Avaliação do estado nutricional de adultos e idosos e situação nutricional da população brasileira

Abstract: RESUMOAs alterações do estado nutricional (desnutrição e obesidade) são relacionadas com sérios agravos para a saúde. O presente trabalho de revisão da literatura tem por objetivo descrever os principais métodos de avaliação do estado nutricional, com finalidade de facilitar o diagnóstico dos problemas nutricionais e acompanhar intervenções dietoterápicas. Descreve o método clínico, detalha aspectos da antropometria e os exames laboratoriais utilizados em avaliação do estado nutricional. Relaciona alguns dos p… Show more

“…Malnutrition may be the result of increased losses or malabsorption due to the extent of the bowel portion affected by the disease, surgical resections, fistula or other factors that determine the functional or anatomical reduction of intestinal absorptive surface and/or acceleration of intestinal transit (8,26) . through anthropometric measurements and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are valuable tools to identify nutritional status due to its low cost and easy applicability (1,4,27) .It is worth noting that the gold standard method for assessing body composition is the Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), which allows direct and non-invasive measurement of bone mass, fat-free mass and fat mass. However, DEXA requires skilled personnel, has low affordability, high radiation exposure and it is considered a costly examination.…”

“…Entretanto, pode-se atribuir como outra possível causa o fato do IMC não ser um indicador preciso da adiposidade corporal 13,14 . Nesse sentido, torna-se necessário verificar a associação entre a insatisfação com a imagem corporal e outras medidas de estado nutricional, a exemplo do somatório de espessuras de dobras cutâneas, que, além de manter a praticidade e baixo custo, reflete com melhor exatidão a adiposidade corporal dos indivíduos 15 .…”

“…The nutritional habits of elderly patients is part of the preoperative evaluation, and there is no gold standard for the diagnosis of nutritional disorders [6], which reveals the need for research. The World Health Organization (WHO) [7] recognized Body Mass Index (BMI), or the Quetelet Index, as the international standard [8]; this parameter uses the patient's weight and height as diagnostic criteria: BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². BMI is used in most epidemiological studies as an indicator of nutritional habits due to its ease of use and its correlation with morbidity and mortality [9].…”
