RESUMEN
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE The number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Brazil is between 600,000 and 890,000. Assessing the diet is important in planning healthcare actions and improving PLHIV's quality of life. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of inappropriate protein, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, fiber, sodium, calcium and cholesterol intake among PVHIV on highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study in nine Specialized STD/AIDS Healthcare Centers in São Paulo. METHODS Men and women aged 20 to 59 years, on HAART for at least three months, were included. Nutrient intake was assessed using 24-hour food recall applied in person and repeated among 30% of the population by telephone. The between and within-person variances were corrected. RESULTS 507 individuals were evaluated: 58% male, mean age 41.7 years (standard deviation, SD = 7.8). The mean time since HIV diagnosis was 6.6 years (SD = 4.1), and since HAART onset, 5.1 years (SD = 3.3). More than 20% of the population presented intake above the recommendations for saturated fat, cholesterol and/or sodium, and below the recommendations for fiber. The recommended maximum tolerable sodium level was exceeded by 99% of the sample, and 86% of men and 94% of women did not reach the daily recommendations for calcium. Protein, carbohydrate and total fat intakes were adequate for the majority of the population. CONCLUSIONS A significant portion of the population presented inappropriate intake of saturated fat, sodium, fiber and calcium. Interventions aimed at improving PLHIV's dietary quality are needed.

CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO O número de pessoas vivendo com HIV (PVH) no Brasil oscila entre 600.000 e 890.000. A avaliação de dietas é relevante para o planejamento de ações de saúde e melhoria da qualidade de vida desses indivíduos. Este estudo visa estimar a prevalência de inadequação do consumo de proteínas, lipídios totais, lipídios saturados, carboidratos, fibras, sódio, cálcio e colesterol em PVH em terapia antirretroviral de alta atividade (TARV). TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL Estudo transversal em nove Centros de Assistência Especializados em DST/Aids localizados em São Paulo. MÉTODOS Homens e mulheres com idade entre 20 e 59 anos, em TARV por no mínimo 3 meses, foram incluídos. O consumo de nutrientes foi avaliado com um recordatório alimentar de 24 horas aplicado pes-soalmente e repetido em 30% da população por telefone. A variabilidade intra e interpessoal foi corrigida. RESULTADOS Foram avaliados 507 indivíduos, 58% homens e idade média de 41,7 anos (desvio padrão, DP = 7,8). O tempo médio de infecção por HIV foi de 6,6 anos (DP = 4,1), e de TARV, de 5,1 anos (DP = 3,3). Mais que 20% da população apresentou consumo acima das recomendações para lipídios saturados, colesterol e/ou sódio, e abaixo para fibras. Excederam a recomendação máxima tolerada para sódio 99% da amostra, enquanto 86% dos homens e 94% das mulheres não atingiram as recomendações diárias para o cálcio. O consumo de proteínas, carboidratos e lipídios totais mostrou-se adequado para a maioria da população. CONCLUSÕES Uma importante parcela da população apresentou consumo inadequado para lipídios saturados, sódio, fibras ...
