Resumen
Objetivo: Realizar propuesta de Plan de vigilancia Nutricional a los trabajadores de la Matriz de Gloria Saltos para prevenir o controlar la aparición de enfermedades asociadas al IMC y marcadores metabólicos. Materiales y Métodos: En esta tesis transversal analítico, evaluamos a 100 trabajadores que asistieron al examen médico ocupacional periódico anual respectivo a Febrero y Abril de 2015. A cada colaborador se le determinó peso y talla y se le analizó el examen de laboratorio. Se definió sobrepeso como índice de masa corporal (IMC) >25 y <30, obesidad como IMC>30 e hipercolesterolemia como colesterol total sérico >200 mg/dL. Los resultados de prevalencia de obesidad y sobrepeso fueron 20% y 42% respectivamente. Se encontró valores anormales para colesterol, el 32% de los colaboradores tenía valores por encima de 200 mg/dl, un 4% con niveles de triglicéridos encima de 200 mg/dl, y un 3% con glucosa por encima de 100 mg/dl, siendo el 20% de los colaboradores con valores anormales de colesterol entre los 20 a 35 años de edad. El sexo femenino 57%, un 71% de los colaboradores con alteraciones de peso están entre 20 y 35 años; en cuanto al lugar de ingesta de alimentos, el 50% lo realiza dentro de la empresa, todos estuvieron asociados a sobrepeso. El 20% de hombres y mujeres restantes, en edad comprendida entre 20 y 35 años (80% de este sub grupo), con ingesta de alimentos dentro de la empresa (45%) estuvieron asociados a la obesidad. Conclusiones: La obesidad e hipercolesterolemia son patologías relevantes en esta población laboralmente activa. Se recomienda establecer programas de prevención de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y modificación de estilos de vida en esta población dentro de las empresas.
Objective: Create a Nutrition Monitoring Plan for the personnel of Gloria Saltos’ headquarters, in order to prevent and control the development of diseases associated to the Body Mass Index (BMI) and metabolic markers. Materials and Methods: In this analytical thesis, 100 employees were evaluated during the annual occupational medical examination test performed on February and April of 2015. The weight and height of each worker were analyzed in the laboratory test. Overweight was defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI)>25 and <30, obesity as a BMI>30 and hypercholesterolemia as serum total cholesterol >200 mg/dl. The results of obesity prevalence and overweight were 20% and 42%, each. Abnormal values of cholesterol levels were found among employees, as 32% of them had values over 200mg/dl, 4% had triglyceride levels above 200mg/dl, and 3% had glucose levels above 100mg/dl. 20% of workers between the ages of 20 to 35 years had abnormal levels of cholesterol. 57% of female workers and 71% of the staff which had alterations of weight are between 20 and 35 years; in terms of food intake only 50% of employees eat the meals provided by the company, and all of them were associated with overweight. 20% of men and women aged between 20 and 30 years (80% of this sub-group) whose lunch is provided by the company have been associated with obesity.
