Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) are considered important public health problems, posing a challenge for health managers and staff who should act by promoting educational actions that stimulate adequate food and nutritional consumption. Objective: To evaluate the dietary intake of individuals with diabetes and/or hypertension treated in Primary Health Care. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological, observational and quantitative study. Held in the city of Montes Claros-MG, Brazil; the food consumption data were collected using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and then analyzed using AVANUTRI® software version 3.1.1. Results: 89 adult patients participated in the study; (66.3%), with a family income of ≤ 1 minimum salary (80.9%). Regarding the clinical aspects, 14.6% of the population had associated DM and SAH. Regarding the quantitative analysis of food intake of macronutrients, it was observed that the consumption of lipids reached the average of 151.86 g, carbohydrate consumption reached the median of 256 g and the protein intake of 145.13 g. In addition, high consumption of sodium and cholesterol, which were 3583.45 mg and 936.00 mg, respectively. Conclusion: Diabetic and/or hypertensive individuals treated in primary health care have inadequate dietary behaviors, which may be associated with difficult access to healthy foods, which are exacerbated by poor socioeconomic status.
