- Abstract
Energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes are compared by two food composition lists: Brazilian Food Composition List and nutrition facts and the United States Department of Agriculture Food Composition Databases (USDA). Current transversal study comprised data on food intake of participants within the main research theme 'Changes in Life Style and Cardiovascular Risks'. Data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis and Post-Hoc Dunn tests and by Pearson's Co-relation test. Fifty-nine 24-h records were evaluated. Medians of 21 out of 29 nutrients (72.4%) showed statistically significant difference (p<0.05) when compared to results from evaluated tables. There was significant divergence between the nutrition rates in the lists. The above is a warning on the use of these tools and their influence on results in calculating food intake and impact in nutritional prescriptions.
