| Expected outcome 1: Participants were expected to achieve a weight reduction of 3.5% of their weight in 3 months of nutritional monitoring. It was expected that this weight reduction would be significant in improving heart rate variability parameters, and that patients would present an improvement in parameters related to quality of life (improvement in sedentary behavior, symptoms related to the risk of depression and quality of diet). ).;Finding outcome 1: 24 patients with obesity (BMI > 30kg/m2) were evaluated, with a mean age of 62 years (min – max: 42 – 80 years, SD: 10 years), 45.8% of whom were adults (5 men and 6 women) and 54.2% elderly (7 men and 6 women). Adherence to healthy eating habits increased on average from 21.3% to 66.5% (P< 0.001). The questionnaire used to assess physical activity demonstrated that, at the end of the study, 88% of patients were classified as physically active when compared to 58% in the baseline period (P=0.023), and there was a significant reduction in the depression risk score after the intervention (Baseline: 8.87 ± 1.15; Post-intervention: 5.15 ± 1.20; P=0.022), indicating improvement in patients' mental health. Significant reductions in the levels of blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol and the LDLc fraction, and triglycerides were also observed in models adjusted for medication use (P<0.05). The BMI, which before the intervention had an average of 34.8 kg/m2, ranging from 30.0 – 47.4 kg/m2, after the nutritional intervention had an average of 32.6 kg/m2, ranging from 27.7 – 44.8 kg/m2. It was noted that the intervention program was effective in significantly reducing BMI (P=0.029) and waist circumference (P=0.031). An association was identified between the variation in weight loss and decrease in BMI with the variability observed in the components of the frequency domain, both among adult individuals (P=0.003) and among elderly individuals (P=0.034). | — |
