| Resumo: | People with visual impairment are more predisposed to the development of noncommunicable chronic diseases due to poor diet, and should deserve special attention
for the difficulties they encounter daily in order to eat healthy. In this context, the
present study investigated which difficulties related to eating influence the
antopometric nutritional status of people with visual impairment. Methodology: This is
an observational, cross-sectional research, developed with different degrees of visual
impairment attending institutions supporting people with this disability in Natal, Rio
Grande do Norte, Brazil. Anthropometric measurements were collected to assess BMI,
waist circumference and body fat percentage to assess the antopometric nutritional
status of the participants. Statistical analyzes were performed using the SPSS version
20.0 statistical package, using the Chi-square test. Results: Among the evaluated
subjects 58.8% were overweight (44.3% overweight and 14.4% obese) and 80.5% had
excess body fat. It was also found that 44.9% had a risk for metabolic complications
associated with central obesity due to the high waist circumference. Body mass index,
waist circumference and fat percentage were associated with feeding difficulties
In this study, visually impaired people with less difficulty in performing food-related
activities showed a greater change in their antopometric nutritional status, revealing
that further studies are needed to investigate why people who are easier to perform
tasks are overweight and obese. Than visually impaired people with great or extreme
difficulty. |
