| Popis: | espanolIntroduccion: la evidencia actual indica que el desarrollo de algunos tipos de cancer esta asociado a factores ambientales. Pocos estudios realizados en Espana han evaluado el estado nutricional de las mujeres con cancer. Objetivos: el objetivo de este estudio ha sido evaluar el estado nutricional de las mujeres en el momento de ser diagnosticadas de cancer de mama (CM) en una region del norte de Espana (Asturias), donde las cifras de cancer de mama son particularmente elevadas en comparacion con el resto de Espana. Material y metodos: se realizo un estudio transversal con una muestra de 76 mujeres recien diagnosticadas de cancer de mama. Se recopilaron datos sobre su estilo de vida, antropometria, ingesta, bioquimica y dieta de forma inmediata tras el diagnostico y antes del inicio del tratamiento. Resultados: un alto porcentaje de estas mujeres diagnosticadas de cancer eran sedentarias (59,2%). El valor medio de su indice de masa corporal (IMC) era de 27,3 ± 5,5 kg/m2. Asimismo, estas pacientes mostraron un alto porcentaje de grasa corporal, del 38,3%, y un elevado perimetro de la cintura, de 92,2 cm. La dieta de todas las pacientes incluia una escasa ingesta de frutas, verduras, legumbres y frutos secos, y en cambio una ingesta elevada de carnes rojas y procesadas y alimentos dulces, en comparacion con las recomendaciones dieteticas espanolas (p Conclusion: los resultados tambien mostraron unas escasas ingestas de folato, calcio y vitamina D, particularmente preocupantes en las mujeres. En conclusion, la mayoria de las voluntarias con CM presentaban sobrepeso, altos niveles de sedentarismo y un patron de dieta no equilibrada en el momento del diagnostico. EnglishBackground: evidence from research suggests that the development of cancer disease is associated with environmental factors. There are few studies evaluating nutritional status in women suffering from cancer in Spain. Objectives: this study aimed to assess the nutritional status in breast cancer female patients at diagnosis in a northern region of Spain (Asturias), where breast cancer rates are particularly high when compared to the rest of Spain. Material and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 76 newly diagnosed female cancer patients. Lifestyle factors, anthropometry, biochemical, and dietary intake data were collected immediately after diagnosis and prior to the initiation of the prescribed treatment. Results: a high percentage of these women diagnosed with cancer were sedentary (59.2%). Their average body mass index (BMI) was 27.3 ± 5.5 kg/m2. They also showed a high percentage of body fat, 38.3%, as well as a large waist circumference of 92.2 cm. Patients reported a low intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts, and a high intake of red meat, meat products, and sweet foodstuffs as compared to the Spanish dietary guidelines (p Conclusion: the results showed a low intake of folate, calcium, and vitamin D, which is particularly relevant in women. In conclusion, these breast cancer patients showed overweight and high sedentarism levels, and reported unbalanced dietary patterns at the time of diagnosis. |
