Aim: to evaluate habitual macronutrient intake and its association with common cardiovascular risk factors in Brazilian elderly women. Methods: analytical cross-sectional study with 293 subjects. Carbohydrate, protein and lipid intakes were determined based on a three non-consecutive day dietary record. The following conditions were evaluated: dyslipidemia, systemic arterial hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Results: Anthropometric, clinical and biochemical data revealed an elevated prevalence of classic cardiovascular risk factors in the sample. Higher energy intake from omega-3 fatty acid was associated with elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.05), whereas a diet pattern with a relatively lower energy content from monounsaturated fatty acids was associated with presence of type 2 diabetes (p < 0.05). Conclusions: results corroborate experimental reports and contribute by suggesting that the usual diet, independently of supplementation, may be valuable to promote health and prevent chronic diseases of aging. |
