ABSTRACT

The final stage of Fe deficiency is Fe deficiency anaemia, with repercussions for human health, especially in children under 5 years of age. Studies conducted in Brazilian public daycare centres show high prevalence of anaemia. The present study aims to evaluate the availability of Fe in the meals of the Municipal Centers of Early Childhood Education in Maceió. The experimental design comprises selection of algorithms, menu evaluation, calculation of the estimates, comparison between the estimates obtained and the recommendations, and analysis of correlation between meal constituents, and of the concordance between the absorbable Fe estimates. Four algorithms were selected and a monthly menu consisting of 22 d. The correlation analysis showed a moderate positive correlation to animal tissue (AT) v. non-heme iron (r = 0·42; P = 0·04), and negative to AT v. Ca (r = -0·54; P = 0·09) and Ca v. phytates (r = -0·46, P = 0·03). Estimates of absorbable Fe ranged from 0·23 to 0·44 mg/d. The amount of Fe available, unlike the total amount of Fe offered, does not meet the nutritional recommendations on most school days. The Bland-Altman analysis indicated that the Monsen and Balinfty and Rickard et al. showed greater agreement. The results confirm the need to adopt strategies to increase the availability of Fe in school meals.

ABSTRACT

A transição alimentar e nutricional promoveu mudanças significativas no padrão alimentar da população. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os teores de sal e sódio ofertados no almoço de um restaurante universitário, de acordo com as recomendações da Organização Mundial de Saúde e Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira. Como resultados verificou-se que o per capita de sal obtido para o almoço foi de 4,76 g (95,2 % da recomendação diária da OMS e do Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira). A média de sódio de todas as preparações ofertadas no almoço foi de 1.877, 24 mg de sódio (93,86 % da recomendação diária segundo a OMS). Concluiu-se com o estudo que os teores de sódio encontrados nas preparações do almoço do restaurante universitário foram superiores à recomendação do Guia Alimentar para a população brasileira e da OMS.
