Introdução: A obesidade está fortemente associada à morbidade e mortalidade, no entanto é menos claro o seu impacto na qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde. Devido ao aumento da prevalência de excesso ponderal e suas consequências na saúde e qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde torna-se importante proceder à sua avaliação. Objetivos: Avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde antes e após intervenção nutricional para redução ponderal. Metodologia: Estudo analítico longitudinal com intervenção nutricional para perda de excesso ponderal/adiposidade, numa amostra de 39 utentes. A qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde foi avaliada pela aplicação dos questionários SF-36v2 e EQ-5D-3L. Resultados: O peso, a massa gorda e o índice de massa corporal iniciais encontraram-se negativamente associadas a pelo menos uma das dimensões avaliadas. No final da intervenção observou-se uma diminuição de medidas antropométricas e um aumento significativo na qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde. Verificou-se um aumento do índice EQ-5D-3L com a redução do peso, de índice de massa corporal e de massa gorda. Conclusões: A redução ponderal de apenas 4,3% numa amostra de indivíduos com índice de massa corporal médio classificado em obesidade, embora borderline (30,6 Kg/m2), foi suficiente para se observarem alterações positivas na qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde.
ABSTRACT - Introduction: Obesity is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality, but the impact on health-related quality of life is less known. Due to the increasing importance given to the health-related quality of life and the higher prevalence of excess weight and its consequences in Health, it is essential to evaluate it. Objective: Evaluate the health-related quality of life before and after a nutritional intervention for weight/adiposity reduction. Methodology: Longitudinal analytical study with nutritional intervention for loss of overweight, in a sample of 39 patients the health-related quality of life was assessed by SF-36v2 and EQ-5D-3L questionnaires. Results: Weight, fat mass and body mass index were negatively associated with at least one of the dimensions evaluated. By the end of the intervention, the reduction in all anthropometric measurements was followed by a significant increase in health-related quality of life. There was an increase in the EQ-5D-3L index with weight reduction, body mass index, and fat mass. Conclusions: The weight reduction of only 4.3% in a sample of individuals with a moderate body mass index classified as obesity, although borderline (30.6 Kg/m2), was sufficient to observe positive changes in health-related quality of life.
