Abstract

Objective: To evaluate food intake of children aged six to twelve months and its relationship with maternal sociodemographic variables in the town of Arvorezinha, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Method: It is a cross-sectional study that analyzed children’s food intake on the day before data collection, through data from the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN) in 2008 and 2015, and maternal variables evaluated through a form completed by the respondents and interviews with the participating mothers. Results: There was high frequency of intake of savory food (95.31%), cereals (90.48%), fruits (87.30%) and vegetables (70.31%), and low frequency of intake of porridge with milk (32.81%), leafy vegetables (15.64%), sausages (7.94%) and liver (4.76%). The maternal variables age, right to maternity leave, receiving an alowance from the Bolsa Familia cash transfer program were associated with children’s food intake. Discussion: The results are similar to those of other published studies and are strongly related to the recommendations for healthy food intake by two-year-olds. Conclusion: the children in the present study have healthy food intake, especially at nine months, and maternal sociodemographic profile was related to children’s food intake.
