Consumo de frutas e hortaliças e as condições de saúde de homens e mulheres atendidos na atenção primária à saúde

This cross-sectional study sought to analyze the associations between health conditions and the inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetables (FV) of 1,255 men and women attended in Primary Healthcare Units in Belo Horizonte (State of Minas Gerais). Data collection included FV consumption, socioeconomic status and health conditions. Results are presented by prevalence ratio (PR) with a confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%). A 77.5% (CI 95%: 75.1%-79.8%) of inadequacy of consumption (< 5 daily servings) was found and it was more prevalent among men (83.8%, CI 95%: 79.0%-88.5% than among women: 76.0%, CI 95%: 73.4%-78.6%). For women, the inadequate consumption of FV was higher among those with poor perception of health quality (PR: 1.37; CI 95%: 1.19-1.59) and among those who consider their dietary habits as being unhealthy (PR: 1.15; CI 95%: 1.07-1.24). For men, the inadequate consumption was higher between individuals that reported 2 to 4 visits to the doctor in the year prior to the interview (PR: 1.21; CI 95%: 1.06-1.21). The conclusions showed that the consumption of FV among the population under study is below the recommendations and the health conditions are associated differently for each gender.This cross-sectional study sought to analyze the associations between health conditions and the inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetables (FV) of 1,255 men and women attended in Primary Healthcare Units in Belo Horizonte (State of Minas Gerais).

Feeding profile of individuals with or without diabetes in a basic health unit of Belo Horizonte - MG

Introduction: the number of Brazilians with diabetes mellitus (DM) will nearly double over the next 20 years. Thus, it is important to promote life habits that prevent DM and its aggravations. To achieve these goals, identifying similarities and differences in eating habits of individuals with and without DM can help understanding how to deal with the disease, facilitating strategies for the development of adequate nutritional intervention, and understanding the relationship between diet and disease control. Objective: to verify that there are differences in feeding profiles of individuals with or without DM, within the framework of basic attention to health. Methodology: this was a cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted in partnership between the UFMG and the Belo Horizonte city hall. Data were collected on health conditions, eating habits, impression about own feeding, guidelines on healthy living habits, and which professional provided this information. Results: 388 users participated in this study being 47 DM patients. Similar food consumption was observed among individuals, regardless of the occurrence of DM. The doctor was recognized as the sole provider of guidelines by most individuals. In addition, approximately 70% of DM patients consider their feeding habits healthy. Conclusion: there are similarities in feeding consumption profiles regardless of DM. Thus, a challenge emerges because there is a need for better actions guiding these patients about healthy living habits, which must be constant, comprehensive, and easy to understand.
