Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/5979The present work aims to evaluate the correlation between food frequency and nutritional status in people with elimination ostomy (colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy). This is a transversal and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, carried out with 77 stomized patients (temporary and definitive) in the period from January to March 2020, in the Specialized Reference Unit ­ URE's. For data collection, sociodemographic information, clinical aspects, anthropometric measurements and food frequency questionnaire were used. As a result, it was observed a high frequency of consumption of processed/ultra processed foods and a low intake of fiber, besides that there were significant statistical correlations between food frequency and some anthropometric variables, featuring inappropriate eating habits, which in the long term may contribute to the genesis of non­transmissible chronic diseases that can harm the health of the person with ostomy, such as obesity, diabetes, among others; as well as contribute to the risk of prolapse, peristomal hernia, retraction and necrosis of the stoma. Therefore, it is necessary that the ostomy patient performs nutritional monitoring periodically in order to provide information regarding a healthy diet, considering the individuality of individuals and thus ensure their health, quality of life and reduce the chances of unpleasant intestinal symptoms.Acesso AbertoEstomiaComportamento alimentarEstado nutricionalStomaEating behaviorNutritional statusCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRIÇÃOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
