Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of signs and symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis among obese patients attended at an outpatient setting in a teaching institution in Brasí­lia-DF. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. The data were collected through the Metabolic Screening Questionnaire in 30 patients diagnosed with Obesity (Body Mass Index> or = 30.0), living in Brasilia and surroundings, of both sexes, aged between 20 and 55 years. Results: There was a high prevalence of hypersensitivity in the subjects investigated (57%) and signs and symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis in 17% of the cases. The most frequent symptoms were: Eructation and Flatulence, in 70% of the sample; Heartburn, 70%; Abdominal distention in 53%; Diarrhea, 43% and Stomach Pain, in 43% of the investigated subjects. Conclusions: The present study indicated a prevalence of signs and symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis in 17% of the patients investigated. Therefore, it is recommended more intervention strategies by professionals, such as: consumption of a more Mediterranean and less westernized diet, the practice of physical activity, the creation of specific foods that work the gastrointestinal microbioma in order to favor a nutritional state.
