Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effects of nutritional counseling on the dietary habits and anthropometric parameters of overweight and obese adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods This was a prospective, longitudinal and auto-controlled study. Thirty adolescents aged 13–19 years-old, diagnosed with PCOS received nutritional counseling and were followed-up for 6 months. After the follow-up period, the results were evaluated through body weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC).

Results Sixty-percent of the adolescents adhered to the nutritional counseling and, of these, 50% lost weight. Adolescents who lost weight changed their dietary habits by adopting hypocaloric diets and eating more meals per day, as per nutritional counseling. The waist circumference (WC) decreased significantly, although the body weight decreased non-significantly after adoption of a hypocaloric diet.

Conclusion Although there was no significant weight loss, there was a considerable reduction in the WC associated with hypocaloric diets and with eating a greater number of meals per day.

Resumo

Objetivo Avaliar os efeitos do aconselhamento nutricional sobre os hábitos alimentares e os parâmetros antropométricos de adolescentes com sobrepeso e obesidade e com síndrome do ovário policístico (SOP).

Métodos Este foi um estudo prospectivo, longitudinal e autocontrolado. Trinta adolescentes com idades entre 13 e 19 anos e diagnosticadas com SOP receberam aconselhamento nutricional. Após 6 meses de acompanhamento, os resultados foram avaliados através do peso corporal, índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a circunferência da cintura (CC).

Resultados Sessenta por cento das adolescentes aderiram ao aconselhamento nutricional e, destas, 50% perderam peso. Adolescentes que perderam peso mudaram seus hábitos alimentares adotando dietas hipocalóricas e comendo mais refeições por dia, seguindo orientação nutricional. A circunferência da cintura (CC) diminuiu significativamente, embora o peso corporal tenha diminuído de forma não significativa após a adoção de uma dieta hipocalórica.

Conclusão Embora a perda de peso não tenha sido significativa, houve redução considerável da CC associada a dietas hipocalóricas e à ingestão de um maior número de refeições por dia.
