“…Poor eating habits contribute to the development of different diseases related to cardiovascular complications, and the presence of two risk factors (hypertension and excess body fat) directly related to diet was associated with reduced functional capacity among the elderly 20,21 . The importance of diet in the prevention of cardiovascular events in the elderly population is highlighted, with a high consumption of fats and sugars and a low consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables noted among this group 22 .…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol (TG/ HDL-c) ratio and cardiovascular risk factors among the elderly. Method: A cross-sectional epidemiological study with a random sample of elderly persons (n=349) of both genders, who received care under the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Viçosa, in the state of Minas Gerais, was performed. Cardiovascular risk was calculated by the relationship between the TG and the HDL-c levels, with values greater than 3.5 considered a risk. Social and economic variables, lifestyle, noncommunicable chronic diseases, serum glucose levels, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index were evaluated. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the association between the TG/HDL-c ratio and other variables. Variables associated with the dependent variable with a level of significance lower than 0.20 in univariate regression analysis were included in the final model (stepwise-forward), applying a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The highest TG/HDL-c ratio values were associated with the presence of hypertension, having been or currently be a smoker, having elevated serum glucose and an increased waist circumference. Conclusion: The findings reflect the importance of studies on cardiovascular risk in the elderly, as health professionals should be familiar with the parameters that classify at risk individuals. The TG/HDL-c ratio is a reliable classification method that is easy to apply and correlates closely with adverse health effects.

“…Similar findings of inadequate intake and overweight were observed in a study by Nascimento et al 30 . When considering these factors as indicators of inadequate dietary habits, studies relating to household surveys have found a heightened growth of overweight and obesity, especially in social strata of lower income 20,28,31 .…”

Objective: To investigate the association between dietary patterns and the socioeconomic aspects of elderly patients registered with the Family Health Strategy in Viçosa, Minas Gerais. Method: A cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample was employed. To identify dietary patterns, dietary intake was assessed through a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) adapted for an elderly population. From the FFQ dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis. After the identification of the dietary patterns, logistic regression was performed considering each different dietary pattern and the related socioeconomic variables. Results: The consumption of a Fat and sugar pattern was greater among women and lower in elderly persons who considered themselves as mixed race. The consumption of the Balanced pattern was also lower among mixed race, married individuals, with one to four years of schooling and from the CDE economic classes. The Fruit and fish pattern was less consumed by elderly persons with 1-4 years of schooling, while the opposite was observed among those with five years or more of study. But the consumption of a Leafy vegetables pattern was lower among those with five or more years of schooling. Conclusion: The evaluation of the consumption of dietary patterns and the establishment of a relationship with the socioeconomic aspects of the elderly helps to achieve a better understanding of risk and protective factors for health.

“…10,11 Fatores como dificuldade de transporte, baixo poder aquisitivo, preço, carência de políticas públicas de incentivo, falta de tempo, esquecimento, falta de hábito e de vontade, restrições alimentares, não gostar e edentulismo são exemplos de barreiras do consumo de frutas citados por adultos e idosos em um estudo realizado por Figueira et al 7 É frequente observar um maior consumo de frutas entre mulheres. [23][24][25][26] Um estudo realizado com adultos e idosos em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, verificou que a frequência de consumo de 5 ou mais vezes por semana foi maior entre as mulheres (52,5%), 24 assim como os estudos de Figueiredo et al, 25 realizado com adultos e idosos em São Paulo, que verificou um maior consumo diário de frutas no gênero feminino (51,7%), e de Silveira et al 26 na região CentroOeste. Questões relacionadas a um melhor conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável, maior frequência na realização de dietas e consumo de alimentos de baixo teor calórico, como as frutas, podem influenciar nas escolhas de mulheres, explicando parcialmente as diferenças de consumo entre os gêneros.…”
