Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de la obesidad y analizar su asociación con el consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados (AUP) en adultos mayores en la atención primaria de salud.
Métodos: En este estudio transversal participaron 1322 adultos mayores de Roraima, Brasil. La obesidad se determinó mediante el índice de masa corporal, calculado a partir de mediciones de peso y altura. El consumo de AUP se evaluó con un formulario de marcador dietético utilizado a nivel nacional en la atención primaria. También se recopilaron datos sociodemográficos.
Resultados: La prevalencia de obesidad fue del 14%, y siete de cada diez adultos mayores reportaron haber consumido al menos un tipo de AUP el día anterior. Los adultos mayores que consumieron hamburguesas y carnes procesadas (aOR = 1,50; IC 95% = 1,08–2,08; p = 0,016) y aquellos que consumieron dulces y golosinas (aOR = 1,38; IC 95% = 1,02–1,80; p = 0,046) tuvieron mayor probabilidad de ser obesos en comparación con aquellos que no consumieron AUP.
Conclusión: Aunque la obesidad afecta a una parte significativa de los adultos mayores, el consumo de AUP es frecuente entre ellos. Reducir el consumo de AUP, especialmente hamburguesas, carnes procesadas, dulces y golosinas, es esencial para promover la longevidad y la calidad de vida en la vejez.
