ABSTRACT

Objetivo: evaluar la calidad nutritional de la cena consumida por 105 turistas de la tercera edad hospedados en un hotel. Método: para la estandarización previa del peso medio de los alimentos consumidos fueron pesadas tres porciones de cada una de las opciones ofrecidas. El consumo alimentario fue verificado por la observación directa de las porciones servidas en el plato, convertidas posteriormente en gramos. En la evaluación de la composición nutritional de la comida, se consideraron los datos sobre valor energético, macronutrientes, grasa saturada, colesterol, sodio y fibra. Resultados: la mayoría de los turistas era de Argentina (88 por ciento), del sexo femenino (70 por ciento), con edades entre 60 y 84 años (85 por ciento). Se notó un alto consumo de energía (175 por ciento), grasas totales (235 por ciento), grasas saturadas (207 por ciento), colesterol (151 por ciento), proteína (170 por ciento) y sodio (133 por ciento). Se observó un consumo mayor de grasa saturada entre el sexo masculino. La ingestión fue adecuada para carbohidratos (102 por ciento) y fibras (98 por ciento).


Objective: To evaluate the nutritional quality of the meals consumed by 105 elderly tourists in a hotel. Method: To ensure the accuracy of the data, three portions of each option were collected and weighed. The three weights were then averaged to create a standard measure. The number of portions that each tourist took for their meal were recorded and later converted to grams using the standard measure. When evaluating the nutritional composition of the selected foods, calories, macronutrients, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and fiber content were all taken into consideration. Results: Most of the tourists were females (70 percent) from Argentina (88 percent) between the ages of 60 and 85 (85 percent). It was noted that the males consumed foods with a higher caloric content (175 percent of recommended amounts), total fat (235 percent), and saturated fat, cholesterol (151 percent), proteins (170 percent) and sodium (133 percent). The quantities of carbohydrates (102 percent) and fiber (98 percent) were appropriate to meet dietary needs.
