RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Nutritional therapy is a cornerstone of the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess differences in dietary habits between subjects with and without known type 2 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a sample of 1242 predominantly elderly subjects enrolled in the InCHIANTI study, total energy and macronutrient intake was assessed cross-sectionally using the EPIC self-reported questionnaire. Results were compared in subjects with (N=109) and without known diabetes, and differences were adjusted for age, sex, and reported comorbidities. Subjects with known diabetes reported a significantly lower (p<0.001) total energy and soluble carbohydrate intake in comparison with the rest of the sample (1793+/-481 vs 2040+/-624 kCal/day, and 66.9+/-22.3 vs. 93.5+/-34.9 g/day, respectively). Conversely, consumption of total and saturated fats, dietary fibres and proteins was not significantly different. CONCLUSION: Known diabetes is associated with a reduction of soluble carbohydrate consumption and total energy intake without any further modification of dietary habits. These data suggest that the diagnosis of diabetes could induce some changes in nutritional style. However, corrections in dietary habits do not appear to be consistent with current guidelines and recommendations.

Este trabajo se desarrolló en la Unidad de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) y en la Unidad Coronaria (UCO) del Hospital de Agudos Juan A. Fernandez, desde el día 6 de marzo de 2001 hasta el 8 de julio de 2002. El objetivo fue verificar si existen diferencias significativas en las variables de protección de la vía aérea (VA) entre los pacientes que fueron extubados con éxito y los que fracasaron en la extubación. Estas diferencias pueden tener relevancia al momento de la extubación de los pacientes. Los pacientes fueron incorporados a la muestra en forma consecutiva siempre que hubieran sido intubados orotraquealmente, que hubieran recibido asistencia ventilatoria mecánica por un lapso no inferior a 24 hs. y que superaran con éxito una prueba de Tubo en T por un tiempo mínimo de 30 minutos...
