ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study, in addition to confirming that therapy with 131I causes oxidative stress, was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with vitamins C and E and selenium on this phenomenon by measuring plasma 8-epi-PGF2a, a marker of lipid peroxidation. Subjects and methods Forty patients with thyroid cancer submitted to thyroidectomy, who received 3.7 GBq 131I after levothyroxine withdrawal, were selected; 20 patients did not receive (control group) and 20 patients received (intervention group) daily supplementation consisting of 2000 mg vitamin C, 1000 mg vitamin E and 400 µg selenium for 21 days before 131I. Plasma 8-epi-PGF2a was measured immediately before and 2 and 7 days after 131I. Results A significant increase in plasma 8-epi-PGF2a after 131I was observed in the two groups. The concentrations of 8-epi-PGF2α were significantly higher in the control group before and 2 and 7 days after 131I. The percentage of patients with elevated 8-epi-PGF2α was also significantly higher in the control group before and after 131I. Furthermore, the increase (percent) in 8-epi-PGF2α was significantly greater in the control group (average of 112.3% versus 56.3%). Only two patients (10%) reported side effects during supplementation. Conclusions Ablation with 131I causes oxidative stress which can be minimized by the use of antioxidants.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Identificar hábitos e práticas alimentares inadequados apresentados por hipertensos e diabéticos usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família, de Teixeiras (MG), visando ao desenvolvimento de estratégias de intervenção em saúde. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo de delineamento transversal, utiliza questionários semi-estruturados para entrevistar 10,3 por cento dos hipertensos e 15,0 por cento dos diabéticos, selecionados de forma probabilística e aleatória. RESULTADOS: Houve uma predominância de mulheres (74,4 por cento), de idosos (média=63,59, DP=13,12 anos) e de pessoas com baixa renda (mediana=0,5 salário-mínimo). Os hipertensos e os diabéticos apresentaram, respectivamente, pequeno fracionamento das refeições (mediana=3,0/4,0), elevado consumo per capita diário de açúcar (M=165,63g, DP=118,93 e 105,13g, DP=48,7), sal (M=22,63g, DP=22,26 e M=12,96g, DP=16,73), óleo (M=64,13mL, DP=38,09 e M=61,29mL, DP=35,57) e banha de porco (18,8 por cento e 13,3 por cento). Entretanto, 97,3 por cento e 96,7 por cento não adicionavam sal às preparações prontas, 72,5 por cento e 86 por cento utilizavam somente óleo vegetal para preparar as refeições e 15,4 por cento e 90,0 por cento utilizavam adoçante artificial. CONCLUSÃO: Estratégias de cuidado em saúde devem ser desenvolvidas para incentivar mudanças nestes hábitos, objetivando a prevenção e o controle das complicações relacionadas a estas morbidades.


OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify inappropriate dietary habits shown by hypertensive and diabetic patients registered in the Family Health Strategies Program, in the city of Teixeiras (MG), Brazil, aiming towards the development of health intervention strategies. METHODS: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, semi-structured questionnaires were used to interview 10.3 percent of the hypertensive and 15.0 percent of the diabetic patients, which were probabilistically and randomly selected. RESULTS: Most (74.4 percent) of these patients were older women (mean age of 63.59, SD=13.12 years) with low income (an average of 0.5 minimum wage). These hypertensive and diabetic patients had a small number of daily meals (mean=3.0/4.0) and consumed high amounts of sugar (M=165.63g, SD=118.93 and M=105.13g, SD=48.7), salt (M=22.63g, SD=22.26 and M=12.96g, SD=16.73), oil (M=60g, SD=43.23), and lard (18.8 percent and 13.3 percent) daily. However, 97.3 percent and 96.7 percent respectively did not add salt to the ready-to-eat preparations, 72.5 percent and 86 percent respectively used only vegetable oil to prepare their meals, and 15.4 percent and 90 percent respectively of the interviewed patients used artificial sweetener. CONCLUSION: Heath care strategies need to be developed to stimulate changes in these habits to prevent and control the complications related to these morbidities.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi traçar o perfil sociossanitário e estilo de vida da população hipertensa e/ou diabética do município de Teixeiras (MG). Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas nos domicílios de hipertensos e/ou diabéticos cadastrados no Programa de Saúde da Família de Teixeiras (MG), selecionados aleatoriamente. Foram entrevistados 150 hipertensos (10,33 por cento da população hipertensa) e 30 diabéticos (15 por cento da população diabética), havendo uma predominância de indivíduos idosos (idade média=63,59 + 13,12 anos), do sexo feminino (74,4 por cento), de baixa escolaridade (40,9 por cento de analfabetismo) e de baixa renda (mediana de 0,5 salário mínimo). O tratamento destas morbidades foi basicamente medicamentoso (96,6 por cento); houve uma elevada prevalência do sedentarismo (67,4 por cento). Além disso, houve um grande consumo per capita diário de açúcar (153g + 110,66g), sal (18g + 21,26g) e óleo (60g + 43,23g). Os resultados obtidos apontam para a importância de intervenções multiprofissionais, por meio do Programa de Saúde da Família, com o objetivo de promover a adoção de hábitos e estilos de vida saudáveis, prevenir complicações dessas doenças e proporcionar melhoria da qualidade de vida.

Em relação às complicações decorrentes das doenças, 33,33% dos diabéticos e 33,14% dos hipertensos as desconheciam. Quanto às formas de tratamento, 16,67% dos diabéticos e 10,86% dos hipertensos não souberam informar. Destaca-se a importância da implementação de estratégias de cuidado em saúde a estes grupos populacionais, voltadas à conscientização sanitária e aos fatores condicionantes e complicadores das enfermidades, visando a proporcionar uma educação em saúde mais efetiva, visto que a mudança de hábitos e a conscientização jamais se separam - toda transformação deve estar intimamente associada à tomada deconsciência da situação real vivida pelo sujeito. Para isto é necessário o comprometimento dos profissionais de saúde, visando a uma participação livre e crítica dos usuários, contribuindo para o empoderamento/libertação deste grupo populacional, questões essenciais para a viabilização de políticas de promoção da saúde e prevenção de agravos e controle de enfermidades.

It is a cross-sectional study, with semistructured questionnaires, interviewing 10.33% of the high bloodpressure and to 15% of the diabetic patients. Most patients were aged individuals, female, with low educational level and income. A total of 40.0% of the diabetic, and 69.14% of the high blood pressure patients could not define these diseases; 50% of the diabetic could not tell the cause and symptoms of their disease; 37.14% of the high blood pressure patients were unaware of the cause and 12.57% were unaware of their symptoms. In terms of the complications associated to their diseases, 33.14% of the diabetic and 33.33% of the high blood pressure patients were unaware of them. About 16.67% of the diabetic and 10.86% of the high blood pressure patients could not inform how to treat these diseases. It is important to implement health carestrategies for these population groups, aiming awareness of health, its conditioning factors, and factors that complicate the diseases, so as to have a more effective health education process, once the changes in habits and awareness should always together be side by side - every transformation should be closely associated to the awareness of the situation which the subject lives. The latter takes the commitment of the health care staff, aiming a free and critical participation of the users, contributing to the empowering/freedom of this population, essential to the development of health promotion policies, prevention of disorders and diseases control.
