PEREIRA ALVES, Ana Gabriella; ASSIS CARVALHO CRUVINEL, Beatriz; SEBASTIANA SILVA, Maria and SILVA REBELO, Ana Cristina. ASSOCIATION BETWEEN FOOD INTAKE AND ANTHROPOMETRIC AND METABOLIC PROFILE OF BRAZILIAN ADULT WOMEN. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, pp.145-153. ISSN 1817-7433.
Introduction: Alterations in the lipid, glycemic and hemodynamic profile may increase the risk of developing chronic diseases and mortality. Objective: Associate the metabolic and anthropometric parameters and food intake of Brazilian adult women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 34 Brazilian women aged 20-59 years old.Alcohol consumption, smoking, physical exercise, blood pressure, anthropometric and food intake data were collected. Glycated hemoglobin and lipid fractions were also evaluated. Results: There was a positive association between energy consumption and body mass (ß= 0.377, p = 0.028) and waist circumference (ß = 0.373, p = 0.030), and between protein intake and body fat percentage (ß = 0.368, p = 0.032). There was also a positive association between waist circumference and the values of glycated hemoglobin (ß = 0.401, p = 0.019), and HDL-cholesterol was influenced directly by protein intake (ß = 0.573, p = 0.013) and inversely by lipid intake (ß = -0.597, p = 0.010). Conclusion: Anthropometry, metabolic profile and food intake were associated among the Brazilian adult women evaluated.
