| Cur Síos: | Objective: This study aimed to analyze the percentage of weight loss in patients who participated in a multidisciplinary treatment involving Nutrition and Physical Education. Methodology: This is a retrospective study involving a total of 19 participants treated at the Nutrition School Clinic and frequent users of the University Gym, where they performed one-hour resistance exercises 3 to 5 times per week over one year of follow-up. Data were collected from nutrition records from July 2023 to August 2024. The analyzed data included body weight and abdominal and neck circumferences at three points: at the beginning of treatment (new case), during nutritional follow-up, and during combined nutritional and physical activity follow-up. Results: The mean percentage change in weight between the new case and nutritional intervention was a 3.6% loss. However, between the nutritional intervention and the combination with physical activity, the weight loss was 1.2%. Regarding circumferences, the abdominal circumference was reduced by 2% and the neck circumference by 1% with the interprofessional intervention. In contrast, nutritional intervention alone did not result in alterations in abdominal and neck circumferences. Conclusion: Interprofessional treatment (nutrition and physical exercise) led to greater weight loss and reductions in circumferences compared to nutritional intervention alone. |
