Оценка нутритивного статуса при артериальной гипертензии: роль диетолога

In the research on the assessment of nutritional status in individuals with arterial hypertension (AH) as part of a dietitian appointment from the Health Center 54 patients with AH took part (mean age 57.63 ± 11.87). The control group consisted of 27 conditionally healthy patients. It was analyzed anthropometric parameters (body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC)); an assessment of the component composition of the body and the actual nutrition was performed. In the group of hypertensive patients in comparison with the control group higher values of body mass index were found (overweight and obesity of the I–III degrees), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), as well as body fat mass normalized by height (34.15 ± 12.00 in patients with AH versus 27.37 ± 11.17 in the control group). An analysis of laboratory parameters revealed a disturbance of lipid metabolism in the group of patients with AH. In the analysis of actual nutrition in people with AH, the signs of an unbalanced diet for macro- and micronutrients are observed mainly due to an excess of total fat by 29.26%, sodium — by 4.21%, cholesterol — by 8.27%, total carbohydrates — by 6.65%, added sugar — by 17.34% and saturated fatty acids — by 22.24% of the recommended intake against the background of a deficit in dietary fibers — by 61.15%, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids — by 14.32%, trace substances (calcium, magnesium) and vitamins (vitamin A, B vitamins, niacin).
