title: [Adherence to the food guide for the Brazilian population].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze adherence to the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sample composed of participants in the Health Survey for Sao Paulo (n = 1,661) who completed two non-consecutive 24-hour recalls. A bivariate mixed model was created for the ratio of energy from a food group and total energy intake. The estimated ratio was used to calculate the percentage of individuals with intake above or below the recommendation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At least 80.0% of the individuals consume below the recommendation for milk and dairy; fruit and fresh juice; and cereals, tubers and roots; about 60.0% for vegetables; 30.0% for beans; and 8.0% for meat and eggs. Adolescents had the greatest inadequacy for vegetables (90.0%), and the highest income group had the lowest inadequacy for oils, fat and seeds (57.0%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intake of food groups related to increased risk of chronic diseases were found to be inadequate.
