Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by increased accumulation of body fat. We evaluated the socioeconomic aspects, body composition, risk of metabolic complications associated with obesity, eating habits and lifestyle in both women and men adults and elderly with body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m². Among the subjects studied, 79% (n = 32) are female, 5% (n = 2) smokers, 39% (n = 16) use alcohol and only 24% (n = 10) are practitioners of physical exercise. The higher food intake was breads, followed by rice. The daily intake of fruits and vegetables is low. Positive correlation between consumption of sugar and BMI and abdominal circumference (AC) was observed. In summary, was found that morbidly obese patients that looking for nutritional counseling presents increased body fat, poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle.
肥胖是一种以体内脂肪堆积增加为特征的慢性疾病。我们评估了体重指数（BMI）>40kg/m²的成年男女及老年人中与肥胖相关的社会经济因素、身体成分、代谢并发症风险、饮食习惯和生活方式。在所研究的对象中，79%（n = 32）为女性，5%（n = 2）吸烟，39%（n = 16）饮酒，仅有24%（n = 10）进行体育锻炼。食物摄入量较高的是面包，其次是米饭。水果和蔬菜的每日摄入量较低。观察到糖的摄入量与BMI及腹围（AC）之间呈正相关。总之，发现寻求营养咨询的病态肥胖患者存在体脂增加、饮食习惯不良和久坐不动的生活方式。
