Abstract

Diet therapy is essential for hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plate waste in the lunch meals for Diabetes Mellitus patients and to verify its association with general characteristics of the patients, and the characteristics of the summer and winter menus. Two inpatient units were selected, with a sample of 49 individuals (63.3% males). Out of the 115 lunch meals served, 55.7% were partially consumed or not consumed. The plate waste for the lunch meals showed an average per capita of 64.15 g (intake of 310.89g) in the summer and of 135.99g (intake of 248.12g) in the winter. The menu pattern was similar for both seasons. It was found p <0.05 in relation to the season in the association of univariable odds ratio. Research of this nature is important to assist in patient prognosis.
