Plano de intervenção para redução do sobrepeso e obesidade dos moradores da área de abrangência da Equipe de Saúde de Família 2 (Azul) da Unidade Básica de Saúde Marcelo Pontel Gomes no Município de Belo Horizonte-Minas Gerais

Abstract

After a situational diagnosis in the area covered by Team 2 (blue) of the Basic Health Unit Marcelo Pontel Gomes in the city of Belo Horizonte-MG, a high number of overweight and obese users was observed. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an action plan to reduce overweight and obesity of residents of the area covered by the family health team 2 (blue) of the Basic Health Unit Marcelo Pontel Gomes. The methodology was carried out in three stages: situational diagnosis, literature review and action plan. In this study, the following critical nodes were selected: low adherence to nutritionally oriented groups and; low adherence to physical exercise. Based on these critical nodes, the following coping actions were proposed: creation of the “Taking care of food” projects to increase users' adherence to nutritional guidance groups and a new lifestyle, with changes in eating habits and; “60 days for life” to increase users' adherence to physical exercise groups and a new lifestyle, including systematic physical exercise. These strategies are expected to be sufficient to increase users' adherence and maintenance in nutritional counseling and physical exercise groups, and provide them with an empowerment tool about their health.
