Main Article Content
Abstract
Overweight, obesity and unhealthy eating habits are nutritional issues among thyroid cancer (TC). This study aimed to describe the nutritional status and eating habits among TC patients at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 91 TC patients. Criteria for overweight and obesity are based on the threshold for Asians with BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2. This study showed that the percentage of overweight and obesity among TC patients was 28.6%. There was a relatively high percentage of patients consuming red meat (67%), fried foods (60.5%); processed foods (26.7%); cruciferous vegetables (80.2%). In contrast, very few patients regularly consumed fish and seafood (15.1%); seeds and nuts (3.5%); whole grains (3.5%); vegetables rich in beta-carotene (9.3%). The factors related to overweight and obesity of TC patient include over 60 years old (OR = 4.1); male (OR = 5.2); and regular consumption of red meat (OR = 3.4).
