RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To describe the meals consumed by adults living in a midsize city in the South of Brazil, according to the place and preparation. METHODS: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, in 2012. The two-stage sampling design used the 2010 census tracts as primary sampling units. Data were collected on the place of meals (at home or out) and on the kind of preparations consumed at home (homemade, snacks, take away food) covering the two days prior to the interview, using a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS: The study included 2,927 adults, of which 59.0% were female, 60.0% were below 50 years of age and 58.0% were in work. Data were collected on 11,581 meals consumed on the two days preceding the interview, 25.0% were consumed outside of the home at lunchtime, and 10.0% at dinnertime. Considering home meals, most participants reported eating food prepared at home at both lunch and dinner. The majority of out-of-home meals (64.0% for lunch and 61.0% for dinner) were consumed in the work place, mostly based on food prepared at home. Individuals eating out of home were mostly male, young and highly educated. The occupational categories that ate at restaurants more often were trade workers, businessmen, teachers and graduate professionals. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the changes in eating patterns described in Brazil in recent years, residents of medium-sized towns still mostly eat at home, consuming homemade food.

This study evaluated the association between obesity and emotional and behavioral difficulties in adolescents. We studied 4,325 individuals 11 to 15 years of age who were members of the 1993 birth cohort in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Information on body mass index (BMI), maternal assessment of the adolescents' emotional and behavioral health (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire - SDQ), and sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics were used. Gender-stratified analyses were conducted with simple and multivariate linear regression. In the adjusted analysis, obesity only correlated with total SDQ scores in boys. Among the latter, teenage obesity was associated with higher scores on the subscale of relational problems with peers. Given current knowledge on the future implications of obesity and mental health and in dealing with adolescents, studies on gender differences in adolescence may contribute to understanding such associations.

O estudo avaliou a associação entre trajetória de obesidade e dificuldades emocionais e comportamentais em adolescentes. Foram estudados 4.325 jovens, aos 11 e 15 anos de idade, pertencentes à coorte de nascimentos de 1993 de Pelo-tas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Informações sobre índice de massa corporal (IMC), avaliação materna da saúde emocional e comportamental do adolescente (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire - SDQ) e características sociodemográficas e comportamentais foram utilizadas. As análises, estratificadas por sexo, foram conduzidas por meio de regressão linear simples e múltipla. A trajetória de obesidade mostrou associação com o escore total do SDQ, nas análises ajustadas, apenas entre os meninos. Entre esses, tornar-se obeso no período esteve relacionado com maior escore na subescala de problemas de relacionamento com os colegas. Diante do conhecimento atual sobre as implicações futuras da obesidade na saúde mental e em se tratando de adolescentes, sugere-se que estudos que avaliem as diferenças de gênero na adolescência possam contribuir para o entendimento da associação encontrada.

El estudio examinó la asociación entre la trayectoria de obesidad y las dificultades emocionales y de comportamiento en adolescentes. Se estudiaron 4.325 jóvenes, entre 11 y 15 años de edad, pertenecientes a la cohorte de nacimientos de 1993 en Pelotas, Brasil. Información acerca del índice de masa corporal (IMC), la evaluación materna de la salud emocional y comportamental de los adolescentes (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire - SDQ) y las características sociodemográficas y de comportamiento fueron utilizados. El análisis, estratificado por sexo, fue realizado a traves de la regresión lineal simple y múltiple. En el análisis ajustado, la trayectoria de la obesidad se há asociado com la puntuacion total del SDQ sólo entre los varones. Entre ellos, convertirse en obeso en el periodo se asoció con mayores puntuaciones en la subescala de problemas de relacionamiento con sus compañeros. Teniendo en cuenta los conocimientos actuales sobre las futuras consecuencias de la obesidad en la salud mental, y cuando se trata adolescentes, se sugiere que los estudios que evalúan las diferencias de género en la adolescencia puede contribuir a la comprensión de la asociación encontrada.
