Methods attending nutrition counselling of the working-age subjects 41
The participants were women and men of different ages, who attended nutri-
tional assessment by the nutritional dietitian Lidia Mosca in the period be-
tween 2009 and 2015. This nutritional dietitian operates in Italy.
The data, which were collected during nutritional assessments, describe
patient information. The whole database contains 951 samples, but we only
chose those that meet our limitations for analysis. The chosen parametres were
demographic data (gender, age) and physical data (body mass – kg, body height
– cm, BMI – kg/m², health status). The final database contains information
about 863 working-age population (198 men and 665 women), with an average
age of 42 years (from 20 to 86 years old; SD = 12.13 years).
Measurements of body composition were collected longitudinally, sepa-
rately for each person and for each subsequent consultation. The purpose of the
analysis was to identify the characteristics of the subjects who attended nutri-
tional counselling depending on their actual attending the counselling, and on
their health status, gender, and age.
Results
Figure 1: Analysis of the consultations from 2009 to 2015.
Figure 1 shows the results of the analysis of attendance to every consul-
tation from 2009 to 2015. 864 people attended the first consultation, but only
458 participants (53.07 % of the initial number) came to the following consul-
tation. The decline in the percentage of participants who did not return to the
next consultation gradually decreased.
Most of the participants who attended nutritional counselling did not de-
clare any health problem. This is shown in table 1, which analyses of the health
status of the attendees of every consultation.
