dc.description.abstractThe present study had as its main objective the evaluation of the consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), omegas 3 (n-3) and 6 (n-6). The sample consisted of six women over 40 years old, living in Lisbon. A cross-sectional analysis of the consumption of omega-3 and 6 was made through the application of a 3-day food diary (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day), and later analysis of the data by the FoodProcessor program. The results showed that there was an inadequate intake of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs. Further analysis showed that n-6 intake was high (84%) in comparison to n-3 intake (16%), and the ratio of n-6 and n-3 intake was not in line with recommendations. The results of this study suggest that the sample presents an inadequate intake of n-3 and n-6 PUFA, and it is necessary to emphasize the importance of nutritional programs in order to reduce the probability of occurrence of certain pathologies associated with imbalance of n-6 / n-3 intake. © 2019 ALIES.

dc.description.abstractO presente estudo teve como principal objetivo avaliar o consumo de ácido gordos polinsaturados (AGPI) ómegas 3 (n-3) e 6 (n-6). A amostra foi constituída por 6 mulheres com idades superiores a 40 anos, residentes em Lisboa. Foi feita uma análise transversal do consumo de ómega 3 e 6 através da aplicação de diário alimentar de 3 dias (2 dias de semana e 1 dia de fim de semana), e posteriormente análise dos dados pelo FoodProcessor. Os resultados mostram que há uma ingestão inadequada de AGPI n-3 e n-6. Após a análise, a ingestão de n-6 é elevada (84%), relativamente à ingestão de n-3 (16%), e o rácio da ingestão de n-6 e de n-3 não está de acordo com as recomendações. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que a amostra apresenta uma inadequada ingestão de AGPI n-3 e n-6, sendo necessário salientar a importância de programas nutricionais no sentido de diminuir a probabilidade de ocorrência de determinadas patologias associadas ao desequilíbrio da ingestão de n-6/n-3.pt_PT
