RESUMEN
Resumen En 2012 y 2013, se desarrolló en la Escuela de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales (ECEN) de la Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) un Proyecto de Atención y Educación Nutricional (PATENU), para funcionarios con el propósito de realizar modificaciones en sus hábitos alimentarios y prevenir enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT). Esta iniciativa surgió de los resultados de una Feria de la Salud realizada en octubre 2011, donde 60% de los participantes presentaron problemas de mal nutrición. Se recolectó la información mediante entrevistas y mediciones antropométricas durante las consultas de seguimiento. En total, participaron en PATENU 69 personas, 55% con sobrepeso u obesidad. 37% de los participantes, realizaron cambios en sus hábitos de alimentación, reduciendo 10% del sobrepeso. Se concluye que las intervenciones nutricionales de corto tiempo, producen resultados positivos.
