- Mineral deficiency and cardiovascular risk in women with obesityPublication . Santos, Loanne Rocha dos; Melo, Stéfany Rodrigues de Sousa; Severo, Juliana Soares; Cruz, Kyria Jayanne Clímaco; Oliveira, Emyle Horrana Serafim de; Sousa, Thayanne Gabryelle Visgueira de; Morais, Jennifer Beatriz Silva; Soares, Tamires da Cunha; Oliveira, Francisco Erasmo de; Henriques, Gilberto Simeone; Marreiro, Dilina do NascimentoThis study aims to test the association between magnesium, selenium, and calcium and the increased cardiometabolic risk in women with obesity. This was a cross-sectional study that involved 130 women divided into a group of women with obesity (n=69) and a control group (n=61). Statistical analysis was performed through the GraphPad Prism program. The results shown that women with obesity have a lower concentration of the minerals magnesium, selenium and calcium in blood, as well increase in the excretion of these minerals in the urine when compared to the control group. Addition, thit group showed high concentrations of total cholesterol, TGC, VLDL-C, LDL-C, non-HDL, IC I, IC II, interleukine-6 and interleukine-8, which suggests increased risk for cardiovascular disease in this group. There was also a positive correlation between urinary mineral concentrations and anthropometric parameters. The results suggest that excess adiposity is associated with deficiency of the minerals analyzed, as well as revealing the association of this deficiency with increased cardiometabolic risk in the population evaluated.
