Resumo
A adoção de um padrão alimentar vegetariano tem aumentado ao longo dos anos. Em Portugal estima-se que 1.2% da população siga este padrão alimentar. Realizou-se um estudo transversal que incluiu uma amostra de 74 profissionais de nutrição com o objetivo de avaliar a posição dos mesmos face à dieta vegetariana (DV) em função do seu ano de formação (AF). 23 profissionais de nutrição formaram-se entre os anos de 1980 e 2009; e 51 entre os anos de 2010 e 2019. Observaram-se diferenças significativas quanto à possibilidade de manter uma DV ao longo da vida, onde 81.1% dos inquiridos consideram ser possível, sendo que a maioria pertencente ao grupo formado após 2009. Quanto à suplementação, 13% dos profissionais de nutrição formados até 2009 acreditam ser possível aderir à DV sem recorrer à suplementação, no entanto, a percentagem aumenta significativamente para 39.2% nos profissionais de nutrição formados após 2009. A percentagem de profissionais de nutrição que aprova a adesão de atletas à DV aumentou estatisticamente nos últimos anos, contudo, a maioria acredita que esta adesão apenas é possível mediante o uso de suplementos. A adesão à DV tem aumentado ao longo dos últimos anos, contudo a opinião dos profissionais de nutrição não é unanime quanto à sua segurança, eficácia e suplementação.

The adoption of a vegetarian diet increased over the years. In Portugal, is estimated that 1.2% of the population follows this food pattern. A cross-sectional study was carried out, including a final sample of 74 nutrition professionals to assess their position concerning the vegetarian diet (VD) according to their year of graduation (YG). The results analyses demonstrated that 23 nutrition professionals graduated between 1980 and 2009; and 51 between 2010 and 2019. There were statistically significant differences regarding the possibility of keeping a VD throughout life, since 81.1% of the participants consider it possible, most of them belonging to the group who graduated after 2009. As for supplements, 13% of the nutrition professionals who graduated until 2009 believe it possible to adhere to a VD without resorting to supplements, however, the percentage increases significantly to 39.2% in nutrition professionals trained after 2009. The percentage of nutrition professionals that approved the adherence of athletes to VD increased statistically in recent years, however, most believe this adherence is only possible with the use of supplements. Adherence to VD has increased over the past few years, however, the opinion of nutrition professionals is not unanimous regarding its safety, effectiveness in weight loss, and use of supplementation.
