Risk of intesntinal dysbiosis in health care professionals and academics of municipality in the State of São Paulo
Abstract
Naturally, our body is inhabited by the microbiota, which is essential in maximizing the use of dietary nutrients. Intestinal dysbiosis is defined as distortions in the composition of the bacterial community present or impaired homeostasis, often associated with health conditions or diseases. Academics and health professionals should be considered representatives of healthy habits and quality of life. The objective was to evaluate the risk of intestinal dysbiosis of health professionals and academics in Jundiai and region and identified the relationship between intestinal alterations and food. The method consists of a quantitative and cross-sectional study, with the participation of 235 individuals between 18 and 70 years of age, of both sexes, health professionals or academics. An online questionnaire was applied through a Google Forms access link. In this questionnaire there were sociodemographic characteristics, eating habits, knowledge about intestinal microbiota, signs/symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis and an Intestinal Hypermeability questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis and chi-square test were performed, p<0.05. In the results, it was found that 51.92% reported symptoms that lead to a greater risk of hypermeability, a significant association was observed in relation to extraintestinal signs and symptoms p<0.0001 and also in the consumption of 2 times or more per week consumption of whole foods as a protection factor, while fast food has a 5.36 times greater chance of important signs than those who do not consume it. It was concluded that health professionals and academics have shown difficulty in maintaining healthy eating habits and there is an association between healthy habits and symptoms of dysbiosis.
