; p=0.001). Confinement was associated with increases in body mass (difference: +1 kg, 95%CI: 0.1-1.9), LDL cholesterol (difference: +9.7 mg/dL, 95%CI: 4.9-14.4) and the diagnosis of prediabetes (RR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.4-3.1). MASLD was positively associated with nutritional preference for fast food (p=0.047). Only body mass index was an independent predictor of MASLD (RR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.07-1.93). Conclusion. The overall prevalence of MASLD did not change after the COVID-19 lockdown, but it did increase in women, and some of its risk factors also increased significantly. Numerical equivalence was found between MASLD and the previous definition of the disease. A larger local study is required to develop and validate a better predictor model of MASLD change over time.

[Assessment of the eating habit in the health-related lifestyle among Spanish adults from 22 to 72 years of age]. / Valoración del hábito de alimentación en el estilo de vida saludable adquirido en adultos españoles de 22 a 72 años de edad.

Introduction: Introduction: eating habits are one of the main predictors of health within a person lifestyle. The assessment of these habits will be essential to confirm health-related habits and orientate behaviors of risk for health. Objectives: to assess the eating habits within the health-related lifestyle among Spanish adults from 22 to 72 years of age. Methods: the Health-Related Lifestyle Assessment Scale (E-VEVSA) was applied to a sample of 788 subjects between the ages of 22 and 72. This scale is made up of 52 items and structured in seven dimensions, among which the healthy eating habit was evaluated, which explained a variance of 8.67 % of the total scale (66.87 %) and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.794 for a total alpha of 0.894. Results: sixteen percent of the adults surveyed have healthy eating habits, 68.3 % tend towards health and 15.7 % are unhealthy. Pearson's 2 tests show a positive and significant association of women with healthy eating habits and a significant improvement with age. The inferential data (Student's t-tests and one-factor ANOVA) confirm these differences according to gender and age. Conclusions: it is necessary to promote preventive programs to improve eating habits in the adult population, especially in the 15.7 % that have an unhealthy level of nutrition in their lifestyle.

Introducción: Introducción: los hábitos de alimentación constituyen uno de los factores predictores de salud principales dentro de los estilos de vida adquiridos. La evaluación de dichos hábitos va a ser fundamental para poder reafirmar las conductas saludables y reorientar aquellos hábitos que supongan un riesgo. Objetivos: evaluar el hábito de alimentación dentro del estilo de vida saludable adquirido en adultos españoles de 22 a 72 años de edad. Métodos: a una muestra de 788 sujetos de edades comprendidas entre los 22 y los 72 años de edad se aplicó la Escala de Valoración del Estilo de Vida Saludable Adquirido (E-VEVSA), formada por 52 ítems y estructurada en siete dimensiones, entre las cuales se evaluó el hábito de alimentación saludable, que explicó una varianza de 8,67 % sobre el total de la escala (66,87 %) y un alfa de Cronbach de 0,794 para un alfa total de 0,894. Resultados: el 16 % de los adultos encuestados posee hábitos de alimentación saludables; el 68,3 %, tendente hacia la salud; y el 15,7 %, poco saludables. Las pruebas de 2 de Pearson muestran una asociación positiva y significativa de las mujeres con hábitos saludables de alimentación y una mejora significativa con el transcurso de la edad. Los datos inferenciales (pruebas t de Student y ANOVA de un factor) confirman estas diferencias en función del sexo y la edad. Conclusiones: es necesario promover programas preventivos para la mejora de los hábitos de alimentación en la población adulta, sobre todo, en el 15,7 % que posee un nivel poco saludable de la alimentación en su estilo de vida.

[Development and validation of the food quality score in ELSA-Brasil]. / Desarrollo y validación de la puntuación de calidad alimentaria en el ELSA-Brasil.

Introduction: miology.Introduction: nutritional epidemiology seeks to understand the relationship between food consumption and the occurrence of diseases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) used a reduced Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to compare diet quality between cohort stages. Objective: to develop and validate an index created using a food quality score (FQS) using the FFQ of ELSA-Brasil. Methods: a cross-sectional study carried out between August 2020 and March 2021 with 4262 participants. For each frequency of consumption of healthy and unhealthy food markers, a score was given. Validity and reliability were tested using Pearson's correlation, principal component analysis (PCA) and Cronbach's alpha. Tests were performed to verify differences between individual characteristics and FQS. Results: the PCA indicated a total variability of 42.5 %. Women and individuals with higher age, physical activity and per capita income had a higher FQS, while those who reported higher consumption of alcohol and being smokers had a lower score. Cronbach's alpha was 0.47. Conclusion: the FQS showed a satisfactory validity and reliability and was associated with socioeconomic and lifestyle data. Therefore, it is a useful tool for comparing dietary information, thus contributing to nutritional epidemiology.

Introducción: Introducción: la epidemiología nutricional busca comprender la relación entre el consumo de alimentos y la ocurrencia de enfermedades. Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, el Estudio Longitudinal de Salud del Adulto (ELSA-Brasil) utilizó un Cuestionario de Frecuencia de Alimentos (CFA) reducido para comparar la calidad de la dieta en diferentes etapas de la cohorte. Objetivo: desarrollar y validar un índice creado a partir de un score (o puntuación) de calidad alimentaria (SCA) utilizando el CFA del ELSA-Brasil. Métodos: estudio transversal realizado entre agosto de 2020 y marzo de 2021 con 4262 participantes. Para cada categoría de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos indicadores de alimentación saludable y no saludable, se otorgó una puntuación. La validez y la fiabilidad se estimaron mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson, el análisis de componentes principales (ACP) y la alfa de Cronbach. Se realizaron pruebas para verificar las diferencias entre las características individuales y la SCA. Resultados: el ACP indicó una variabilidad total del 42,5 %. Las mujeres y los individuos con mayor edad, actividad física e ingreso per cápita obtuvieron un valor de SCA más alto, mientras que aquellos que reportaron un mayor consumo de alcohol y tabaquismo obtuvieron una puntuación más baja. La alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,47. Conclusión: la SCA mostró una validez y confiabilidad satisfactorias y se asoció con datos socioeconómicos y de estilo de vida. Por lo tanto, es una herramienta útil para comparar la información dietética, contribuyendo a los futuros análisis en epidemiología nutricional.
