RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Avaliar estado nutricional e risco cardiovascular de executivos.

MÉTODOS:

Estudo transversal. Foram avaliados 329 executivos de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 31 e 70 anos, submetidos a check-up de saúde em hospital privado do município de São Paulo. Foram mensuradas as variáveis referentes a peso, estatura e circunferência da cintura (CC) e determinado o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Foram analisados pressão arterial, níveis séricos de colesterol total e frações, triacilglicerol, glicose e ácido úrico. Prática habitual de atividade física foi avaliada por meio do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e o risco cardiovascular pelo Escore de Framingham. A análise de variância e o método de Bonferroni foram utilizados para o tratamento estatístico.

RESULTADOS:

Média de idade foi 44,6 anos (DP=6,8), predominando o gênero masculino (89,7 por cento). Quanto ao estilo de vida, 17 por cento eram tabagistas e 7,3 por cento sedentários. Os resultados médios encontrados para os exames clínicos e bioquímicos foram pressão arterial 117,8 x 78,6 mmHg (DP=12 x 8,3), colesterol total 200,5 mg/dL (DP=35,9), LDL-c 121,8 mg/dL (DP=29,9), HDL-c 52,2 mg/dL (DP=10,9), triacilglicerol 133,7 mg/dL (DP=76,8), glicose 96,3 mg/dL (DP=20,5) e ácido úrico 6,0 e 4,2 mg/dL (DP=1,0 e 0,9) para homens e mulheres, respectivamente. O IMC médio foi de excesso de peso (26,1kg/m²; DP=6,8). A CC média estava normal entre as mulheres (79,6cm; DP=7,3) e indicou risco elevado para doenças crônicas entre os homens (96,1cm; DP=8,9). O Risco de Framingham médio foi de 5,7 por cento.

CONCLUSÃO:

Os executivos estavam com excesso de peso e apresentaram baixo risco cardiovascular.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the nutritional status and cardiovascular risk among executives.

METHODS:

In a cross-sectional study. 329 executives of both genders, aged 31 to70 years, were evaluated during a health check-up in a private hospital in the city of São Paulo. The variables related to weight, height and waist circumference were measured and Body Mass Index - BMI (kg/m²) was determined. Blood pressure and serum levels of total cholesterol and fractions, triacylglycerol, glucose and uric acid were analyzed. Physical activity was evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and cardiovascular risk was estimated by the Framingham Scoring. The variance analysis and the Bonferroni methods were used for statistical treatment.

RESULTS:

The mean age was 44.6 (SD=6.8), with the male gender predominating (89.7 percent). As for lifestyle, 17 percent were tobacco smokers and 7.3 percent sedentary. The mean values found in the clinical and biochemical exams were the following blood pressure of 117 x 78.6 mmHg (SD=12x8.3), total cholesterol of 200.5 mg/dL (SD=35.9), LDL-c of 121.8 mg/dL (SD=29.9), HDL-c of 52.2 mg/dL (SD= 10.9), triacylglycerol of 133.7 mg/dL (SD=76.8), glucose of 96.3 mg/dL (SD=20.5) and uric acid 4.2 and 6.0 mg/dL (SD=1.0 and 0.9) for men and women respectively. The BMI mean for all executives was classified as overweight (26.1kg/m²; SD=6.8). Waist circumference was normal in women (79.6cm; SD=7.3) and indicated a high risk level of chronic disease for the men (96.1cm; SD=8.9). The average Framingham Risk was 5.7 percent.

CONCLUSION:

The executives were overweight and presented low cardiovascular risk, according to the Framingham Scoring.
