An exploratory, cross-sectional and analytical study, with comparison groups, where the sample comprised women with central obesity (WC>84cm) 9 of ages over 19 years. The women of Adv Obes Weight Manag Control. 2018;8(4):236-241. 236 AbstractObjective: To estimate the consumption and prevalence of inadequate intake of micronutrients among women with central obesity of socioeconomic classes C/D/E versus A/B. Method:A cross-sectional study in which a structured questionnaire was answered containing socioeconomic data. The weight and waist circumference (WC) was measured and dietary intake assessed (24hR) in relation to habitual consumption (vitamins A, D,C, calcium and sodium). Dietary analyses were performed using the Nutwin software and statistical analysis on the SPSS 23.0.Results: There were 79 women with central obesity evaluated in each group (C/D/E vs. A/B), average age of 51.2±(12.2) vs. 49(14.4) years, WC 100.26 ± 11.34 vs. 98.2 ±9.8 cm. With reference to the consumption of nutrients calcium reached 100% of inadequacy for the total sample, independently of the socioeconomic class. When comparing prevalence of inadequacy among the groups, for women of classes C/D/E vs. A/B, emphasis is given to vitamin D (82.4 vs. 57.8), vitamin A (66.2% vs. 31.8%) and vitamin C (76.14% vs. 34.48%) (p<0.001). We highlight the excessive consumption of sodium in both groups, although in class C

Background: The relation between central obesity epidemic and food consumption strategies has drawn attention towards understanding its complexity. The aim of our study is to evaluate clinical and nutritional aspects of women with central obesity in Salvador, Bahia. Methods: The study was done in 89 adult women with waist circumference > 84 cm after individualized outpatient consultations for 48 months (2012-2015). Direct interviews were performed with the application of three R24h recalls to evaluation of food consumption in relation to macronutrients, fiber and energy. The biochemical variables were determined in the blood collected with a 12-h fasting period. Results: There was a significant reduction in the waistline circumference baseline and final values, associated to a reduction in body fat percentage and a significant increase in body water. A significant reduction was observed in the consumption of carbohydrates in parallel to an increase in the consumption of fibers and 55 times in the percentage of consumption of lipids, in addition to a significant reduction in the baseline and final values of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting glycemia and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Conclusions: It was observed that outpatient care with emphasis in the quality of the diet was capable of reducing anthropometric and clinical variables attributed to the development of illnesses associated with central obesity.
