ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the nutritional status of non-institutionali-zed elderly (NE) and their relationship with different socioeconomic conditions. Method: 300 NE residents of Metropolitan Lima from different socioeconomic levels were randomly selected. The nutritional status was determined using Body Mass Index (BMI) and brachial perimeter. The NE was classified according to BMI: normal from 22 to 27, overweight from 27.1 to 29.9 and obesity ≥ 30 kg/m2. The dietary intake was evaluated with a reminder survey of 24 hours. Results: The prevalence of overweight was 48.3 % (26% overweight and 22.3% obese) without significant differences between socioeconomic levels (SS) (p=0.088). Greater obesity in women than in men was observed with significant differences between SS (p=0.030). The highest prevalence of obesity was observed in females of SS medium (32%). The SS significantly influenced lipid consumption, vitamin C and calcium. The consumption of energy, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, iron and phosphorus, did not differ significantly with SS. Conclusions: The nutritional status and nutrient intake of NE showed no relation with socioeconomic level.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: Determinar el estado nutricional de adultos mayores (AM) no institucionalizados y su relación con condiciones socioeconómicas diferenciadas. Metodología: Se seleccionaron aleatoriamente 300 AM residentes en viviendas de Lima Metropolitana, de diferentes estratos socioeconómicos, con afijación uniforme. El estado nutricional se determinó con el Indice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y el Perímetro Braquial. Los AM se clasificaron según el IMC: en normal de 22 a 27, sobrepeso de 27,1 a 29,9 y obesidad ≥30 Kg/m². La ingestión dietética se evaluó con una encuesta de recordatorio de 24 horas. Resultados: La prevalencia de exceso de peso fue 48% (26% tenía sobrepeso y 22,3 % eran obesos) sin diferencias significativas entre niveles socioeconómicos (NSE) (p=0,088). Se reportó mayor obesidad en mujeres y con diferencias significativas entre NSE (p=0,030). La mayor prevalencia de obesidad se observó en población de mujeres del NSE medio (32 %). El NSE influyó significativamente en el consumo de lípidos, vitamina C y calcio. El consumo de energía, proteínas, carbohidratos, fibra, hierro y fósforo, no difieren significativamente con el NSE. Conclusiones: El estado nutricional y el consumo de nutrientes de los AM no mostraron relación con el NSE.
