Changes in lifestyle are consideredfundamental in the prevention and control of hypertension, which can be achieved through health education actions atthe level of primary care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two strategies of nutrition and health educationfor the orientation of dietary changes indicated in the treatment of SAH. The study was conducted with women havinghypertension (n = 27) in the city of Porto Firme-MG. The intervention consisted in: 1) educational group activities (G1, n= 14); 2) educational group activities and household guidelines (G2, n = 13). The study evaluated the evolution of anthropometric,biochemical, clinical and dietetic parameters in three stages: T1 - before the intervention, T2 – at the end of theintervention and T3 - eight months after interventions stopped. In group 1, there was no statistically significant differencesin the parameters, while in group 2 there was statistically significant differences for the values of waist circumference (p =0,030), systolic blood pressure (p = 0,012) and consumption of salt (p = 0,003). While they were instructed, the womenfollowed the dietary guidelines which positively influenced the parameters from T1 to T2. In T3, it was observed that thechanges were not incorporated in their lifestyle |
