RESUMO

The present study identified dietary patterns (DP) and analyse their association with household composition. This is a cross-sectional school-based study, with a nationally representative sample of Brazilian adolescent students, aged 11-19 years, with data from National School Health Survey (n 102 072). Food consumption was obtained through the weekly frequency of consumption of food markers, and the confirmatory factor analysis was applied to examine the latent variables 'Healthy' (beans, legumes/vegetables and fresh fruit/fruit salad) and 'Unhealthy' (ultra-processed foods, sweets, soft drinks and snacks) DP. The association between household composition and DP was estimated considering lives with both parents as reference category. Among adolescents aged 11-14 years, adherence to healthy DP was lower for boys who lived only with mother (ß = -2·1), and boys (ß = -4·9) and girls (ß = -4·5) who lived without any parents. Adherence to unhealthy DP was higher among boys (ß = 7·6) and girls (ß = 6·0) who lived only with mother, and boys (ß = 4·6) and girls (ß = 5·3) who lived only with father. For older adolescents (aged 15-19 years), adherence to the unhealthy DP was higher among boys who lived only with mother (ß = 3·9) or only with father (ß = 5·3) and girls who lived only with mother (ß = 6·3). Adherence to healthy DP was lower among girls who lived only with father (ß = -9·0). Thus, adolescents who lived in single-parent households had lower adherence to healthy DP and greater adherence to unhealthy DP. Among younger adolescents of both sexes, living without any parent contributed to lower adherence to healthy DP.

RESUMO

Chile was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The implementation of social distancing measures strongly affected the Chilean economy: the unemployment rate grew rapidly as well as the proportion of population temporarily excluded from the labour force. This article analyses the strategies deployed by Chilean households to cope with the impact of the pandemic at the intersection with household structure and its socio-economics characteristics. Secondary data analysis from the Encuesta Social COVID-19 (COVID-19 Social Survey), carried out by the Chilean Ministry for Social Development and Families, were used to analyse the income-generating and expenditure-minimising strategies adopted by households during the early months (March to July of 2020) of the pandemic. The results show that 60.3% of households experienced a drop in family income, 70.3% indicated that they had to use at least one income-generating strategy, and 76.6% at least one expenditure-minimising strategy during the early months of the pandemic. Indebtedness and decapitalisation characterised most of the coping strategies adopted by households. While living in multigenerational households does not protect family members from declining economic well-being, older people living in one- and two-generation households were found to be least affected economically during the crisis. They were also less likely to resort to these coping strategies, insofar as their income was mainly secured from pensions. Although female-headed households did not show a greater reduction in income than male-headed households, they were more likely to adopt income-generating strategies. This article draws attention to the possible effects of decapitalisation and indebtedness on the long-term economic well-being of households with different structures, and the resulting inequalities in their capacity to recover from the effects of the pandemic. The findings suggest that having a source of family income that is not dependent on labour market flows is crucial in times of crises.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente a associação entre composição domiciliar e consumo alimentar em adolescentes. Métodos: Trata-se de revisão sistemática da literatura. A busca dos artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE via PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Web of Science, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Embase e Scopus. Os artigos foram avaliados por meio do Research Triangle Institute (RTI) Item Bank sobre risco de viés e acurácia de estudos observacionais. Foram avaliados estudos observacionais com adolescentes (10-19 anos de idade). Resultados: Dos 2.324 artigos encontrados, 11 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão, 9 de delineamento transversal e 2 longitudinais. Quanto à avaliação do consumo alimentar, foram avaliadas as frequências de: jantar em família, consumo de café da manhã, consumo de refeições, omissão do café da manhã, consumo de grupos alimentares, número de refeições realizadas durante o dia, assim como densidade energética de grupos alimentares e o Índice de Alimentação Saudável. Observou-se que adolescentes que moravam com ambos os pais apresentaram maior frequência de consumo do café da manhã e maior consumo de vegetais. Preferências alimentares mais positivas e saudáveis foram mais frequentes entre adolescentes que residiam em famílias nucleares. Por outro lado, consumo irregular de café da manhã e consumo de marcadores de alimentação não saudável foram mais frequentes entre adolescentes residentes em domicílios monoparentais, com família reconstituída e famílias extensas. Conclusão: Adolescentes que moravam com ambos os pais apresentaram melhor consumo alimentar. Ressalta-se a necessidade de considerar a composição domiciliar ao planejar programas de promoção da alimentação saudável entre adolescentes. (AU)

Objective: To review systematically the association between household composition and eating habits of adolescents. Methods: Systematic literature review. The search of articles was conducted on the databases MEDLINE via PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, Embase and Scopus. The articles were assessed through the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) Item Bank for risk of bias and accuracy of observational studies. Observational studies with adolescents (aged 10-19 years) were carried out. Results: Of 2,324 articles found, 11 met the eligibility criteria, nine being cross-sectional and two longitudinal studies. With respect to dietary habits, we assessed the following frequencies: family dinner, breakfast, meals consumption, breakfast skipping, food groups eaten, number of meals eaten per day, as well as energy density of food groups and the Healthy Diet Demetra Index. It was found that adolescents who lived with both parents had a higher frequency of having breakfast and eating more vegetables. The most positive and healthy food preferences were more frequent for adolescents who lived in nuclear families. On the other hand, irregular breakfast consumption and consumption of unhealthy food markers were more frequent among adolescents living in single-parent households, in reconstituted and extended families. Conclusion: Adolescents living with both parents have better eating patterns. The need to consider the household composition when planning healthy eating promotion programs for adolescents is highlighted. (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate differences in food consumption of Brazilian adults according to the presence of children and adolescents in the household. DESIGN: Averages of two non-consecutive days of food records from the first Brazilian National Dietary Survey were analysed and classified into eighteen food groups according to nutritional characteristics and use in diet. We compared the mean percentage contribution to total daily energy intake of each food group according to three groups of household composition: adults living alone or with other adults (32·7 %), adults living with children (35·6 %) and adults living with adolescents (31·7 %). SETTING: Brazilian nationwide survey, 2008-2009. PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 20-59 years (n 6312; 52·1 % female). RESULTS: Women living alone or with other adults had higher consumption of vegetables, milk and other drinks, and lower consumption of beans and rice, compared with those living with children or adolescents. Men living alone or with other adults had higher consumption of sweets & desserts and vegetables, and lower consumption of beans, compared with those living with children or adolescents. According to household income, adults in the highest tertile who lived with children or adolescents presented a mixed consumption of healthy and unhealthy foods, whereas their counterparts in the first income tertile presented a marked consumption of foods considered traditional of the Brazilian population. CONCLUSIONS: There are differences in food consumption based on the presence of children and adolescents in the household, with greater variation according to gender and household income.

RESUMO

Brazil has a high rate of mothers living without a partner as well as a high intergenerational co-residence rate, including parents and grandparents. These family types may influence a child's well-being. Even though there is no evidence of sex-selective abortion in Brazil, sex preference could still be subtly present. This paper tests the composition of family structure (father co-residence, grandmother co-residence, and birth of siblings) in Brazil associated with the sex of the child by using a nationally representative household survey, treating sex of the first and second child as exogenous variables in OLS regressions. I found women with lower birth-order daughters are less likely to live with a partner. I also found suggestive evidence that maternal grandmothers are more likely to live with granddaughters than with grandsons. Women with lower birth-order daughters are more likely to have additional children. Evidence suggests that in Brazil, fathers show a preference for sons over daughters, while grandmothers show a preference for granddaughters over grandsons. Additionally, mothers of girls, without co-residing partners may compensate for the economic loss caused by their lack of partner by living with their own mother. This contributes to the literature on child sex preferences, which has mostly focused on males (fathers); I have analyzed data on grandmothers to include females.

SEXO DA CRIANÇA E ESTRUTURA DOMICILIAR NO BRASIL VIÉS DOS PAIS E DOS AVÓS?: O Brasil tem um alto índice de mulheres vivendo sozinhas com seus filhos e de domicílios intergeracionais, nos quais há presença de pais e avós. A estrutura domiciliar pode influenciar o desenvolvimento infantil. Apesar de o Brasil não apresentar evidências de aborto seletivo por sexo, a preferência por gênero ainda pode estar sutilmente presente. Testamos se a corresidência com o pai, a corresidência com a avó e o nascimento de um próximo filho estão associados com o sexo das crianças no Brasil. Usando uma amostra representativa nacionalmente, foram realizadas regressões OLS, considerando o sexo do primeiro e do segundo filho como variáveis exógenas. Mulheres com filhas em menor ordem de nascimento são mais propensas a serem solteiras. Encontraram-se evidências de que as avós maternas são mais propensas a viver com netas do que com netos, o que pode amenizar as perdas econômicas da falta da presença do pai no domicílio. As mulheres com filhas em menor ordem de nascimento são mais propensas a terem filhos adicionais, sugerindo a preferência por filho homem. A literatura anterior tem um enfoque na presença do pai. Aqui inclui-se a avó para aumentar a perspectiva feminina. Estes dados contribuem para a literatura em relação à preferência pelo sexo das crianças, que se concentra na análise da figura masculina (pais); analisamos dados sobre as avós para incluir mulheres.

EL SEXO DEL NIÑO Y LA ESTRUCTURA DEL HOGAR EN BRASIL ¿PREFERENCIAS DE PADRES Y ABUELAS?: +Estos dos tipos de organizaciones familiares podrían influir en el bienestar de los niños. Aunque no hay evidencia en Brasil de preferencias de en aborto selectivo con base en el género, es posible que estas preferencias se presenten de manera más sutil. En este estudio se analiza si la estructura del hogar (corresidencia con el padre, corresidencia con la abuela y el nacimiento de los siguientes hijos) en Brasil está asociada con el sexo del niño. Usando una encuesta nacionalmente representativa y considerando el sexo del primer y segundo hijo como variables exógenas se hicieron regresiones OLS. Los resultados muestran que las mujeres con hijas en menor orden de nacimiento son más propensas a ser solteras. Además se encuentra evidencia sugerente de que las abuelas maternas son más propensas a vivir con nietas que con nietos, lo que puede compensar la pérdida económica por la falta del padre de los hijos en el domicilio. Las mujeres con hijas en menor orden de nacimientos son más propensas a tener hijos adicionales, lo que sugiere la preferencia por el hijo varón. Si bien la literatura previa a este estudio se enfoca sobre la presencia del padre en el hogar, el presente trabajo incluye a la abuela para aumentar la perspectiva femenina. Estos datos contribuyen a la literatura en relación con la preferencia por el sexo de los hijos que se concentra en el análisi de la figura masculina (padres).

RESUMO

Diversos estudos mostram que, em vários países, incluindo o Brasil, o período que os jovens permanecem na casa dos pais aumentou constantemente entre 1970 e 2000. O presente trabalho analisa a decisão dos jovens de sair da casa dos pais, a saída da escola e a entrada no mercado de trabalho, com o objetivo de identificar se o bom desempenho da economia brasileira entre 2003 e 2011 promoveu a aceleração dessas transições para a vida adulta. Utilizando os microdados da PNAD, calculou-se a proporção de jovens de 15 a 34 anos de áreas metropolitanas que moram com os pais, que estudam e que trabalham. Em seguida, utiliza-se a análise de entropia com o objetivo de analisar essas três dimensões conjuntamente. Os resultados sugerem uma quebra com o paradigma do prolongamento da juventude amplamente discutido nas últimas décadas: houve uma aceleração da transição para a vida adulta no período analisado...

Abstract Academic evidence from all over the world, including Brazil, show that young people have increasingly delayed the decision of leaving their parents' house since the seventies. This paper studies the decision of young people regarding living with their parents, studying and working. Our goal is to evaluate how young people's transition to adulthood changed due to a growing economy between 2003 and 2011. Using the National Household Sample Surveys (PNADs) of 2003 and 2011, we calculate the proportion of people between 15 and 34 years in metropolitan areas living with parents, studying and working. The fraction of young people living with their parents didn't change significantly during 2003 and 2011, there was a drop in school attendance and the proportion of workers among young people increased. In order to access the interplay of these three dimensions we perform an entropy analysis. Our results suggest a reversal of the pattern of extending youth, which has been vastly debated over the last decades...

Resumen En todo el mundo, Brasil incluso, varios estudios demuestran que el periodo que los jóvenes permanecen en la casa de sus padres ha aumentado entre los años 1970 y 2000. Utilizando los microdatos de la PNAD (Encuesta Nacional de Hogares por Muestreo) de los años 2003 y 2011, se estiman las la proporción de jóvenes entre 15 y 34 años de edad en las áreas metropolitanas que viven con los padres, estudian y trabajan. La proporción de jóvenes que viven con sus padres no ha cambiado significativamente entre 2003 y 2011, hubo una disminución de la asistencia a la escuela en esta cohorte y un aumento en la proporción de trabajadores entre los jóvenes. Luego se realizó un análisis de la entropía con el objetivo de analizar estas tres dimensiones conjuntamente. Los resultados sugieren una ruptura con el paradigma de la prolongación de la juventud ampliamente discutido en las últimas décadas...
