SUMMARY:

The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the health-disease process of adults and elderly individuals from the perspective of nutrition based on the NOVA Food Classification methodology. This work is being developed through three articles. The first article is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design, aiming to describe food consumption using the NOVA Classification among the population of the Brazuca Natal Study and to investigate the association between food consumption according to NOVA and anthropometric nutritional status in adults and elderly residents of Natal. The study population consists of a subsample of 398 individuals with complete data on food consumption and anthropometric nutritional status. Data were collected between 2019-2020 through a structured interview based on the National Health Survey (PNS), using Epicollect5 software (for socioeconomic and nutritional status variables) and Globodiet (for food consumption). We analyzed consumption according to the NOVA classification into four groups: minimally processed or unprocessed foods (MP/UPF), culinary ingredients (CI), processed foods (PF), and ultra-processed foods (UPF), along with 34 subgroups, with their respective energy values. Energy consumption was 1936 kcal (SD: 593.4 kcal; 95% CI: 1877.0-1994.0), mostly from MP/UPF (55.70%); followed by UPF (19.20%). In the multiple analysis, we found a statistical association of BMI with MP/UPF consumption (p=0.049) and with UPF (p=0.045). When the outcome was waist circumference (WC), there was statistical significance with UPF (p=0.012). The second and third articles are being conducted following the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, aiming to analyze if there is an association between the type of food processing and cognitive decline and dementia in adults and elderly individuals. The second article, which is the systematic review protocol, has already been published and presents an initial bibliographic survey that partially addresses the guiding question. We concluded in the systematic review protocol that the nature, extent, and type of food processing have an impact on the risk and development of cognitive decline and dementia for all causes. Key studies show that UPF have a negative impact on this outcome, while MP/UPF contribute to an improvement in the condition and quality of life. The third and final article of this dissertation, the review, is in the development phase with projections for completion after the qualification examination.
