Dietary characteristics of disabled leprosy patients raised at Thai Binh Dermatology Hospital in 2020
Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted in Thai Binh Dermatology Hospital in 2020 to evaluate the dietary intake of leprosy patients by 24-hour dietary re-call method. The diets of 112 patients were included in the analysis for nutrient, vitamin and mineral intake and diet balance. The results showed that the patient's diet only met 77.7% of energy requirement, 78.6% of protein requirement; 88.4% of fat requirement and 87.5% of carbohydrate requirement according to nutritional status.
At the same time, the proportion of meeting some minerals and vitamins in the diet of leprosy patients was very low, especially calcium. And the ratio of calcium and phosphorus was not suitable (only 0.43), much lower than the recommended one. It is necessary to classify the subjects of leprosy patients according to nutritional status in order to develop a menu suitable for each group of subjects, and to more effectively and gradually improve the quantity and quality of meals.
