Abstract

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are considered the biggest cause of mortality in the world, comprising 74% of deaths in Brazil. Between the most recurrent we can observe cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus type 2, arterial hypertension, obesity and others. These may arise from factors modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, high consumption of alcohol, smoking and inadequate nutrition, that is, factors linked to the individual's lifestyle. This one study aimed to analyze the nutritional profile of patients treated by the of Nutrition at the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS I) in the city of Cuité - PB. Data were collected from 81 medical records after applying the exclusion criteria, with records dated from 2016 to 2019 and covering patients of both sexes, aged 18 years or more. A socioeconomic analysis was carried out (average income, number of people live at home, marital status and occupation) and anthropometric measurements (BMI, WC, CQ and RCQ), performing data tabulation and statistical analysis with the help of Windows Microsoft Excel 2010 and PSPP software. The results found that from all variables analyzed between the groups (female and male), there was a difference statistically significant (p<0.05) only regarding age. The population analyzed in the study (n = 81) has mostly female patients (75.31%), this being understood mostly by adults. Although there is no statistical difference between the female and male groups, we can observe that the average BMI of both is close and comprise an overweight nutritional status, in which about the risks cardiovascular diseases and for metabolic diseases, a cardiovascular risk was found to be very high for WC and a high risk for metabolic diseases for WHR in the public feminine; in the male audience, there was no risk regarding WC, and according to the RCQ, the same presents low risk for metabolic diseases. On NCDs, between the adult population, 49.35% of patients did not have any NCDs, 29.87% were obese, 19.48% had systemic arterial hypertension and 12.99% had diabetes mellitus type 2. According to the percentage of returns, we can see that 44.44% of patients returned (83.33% women and 16.67% men) and 55.56% did not return, in which of the women who returned, 53.33% had CNCD and 66.67% of men. So, Based on the above, it is noticeable the need to search for strategies so that the individuals continue to seek health services more, especially men, where in this case, the nutrition clinics, as well as to consolidate the adhesion of the patients with nutritional care in order to provide more effective health care, with the development of more strategies for disease prevention, as well as for reversing the nutritional status and treating, in this regard, the CNCDs already presented by this population.
