Nutritional status, eating habits and physical exercise among women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Abstract
Visual impairment is characterized as a loss of visual capacity that cannot be fully corrected with refractive correction or surgery, causing a limitation in the performance of everyday tasks. The objective was to investigate the nutritional status of individuals with visual impairment attended at a school located in the city of Pelotas-RS. It was a cross-sectional observational study, with adults and elderly people who have different degrees of visual impairment. A questionnaire consisting of 42 items was used to obtain data in addition to the anthropometric measurements that were taken to assess body composition, nutritional status and risk of non-communicable chronic diseases. 20 people, predominantly female, elderly and single, took part in the study. It was found that 55% of the participants were overweight. Furthermore, it was found that 50% of men and 60% of women were at risk of metabolic complications associated with central obesity due to high waist circumference. Therefore, individuals with visual impairments in this study showed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity.
