AbstractA cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluated and compare the dietary intake, kind of assistance (Basic Health Units - UBS and Family Health Strategies - ESF) and participation in the “Bolsa Família” Program (PBF) in users of Brazilian public health system, called “Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). The sample was composed by individuals 18 to 78 years, both sexes, in Porto Alegre, RS. We collected socioeconomic, clinical and food consumption data by a questionnaire adapted from national surveys SISVAN and VIGITEL. The analyses were performed with R 3.1 software. Of the 187 patients, 91 belonging to the ESF, 96 to UBS and 40 were registered in PBF. The healthy eating pattern was identified in only 41% of SUS users. We observed that 55% did not consume raw salad (37% p = 0.04) and vegetable consumption was lower among the BFP users (67.5% versus 75,9%; p = 0.02). There was no significant difference in food consumption considering the kind of assistance (ESF or UBS). The healthy consumption pattern was not associated with demographic and socioeconomic variables. The most of beneficiaries from the PBF has not demonstrated healthy eating pattern. Therefore, the effective promotion and health prevention are needed for this population, mainly among the beneficiaries of the PBF.
