0398/2017 - Aspectos nutricionais de pessoas acometidas por hanseníase, entre 2001 e 2014, em municípios do semiárido brasileiro. Nutritional aspects of people affected by leprosy, between 2001 and 2014, in semi-arid Brazilian cities.
O estudo buscou caracterizar a insegurança alimentar, o estado nutricional e hábitos alimentares de pessoas acometidas por hanseníase. Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo, de população censitária, em que foram avaliados 276 casos, notificados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, entre 2001 e 2014, nos municípios de Vitória da Conquista e Tremedal, Bahia. A insegurança alimentar foi estimada pela Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. Foram coletadas medidas de peso e altura, frequência alimentar, variáveis domiciliares, socioeconômicas, psicossociais e clínicas. A prevalência de insegurança alimentar foi de 41,0% na população; sendo 28,3% leve, 8,0% moderada e 4,7% grave. O sobrepeso/obesidade foi estimado em 60,1% das pessoas avaliadas e o consumo excessivo de sal foi relatado por 8,6%. O feijão e a carne vermelha foram os alimentos mais regularmente consumidos e houve baixo consumo de leite, hortaliças cruas e cozidas, e frutas. A insegurança alimentar apresentou elevada prevalência, associada à inadequação do hábito alimentar e estado nutricional, refletindo a vulnerabilidade nutricional desta população. Recomenda-se a inserção da assistência nutricional às políticas públicas da hanseníase, como forma de qualificar a atenção à saúde.

Abstract:
The study aimed to characterize food insecurity, nutritional status, and eating habits of people affected by leprosy. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of a census population. We evalauted 276 cases, reported in the Notifiable Diseases Information System, between 2001 and 2014, in the municipalities of Vitória da Conquista and Tremedal, in the state of Bahia. Food insecurity was estimated by the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. We collected weight and height measurements, food frequency, household, socioeconomic, psychosocial and clinical variables. The prevalence of food insecurity was 41.0% among the population; being 28.3% mild, 8.0% moderate and 4.7% severe. Overweight/obesity was estimated in 60.1% of the people evaluated and excessive salt intake was reported by 8.6%. Beans and red meat were the most regularly consumed foods and there was low consumption of milk, raw and cooked vegetables, and fruit. This population presented high food insecurity prevalence, inadequate eating habits and nutritional status, which reflects its nutritional vulnerability. The ion of nutritional assistance in public policies for leprosy is recommended in order to qualify the health care.
