    (MDPI, 2022-05-30) Bustos-Arriagada, Edson; Etchegaray-Armijo, Karina; Liberona-Ortiz, Ángelo; Duarte-Silva, Lissette
    Infants and children are a risk group in terms of developing healthy habits, an important aspect if we consider that many of them were born during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our objective was to evaluate compliance with lifestyle recommendations proposed at the national and international levels in children aged 0 to 23 months during confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and 211 online questionnaires were completed with sociodemographic and lifestyle information of children. Our results show high compliance with the recommendations on breastfeeding intake (78.3% and 69.5% in 0–5-month-old and 6–23-month-old children, respectively); age of starting complementary feeding (87.4%); non-consumption of salt and sugar (80.1%), non-caloric sweeteners (90.7%), and sweet and salty snacks (68.9%); and hours of physical activity (66.8%) and sleep (65.4%). However, we observed low compliance with the recommendations on the age of introduction of dinner (58.0%), eggs (23.0%), legumes (39.2%), and fish (35.1%); low consumption of legumes (43.4%) and fish (20.5%); and low compliance with the recommendations on screen use during meals (59.2%) and daily screen hours (41.2%). In conclusion, feeding behavior, physical activity, use of screens, and hours of sleep in children were altered by confinement during the pandemic, harming the development of healthy lifestyles.

    (Sociedad Chilena de Nutrición, Bromatología y Toxicología, 2025-12-31) Bustos-Arriagada, Edson; López-Arana, Sandra; Duarte-Silva, Lissette; Castillo-Valenzuela, Oscar
    Introducción: El Observatorio Nutricional Nestlé –Universidad Finis Terrae surge como respuesta a la limitada información disponible sobre la alimentación, nutrición y estilos de vida en niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) chilenos. Objetivo: Describir las características del observatorio nutricional Nestlé-Finis Terrae y los principales hallazgos del período 2022-2024. Sujetos y métodos: A través de encuestas telefónicas estructuradas a personas adultas que se identifican como padres o madres de niños, niñas y adolescentes entre 2 y 15 años, residentes en Chile, se ha monitoreado desde el año 2022 el comportamiento alimentario y estilos de vida de padres, cuidadores y sus hijos. Resultados: Entre los principales hallazgos destaca una elevada percepción de alimentación equilibrada a nivel familiar, con valores relativamente estables entre 2022 y 2024: 57% (intervalo de confianza del 95%, IC 95%: 52,9–61,0) en 2022, 51% (IC 95%: 46,9–55,1) en 2023 y 56% (IC 95%: 51,9–60,0) en 2024. Se observó un aumento sostenido de la improvisación alimentaria, desde 51% en 2022 a 60% en 2024. La preocupación por los precios de los alimentos también creció, de 17% en 2023 a 25% en 2024. En 2023 se registró el mayor nivel de percepción de alergias e intolerancias no diagnosticadas (33%, IC 95%: 29,2–36,9). Además, se identificó una subestimación del estado nutricional real de los hijos y bajo cumplimiento de las recomendaciones sobre actividad física y uso de pantallas. Conclusión: El observatorio se caracteriza por una metodología estandarizada y la continuidad anual en la recolección de datos, lo que permite disponer de información consistente sobre percepciones en salud y nutrición infantil. Aunque el uso de datos autorreportados representa una limitación, los resultados obtenidos constituyen un insumo relevante para el diseño de políticas públicas y estrategias educativas orientadas a promover hábitos de vida más saludables en la infancia y adolescencia chilena. Introduction: The Nestlé–Universidad Finis Terrae Nutritional Observatory was created in response to the limited information available on the diet, nutrition, and lifestyles of Chilean children and adolescents. Objective: To describe the characteristics of the Nestlé–Finis Terrae Nutritional Observatory and the main findings from the 2022–2024 period. Subjects and methods: Since 2022, structured telephone surveys have been conducted with adults who identify as parents of children and adolescents aged 2 to 15 years, residing in Chile. These surveys monitor the eating behaviors and lifestyle habits of parents, caregivers, and their children. Results: One of the main findings was a high perception of balanced family nutrition, with relatively stable values across the years: 57% (95% confidence interval, CI 95%: 52.9–61.0) in 2022, 51% (CI 95%: 46.9–55.1) in 2023, and 56% (CI 95%: 51.9–60.0) in 2024. A steady increase in improvised eating was observed, rising from 51% in 2022 to 60% in 2024. Concern about food prices also grew, from 17% in 2023 to 25% in 2024. In 2023, the highest level of rerceived undiagnosed allergies and intolerances was recorded (33%, CI 95%: 29.2–36.9). Additionally, there was evidence of underestimation of children’s actual nutritional status and low adherence to recommendations regarding physical activity and screen time. Conclusion: The observatory is distinguished by its standardized methodology and annual data collection, providing consistent information on perceptions related to child health and nutrition. Although the use of self-reported data is a limitation, the findings offer valuable input for the development of public policies and educational strategies aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles among Chilean children and adolescents.
