Anthropometric and dietetic evaluation of hypertensive outpatients from a university hospital
Keywords:
hypertension, nutritional status, nutrients consumption, obesity, anthropometryAbstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the nutritional status and the nutrients intake of hypertensive outpatients, aged 18 to 74 years old, from the Hospital das Clínicas – Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil. The sample, chosen at random, consisted of 156 individuals of both sexes (51 males and 105 females). The analyses showed a high prevalence of patients (73.1%) with weight above average and among them the hypertension was significantly associated with obesity (Body Mass Index ≥ 30 Kg/h2) and overweight (Body Mass Index ≥ 25 and < 30 Kg/h2) but not with centrally deposited body fat. Regarding the nutrients intake, the findings of this survey revealed a low caloric consumption that can not explain the high prevalence of overweight and obesity. In general, the average daily intake of nutrients was adequate, except for calcium. However, the daily consumption of sodium was very high, 270 and 260 mEq for men and women, respectively.
