Defi ciencia de micronutrientes en la dieta del paciente con lesiones precancerosas del cérvix de una clínica de colposcopía en Ciudad Juárez, México Micronutrient defi ciency in the diet of the patient with precancerous cervix lesions on a colposcopy clinic at Ciudad Juárez, Mexico

Introduction: Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (SIL) is a state of transition to cervical cancer (CC), and micronutrient defi ciencies can speed up this process. Therefore, determining the existence of this defi cit and know what factors are associated would allow for possible prevention in this population at risk. Objective: To determine the presence of some micronutrient defi ciencies involved in the anti-carcinogenic process, also associate this defi cit with habits and demographic factors in patients with SIL in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study, 102 patients were selected with SIL. A dietary survey (24-hour recall) was performed to estimate the intake of micronutrients. The defi ciency was determined when the consumption was less than 75% of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) or suggested in Mexico. Some habits and demographic factors were obtained by interview with the patient. A logistic regression was performed to associate the presence of defi ciencies with factors that affecting the intake or increase the requirement of micronutrients. Results: Retinol, folic acid, zinc, vitamins C and E, considered micronutrients in the anti-carcinogenic process CC, were less than 75% of the RDA. Women with overweight, obesity and housewives, were signifi cantly associated with micronutrient defi ciencies. Conclusion: Overweight, obesity and occupation have been associated to present micronutrient defi ciencies in this study. These variables converge on a possible food insecurity, which could be associated with increased incidence of CC in Mexico. Resumen Introduccion: las lesiones intraepiteliales escamosas (LIE) son un estado de transicion hacia el cancer cervicouterino (CaCu) y un defi cit de micronutrientes puede acelerar este proceso. Por ello, determinar la existencia de este defi cit y conocer que factores se asocian permitiria una posible prevencion en esta poblacion de riesgo. Objetivo: determinar la presencia de alguna defi ciencia de micronutrientes involucrados en el proceso anticancerigeno y asociar este defi cit con habitos y factores demografi cos en pacientes con LIE de Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.
