RESUMO
Introducción: La Ataxia Espinocerebelosa tipo 2 (SCA2) es una enfermedad neurodegenerativa y hereditaria. No se ha realizado ningún estudio para la caracterización de la ingesta nutricional en pacientes cubanos con SCA2. Objetivo: Comprobar la reproducibilidad y fiabilidad del método de recordatorio de 24 horas para la evaluación de la ingesta nutricional en pacientes cubanos con SCA2, y obtener una caracterización preliminar de la misma en estos pacientes. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal con test-retest que incluyó 35 pacientes con diagnóstico de SCA2. Se empleó el cuestionario dietético de recordatorio de 24 horas incorporado al sistema CERES+. Resultados: Se obtuvieron correlaciones altamente significativas entre la primera y segunda mediciones para la ingesta estimada de energía, nutrientes y según grupos de alimentos. En la mayoría de los elementos relativos a la ingesta estimada de energía y nutrientes, y en todos los grupos de alimentos, se obtuvieron coeficientes de correlación intraclase (0,75. Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas entre pacientes de sexo masculino o femenino en cuanto a la ingesta de proteínas, carbohidratos, cobalamina, hierro, sodio y cinc. Se obtuvo un incremento en la ingesta de sodio y una disminución en la ingesta de ácido fólico y cobre, con respecto a las recomendaciones de ingesta nutricional diaria para la población cubana. Conclusiones: Se comprobó la elevada reproducibilidad y fiabilidad del cuestionario dietético recordatorio de 24 horas para la evaluación de la ingesta nutricional en pacientes con SCA2 y se logró una caracterización preliminar de la ingesta nutricional en estos pacientes(AU)
Introduction: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative and inherited disorder. No study has been conducted to characterize nutritional intake in Cuban SCA2 patients. Objective: To test the reproducibility and reliability of the 24-hour dietary recall method for the assessment of nutritional intake in Cuban patients with SCA2, as well as to obtain a preliminary characterization of nutritional intake in these patients. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional test-retest study was conducted on 35 SCA2 patients. The 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire in the CERES+ system was used. Results: Highly significant correlations between the first and second measurements were obtained for energy and nutrients intake, and according to food groups. Intraclass correlation coefficients higher than 0.75 were obtained for energy and most of the nutrients and according to food groups. Significant differences were obtained between male and female patients in terms of proteins, carbohydrates, cobalamin, iron, sodium, and zinc intake. An increase in sodium intake and a decrease in folic acid and copper intake were obtained. SCA2 patients showed increased sodium intake, and decreased folic acid and copper intake relative to nutritional intake recommendations for the Cuban population. Conclusions: The 24-hour recall dietary questionnaire is reproducible and reliable for the assessment of nutritional intake in SCA2 patients. Preliminary characterization of nutritional intake in SCA2 patients was obtained(AU)

La ingesta deficitaria es un factor determinante en la desnutrición infantil, un problema de salud pública frecuente en algunas zonas de Latinoamérica. Nuestro objetivo es valorar el desarrollo antropométrico, el consumo alimentario, la ingesta nutricional y su adecuación en escolares, según edad y género, de una zona rural de extrema pobreza de los Andes peruanosque ha recibido programas gubernamentales de ayuda alimentaria. Estudio descriptivo en 171 escolares de 8,9±1,67 años, 51,5% varones. El desarrollo antropométrico se valora mediante el Z-score IMC/edad, el consumo alimentario por la entrevista semiestructurada de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos y el método de Recuerdo de 24 horas, la ingesta nutricional con la tabla de composición de alimentos peruana y francesa (REGAL) y su adecuación mediante la probabilidad de ingesta inadecuada (PII). Presentan delgadez el 4,7%, sobrepeso el 8,8% y obesidad el 0,6%. El consumo alimentario y la ingesta nutricional no presentan diferencia entre géneros, ni grupos de edad (6-9 años y 10-12 años). La distribución porcentual de macronutrientes es equilibrada. La PII de energía y la mayoría de nutrientes es significativamente mayor en el grupo de 10-12 años que en el de 6-9 años.Lasvitaminas A, D, C, B3 y folatosson deficientes en ambos grupos; y el calcio, hierro, vitamina E y vitamina B1 en el de 10-12 años. En conclusión, los escolares presentan un peso adecuado en relación a su talla y edad probablemente debido a la alimentación aportada por las ayudas estatales alimentarias. Sin embargo al haber un escaso consumo de frutas, verduras y hortalizas,se refleja un riesgo nutricional de algunas vitaminas y minerales, mayor en el grupo de 10-12 años de más elevados requerimientosnutricionales(AU)
An insufficient intake contributes to child malnutrition, a common public health problem in some Latin America areas. Our objective is to assess the anthropometric development, the food consumption, the nutritional intake and its school children adequacy, according to age and gender, in anextremely poor rural area in the Peruvian Andes where governmental food assistance programs were given. Descriptive study based on 171 school children about 8,9±1,67years, 51,5% males. Anthropometrics characteristics are valuated through IBM/age Z-Score. Food consumption is assessed by semi structured interview frequency of food consumption anda 24-hour diet recall method. The nutritional intake is estimated with the Peruvian and French food composition tables. The adequacy nutritional intake is calculated by the inadequate intake probability (IIP). Evidences are about 4,7% of thinness, 8,8% overweight and 0,6% obesity. The food consumption and the nutritional intake are similar among gender and age groups (6-9 years old and 10-12 years old). There is an acceptable macronutrients distribution range. The IIP energy and most nutrients are significantly greater in the 10-12 group than in the 6-9 group. A deficient intake of vitamin A, D, C, B3, folate is observed in both groups and in Calcium, iron, vitamin E and B1 in the 10-12 group. In conclusion, students have an adequate weight for their height and age, maybe due to the state program of food aid. Nevertheless, there remains weak consumption of fruit and vegetables that is reflected in the nutritional risk of some vitamins and minerals, which is higher in the 10-12 years old group due their greater nutritional requirements(AU)

OBJECTIVE: We investigated vitamin D status, body size, nutritional intake and depression status in hypertensive patients in the north of Iran that have special dietary habit and lifestyle according to their culture and geographical situation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 127 patients with newly recognized hypertension and the 120 normal participants, in the north of Iran. Anthropometric data was measured and demographic characteristics, dietary intake, depression and medical status were collected by valid questionnaires. Blood samples were measured for 25-hydroxyvitamin D. RESULTS: Hypertensive patients had significantly lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D than control group (16±8.7ng/mL vs. 19.8±8.4ng/mL; P=0.04). In adjusted model, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D of less than 30ng/mL was associated with an almost 4-fold odds of hypertension. The odds of hypertension in depressed patients was 1.2 times higher than in those without depression (p=0.002). After adjusted logistic regression analysis for energy intake, significant association was observed between hypertension and some dietary nutrients, including cholesterol, fiber and vitamin D intake. There was no significant association between hypertension and body weight, waist circumference as well as BMI. CONCLUSION: The vitamin D status was lower in the most individuals and it causes a considerable increase in the risk of hypertension. Undesirable intake of some nutrients and depression also increase the risk of developing hypertension. Health training about suitable dietary habits, easier access to vitamin D supplementation and screening for depression in patients with hypertension are cost-effective tools to improve outcomes in Iran.
