Proposta de intervenção para redução da prevalência da obesidade no distrito rural Baixa Quente na cidade de Araçuaí

Abstract

Obesity is configured as a complex health problem, generated by a series of factors that lead to systemic problems in the individual. The main factors related to the etiology of the problem are the decrease in physical activity and the sedentary lifestyle associated with an inadequate diet, therefore, preventable factors. This paper aims to present the intervention project to reduce the prevalence of besity in the community served by PSF Baixa Quente, in Araçuaí, Minas Gerais. A review of the literature on the subject of obesity was carried out in the Scientific Eletronic Library On Line (SciELO) and official pages of government agencies. The simplified method of Situational Strategic Planning (PES) was used to quickly estimate the problems observed and define the priority problem, critical nodes and actions. It is expected that, with the completion of the proposed projects: Eat Well to Live Better Project / Colorful Plate Project and Active Life Project, the obesity rate in the registered population will decrease and, consequently, improve the quality of life and health of the population.
