Índice Inflamatório Dietético: relação com o perfil nutricional, inflamatório e risco cardiovascular

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the relationships between dietary inflammatory index, nutritional, inflammatory status and cardiovascular risk; between food intake, cardiovascular risk and inflammatory profile and to verify whether eutrophic, overweight and obese women differ in terms of inflammatory parameters and cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional observational study conducted in the period of November 2018 and October 2019, at the Outpatient Clinic Policlínica Mais, located in the city of Gama, Federal District. The sample consisted of female patients. Sociodemographic and nutritional data were collected: weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were calculated and food intake was evaluated using the 24-hour recall. To assess cardiovascular risk, waist (WC) circumferences were measured and the waist-hip ratio was calculated. The inflammatory profile was evaluated by laboratory tests of ferritin and PCR-US. The IID calculation was performed by the authors at the University of South Carolina, United States. In the analysis of some variables, the sample was separated into two groups: eutrophic women and overweight/obese women.
