MARTINEZ-KURATA, Raquel; GARCIA-LECCA, Raquel; SAMUDIO-MARQUEZ, Edward y CASTILLO-VELASQUEZ, Javier. Consumption of foods rich in antioxidants in outpatients with diabetic retinopathy at Hospital La Carlota during 2021. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.93-98. Epub 25-Ene-2023.

The objective of the study was to assess the quality of consumption of foods rich in antioxidants such as vitamin c, e and selenium in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in 28 patients with DR from the Vision Institute, Hospital La Carlota, during february 2021. Volunteer patients over 20 years of age with DR were included. 60% were men, the mean age was 56 ± 13 years and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was the most frequent. The most consumed foods were egg, onion and garlic. A deficient consumption of micronutrients was found in 63% of the cases, where the median consumption of vitamin c was 87.5 mg, vitamin e 13.9 mg, and selenium 36.7 mcg. In conclusion, there is a marked deficit in the consumption of foods with a high contribution of antioxidants in patients with DR.
