Resumo: | Introduction: Nutrition is a cornerstone of diabetes mellitus prevention and management; therefore, it is essential to enable patients to adopt healthy eating habits. Previous studies have not yet documented the main errors in the eating habits of Portuguese people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aims to identify the main errors in the eating habits of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Portugal and to evaluate its associations with sociodemographic variables. Methods: Cross-sectional multicentric study in a convenience sample of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Primary Health Care Units. The UK Diabetes and Diet Questionnaire (UKDDQ) – translated and adapted, was applied from July to October 2022. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted.Results: Of the 550 participants, 52.2% were female, 68.3% were 65 years or over, 55.8 % had an education level up to the fourth grade, 24.7% had economic deprivation, and the mean time since diagnosis was 10.60 ± 8.13 years. Only 36.2% of the sample had a healthy UKDDQ score. Less than 50% of the sample had healthy scores for the items “high-fiber rice or pasta”, “high-fiber bread”, “butter, margarine and vegetable oils” and “vegetables and pulses”. Only 8.9% of the sample had a healthy consumption of fiber. About 70.4% reported healthy scores for the consumption of “high-added-sugar foods” and 54.7% for “high-saturated fat”. A statistically significant weak positive correlation was found between the UKDDQ score and age (ρ = 0.201, p < 0.001) with a more frequent choice of healthy foods with increasing age. Female respondents reported healthier habits, particularly in the consumption of “high-saturated fat” and “high-fiber foods”.Conclusion: The majority of our sample did not take advantage of the potential benefits of healthy eating habits. The main food groups whose consumption should be emphasized or discouraged were individualized, particularly the need to encourage the consumption of high-fiber foods. Targeted educational actions must focus especially on younger and/or male patients. |

Ainda que existam alguns estudos nesta área, não se conhecem os principais erros nos hábitos alimentares das pessoas com diabetes em Portugal. Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar os principais erros nos hábitos alimentares das pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 em Portugal e avaliar a sua relação com variáveis sociodemográficas.Métodos: Estudo transversal multicêntrico, em amostra de conveniência de pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 seguidas em Unidades de Cuidados de Saúde Primários. Aplicação do UK Diabetes and Diet Questionnaire (UKDDQ) – traduzido e adaptado, de julho a outubro de 2022. Análise estatística descritiva e inferencial.Resultados: Amostra de 550 participantes, 52,2% do sexo feminino, 68,3% com 65 anos ou mais, 55,8% com nível de escolaridade igual ou inferior ao 1.º ciclo do ensino básico, 24,7% com insuficiência económica e tempo desde o diagnóstico médio de 10,60 ± 8,13 anos. Apenas 36,2% da amostra obteve um score UKDDQ considerado saudável. Menos de 50% obteve scores saudáveis para os itens “arroz ou massa ricos em fibras”, “pão integral”, “manteiga, margarina e óleos vegetais” e “vegetais e leguminosas”. Somente 8,9% da amostra obteve score saudável para o consumo de fibras. Cerca de 70,4% obteve score saudável para o consumo de açúcares livres e 54,7% para o consumo de ácidos gordos saturados. Verificou-se a existência de uma correlação com significado estatístico positiva fraca entre o score UKDDQ e a idade (ρ = 0,201, p < 0,001), com escolha mais frequente de alimentos saudáveis com o aumentar da idade. As pessoas do sexo feminino reportaram hábitos alimentares mais saudáveis, particularmente no consumo de fibras e ácidos gordos saturados.Conclusão: A maior parte da nossa amostra não usufruiu do potencial efeito positivo de uma alimentação saudável. Individualizam-se grupos de alimentos cujos consumos devem ser enfatizados ou desencorajados, particularmente, a necessidade de incentivar o consumo de alimentos ricos em fibra. Ações educacionais dirigidas devem ter especial foco em pessoas mais jovens e/ou do sexo masculino.Ordem dos Médicos2024-01-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19738Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 No. 1 (2024): January; 27-35Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 N.º 1 (2024): Janeiro; 27-351646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19738https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19738/15282https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19738/15279Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCorreia Rodriguez, BeatrizRosendo, InêsSantos Coelho, Tânia IsabelDuarte Mendes, Patríciados Santos Rodrigues, GabrielaFaustino Francisco, ÂngelaCerqueira Martins, Ana SofiaBoto, TâniaGuerra Fernandes, FilipeFigueiredo Costa, ÂngelaLamarão, CristinaMiguéis Ferreira, InêsAndrade Glória, JoanaVicente Osório, InêsCouto Gonçalves, Tiago DanielRosas Pereira, AndréAlmeida Guedes, Ana SaloméFernandes Mendes, CelinePires da Silva, SusanaCarvalhal, AfonsoVasconcelos Costa, PatríciaAlves dos Reis, Bruno2024-01-07T03:00:35Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/19738Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:30:40.987338Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
