RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a associação entre padrão de consumo alimentar e gordura visceral materna. Métodos Estudo observacional realizado durante consulta pré-natal com gestantes de Porto Alegre, Brasil. O padrão de consumo alimentar gestacional foi estimado através de recordatório alimentar habitual, questionando sobre todos os alimentos consumidos em um dia de semana normal e suas respectivas quantidades. Os depósitos de gordura foram aferidos por ultrassonografia. A correlação entre variáveis simétrica foi avaliada por correlação de Pearson e a acorrelação entre variáveis assimétrica foi avaliada por correlação de Spearman. A associação entre as variáveis foi avaliada por regressão linear multivariada, sendo as variáveis com distribuição assimétricas transformadas em logarítimo. Resultados Foram incluídas 154 gestantes, com média da espessura da gordura visceral de 44,17 mm±15,03 e mediana do valor energético total diário de 2149,25 kcal [1676,53-3051,72]. Foi encontrada uma correlação positiva e significativa (p=0,049; r=0,165) entre a espessura da gordura visceral e o consumo de ingredientes culinários. Conclusão Os achados do presente estudo sugerem que o consumo de ingredientes culinários processados pode estar diretamente associado aos depósitos de gordura visceral em gestantes. materna prénatal pré natal Alegre Brasil habitual quantidades ultrassonografia Spearman multivariada logarítimo 15 4417 44 17 44,1 mm1503 mm 03 mm±15,0 214925 2149 25 2149,2 1676,533051,72. 167653305172 1676,53 3051,72 . 1676 53 3051 72 [1676,53-3051,72] p=0,049 p0049 p 0 049 (p=0,049 r=0,165 r0165 r 165 1 441 4 44, mm150 mm±15, 21492 214 2 2149, 533051 1676,533051,72 16765330517 167653 1676,5 305172 3051,7 167 5 305 7 [1676,53-3051,72 p=0,04 p004 04 (p=0,04 r=0,16 r016 16 mm15 mm±15 21 53305 1676,533051,7 1676533051 16765 1676, 30517 3051, 30 [1676,53-3051,7 p=0,0 p00 (p=0,0 r=0,1 r01 mm1 mm±1 5330 1676,533051, 167653305 3 [1676,53-3051, p=0, p0 (p=0, r=0, r0 mm± 533 1676,533051 16765330 [1676,53-3051 p=0 (p=0 r=0 1676,53305 1676533 [1676,53-305 p= (p= r= 1676,5330 [1676,53-30 (p 1676,533 [1676,53-3 [1676,53- [1676,53 [1676,5 [1676, [1676 [167 [16 [1 [
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the association between the pattern of dietary intake and visceral fat deposits. Methods This is an observational study with pregnant women during a prenatal appointment in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The gestational dietary intake was assessed using a usual food recall, questioning every food consumed on a usual weekday, and their respective amounts. Fat deposits were measured by ultrasonography. The correlation between symmetric variables was assessed using Pearson's correlation and the correlation between asymmetric variables was assessed using Spearman's correlation. The association between variables was assessed using multivariate linear regression, in which variables with asymmetric distribution were transformed into logarithms. Results A total of 154 pregnant women were included in the sample; the mean visceral fat thickness was 44.17 mm±15.03 and the median daily total energy intake was 2,149.25 kcal [1,676.53-3,051.72]. A significant positive correlation (r=0.165) was found between visceral fat thickness and the consumption of processed culinary ingredients (p=0.049). Conclusion Our findings suggest that the consumption of processed culinary ingredients may be positively associated with visceral fat deposits in pregnant women.
