| Resumo: | Aging can lead to several biopsychosocial changes, which make elderly individuals
vulnerable to metabolic and nutritional disorders, such as zinc deficiency and
metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim of this study was to evaluate plasma zinc and the
correlation with metabolic markers and the frequency of MS in relation to the
associated factors in institutionalized elderly individuals. Cross-sectional study
involving elderly individuals enrolled in nine nursing homes (NH) was carried out. In
study 1, on plasma zinc and correlation with metabolic markers, 255 individuals
participated. It was evaluated the zinc plasma concentrations and the associations
with dietary zinc, as well as sociodemographic indicators and glycemic, lipid and
inflammatory profile biomarkers were evaluated. Independent variables were
analyzed according to quartiles of plasma zinc concentrations (µg/dL) (Q1: <71.1;
Q2: 71.1-83.3; Q3: <83.3-93.7; Q4: >93.7). The correlation between plasma zinc
concentration and predictor variables was also tested. In Q1, higher concentrations of
the following variables were observed, compared with those in other quartiles: total
cholesterol and LDL-c (Q1> Q2, Q3, Q4, all p <0.001); triacylglycerols (Q1> Q3, Q4,
all p <0.001); IL-6 (Q1> Q3, Q4, p = 0.024 and p = 0.010, respectively); and TNF-α
(Q1> Q3, p = 0.003). A significant reduction in plasma zinc concentrations was
observed with increasing age-adjusted institutionalization time (Δ= -0.10; CI95%: -
0.18,-0.01), and concentrations of total cholesterol (Δ= -0.19; CI95%:- 0.23,-0.15),
LDL-c (Δ= -0.19; CI95%: -0.23,-0.15), triacylglycerols (Δ= -0.11; CI95%: -0.16,-0.06),
IL-6 (Δ= -1.41; CI95%: -2.64,-0.18) and TNF-α (Δ= -1.04; CI95%: -1.71,-0.36). Thus,
data from the present study suggest that decreased plasma zinc concentration is
associated with longer institutionalization time, and changes in the lipid and
inflammatory profile in institutionalized elderly individuals. In study 2, on the MS
frequency and relationship with associated factors, 202 individuals were included. MS
frequency was assessed according to the criteria of the National Cholesterol
Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III. The association of MS with
sociodemographic, clinical, dietary and lifestyle factors was analyzed. MS frequency
was 29.2% (95% CI: 23.0-36.0%). Factors associated with MS were female sex
(prevalence ratio [PR] = 2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-4.49), institutionalization time adjusted for age> 50% (PR = 2.31, 95% CI, 1.46-3.88), and
high concentrations of IL-6 (RP = 2.01, 95% CI, 1.21-3.32) and TNF-α, 70, 95% CI, 1.05-2.77). In addition, it was found that the occurrence of MS was 1.85-fold higher
(95% CI, 1.11-3.10) in the group with diet characterized as of very high energy, very
low fat and high fiber intake, according to factorial analysis model. Thus, the results
point to a moderate MS frequency, which was associated with female sex, longer
age-adjusted institutionalization time, immunological changes, as well as a higher
dietary energy and fiber intake and a lower dietary total fat intake. |
