Abstract
Background: Adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) is associated with reduced risks of various diseases, especially due to their nutrient, fiber, and bioactive compound content. Polyphenols are included in this last class. In Brazil, as in several other regions of the world, consumption of FV is low. Data on the importance of the recommended intake of FV for the ingestion of these compounds and subclasses are scarce.
Objective: To estimate the intake of polyphenols by Brazilian adults and to verify the impact of the recommended consumption of FV for this intake.
Methods: Data from 21,959 adults were obtained from the Brazilian Dairy Survey of the Household Budget Survey (POF 2008-2009). Food intake was estimated from a single food register. Polyphenol intake was calculated using the Phenol-Explorer database. To evaluate the impact of FV on the consumption of polyphenols, the population was divided into two groups according to the FV intake as recommended by the World Health Organization.
Results: The average consumption of phenolic compounds was 441.04 mg among individuals consuming less than 400 g of FV daily, and 651.86 mg those consuming equal or more than 400 g daily. In addition, individuals consuming 400 g or more FV per day consumed approximately 12 times more phenolic from FV, especially flavonoids and the anthocyanin and flavanone subclasses.
Conclusion: The high consumption of FV is essential for a higher dietary intake and diversity of polyphenols and flavonoids compounds by the Brazilian population.
Keywords: Dietary intake, flavonoids, fruits, lignans, phenolics acids, polyphenol intakes, stilbenes, vegetables.
