dc.description.abstract | Objective: To describe the prevalence of fish consumption and its association with cardiovascu- lar risk factors and healthy behavior in Brazilian adolescents. Method: The authors investigated data from 71,533 participants of the Study of Cardiovas- cular Risk in Adolescents (Estudo de Riscos Cardiovasculares em Adolescentes - ERICA), a nationwide, cross-sectional, school-based study. Of these, 37,815 adolescents were included for blood analyses. All prevalence estimates were presented proportionally with their 95% confidence intervals. Bivariate relationships were evaluated with Pearson’s Chi-square test, and a multinomial logistic regression model was applied, considering p < 0.05. Results: Prevalence of fish consumption in the 7 days prior to the interview was 28.6% (95%CI 26.9-30.3), significantly higher among male adolescents (p = 0.0049), Asian descend- ants (p = 0.0270), private and rural school students (p < 0.001), and who resided in the Northern region (p < 0.001). A positive association between fish consumption and healthy behavior (breakfast consumption: OR=1.16; 95%CI 1.10-1.22; meals with family members: lunch: OR = 1.07; 95%CI 1.01-1.13; dinner: OR = 1.13; 95%CI 1.04-1.23; physical activity: OR = 1.14; 95%CI 1.02-1.28) and an inverse association with hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 0.84; 95%CI 0.730.98) remained significant even after adjustment for possible confounding factors. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that fish consumption was associated with lower cardio- vascular risk and may represent a marker of a healthy lifestyle in Brazilian adolescents. | |
