BACKGROUND
Flavonoids from a variety of fruits, including açaí, have beneficial antioxidant activity in several diseases, including cancer. Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among Brazilian women. Studies have shown the action of flavonoids on neoplastic cells, as well as on diabetes and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the relationship between the consumption of açaí and the presence of chronic diseases in women residing in the rural area of São Luís, Maranhão.
METHODS
A convenience sample of 150 women residing in the Maracanã neighborhood in São Luís, Maranhão, was used; the collected data included sociodemographic characteristics, habits, sexual and reproductive history, consumption of açaí, and history of cancer and other chronic diseases. The sample was divided into women who consumed açaí at least once a week (cases) and women who did not consume açaí (controls). Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationships between those variables and the consumption of açaí.
RESULTS
A total of 141 women (94%) consumed açaí. Among these, 79.3% were aged between 20 and 50 years, 78.67% were farmers or housewives, 64.67% were Pardo (mixed race), 76.67% were nonsmokers, 70% were not receiving hormonal therapy, 40.67% had already undergone mammography, 28% had already undergone breast ultrasound, and 27.33% had a family history of cancer, with breast cancer being the second most prevalent cancer. There was a higher prevalence of hypertension among women who did not consume açaí than that among those who did; however, previous cancer, family history of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes were more prevalent among the consumers of açaí. There were no statistically significant relationships.
CONCLUSION
Flavonoids are known to have a beneficial effect on some types of neoplastic cells and other diseases; therefore, larger studies are necessary to better evaluate the beneficial effects of consuming foods containing flavonoids on these diseases.
背景
包括阿萨伊果在内的各种水果中的类黄酮，在包括癌症在内的多种疾病中具有有益的抗氧化活性。乳腺癌是巴西女性中第二大常见癌症。研究表明，类黄酮对肿瘤细胞以及糖尿病、神经退行性疾病和心血管疾病具有作用。
目的
分析阿萨伊果的食用与居住在马腊尼昂州圣路易斯农村地区的女性慢性病之间的关系。
方法
采用便利抽样法选取马腊尼昂州圣路易斯市马卡兰 neighborhood 的 150 名女性，收集的资料包括社会人口学特征、习惯、性和生殖史、阿萨伊果的食用情况以及癌症和其他慢性病的病史。将样本分为每周至少食用一次阿萨伊果的女性（病例）和不食用阿萨伊果的女性（对照）。进行统计分析以评估这些变量与阿萨伊果食用之间的关系。
结果
共有 141 名女性（94%）食用阿萨伊果。其中，79.3%年龄在 20 至 50 岁之间，78.67%为农民或家庭主妇，64.67%为帕尔多（混血儿），76.67%为不吸烟者，70%未接受激素治疗，40.67%已进行过乳房 X 光检查，28%已进行过乳房超声检查，27.33%有癌症家族史，乳腺癌是第二大常见癌症。不食用阿萨伊果的女性中高血压的患病率高于食用阿萨伊果的女性；然而，食用阿萨伊果的女性中更常见的是既往癌症、癌症家族史、心脏病和糖尿病。但这些关联均无统计学意义。
结论
类黄酮已知对某些类型的肿瘤细胞和其他疾病具有有益的作用；因此，需要进行更大规模的研究，以更好地评估食用富含类黄酮的食物对这些疾病的有益影响。
