Resumo: | IntroductionThirty-seven elderly citizens, deficient in vitamin C and institutionalized in the city of João Pessoa/Paraíba/Brazil, were studied with the objective of investigating the period of vitamin C supplementation necessary to normalize their blood serum levels. MethodsThe study also compared the efficiency of the natural vitamin, supplied in the form of West Indian cherry juice, (Malpighia glabra L.) to that of the pharmaceutical product (tablets). The aged citizens were divided into 3 groups: Group I – control, Group II – supplemented with West Indian cherry juice, and Group III – supplemented with tablets. The methodology applied consisted of dosing the serum vitamin C levels and making a dietary enquiry to determine food consumption. ResultsA significant increase (p<0.05) in the mean serum ascorbic acid levels was shown after 10 (1.27±0.41mg/dL), 20 (1.69±0.45mg/dL) and 30 (1.55±0.42mg/dL) days of supplementation, as compared to the initial values (0.38±0.28mg/dL). On the 10th day of supplementation, those supplemented with West Indian cherry juice showed levels significantly higher (1.41±0.43mg/dL) than those supplemented with tablets (1.03±0.25mg/dL). ConclusionOn the 20th day, the supplementation had satisfactorily normalized the blood serum levels of the institutionalized aged citizens. Therefore, this amount of time could be considered as the necessary supplementation period for the aged in general. Moreover, especially, for those who live in institutions with limited resources, West Indian cherry juice should be the supplement of choice, since it is a natural and affordable product. |

MétodosForam estudados 37 idosos institucionalizados do município de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil, divididos em 3 grupos: Grupo I - controle, Grupo II - suplementação com o suco de acerola e Grupo III – suplementação com fármaco. A metodologia empregada consistiu na dosagem sérica de ácido ascórbico e na verificação do consumo alimentar por inquérito dietético. Constatou-se um aumento significativo (p<0,05) nas médias dos níveis séricos de ácido ascórbico, após 10 dias (1,27±0,41mg/dL), 20 (1,69±0,45mg/dL) e 30 dias (1,55±0,42mg/dL) de suplementação aos valores iniciais (0,38±0,28mg/dL). No 10º dia de suplementação, os idosos suplementados com suco de acerola apresentaram níveis significativamente mais elevados (1,41±0,43mg/dL) do que aqueles que foram suplementados com comprimidos (1,03±0,25mg/dL). ConclusãoConsiderando-se que, no 20º dia, o efeito da suplementação foi satisfatório para a normalização dos níveis séricos daqueles indivíduos, esse tempo poderia ser utilizado para idosos em geral e, em especial, para aqueles que vivem em instituições destinadas a idosos carentes, sendo o suco de acerola um suplemento indicado por ser um produto natural e de fácil aquisição.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9193Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 17 No. 3 (2004): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 17 Núm. 3 (2004): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 17 n. 3 (2004): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9193/6576Copyright (c) 2023 Flávia Queiroga ARANHA, Luiza Sônia Asciutti MOURA, Mônica Oliveira da Silva SIMÕES, Zianne Farias BARROS, Ivana Versianny Lira QUIRINO4 Versianny Lira QUIRINO, Juliana Cavalcanti METRI, Jefferson Carneiro de BARROShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessQueiroga ARANHA, FláviaAsciutti MOURA, Luiza Sônia Oliveira da Silva SIMÕES, Mônica Farias BARROS, Zianne Versianny Lira QUIRINO, Ivana Versianny Lira QUIRINO4Cavalcanti METRI, Juliana Carneiro de BARROS, Jefferson 2023-08-11T19:40:12Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9193Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-11T19:40:12Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
