Factores sociodemográficos, consumo de grasas e incremento de peso en pacientes hospitalizados con enfermedad vesicular aguda y crónica

Introduction: Vesicular disease is one of the most frequent pathologies in the world in emergency and hospitalization services, occupying the third place as a specific cause of latent comorbidity. Objective: To identify the socio-demographic factors, fat consumption and weight gain associated with the development of acute and chronic gallbladder disease in hospitalized patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in hospitalized patients. Information on sociodemographic data, fat intake and weight gain was collected and SPSS version 27 was used to analyze the data. Results: Patients consumed less than 8 glasses per day. The highest proportion of women with acute gallbladder disease (AVD) reported consumption of high-fat foods; also, men who consumed high-fat foods were 7.2 times more likely to have acute gallbladder disease than men who did not consume (OR; 7.2, 95% CI; 1.02-52.0, p<0.05). Weight gain occurred in 72.5% and 73.5% with VAD and chronic vesicular disease (CVD), respectively. Particularly, in AVD patients, cardiometabolic risk (CMR) was higher and they reported that water consumption was less than 8 glasses per day. Conclusion: Participants had inadequate water intake, consumed a higher proportion of high-fat foods, and reported a higher cardiometabolic risk.
