OBJECTIVE: to describe the consumption of unhealthy foods considered risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) according to regional and sociodemographic characteristics of Brazilian adults. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional survey representative of the Brazilian population aged ≥18 years using 2013 National Health Survey data; consumption prevalences were calculated by gender, age and schooling; consumption indicators were meat with excess fat, whole milk, soft drinks and sweets. RESULTS: among the 60.202 respondents, the frequency of consumption of meat with excessfat was 37.2% (95%CI: 36.4-38.0), whole milk, 60.6% (95%CI: 59.8-61.4), regular consumption of soft drinks, 23.4% (95%CI: 22.7%-24.1), and regular consumption of candy and desserts, 21.7% (95%CI: 21.0-22.3); these factors were more common among men, young individuals and those with less schooling. CONCLUSION: Consumption of dietary risk factors for NCDs is high in the Brazilian population.
