| Abstract (English): | The relationship between nutritional knowledge and the consumption frequency of preferred food-types was studied among one sample of Uruguayan consumers. A locally-adapted version of Parmenter & Wardle's General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire and a food consumption survey based on 39 food groups were completed by a total of 270 participants. Cluster Analysis enabled the identification of two clusters showing different levels of nutritional knowledge --cluster 1 (n = 177) and cluster 2 (n = 93), providing an average of 73.6% and 52.9% of correct answers, respectively. These clusters differed significantly (p ≤ 0.05) in age and educational distribution --cluster 1 was composed mainly by older adults and persons with a higher educational level. A number of areas were identified where nutritional knowledge was extremely poor, as was the case with the recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake and the caloric content of the nutrients. Overall, nutritional knowledge was found to have a positive influence on food preferences and consumption frequency, those participants with a higher nutritional knowledge reporting a higher consumption of fruits, vegetables and low-fat products, in addition to a lower consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El presente estudio investiga los conocimientos nutricionales de una muestra de la población de consumidores en Uruguay y su frecuencia de consumo de alimentos. 270 individuos completaron una adaptación local del General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire de Parmenter & Wardle y contestaron una encuesta sobre su frecuencia de consumo de 39 grupos de alimentos. Por medio de un Análisis de Conglomerados se identificaron 2 grupos de participantes con diferente nivel de conocimientos nutricionales: el clúster 1 (n = 177) y el clúster 2 (n = 93), quienes proporcionaron un valor promedio de 73.6% y 52.9% de respuestas correctas, respectivamente. Los grupos se diferenciaron en forma significativa (p ≤ 0.05) en su distribución por edad y nivel de educación, estando el clúster 1 compuesto principalmente por adultos mayores y con mayor nivel de estudios. Algunas áreas del conocimiento fueron extremadamente pobres, como ser el conocimiento sobre el número de porciones de frutas y verduras que se deberían consumir por día y el aporte calórico de los distintos nutrientes. En términos generales, los conocimientos nutricionales influyeron positivamente en la frecuencia de consumo de alimentos, dado que la población que presentó mayores conocimientos nutricionales declaró un mayor consumo de frutas y verduras y de alimentos de bajo tenor graso y un menor consumo de alimentos con alto contenido de grasas y azúcares.
