Resumen

Introducción: Se realizó un estudio transversal entre 114 mujeres ancianas en Mitra Compound de la ciudad de Midnapore, distrito de Paschim Medinipur, Bengala Occidental. Todos los participantes pertenecen a 60-85 años de edad. El objetivo del estudio es conocer el estado nutricional de las ancianas urbanas y los factores que influyen en el estado nutricional de las participantes. Métodos: Se utilizaron el índice de masa corporal (IMC), la circunferencia de la cintura (WC), la relación cintura-cadera (WHR), la circunferencia de la parte media del brazo (MUAC) y la relación cintura-altura (WHTR) para evaluar el estado nutricional de los participantes. Resultados: Se ha observado mayor preobesidad (39,5%) entre los participantes. Además, la obesidad central se encuentra más entre los participantes según WC (55,3%), WHR (56,1%) y WHTR (75,4%). Conclusión: En este estudio, el MUAC muestra una asociación significativa con el grupo de edad y el nivel educativo. No se ha encontrado ningún otro factor asociado que influya en el estado nutricional de los participantes. La alarmante tasa de preobesidad indica que se deben realizar intervenciones nutricionales adecuadas en el futuro.
