Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Despite greater access information and awareness about illness prevention and health promotion, the current Brazilian population health still is worrying. In this sense, this study has the purpose of evaluating the relations among anthropometric parameters, biochemical and lifestyle of individuals followed in a health outpatient from the central region of the RS state. It is a transversal, quantitative and descriptive study, conducted with adults and elderly patients in the year of 2018. The nutritional status was rated through anthropometric parameters, laboratory, and lifestyle. Fifty-seven individuals had participated in the study; the average age was 40.6 years ± 14,6 and 53.8% were women. As for the reason for the appointment, obese individuals intended to achieve weight reduction and eutrophic individuals to achieve dietary reeducation. There was a significant difference in the increase of fasting glucose levels (pre-diabetes) in the obese. There was also an increase in cardiovascular risk according to waist circumference and waist/height ratio in overweight and obese individuals. The circumference of the arm, on the other hand, was different in eutrophic individuals (muscle depletion) and in obese individuals (excess fat).Men had significantly lower values of high-density lipoprotein. Women, on the other hand, had a significant association with increased cardiovascular risk. With this study, a higher cardiovascular risk and biochemical markers were observed in this population of overweight and obese individuals. These findings reinforce the relevance of acting on lifestyle changes and on health profile for the prevention and treatment of metabolic complications in adults and elderly.
