Resumen

DHO, María Silvina. CARIOGENIC FOOD CONSUMPTION IN ADULTS IN THE CITY OF CORRIENTES, ARGENTINA. Hacia promoc. Salud [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.2, pp.90-101. ISSN 0121-7577.  https://doi.org/10.17151/hpsal.2015.20.2.7.

Objetive: To describe the knowledge on the cariogenic potential of certain foods, to analyze frequency and moment of ingestion, and to compare consumption of cariogenic food in groups with different socio-economic levels. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study. Information concerning the study variables was collected through an in-home survey in the city of Corrientes, Argentina in 2013. The sample size was established with a 95% confidence level (381 adults between 35-44 years). A simple random sampling design was applied, which was complemented with a non-probability quota sampling. Results: Most survey respondents can differentiate cariogenic from non-cariogenic food. Daily frequency of consumption was significantly associated to the moment of ingestion (between meals). In groups with different socio-economic levels no statistically significant differences were found. Conclusion: Although most of the population in this study can differentiate cariogenic from non-cariogenic food, their daily consumption is high, specially "between main meals" when the cariogenic potential is higher.
