Resumo: | Background: quality of life impairments are common in patients with epilepsy, especially due to cardiovascular comorbidities, overweight and obesity. Objectives: to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with epilepsy based on anthropometric measurements and dietary intake. Methods: this cross-sectional study involved 72 patients recruited by convenience from the Epilepsy Clinic of the Clinical Hospital of Porto Alegre, Brazil. The sample consisted of patients of both genders, aged over 18 years, who had been diagnosed with epilepsy for at least one year. The following variables were investigated: anthropometric measurements (weight and height for the assessment of BMI and nutritional status, waist circumference for the assessment of cardiovascular risk); nutritional intake based on a food frequency questionnaire; socioeconomic status based on the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria. Results: the prevalence of overweight/obesity was 66.7%, and 85.4% of the women had a high cardiovascular risk. Patients displayed a low frequency of seizure control (41.7%), high carbohydrate and protein intakes, as well as low mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid intakes (including omega 3 and 6 fatty acids). No differences in nutritional status or intake were observed between patients with controlled versus uncontrolled seizures. Conclusions: patients with epilepsy have comorbidities risks, as evidenced by their tendency to overweight and obesity, and abdominal obesity. Although seizure control did not appear to be related to nutritional status and intake, the presence of such comorbidities underscores the need for nutritional monitoring and intervention in these patients, with a special focus on macronutrient redistribution and on dietary fatty acid levels. |

Objetivos: evaluar el estado nutricional de los pacientes con epilepsia en base a mediciones antropométricas y la ingesta alimentaria. Métodos: este estudio transversal involucró a 72 pacientes reclutados por conveniencia en la Clínica de Epilepsia del Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brasil. La muestra consistió en pacientes de ambos sexos, mayores de 18 años, que habían sido diagnosticados de epilepsia durante al menos un año. Variables investigadas: medidas antropométricas (peso y talla para la evaluación del estado nutricional y el IMC, circunferencia de la cintura para la evaluación del riesgo cardiovascular); la ingesta nutricional en base a un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos; nivel socioeconómico basado en los Criterios de Clasificación Económica del Brasil. Resultados: la prevalencia de sobrepeso/obesidad fue del 66,7%, y el 85,4% de las mujeres tenían un alto riesgo cardiovascular. Los pacientes presentaron una baja frecuencia de control de las crisis (41,7%), alta ingesta de carbohidratos y proteínas, así como baja ingesta de ácidos grasos mono y poliinsaturados (incluyendo ácidos grasos omega 3 y 6). No se observaron diferencias en el estado nutricional ni el consumo entre los pacientes con convulsiones controlados o no controlados. Conclusiones: los pacientes con epilepsia tienen riesgos de comorbilidades, como se evidencia por su tendencia al sobrepeso/obesidad y obesidad abdominal. Aunque el control de las crisis no parece estar relacionado con el estado nutricional y la ingesta, la presencia de tales comorbilidades apunta la necesidad de vigilancia nutricional e intervención en estos pacientes, con un enfoque especial en la redistribución de macronutrientes y en los niveles de ácidos grasos en la dieta.application/pdfengNutricion hospitalaria.
