Sharing meals with parents have been associated with better dietary patterns, however, most of the studies have been conducted with children (≤ 10yo) and in high-income countries. This study described the frequency of sharing meals with parents and their associations with adolescents’ dietary patterns. Cross-sectional population[1]based study with 93,036 Brazilian adolescents. Dietary patterns were assessed based on their intake frequency and classified as adequacy and moderate components. Moderate components were reversed score. Sharing meals with parents were categorised as daily, weekly and rarely/never. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used. A total of 73.47% reported sharing meals on daily basis. Adolescents who shared meals with parents on weekly (OR = 0.89; 95%CI 0.84, 0.93) and rarely (OR = 0.58; 95%CI 0.56, 0.61) vs. daily basis consumed less fruit and vegetables. Dairy (OR = 0.93; 95%CI 0.88, 0.99) and beans (OR = 0.78; 95%CI 0.74, 0.81) were less consumed on weekly basis. Cereals (OR = 0.89; 95%CI 0.89, 0.97), dairy (OR = 0.88; 95%CI 0.83, 0.93) and beans (OR = 0.62; 95%CI 0.60, 0.65) were less consumed on weekly basis. Sugar-sweetened beverages were not less consumed on daily vs. weekly (OR = 0.94; 95%CI 0.89, 0.98) and rarely (OR = 0.95; 95%CI 0.91, 0.99) basis. Alternatively, free sugars were more consumed on weekly basis (OR = 1.23; 95%CI 1.16, 1.31). Results suggests that adolescents’ dietary patterns when sharing meals needs attention for sugar-sweetened beverages, but fruits and vegetables and beans are consumed on daily basis.
