Overweight and obesity belong to the alarming and constantly increasing problems of the 21st century among all age groups. One of the major factors enhancing these problems are simple carbohydrates commonly found in popular sweet drinks.
The aim of the study was to estimate the nutritional patterns of elderly people with diagnosed cardiovascular system diseases, and analysis of the relationship between consumption of simple carbohydrates and prevalence of overweight and obesity.
From 233 individuals hospitalized in the Clinic of Cardiology and Hypertension in Krakow, Poland, a group of 128 elderly people was selected (66 women and 62 men). Actual food consumption for each individual was assessed using a 24-hour nutrition recall. BMI values was calculated for assessment of nutritional status. Statistical analysis was performed on two groups: one with BMI <25kg/m and other with BMI≥25kg/m.
Overweight was stated among 33.8% of women and 50% of men, obesity among 27.7% of women and 17.7% of men. Results indicated that consumption of products rich in sucrose was associated with overweight and obesity. People with overweight and obesity statistically more often ate sweet products comparing to those with proper weight: 46.2 g vs 33.8g. The growing world-wide epidemic of overweight and obesity is one of the main priorities of preventive medicine remains changing eating patterns As observed in this study, one additional spoon of sugar consumed daily increases the risk of being overweight or obese by about 14%.
Overweight and obesity was found among 60% of the examined elderly people. Correlation was found between rise in risk of obesity or overweight by about 14% with each additional spoon of sugar (5g) eaten every day.
超重和肥胖是21世纪所有年龄组中令人担忧且不断增加的问题。加剧这些问题的主要因素之一是常见于流行甜饮料中的简单碳水化合物。
本研究旨在评估已诊断患有心血管系统疾病的老年人的营养模式，并分析简单碳水化合物的摄入量与超重和肥胖患病率之间的关系。
从波兰克拉科夫心脏病学和高血压诊所住院的233名个体中，选取了一组128名老年人（66名女性和62名男性）。通过24小时饮食回顾评估每个人的实际食物摄入量。计算BMI值以评估营养状况。对两组进行统计分析：一组BMI<25kg/m，另一组BMI≥25kg/m。
33.8%的女性和50%的男性超重，27.7%的女性和17.7%的男性肥胖。结果表明，食用富含蔗糖的产品与超重和肥胖有关。与体重正常的人相比，超重和肥胖的人食用甜食的频率在统计学上更高：46.2克对33.8克。全球超重和肥胖流行率的不断上升是预防医学的主要优先事项之一，饮食习惯的改变仍然是一个问题。如本研究所示，每天多吃一勺糖会使超重或肥胖的风险增加约14%。
在60%的受试老年人中发现超重和肥胖。发现每天多吃一勺糖（5克）会使肥胖或超重风险增加约14%，二者之间存在相关性。
