Introduction: Excess body weight (EBW, including overweight and obesity) is a major public health problem in the country. Understanding nutritional status over time and associated factors, such as diet, besides its consequences, such as cardiometabolic risk factors, is essential for the development of interventions in health. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the population of the city of São Paulo, as well as changes in diet between 2003 and 2015, and its association with cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods: We used data from the cross-sectional population based study ISA-Capital 2003, 2008, and 2015, with probabilistic sampling of residents of the city of São Paulo aged 12 years and more, of both sexes, totaling 8,682 individuals. Socioeconomic, anthropometric, and lifestyle data and 24-hour dietary recalls were collected in the households and by telephone. The individuals were categorized according to BMI in two categories: with and without EBW. The evaluated cardiometabolic risk factors were: central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, high fasting glycaemia or glycated hemoglobin, and insulin resistance. We evaluated the frequency of intake and the portion sizes of 30 food groups, besides the diet quality, using the Revised Diet Quality Index for Brazilian population (BHEI-R) and the American Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI). Categorical variables were described and compared by Pearson\'s chi-square test and 95% confidence interval. Ordinal logistic and logistic regression models were performed to evaluate the association of the investigated variables with EBW and cardiometabolic risk factors. Results: The prevalence of obesity in the population doubled in the evaluated period, from 10% (8.0; 12.5) in 2003 to 19.2% (17.8; 20.6) in 2015, with the highest increase among female adolescents and adults. Adults, those with higher income, and former smokers were more likely to have EBW, which increased 31% between 2003 and 2008, and 126% between 2003 and 2015, when half of the population had EBW. If this pattern continues, it is expected that 77% of the population will have EBW by 2030. During this period, there was a variation in the portion sizes of food groups consumed, with increase in some groups (white meat, salted snacks, coffee/tea, eggs) and decrease in others (rice, red meat, sweets, pasta, sandwiches, cold cuts). In addition, there was an increase in the frequency of consumption of six groups (rice, white meat, sweets, fruits, commercial juices, toasts/biscuits). In this population, EBW was positively associated with larger portions of cold cuts, fried snacks, fruit and commercial juices, pizza, red meat, rice, salted snacks, soft drinks, soups and sugar. Regarding diet quality, adolescents with EBW had lower diet quality for the components whole grains (BHEI-R) and sugar sweetened beverages (AHEI) compared with adolescents without EBW. BHEI-R was inversely associated with EBW (OR = 0.87, 0.80, 0.95) and cardiovascular risk factors count (OR = 0.89, 0.80, 0.98) in this population. Conclusions: EBW increased substantially over a short period in the city of São Paulo, especially in some subgroups and it was positively associated with larger portion size of 11 food groups in the population, and with lower diet quality among adolescents. Also, adolescents with lower diet quality were more likely to have higher number of cardiovascular risk factors. These findings can subsidize interventions and policies to reduce the tendency of increase in EBW and to improve food intake in the population. (AU) | |
