Resumo: | Introduction: Cancer has effects on body composition, often causing sarcopenia, which impacts on the functional capacity and prognosis of these patients, which may affect their quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the influence of body composition on the quality of life of patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in patients with gastrointestinal and lung cancer, in the chemotherapy service of the Hospital School of the Federal University of Pelotas. Body composition was estimated by bioelectrical impedance, performed with instrument BIA and quality of life was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 Instrument. Results: We evaluated 74 patients, the majority of whom were male (56.8 %). The most prevalent tumors were those in the gastrointestinal tract (75.4 %). Regarding body composition, it was found that 24.3% of the patients showed a deficit in muscle mass and none had excess adiposity. When analyzing the relationship between body composition and differing scales of quality of life, patients with muscle mass deficit had lower scores on the General Health scales / QOL and functional, and higher scores on the symptoms, demonstrating worse quality of life when compared to those without muscle mass deficit. Conclusion: Body composition was related significantly to the QOL of patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs, keeping the association between the deficit of muscle mass and worse QOL of these patients. |

Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia de la composición corporal en la calidad de vida de los pacientes con cáncer del tracto gastrointestinal y los pulmones. Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal en pacientes con cáncer gastrointestinal y pulmón, en el servicio de quimioterapia Hospital Escuela de la Universidad Federal de Pelotas. La composición corporal se calcula por impedancia bioeléctrica y la calidad de vida fue evaluada utilizando el instrumento Organización Europea para la Investigación y el Tratamiento del Cáncer Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida de 30. Resultados: Se evaluaron 74 pacientes, la mayoría del sexo masculino (56,8 %). El tamaño de los tumores eran los más prevalentes entre el tracto gastrointestinal (75,4 %). Se encontró en la composición corporal que el 24,3 % de los pacientes presentaron un déficit en la masa muscular y ninguno presentó exceso de adiposidad. Al analizar la relación entre la composición corporal y las diferentes escalas de calidad de vida, los pacientes con déficit de masa muscular tuvieron puntuaciones más bajas en la salud general de las escalas / CDV y funcional, y puntuaciones más altas en los síntomas, lo que demuestra peor calidad de vida en comparación con los que no tienen déficit de masa muscular. Conclusión: La composición corporal con déficit de masa muscular se relaciona significativamente con la peor Calidad de Vida en los pacientes con cáncer del tracto gastrointestinal y de pulmones.Introdução: O câncer tem reflexos na composição corporal, frequentemente causando sarcopenia, o que impacta na capacidade funcional e prognóstico dos doentes, podendo afetar sua qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência da composição corporal sobre a qualidade de vida de pacientes com câncer de trato gastrointestinal e de pulmão. Método: Estudo transversal com pacientes portadores de câncer gastrointestinal e de pulmão, no serviço de quimioterapia do Hospital Escola da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. A composição corporal foi estimada por meio da bioimpedância elétrica e da qualidade de vida por meio do instrumento European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer – Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30. Resultados: Foram avaliados 74 pacientes, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (56,8%). Os tumores mais prevalentes foram os de trato gastrointestinal (75,4%). Aproximadamente 24% dos pacientes apresentaram déficit de massa muscular e nenhum apresentou excesso de adiposidade. Na análise da relação entre composição corporal e as diferentes escalas de qualidade de vida, os pacientes com déficit de massa muscular apresentaram escores mais baixos nas escalas de Saúde Geral/QV e funcional, e maiores pontuações na escala de sintomas, demonstrando pior qualidade de vida quando comparados aqueles sem déficit de massa muscular. Conclusão: A composição corporal com déficit de massa magra se associou à pior Qualidade de Vida em pacientes com câncer de trato gastrointestinal e de pulmão.INCA2015-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/22410.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2015v61n4.224Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 61 No. 4 (2015): Oct./Nov./Dec.; 351-357Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 61 Núm. 4 (2015): oct./nov./dic.; 351-357Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 61 n. 4 (2015): out./nov./dez.; 351-3572176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/224/123Frio, Camila CondePretto, Alessandra Doumid BorgesGonzalez, Maria CristinaPastore, Carla Albericiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:08:17Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/224Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:08:17Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false |
