Abstract(s)
O consumo de sal em excesso contribui para a doença cardiovascular.
Em Portugal, a ingestão de sal excede os níveis recomendados pela Organização
Mundial de Saúde (OMS). O conhecimento e atitudes individuais
relacionados com o consumo de sal podem influenciar a quantidade
de sal consumida. Enquadrado num estudo-piloto em Health Impact
Assessment (HIA), este trabalho pretendeu observar o conhecimento e
atitudes de uma amostra de pais ou tutores de crianças em idade escolar
face à redução do teor de sal no pão, assim como potenciais alterações
nos hábitos de consumo, após a implementação de um Protocolo de
Colaboração para a redução gradual do teor de sal no pão, de âmbito
nacional. Para tal, foi elaborado um inquérito com recurso à plataforma
online RedCap, tendo sido disponibilizado um link de acesso para autopreenchimento
pelos pais/tutores de crianças e jovens em idade escolar,
residentes na zona de influência do Agrupamento de Centros de Saúde
(ACeS) Almada-Seixal. Os participantes foram recrutados através das
redes sociais. De 109 questionários preenchidos, 84 foram considerados
válidos. Os resultados mostram que a maioria dos respondentes estavam
despertos para que um excessivo consumo de sal aumenta o risco de
doença, nomeadamente a hipertensão. Menos marcada é a perceção da
quantidade/medida de sal recomendada pela OMS para o consumo diário
pela população e do contributo do pão para essa ingestão total diária.
Embora os respondentes manifestem ter conhecimento das medidas preconizadas
pelo Protocolo para a redução do teor de sal no pão, a forma
como avaliam o pão que consomem, em termos de sabor, não aponta
para uma sensação negativa. Em particular, os dados obtidos apontam
para a necessidade de promover e melhorar o conhecimento sobre as
recomendações de ingestão de sal e principais fontes de sal e dos seus
efeitos na saúde da população.

As part of a pilot study in Health Impact Assessment (HIA), this work aimed to observe the knowledge and attitudes of a sample of parents or guardians of school-age children towards the reduction of the salt content in bread, as well as potential changes in consumption habits promoted after the implementation of a Collaboration Protocol. To this end, a survey was conducted using the online platform RedCap. Subsequently, an access link was made available for self-completion by parents/guardians of children and young people of school age, living at the area of influence of the Grouping of Health Centers (ACeS) Almada-Seixal. Participants were recruited through social networks. Of 109 received surveys, 84 were considered valid. The results show that most of participants are aware that excessive salt consumption increase the risk of disease namely hypertension. Less explicit is the perception of the amount of salt recommended by the World Health Organization and the contribution of bread to this total daily salt intake. Although respondents say they are aware of the measures recommended by the Protocol to reduce the salt content in bread, the way they evaluate it, in terms of flavour, does not point to a negative feeling. In particular, the data obtained point to the need to promote and improve knowledge about the recommendations for salt intake and main sources of salt and their effects on the health of the population.
