- Abstract
Wheat is not only consumed worldwide but ranks first in production. Current qualitative and transversal research assesses the consumption of wheat derivates by the population in Maringá PR Brazil, and its co-relationship with demographic factors and nutritional status. Two hundred and seventy adults, aged 20-59 years, males and females, were evaluated. The adults were interviewed in supermarkets in Maringá with two questionnaires for data collection. The first questionnaire dealt with the subjects' profile (gender, age, color, schooling, family wage, weight, height and Body Mass Index - BMI). The second questionnaire comprised Quantitative Food Frequency (QFF) to evaluate consumption of wheat derivates. Data on weight and height were used to calculate BMI: weight(kg)/height(m)2, furnishing the nutrition state according to scale by WHO. Association between the intake of wheat derivates and demographic factors and nutritional state was performed by statistical analysis with Epi Info 7.2.0.1. Data underwent Mann-Whitney's test (p<0.05) to determine significance of results. Results showed high consumption rate in fast food by adults aged between 20 and 30 years, and in great amounts at all BMI scales. Pastry and pasta were the most wheat derivates consumed. There was no statistical significance when weight was compared with ingestion of wheat derivates.
