HÁBITOS ALIMENTARES EM MULHERES SUBMETIDAS AO TRATAMENTO DE FERTILIZAÇÃO IN VITRO E A PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE NA AGENDA 21 DE GOIÂNIA

Abstract

This study had as objective to analyze the alimentary habits, the body mass index (BMI) and some varied of the women's treatment submitted to in vitro fertilization by the technique of ICSI and to stand out the presence of actions of promotion of alimentary habits in Agenda 21 of Goiânia. The present idea is reinforced in the Agenda 21 that the health promotion and the nutritional surveillance are of extreme importance for the quality of life of the population in Goiânia. The research was accomplished in a clinic specialized in human reproduction located in Goiânia in the period of September of 2006 to April of 2007. The alimentary ingestion was evaluated by the reminding of 24 hours through which was possible to observe the macro and micronutrients ingestion, as well as the presence of the fat acid, glutamic acid and caffeine. BMI was calculated through the measures of height and weight. The program DietPRO was used to convert homemade amounts in measures in ingestion levels. The variables of the treatment were obtained from the medical handbook after the procedures. For the statistical analysis of the data the program was used MATLAB version 6.0, the statistical method used to correlate the nutritional variable with the one of the treatment the coefficient of Pearson s correlation. The correlations were classified as: positive or negative light, acceptable, moderate, substantial and almost perfect. The results showed that BMI, proteins, caffeine, copper, vitamin E, zinc and carbohydrates had a moderate correlation with the gonadotropins levels used in the induction of the ovulation. BMI, copper, vitamin E and zinc had moderate correlation with the days of induction of the ovulation. The number of follicles, observed in the last analysis had a moderate correlation with the potassium and with the folic acid. The folic acid still presented a correlation moderated with the oocyte number, identified after the collection. The correlation among the nutrients and the oocyte number classified as immature (Vg and M1) it was mainly negative except for the sodium, manganese and of the proteins, however these correlations just presented acceptable values. The mature oocyte (M2) had a moderate correlation with the calcium and folic acid. As the results found in this research are not conclusive, is suggested some study to confirm the relationship between human reproduction and alimentary habits.
