简要总结
BACKGROUND: In several bone disorders, adequate calcium intake is a coadjuvant intervention to regular treatment. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a collagen disorder with a range of symptoms, ranging from fractures to minimum trauma, and is typically treated with bisphosphonates. This study aims evaluate the impact of a nutritional intervention (NI) on dietary calcium intake, bone mineral density (BMD)in pediatric patients with OI. METHODS: Interventional cohort study was designed with a NI. Dietary calcium intake, anthropometry and clinical feature was assessed at baseline including anthropometry, basal metabolic rate (BMR), BMD, Food guidance form was developed and sent to patients by mail. After 12 months, patients' clinical features were reassessed and compared with baseline data. RESULTS: Fifty-two children and adolescents were enrolled. A significant increase in total calcium intake (g), the percentage of adequate calcium intake (%), number of cups of milk ingested, were observed after NI. Was detected a positive correlation between the variation of BMD and milk consumption in patients treated with bisphosphonate. CONCLUSION: Was observed an increase in calcium intake in patients with OI. This finding demonstrates the importance of nutrition therapy as part of a multidisciplinary treatment approach for bone health.
详细描述
Nutrition Intervention NI was performed at three nutritional visits (baseline, 6 and 12 months). Clinical features were evaluated at baseline, including anthropometric measurements, basal metabolic rate (BMR), BMD An indirect calorimetry test was performed to estimate the BMR of each participant. Dietary intake was assessed using daily food intake report completed by participants on three non-consecutive days. The frequency of consumption and amount of calcium intake were evaluated using a food frequency questionaire (FFQ) with emphasis on foods rich in calcium. Based on these data, the nutritional needs for each subject were calculated, and personalized food guidance (including recipes rich in calcium) was delivered by mail.
In the second visit, at 6 months after baseline, adaptations were made to food guidance according to the needs of each patient, doubts about feeding were clarified and the importance of a diet rich in calcium was reinforced.
On the third visit, at 12 months after baseline, dietary calcium intake, anthropometric measurements, , BMD were re-evaluated.
Calcium Intake Calcium intake was assessed using an FFQ adapted to calcium intake applied before and after the NI. In the present study, the focus was on the consumption of foods high in calcium, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. To establish the percentage of the adequacy of intake, the values obtained from the FFQ were compared with the Estimated Average Requirement (EAD) and Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA).
The FFQ for calcium intake was composed of milk (1 cup = 175 ml), 1 yogurt (120 ml), and cheese (1 medium slice = 30 g). These foods were classified according to the consumer (as D, daily; W, weekly, and M, monthly) and indicating the number of times (1 to 10) and the size of the corresponding portion, if greater, equal or less than the given portion (according to a poster with color photos to illustrate the portion size of each food source of calcium).
