| Dourado DAQS. 2015. Transversal. Health, Wellness and Aging Study (SABE) |
To verify the association between metabolic syndrome and eating patterns in elderly people from the city of São Paulo participating in the SABE study, in 2010. |
The inadequate pattern was significantly associated with male sex, schooling years greater than 8, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and absence of NCDs. The modified pattern was significantly associated with female sex, aged between 64 and 69 (cohort B), schooling years greater than 8, never having smoked and having 3 or more NCDs. The traditional Brazilian pattern was significantly associated with age between 60 and 64 years old (cohort C). The beneficial pattern was significantly associated with education and never having smoked. |
| Marucci MFN. 2018. Transversal. Health, Wellness and Aging Study (SABE) |
To compare the nutritional status and food intake of two cohorts (2000 and 2010) of the elderly (60 to 64 years old) participating in the SABE study, according to gender. |
Elderly people in the 2010 cohort had a higher prevalence ratio for consuming 3 or more meals/day and 5 or more glasses of liquids/day; and lower prevalence ratio for dairy products, meat and fruits and vegetables. Among women, the prevalence ratio was higher for consumption of 3 or more meals/day and lower for meat consumption; among men, the prevalence ratio was higher among those in the 2010 cohort for consumption of 3 or more meals/day and 5 or more glasses of liquids/day and lower for consumption of dairy products and fruits and vegetables (p<0, 05). |
