Abstract

In Mexico, the prevalence of obesity in the adult population is greater than 70 %, in particular the state of Veracruz has one of the highest prevalences of overweight and obesity. Sucrose intake contributes to these disease developments. As an alternative, Stevia rebaudiana (estevia) edulcorants have great acceptance. The design and validation of the surveys to colletct information about the stevia and its products is crucial to reduce errors in the data obtained. The aim of this work was to design and validate a survey regarding the use and consumption of stevia in the conurbated area of Veracruz-Boca del Río in Veracruz State. A survey with ten items was generated about consumption and general knowledge of population about the plant, its was validated by 18 experts of nutrition and food science experts that evaluated each item using a format focused in verifying validity and fiability. Finally, a performance test was carried out. 88 % of the respondants know about the properties attributed to stevia, 69 % has a diagnosed condition associated to sugar consumption and the mayority perceived an improvement associated to stevia consumption. A survey to know about the use and consumption of stevia was design, validated and tested.
