O programa de intervenção comunitária Eat Mediterranean: a program for
eliminating dietary inequality in schools (EM), promovido pela Administração
Regional de Saúde de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, teve como objetivo contribuir
para a redução das desigualdades nutricionais em meio escolar, através
da promoção da Dieta Mediterrânica enquanto estilo de vida saudável e
com um padrão alimentar mediterrânico. O presente artigo refere-se à
avaliação da composição nutricional das refeições escolares, antes e após
intervenção deste programa, relativamente às recomendações nutricionais
estabelecidas para a população em estudo. Na fase de diagnóstico as refeições
avaliadas apresentaram um desvio negativo, para os teores de energia
e hidratos de carbono para os grupos 6-10 e 16-21 anos (com e sem pão
nas refeições), mantendo-se esta tendência para as outras faixas etárias,
particularmente para as refeições sem pão. Em contraste, com exceção da
faixa etária dos 16-21, observaram-se desvios tendencialmente positivos
para os teores de proteína, relativamente às recomendações nutricionais
estabelecidas para a população em estudo. Os teores de sal apresentaram
desvios diferentes para as diferentes faixas etárias, sendo estes superiores
a 40% para a faixa etária dos 2-5, quando comparados com o valor da dose
diária recomendada. Na fase pós-intervenção, conseguiram-se melhorias
significativas nos teores de energia e hidratos de carbono para as faixas
etárias dos 2-5 e 6-10 ano, nos valores de proteína manteve-se o desvio
positivo e, no teor de sal, observou-se uma redução nos desvios obtidos
para todas as faixas etárias. Quanto ao valor de gordura esteve sempre
dentro dos intervalos de referência, na fase de diagnóstico e intervenção. O
programa EM demonstrou ter um impacto positivo na qualidade nutricional
das refeições escolares disponibilizadas, embora os aspetos relacionados
com a redução do teor de sal, a oferta de quantidades adequadas de proteína
e hidratos de carbono, bem como a porção servida à respetiva faixa
etária, precisem de ser acompanhados, ajustados e reavaliados
eliminating dietar y inequality in schools (EM), promoted by the Por tuguese Regional Health Administration of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, aimed to contribute to the reduction of nutritional inequalities in the school environment through the promotion of the Mediterranean Diet, an healthy lifestyle with a mediterranean food pattern. The present study addresses the evaluation of the nutritional composition of school meals, before and af ter the inter vention of the EM, considering the nutritional recommendations set out for the population under study and/or the value of the recommended daily allowance, for the respective age group. In the diagnostic phase, the evaluated meals showed a negative deviation for total energy and for the carbohydrate content, for the groups 6-10 and 16-21 ages (with and without bread), being this trend maintained for the remaining age ranges, par ticularly for meals without bread. In contrast, with the exception of the age group of 16-21, protein content presented tendentially positive deviations, as compared with the nutritional recommendations set out for the population under study. Regarding salt content, dif ferent deviations were obser ved among the studied age groups being these deviations higher than 40% for the age group of 2-5, as compared with the value of the recommended daily allowance, for the respective age group. In the post-inter vention phase, corrections were achieved for total energy and carbohydrate content par ticularly for the age groups of 2-5 e 6-10, for protein values, the positive deviation was still registered and the salt content decreased for all age groups. The fat content was always within the reference inter vals, in the diagnosis and inter vention phase. The EM program has proved to have an overall positive impact on the nutritional quality of the school meals provided. However, the reduction of salt content, the provision of adequate amounts of protein as well as the adjustment of the por tion ser ved to the respective age group should be reinforced, adjusted and monitored.
