A obesidade é uma doença crônica definida como o acúmulo de gordura anormal ou excessiva que pode prejudicar a saúde. Torna-se necessário intervir no seu combate e prevenção, especialmente entre as crianças. A literatura da área indica que, em geral, intervenções apenas com crianças ou com cuidadores, ou com ambos, apresentam resultados favoráveis. Neste estudo foram avaliados os efeitos de instruções, do treino de relato verbal (TRV) e do treino de automonitoração (TA), aplicados com e sem a participação do cuidador principal, sobre o seguimento de regras nutricionais em crianças com obesidade ou sobrepeso. Participaram duas crianças (9 e 11 anos) e suas cuidadoras primárias. O ambiente foi um consultório do ambulatório de psicologia de um hospital universitário. Foram utilizados: Prontuário dos pacientes, Roteiro de entrevista inicial, Inventário de estilos parentais (IEP), Roteiro de entrevista 2, Recordatório 24 horas, Manual informativo sobre obesidade e alimentação saudável, Teste de conhecimentos, Protocolo de orientação nutricional para crianças, Protocolo de automonitoração, Roteiro para análise do protocolo de automonitoração, jogos e brinquedos e Roteiro de entrevista final. O procedimento de coleta ocorreu em 10 sessões distribuídas em aproximadamente 15 semanas e consistiu de análise dos prontuários; entrevista no ambulatório com o cuidador e com a criança para assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido, aplicação do roteiro de entrevista inicial e do IEP; inserção dos participantes em uma de duas condições (Condição 1, apenas a criança [P1] presente; Condição 2, tanto a criança [P2] quanto seu cuidador primário [C2] estavam presentes); aplicação do Roteiro de entrevista 2 seguido da aplicação do Recordatório 24 horas (Linha de Base 1 [LB1]); aplicação do Manual informativo sobre obesidade e alimentação saudável e do Teste de conhecimentos; TRV (Linha de Base 2 [LB2]); TA; entrevista de acompanhamento e entrevista de encerramento. Quanto aos efeitos das instruções, os resultados indicam que P1 manteve a mesma classificação em todos os itens, enquanto P2 melhorou seu desempenho nos itens conhecimento e seguimento das orientações nutricionais e C2 apresentou melhora no conhecimento sobre obesidade ao final do estudo. Os Índices de adesão à dieta obtidos por P2 foram mais elevados do que os obtidos por P1 em todas as fases da pesquisa. Comparando-se a média obtida pelos dois participantes em LB1 e LB2, observou-se aumento de 39,77% indicando mudança com significância clínica após intervenção. A combinação de variáveis nesta pesquisa mostrou-se favorável a ampliação do repertório dos participantes em relação ao comportamento alimentar, tendo como referência o próprio sujeito ao longo do estudo. Os resultados sugerem que há maior eficácia quando crianças e cuidadores são alvo de intervenção.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is often accompanied by pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory processes. Lifestyle modification (LiSM) may act as primary treatment for these processes. This study aimed to elucidate influencing factors on changes of malondialdehyde (MDA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations after a LiSM intervention. Sixty subjects (53 yrs, 84% women) clinically approved to attend a 20 weeks LiSM-program were submitted to weekly nutritional counseling and physical activities combining aerobic (3 times/week) and resistance (2 times/week) exercises. Before and after intervention they were assessed for anthropometric, clinical, cardiorespiratory fitness test (CRF) and laboratory markers. Statistical analyses performed were multiple regression analysis and backward stepwise with p<0.05 and R(2) as influence index. LiSM was responsible for elevations in CRF, healthy eating index (HEI), total plasma antioxidant capacity (TAP) and HDL-C along with reductions in waist circumference measures and MetS (47-40%) prevalence. MDA and CRP did not change after LiSM, however, we observed that MDA concentrations were positively influenced (R(2)=0.35) by fasting blood glucose (β=0.64) and HOMA-IR (β=0.58) whereas CRP concentrations were by plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase activity (β=0.54; R(2)=0.29). Pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory states of MetS can be attenuated after lifestyle modification if glucose metabolism homeostasis were recovered and if liver inflammation were reduced, respectively.

Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by increased accumulation of body fat. We evaluated the socioeconomic aspects, body composition, risk of metabolic complications associated with obesity, eating habits and lifestyle in both women and men adults and elderly with body mass index (BMI) 40 kg/m(2). Among the subjects studied, 79% (n = 32) are female, 5% (n = 2) smokers, 39% (n = 16) use alcohol and only 24% (n = 10) are practitioners of physical exercise. The higher food intake was breads, followed by rice. The daily intake of fruits and vegetables is low. Positive correlation between consumption of sugar and BMI and abdominal circumference (AC) was observed. In summary, was found that morbidly obese patients that looking for nutritional counseling presents increased body fat, poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle.

A preocupação acrescida com a condição e aparência física, refletem-se em cuidados com o estado de saúde e bem-estar e são, nos últimos anos, responsáveis pela expansão dos ginásios e health clubs.Mas, atividade física e a alimentação estão intimamente ligadas, tanto no que respeita à estética como também, com maiores preocupações, no que respeita à saúde. Daí que as duas vertentes estejam ligadas à imagem de pessoas saudáveis e vigorosas. Na verdade, a capacidade de rendimento do organismo melhora com a nutrição adequada. A avaliação da composição corporal é um importante aspeto na determinação da condição física e permite-nos observar as alterações fisiológicas produzidas pelos programas de atividade física e/ou alimentares, oferecendo informações quanto a sua eficiência ou possíveis correções a serem efetuadas. Pretendeu-se com o presente estudo caracterizar os hábitos alimentares e a composição corporal dos indivíduos praticantes de exercício físico num ginásio do Concelho de Coimbra. A amostra foi constituída por 50 indivíduos, 22 do sexo masculino e 28 do sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 57 anos. Estes indivíduos têm em comum o facto de praticarem exercício físico num mesmo ginásio, de uma forma sistemática há pelo menos 6 meses. Para a caracterização dos hábitos de AF dos participantes no estudo foi utilizada a versão curta do International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Para avaliação nutricional recorreu-se ao Questionário Semiquantitativo de Frequência Alimentar (QSFA), elaborado pelo Serviço de Higiene e Epidemiologia da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto. A conversão dos alimentos em nutrientes foi realizada recorrendo ao programa informático Food Processor Plus ® versão 7.0. Foram ainda avaliados os seguintes parâmetros antropométricos: peso, altura, perímetro abdominal, IMC, massa gorda e massa magra. As análises estatísticas foram efetuadas com recurso ao Programa Estatístico SPSS (Statistical Package for the Sciences) para o Windows, versão 20.0. O nível de significância estatística foi mantida em 5% (p<0,05). A análise dos dados permitiu retirar as seguintes conclusões: Os frequentadores de ginásio são na sua maioria indivíduos do sexo feminino (56%), jovens com uma idade média de 27±7 anos. A maioria dos participantes do estudo praticava EF (exercício físico) há 39 meses, no entanto no grupo existe uma grande variabilidade, existindo indivíduos que praticam EF há 6 meses, e outros que o fazem há 180 meses. Praticam EF com uma frequência média de 3,5±1,3 sessões/semana a que corresponde uma prática de EF 6,40±3,2 h/semana. A maioria apresentava um Perímetro Abdominal (PA) de 85,2±6,3 cm, Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) normal (23,1± 2,6 kg/m2), valores de Massa Gorda (MG) (23,9%) e de Massa Muscular (MM) de 34,6±7,9%. Observou-se uma diminuição da MG com o tempo de prática de exercício de 25,3% (praticantes entre 6-12 meses) vs 20,9% (praticantes> 48 meses). Esta influência temporal, embora sem significado estatístico, verifica-se também relativamente ao perímetro abdominal e IMC, embora neste último numa razão inversa, caracterizada pelo seu aumento. O tipo de exercício praticado influencia a composição corporal: praticantes de exercício aeróbio apresentam um perímetro abdominal inferior (82,3±6,0 cm) aos praticantes de outro tipo de exercícios porém acompanhado de uma percentagem de massa gorda superior (29,4±6,0%).Os praticantes de exercício de resistência apresentam valores de MG de 16,0±7,4%. No estudo por nós realizado, constatou-se inadequação na quantidade energética consumida, face às necessidades efetivas da amostra. Embora a ingestão de hidratos de carbono, de fibra e de lípidos se apresente dentro dos limites recomendados a ingestão de proteína ultrapassa os valores recomendados.Os resultados obtidos mostram que o tipo de exercício bem como o tempo de prática de exercício influenciam a composição corporal. Verificou-se ainda que a alimentação dos participantes no estudo não é adequada do ponto de vista nutricional e para além disso os hábitos nutricionais não parecem influir na composição corporal da amostra. Mais estudos serão necessários para que os hábitos alimentares dos praticantes de exercício em ginásios e health clubs sejam bem conhecidos e os profissionais da área tenham mais informações e possam orientar melhor os praticantes de exercício físico regular em ginásios e health clubs de modo a otimizar os resultados pretendidos através de um aconselhamento nutricional individualizado.

Following a drop in estrogen in the period of menopause some women begin to lose bone mass more than 1% per year reaching the end of five years with loss greater than 25%. In this regard, factors such as older age, low calcium intake and premature menopause favor the onset of osteoporosis. Preventive methods such as nutritional counseling to a proper diet and the support of technology through applications that assess dietary intake are essential. Thus, this study aimed to develop an application for Android® platform focused on the evaluation of nutritional and organic conditions involved in bone health and risks for developing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. To achieve this goal we proceeded to a study of 72 women aged 46-79 years, from the physical exercise for bone health of the Laboratory for Research in Biochemistry and Densitometry the Federal Technological University of Paraná program. Data were collected in the second half of 2014 through tests Bone Densitometry and Body Composition, Blood Tests, Anthropometric data and Nutrition Assessment. The study included women with a current diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis primary, aged more than 45 years postmenopausal. For the assessment of bone mineral density and body composition used the device Absorptiometry Dual Energy X-ray (DXA) brand Hologic Discovery TM Model A. For anthropometric assessment was included to body mass, height, abdominal circumference, Waist circumference and hip circumference. The instrument for assessing food consumption was used Recall 24 hours a day (24HR). The estimated intake of energy and nutrients was carried from the tabulation of the food eaten in the Software Diet Pro 4®. In a sub sample of 30 women with osteopenia / osteoporosis serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase tests were performed. The results demonstrated a group of women (n = 30) average calcium intake of 570mg / day (± 340). The analysis showed a mean serum calcium within the normal range (10,20mg / dl ± 0.32) and average values and slightly increased alkaline phosphatase (105.40 U / L ± 23.70). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the consumption of protein and the optimal daily intake of calcium (0.375 p-value 0.05). Based on these findings, we developed an application early stage in Android® platform operating system Google®, being called OsteoNutri. We chose to use Java Eclipse® where it was executed Android® version of the project; choice of application icons and setting the visual editor for building the application layouts. The DroidDraw® was used for development of the three application GUIs. For practical tests we used a cell compatible with the version that was created (4.4 or higher). The prototype was developed in conjunction with the Group and Instrumentation Applications Development (GDAI) of the Federal Technological University of Paraná. So this application can be considered an important tool in dietary control, allowing closer control consumption of calcium and dietary proteins.

Western societies have been faced with the fact that overweight, impaired glucose regulation and elevated blood pressure are already prevalent in pediatric populations. This will inevitably mean an increase in later manifestations of cardio-metabolic diseases. The dilemma has been suggested to stem from fetal life and it is surmised that the early nutritional environment plays an important role in the process called programming. The aim of the present study was to characterize early nutritional determinants associating with cardio-metabolic risk factors in fetuses, infants and children. Further, the study was designated to establish whether dietary counseling initiated in early pregnancy can modify this cascade. Healthy mother-child pairs (n=256) participating in a dietary intervention study were followed from early pregnancy to childhood. The intervention included detailed dietary counseling by a nutritionist targeting saturated fat intake in excess of recommendations and fiber consumption below recommendations. Cardio-metabolic programming was studied by characterizing the offspring’s cardio-metabolic risk factors such as over-activation of the autonomic nervous system, elevated blood pressure and adverse metabolic status (e.g. serum high split proinsulin concentration). Fetal cardiac sympathovagal activation was measured during labor. Postnatally, children’s blood pressure was measured at six-month and four-year follow-up visits. Further, infants’ metabolic status was assessed by means of growth and serum biomarkers (32-33 split proinsulin, leptin and adiponectin) at the age of six months. This study proved that fetal cardiac sympathovagal activity was positively associated with maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index indicating adverse cardio-metabolic programming in the offspring. Further, a reduced risk of high split proinsulin in infancy and lower blood pressure in childhood were found in those offspring whose mothers’ weight gain and amount and type of fats in the diet during pregnancy were as recommended. Of note, maternal dietary counseling from early pregnancy onwards could ameliorate the offspring’s metabolic status by reducing the risk of high split proinsulin concentration, although it had no effect on the other cardio-metabolic markers in the offspring. At postnatal period breastfeeding proved to entail benefits in cardio-metabolic programming. Finally, the recommended dietary protein and total fat content in the child’s diet were important nutritional determinants reducing blood pressure at the age of four years. The intrauterine and immediate postnatal period comprise a window of opportunity for interventions aiming to reduce the risk of cardio-metabolic disorders and brings the prospect of achieving health benefits over one generation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate by clinical and laboratory parameters how cystic fibrosis (CF) affects growth and nutritional status of children who were undergoing CF treatment but did not receive newborn screening. A historical cohort study of 52 CF patients younger than 10 years of age were followed in a reference center in Campinas, Southeast Brazil. Anthropometric measurements were abstracted from medical records until March/2010, when neonatal screening program was implemented. Between September/2009 and March/2010, parental height of the 52 CF patients were also measured. Regarding nutritional status, four patients had Z-scores ≤ -2 for height/age (H/A) and body mass index/age (BMI/A). The following variables were associated with improved H/A ratio: fewer hospitalizations, longer time from first appointment to diagnosis, longer time from birth to diagnosis and later onset of respiratory disease. Forced vital capacity [FVC(%)], forced expiratory flow between 25-75% of FVC [FEF25-75(%)], forced expiratory volume in the first second [FEV1(%)], gestational age, birth weight and early respiratory symptoms were associated with IMC/A. Greater number of hospitalizations, diagnosis delay and early onset of respiratory disease had a negative impact on growth. Lower spirometric values, lower gestational age, lower birth weight, and early onset of respiratory symptoms had negative impact on nutritional status. Malnutrition was observed in 7.7% of cases, but 23% of children had nutritional risk.

Contents of proteins, carbohydrates and oil of seeds of 57 individuals of Vochysiaceae, involving one species of Callisthene, six of Qualea, one of Salvertia and eight of Vochysia were determined. The main nutritional reserves of Vochysiaceae seeds are proteins (20% in average) and oils (21. 6%). Mean of carbohydrate contents was 5. 8%. Callisthene showed the lowest protein content (16. 9%), while Q. cordata was the species with the highest content (30% in average). The contents of ethanol soluble carbohydrates were much higher than those of water soluble carbohydrates. Oil contents lay above 20% for most species (30. 4% in V. pygmaea and V. pyramidalis seeds). The predominant fatty acids are lauric (Q. grandiflora), oleic (Qualea and Salvertia) or acids with longer carbon chains (Salvertia and a group of Vochysia species). The distribution of Vochysiaceae fatty acids suggests for seeds of some species an exploitation as food sources (predominance of oleic acid), for other species an alternative to cocoa butter (high contents or predominance of stearic acid) or the production of lubricants, surfactants, detergents, cosmetics and plastic (predominance of acids with C20 or C22 chains) or biodiesel (predominance of monounsaturated acids). The possibility of exploitation of Vochysiaceae products in a cultivation regimen and in extractive reserves is discussed.

The network of HIV counseling and testing centers in São Paulo, Brazil is a major source of data used to build epidemiological profiles of the client population. We examined HIV-1 incidence from November 2000 to April 2001, comparing epidemiological and socio-behavioral data of recently-infected individuals with those with long-standing infection. A less sensitive ELISA was employed to identify recent infection. The overall incidence of HIV-1 infection was 0.53/100/year (95% CI: 0.31-0.85/100/year): 0.77/100/year for males (95% CI: 0.42-1.27/100/year) and 0.22/100/ year (95% CI: 0.05-0.59/100/year) for females. Overall HIV-1 prevalence was 3.2% (95% CI: 2.8-3.7%), being 4.0% among males (95% CI: 3.3-4.7%) and 2.1% among females (95% CI: 1.6-2.8%). Recent infections accounted for 15% of the total (95% CI: 10.2-20.8%). Recent infection correlated with being younger and male (p = 0.019). Therefore, recent infection was more common among younger males and older females.

Osteoporosis is a global health problem characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Nutrition plays a critical role in reducing the risk of osteoporosis through its effect on all of these fragility factors, especially on the development and maintenance of bone mass. An adequate calcium, vitamin D and protein intake resulted in reduced bone remodeling, better calcium retention, reduced age-related bone loss, and reduced fracture risk. Recent evidence indicates that a healthy dietary pattern including dairy products (mainly fat free), fruit and vegetables and adequate amounts of meat, fish and poultry is positively related to bone health. Furthermore, mineral and vitamin supplementation should be closely monitored by health professionals since it could have adverse effects and be insufficient to ensure optimal protection of bone health.

A bulimia nervosa é um transtorno alimentar caracterizado por compulsões alimentares e métodos compen-satórios recorrentes. Os pacientes apresentam ingestão alimentar inadequada e comportamentos alimentares disfuncionais. O adequado tratamento do transtorno requer uma equipe multiprofissional e terapia nutricional especializada. Compreender as características desse transtorno, os padrões de consumo e o comportamento alimentar, bem como atentar para as atitudes alimentares dos pacientes, é fundamental para o planejamento e para a adequada condução da abordagem nutricional. A terapia nutricional para esse transtorno é diferenciada, exigindo do nutricionista maiores habilidades de aconselhamento nutricional. Educação nutricional e acon-selhamento nutricional, com ênfase na abordagem de atitudes alimentares e insatisfação corporal, são o foco da terapia nutricional. Para o atendimento eficaz desses pacientes e o sucesso no tratamento nutricional, é importante que o profissional se mantenha atualizado sobre nutrição e transtornos alimentares e procure especialização e experiência nessa área do conhecimento.
