Abstract

To study the feeding of a population with participation in the identification of public health problems and especially to the knowledge of many professionals in the field, because in Brazil and worldwide researches see a direct relationship with the increase of non-communicable chronic diseases (DCNT) and a high intake of ultra-processed foods, when compared, to minimally processed or fresh food groups (fruits, vegetables and flv-greens). No similar research has yet been conducted on food intake and macronutrient intake in the current population of Dourados, MS, and the region, this is a pioneering study that will contribute data for new users. The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the macronutrient intake of adults in the city of Dourados, to know how this population's diet is and which macronutrients may be interfering with their health. Cross- sectional study, which used data from an adjacent research project with representative sample (n = 984) of individuals aged 20 to 59 years of both sexes, collected using groups from IBGE clusters, 2010. Data collection was performed. Using the application of two R24h in a subsample (n = 148) to calculate the fraction of intra and interpersonal variation of individuals, statistical method performed by the ANOVA test, accelerating the most accurate intake data. The adult population of Dourados has an increased intake of energy and fat, similar data in other states of the country, a low consumption of fiber, ie in FLV. Noting in this population an inadequate and unbalanced diet, it is possible to contribute to the increase of DCNT.
