- Emotional state, state nutrition and body imagePublication . Veiga-Branco, Augusta; Pereira, Filomena; Tavares, Mariline; Mendes, PauloLiterature exposes the relationship between body dissatisfaction and low self-esteem, depression and changes in eating behavior (Silva, 2009). Depression is strongly associated with anxiety and stress, which in turn, are directly related to changes in appetite and food preferences, reflected in the nutritional status of individuals (Gomes, 2010). To characterize the perception of body image and nutritional and emotional state of outpatients in Nutrition consultation; Know the incidence of the presentation of emotional instability in individuals with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. An exploratory and quantitative study in a sample of 88 individuals between 18 and 65 years, of both genders, anthropometric measurements (weight, height and BMI) performed at the time of the query, using the Tanita scale body composition analyzer TBF- 300, and stadiometer Seca model 206 still constituted methodology for evaluating the Beck Depression Inventory (Gorestein, 1998) and the graph Perception of Body Image (Stunkard, 1983). Results: 54.5% of the sample shows criterion depression, but most of sample shows a mild to moderate stage. 95.7% of respondents demonstrate dissatisfaction with body image, evidencing 93.2% strongly dissatisfied for excess. 94.3% of the sample has ≥ 25 kg BMI/m2. Individuals in excess weight or obesity also demonstrate dissatisfaction of body image and depressive symptoms, suggesting a strong positive correlation between BMI and depressive state. Thus, to validate this correlation is suggested to continue the study, enlarging the sample to obtain greater statistical significance in the interdependence of the variables studied.
- Resting metabolic rate objectively measured vs. Harris and Benedict formulaPublication . Tavares, Mariline; Almeida-de-Souza, Juliana; Ferro-Lebres, VeraResting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the energy spent in activities necessary to maintain normal homeostasis and body functions. In the XX century, Harris and Benedict conducted a study using calorimetry to the measurement of basal metabolic rate. This study analysed physical variables (age, weight, height) and physiological data expressing the results in two formulas, one for males and another for females. Studies indicate that the data obtained in the equations are the same as those obtained by indirect calorimetry, however other studies question these results. Objective: Study the correlation between the RMR using indirect calorimetry and Harris-Benedict formula in a group of workers of granite industry. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was developed. Data collection was performed using a sample of 30 men from two companies of granite industry. Data collection was done using anthropometric measurements and the RMR assessed using the Fitmate, Cosmed®. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22. Results: The sample comprised 30 men, with a mean age of 39.8 (SD = 13.9) years. The RMR measured was in average of 1,741.0 (SD = 281.7) Kcal, and the Harris and Benedict Formula resulted in an average of 1,785.0 (SD = 229.2) Kcal. RMRs objectively measured and calculated varied on average 4.1 (SD = 14.6) % and were significantly correlated (=0.539; p-value = 0.01). Conclusions: The Harris-Benedict formula overestimates the RMR value at around 4.1 %, as previously mentioned.
