Dietary Patterns in Portuguese Children and Adolescent Population: The UPPER Project

Considering the nature, extent, and purpose of food processing, this study aims to identify dietary patterns (DPs) and their associations with sociodemographic factors and diet quality in Portuguese children and adolescents. Cross-sectional data were obtained from the National Food, Nutrition and Ph...

Cross-sectional data were obtained from the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (2015–2016) of the Portuguese population.

Linear regressions adjusted by sociodemographic characteristics tested associations of DPs with diet quality. DPs identified were: “Unhealthy” (higher sugar-sweetened beverages, industrial breads, and sausages intake), “Traditional” (higher vegetables, fish, olive oil, breads, ultra-processed yogurts, and sausages intake), and “Dairy” (higher intake of milk, yogurt, and milk-based beverages). “Unhealthy” was associated with older ages and lower intake of dietary fibre and vitamins and the highest free sugars and ultra-processed foods (UPF), although all DPs presented significant consumption of UPF. These findings should be considered for the design of food-based interventions and school-feeding policies in Portugal.Milena Miranda de MoraesBruno OliveiraCláudia AfonsoCristina SantosDuarte TorresCarla LopesRenata Costa de MirandaFernanda RauberLuiza AntoniazziRenata Bertazzi LevySara RodriguesMDPI AGarticledietary patternslatent class analysisultra-processed foodsdiet qualityfeeding behaviourNutrition.
