Nutritional status and food intake of patients with systemic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis associated.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the nutritional status and food intake of individuals with systemic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis associated. METHODS: This is an exploratory and cross-sectional study with 34 men aged between 19 and 60 years seen at a Psoriasis Center. Participants were divided into systemic psoriasis group and arthritic-systemic psoriasis associated group. For nutritional assessment we used anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis and whole-body plethysmography. Clinical and nutritional information were assessed using the clinical and nutritional history-taking, and the 24-hour dietary recall. For statistics the general linear model test (p < 0.05) was used. RESULTS: According to the body mass index 29.4% patients (n = 10) were eutrophic, 41.2% (n = 14) overweight and 29% (n = 10) obese. Almost all individuals (60%; n = 21) had body fat percentage above normal levels (> 25%) and a high risk for metabolic complications according to the waist circumference and the obesity index, however, there were no statistically significant differences between groups. The mean food intake, total fat, calories and protein were above recommended levels, being 58.8% for lipids (319.17 +/- 241.02 mg of cholesterol and 17.42 +/- 11.4 g saturated fatty acids); 29.4% for calories and 67.6% for proteins. Thus, regardless of the psoriasis type, an excessive consumption of calories, lipids, fatty acids, cholesterol and a higher incidence of overweight were found. CONCLUSION: The sample showed an abnormal nutritional condition, an increased risk for chronic diseases related to obesity, worsening of the psoriatic lesions, and poor quality of life.

Objetivo: Identificar o estado nutricional e o consumo alimentar de indivíduos com psoríase sistêmica e artropática associada. Métodos: Pesquisa exploratória e transversal, na qual avaliaram-se 34 homens, de 19 a 60 anos, atendidos em um Centro de Psoríase, separando-os em Grupo PS (com psoríase sistêmica) e Grupo PAS (com sistêmica mais artropática). A avaliação nutricional deu-se pelo emprego da antropometria; bioimpedância e plestimografia de corpo inteiro. Aspectos clínicos e nutricionais foram investigados pela anamnese clínica, nutricional e recordatório de 24 horas. Empregou-se o teste General Linear Model (p < 0,05) para avaliação estatística. Resultados: Segundo Índice de Massa Corporal, 29,4% (n = 10) apresentaram-se eutróficos; 41,2% (n = 14) com sobrepeso e 29% (n = 10) com obesidade. A maioria dos avaliados (60%; n = 21) apresentou valor da porcentagem de gordura (avaliada pela antropometria, bioimpedância e plestimografia de corpo inteiro) acima da normalidade (> 25%) e com risco alto para complicações metabólicas segundo CC e índice de obesidade, sem diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos. O consumo alimentar médio de lipídio, calorias e proteína apresentou-se acima do recomendado, sendo 58,8% para os lípides (319,17 ± 241,02 mg de colesterol e 17,42 ± 11,4 g de ácidos graxos saturados); 29,4% para as calorias e 67,6% para as proteínas. Assim, independentemente do tipo de psoríase, encontrou-se consumo excessivo de calorias, lípides, colesterol e ácidos graxos, além de maior ocorrência de excesso de peso. Conclusão: A amostra apresentou estado nutricional comprometido, aumento do risco para doenças crônicas relacionadas à obesidade, agravamento das lesões e má qualidade de vida.
