Dietary intake at high altitudes and nutritional status in adolescent pregnant women attended at Pampas Hospital – Huancavelica, 2018
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-04-24) Cahuaya Pacoricona, Lionel Dante; Lozada Urbano, Michelle
The study aimed to correlate dietary intake with height and nutritional status of pregnant adolescents. Executed in Pampas-Huancavelica-Peru, at 3,251 meters above sea level. Cross-sectional study, 32 pregnant adolescents who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed; dietary intake was carried out with the 24-hour recall technique (R24H). The results show that energy, protein and fats are below the nutritional requirements, [average-adequacy] [energy: 2261.7 Kcal/day-80.8%], [proteins: 58.8 gr./day-78.9%], [ fats: 54.8 gr./day- 69.9%]. Carbohydrates showed values closer to adequacy [462.6 gr./day-95.5%]. Vitamins and minerals showed higher percentages of inadequacy, Thiamin (1.1 mg/day) 76.4%, Niacin 84.6%, Folic acid 80.2%, Cobalamin 77.1%, Vitamin A 86.5%, Riboflavin 77.3%, Iron 70.5%, Calcium 68.5 %, Phosphorus 76.6%, Iodine 84.1% and Zinc 82.3%. They showed a normal nutritional status 40.6%, underweight 56.2% and overweight 3.1%, with anemia 71.9% and without anemia 28.1%. A correlation was found between the adequacy of dietary intake at altitude (energy and nutrients) and nutritional status in pregnant adolescents; it was determined that there is a positive and significant correlation between the variables p<0.05, except for fat. We must focus on prevention, detection and timely treatment of anemia in women throughout their reproductive age and strengthen supplementation with iron or other micronutrients to reach 100% of pregnant women.
