ABSTRACT
Abstract This study aimed to identify the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with magnesium intake and describe the main food sources in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brazil). This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted using the baseline data from the ELSA-Brazil (2008-2010). Associations between usual magnesium intake and sociodemographic and lifestyle factors were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Food sources were identified by calculating the percentage contribution of each FFQ item to the amount of magnesium provided by all foods. The analysis was performed using Stata® software (version 12), assuming a statistical significance level of 5%. The top food sources to magnesium intake were as follows: beans, oats, nuts, white rice, orange, French bread, cooked fish, boneless meat, whole milk, and whole wheat bread. There were positive associations between magnesium intake and female sex; age ≥60 years; self-reported black, indigenous, or brown skin colors; per capita income ≥3 minimum wages, and moderate or vigorous physical activity levels. Sociodemographic and lifestyle factors were associated with magnesium intake among the evaluated individuals.
Resumo O estudo tem por objetivo identificar fatores sociodemográficos e de estilo de vida associados à ingestão de magnésio e descrever seus principais alimentos contribuintes no Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil). Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, desenvolvido com dados da linha de base do ELSA-Brasil (2008-2010). Associações entre a ingestão habitual de magnésio e fatores sociodemográficos e de estilo de vida foram testadas por regressão linear múltipla. Contribuintes alimentares foram identificados a partir do cálculo do porcentual de magnésio fornecido por cada item do QFA em relação quantidade total proveniente de todos os alimentos. Os principais alimentos contribuintes para a ingestão de magnésio foram: feijão, aveia, nozes, arroz branco, laranja, pão francês, peixe cozido, carne sem osso, leite integral e pão integral. Foram encontradas associações positivas entre consumo de magnésio e sexo feminino, faixa etária ≥ 60 anos, cor de pele autodeclarada como negra, indígena ou parda, renda "per capita" ≥ 3 salários mínimos e níveis de atividade física moderado ou vigoroso. Alimentos da dieta tradicional do brasileiro foram os maiores contribuintes para a ingestão de magnésio, que também foi influenciada por fatores sociodemográficos e de estilo de vida.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Despite evidence that diet is very important in relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, studies in this field are scarce and have focused only on some specific nutrients. We evaluated the energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes and dietary patterns of non-dialysis CKD participants in the PROGREDIR study. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study; CKD cohort, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: Baseline data on 454 participants in the PROGREDIR study were analyzed. Dietary intake was evaluated through a food frequency questionnaire. Dietary patterns were derived through principal component analysis. Energy and protein intakes were compared with National Kidney Foundation recommendations. Linear regression analysis was performed between energy and nutrient intakes and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and between sociodemographic and clinical variables and dietary patterns. RESULTS: Median energy and protein intakes were 25.0 kcal/kg and 1.1 g/kg, respectively. In linear regression, protein intake (β = -3.67; P = 0.07) was related to eGFR. Three dietary patterns (snack, mixed and traditional) were retained. The snack pattern was directly associated with male gender (β = 0.27; P = 0.006) and inversely with diabetes (β = -0.23; P = 0.02). The traditional pattern was directly associated with male gender (β = 0.27; P = 0.007) and schooling (β = 0.40; P < 0.001) and inversely with age (β = -0.01; P = 0.001) and hypertension (β = -0.34; P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We identified low energy and high protein intake in this population. Protein intake was inversely related to eGFR. Dietary patterns were associated with age, gender, schooling level, hypertension and diabetes.
