Prevalencia de ingesta inadecuada de micronutrientes en la población urbana de Costa Rica

La inadecuación de micronutrientes es frecuente en los países en vías de desarrollo. En Costa Rica existe poca información acerca de la ingesta de micronutrientes y del impacto de los programas de fortificación obligatoria de alimentos. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la ingesta de vitaminas y minerales y el aporte de la fortificación de alimentos a la ingesta total de micronutrientes en la población urbana costarricense.

Micronutrients inadequacy in urban population of Costa Rica

Micronutrient deficiencies are still very common in developing countries. In Costa Rica there is little information on micronutrients intake and the impact of food fortification.This study aimed to determine the contribution of food fortification to the total intake, and to estimate the risk of inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals in an urban Costa Rican population.

As a part of the Latin American Nutrition and Health Study, we analyzed data from a nationally representative sampleof 798 urban residents from Costa Rica (15-65 years old) whom provided two 24-h dietary recalls.

Diversidad dietética y adecuación de micronutrientes en Mujeres en edad fértil: resultados de Estudio ELANS

La diversidad dietética, un componente importante de la calidad de la dieta, se asocia con una mayor probabilidad de ingesta adecuada de micronutrientes. Las mujeres en edad fértil son particularmente vulnerables a la insuficiencia de micronutrientes. La diversidad dietética mínima para las mujeres se ha utilizado ampliamente como una medida aproximada de la adecuación de micronutrientes.

Dietary Diversity and Micronutrients Adequacy in Women of Childbearing Age: Results from ELANS Study

Dietary diversity, an important component of diet quality, is associated with an increased probability of adequate micronutrient intake. Women of childbearing age (WCA) are particularly vulnerable to micronutrient inadequacy. The Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) has been used widely as a proxy measurement of micronutrient adequacy. This study aimed to assess the association between MDD-W and nutrients adequacy among WCA of eight Latin American countries. Nutrient intakes from 3704 WCA were analyzed with two 24-hour dietary recalls.

Perfil antropométrico y prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población urbana de Costa Rica entre los 20 y 65 años agrupados por sexo: resultados del Estudio Latino Americano de Nutrición y Salud

La obesidad es una enfermedad que afecta en gran medida a la región de las Américas. Esta condición implica un aumento de la morbimortalidad y el riesgo de enfermedades crónicas, como las enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes tipo 2 y algunos tipos de cáncer.  El objetivo de la investigación fue describir el perfil antropométrico y la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población urbana costarricense según características sociodemográficas y nivel de actividad física.
