RESUMO:

The consumption of ultra-processed foods is increasingly earlier, which poses a greater risk for the development of several chronic non-communicable diseases, so the objective of this study was to evaluate the introduction of ultra-processed foods in the diet of children under two years of age and their associated factors. . The work was constructed in two parts, the first consisting of the theoretical framework and the second the field research. For field research, a quantitative cross-sectional study was used as a methodology, carried out with mothers or caregivers of children under 2 years old, monitored in basic health units that have multi-professional residences located in the city of Mossoró/RN. Data collection was carried out on childcare and vaccination days, where socioeconomic and demographic questionnaires were applied to the family with some questions regarding the consumption of ultra-processed foods and another questionnaire on the child's food consumption, through which the child's presence of consumption of ultra-processed foods and its association with socioeconomic and demographic characteristics through poison regression. Our sample was made up of 293 mothers or caregivers, of which 97.3% were female, among the children 52.2% were also female, with an average age of 7.1 months. 53.7% of children under 6 months were on exclusive breastfeeding and 30.5 were on formula, 67.1% of children over 6 months and under 2 years were on continued breastfeeding and 30.2% of them consumed porridge in the day before the survey. A prevalence of 37.8% of consumption of ultra-processed foods was identified, and the factors associated with this consumption were lower maternal education, receiving financial assistance, receiving guidance on complementary foods and the child's older age. These findings highlight the early introduction of ultra-processed foods in children under 2 years of age, a practice not recommended for this age group. It was possible to contribute to knowledge about the factors associated with this early introduction and thus provide data for the formulation of public policies to strengthen breastfeeding and adequate complementary feeding.
