Diet Quality and Diet Diversity in Eight Latin American Countries: Results from the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health (ELANS)

MDPI-Nutrients , 2019

  • ILSI Mesoamerica-EN

This study aimed to assess diet quality score (DQS), considering healthy and unhealthy foods and nutrients, and diet diversity score (DDS) as indicators of risk of noncommunicable diseases in eight Latin American countries, and to verify the possible differences considering country, sex, age, socioeconomic, and nutritional status. A multicenter household population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted with 9218 individuals (age range 15–65 years). Sociodemographic and anthropometric data were collected.

Dietary Diversity and Micronutrients Adequacy in Women of Childbearing Age: Results from ELANS Study

MDPI-Nutrients , 2020

  • ILSI Mesoamerica-EN

Dietary diversity, an important component of diet quality, is associated with an increased probability of adequate micronutrient intake. Women of childbearing age (WCA) are particularly vulnerable to micronutrient inadequacy. The Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) has been used widely as a proxy measurement of micronutrient adequacy. This study aimed to assess the association between MDD-W and nutrients adequacy among WCA of eight Latin American countries. Nutrient intakes from 3704 WCA were analyzed with two 24-hour dietary recalls.

Food habits of urban Costa Rican population

Acta Médica Costarricense, 2019

  • ILSI Mesoamerica-EN

It is known that bad eating habits contribute to the emergence of chronic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus, however, there is no updated information regarding the food of the urban population in Costa Rica. The objective of this study was to analyze the eating habits of the Costa Rican population included in the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health (ELANS). The study method included a sample of 798 participants between 15 and 65 years of the urban area of Costa Rica. The average daily food consumption and frequency per mealtime were determined according to sex, age group, and socioeconomic status.
