Objective: To identify dietary patterns of residents of low-income households in Campinas-SP and their relationship with food security and demographic and socioeconomic conditions. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in 2011-2012, with 555 adult individuals. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and multiple linear regression were carried out. Results: EFA identified four dietary patterns. Both Pattern 1 composed of in natura/minimally processed foods, as well as Pattern 2 composed of ultra-processed/processed foods, had greater adherence by individuals with higher schooling and residents of food secure households. Pattern 1 was also more adhered to by women, elderly, and those with higher income and pattern 2 by younger adults. Greater adherence to the third pattern, characterized by a high-fat foods was observed, by men, young adults and those living in food insecurity. Pattern 4, consisting of bread and margarine, had greater adherence by young adults with high schooling. Conclusion: Both the healthier pattern, predominantly composed by in natura/ minimally processed foods, and the less healthy pattern, composed by processed and ultra-processed foods, were related to food secure households and people with higher schooling, highlighting the access to a greater variety of foods. The high-fat pattern was related to households in food insecurity.
