MEZA-MIRANDA, Eliana R  e  OVELAR-GRANCE, Perla S. Evaluation of nutritional status, eating patterns and performance of physical activity of the resident doctors of the General Hospital of Luque in 2020. Mem. Inst. Investig. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.46-52. ISSN 1812-9528.  https://doi.org/10.18004/mem.iics/1812-9528/2022.020.01.46.

Resident physicians face changes in lifestyle, acquisition of inappropriate eating habits, influence of fashions, advertising and the need to belong to a social group, which is why they are at risk of being overweight and obese. Our objective was to determine the nutritional status, eating patterns and physical activity of the resident doctors of the General Hospital of Luque in 2019. A descriptive, observational cross-sectional study was carried out in which sociodemographic variables, anthropometric, nutritional status, eating pattern and physical activity were evaluated. A total of 58 resident physicians were included, of which 66% was female, and the average age was 28.12 years. According to the BMI, the majority were overweight (34.5%). Regarding eating patterns, most did not comply with the recommendations of the Paraguayan Dietary Guidelines of consuming 3 fruits per day or avoiding foods rich in fat, sodium and high in calories such as fast foods. It was observed that 49% did not perform physical activity. The resident physicians of the General Hospital of Luque were mostly overweight, had an inadequate eating pattern and did not perform physical activity.
