ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze masticatory characteristics in children from 7 to 10 years, and to compare these characteristics among normal weight, overweight and obese children. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in northeast Brazil, with a sample of 160 children, aged 7 to 10 years. The authors evaluated: nutritional and dental status; food intake; masticatory parameters and orofacial myofunctional characteristics. The children were divided according to nutritional status into normal weight (n = 101), overweight (n = 33) and obesity (n = 26) groups. Results: The results showed that Obese children had a larger bite size (g) (median = 6.0, Q1-Q3 = 4.0-9.0, p = 0.049) and performed fewer masticatory sequences (median = 3.0, Q1-Q3 = 2.0-3.2, p = 0.024) than children with normal weight (median = 5.0, Q1-Q3 = 4.0-7.0; median = 4.0, Q1-Q3 = 3.0-5.0). Furthermore, obese children finished feeding in a shorter time (s) (median = 62.5, Q1-Q3 = 50.5-70.0, p = 0.039) than normal weight children (median = 66.0, Q1-Q3 = 56.5-78.0) and overweight children (median = 66.0, Q1-Q3 = 58.0-81.5). Conclusions: The present results suggest that obese children present changes in mastication, evidenced by larger bite-size, performing fewer masticatory sequences and rapid mastication, which may contribute to increased food consumption and the development of excess weight.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Studies have shown that changes in mastication are related to overweight in children and adolescents as these changes influence the increase in food consumption. The objective of this article was to characterize, through a systematic review, the mastication in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. For this, two independent authors performed a systematic review of the electronic databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Web of Science and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences. Masticatory characteristics were considered as primary outcomes; the methods of analyzing mastication, the physical characteristics of the foods/materials used in the analyses and the fasting time were considered as secondary outcomes. This review was prepared in accordance with the items of the preferential reports for systematic analysis and meta-analysis. The systematic review protocol was submitted to the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews. Nine articles were included in this review. The reviewed articles suggest that children and/or adolescents with overweight or obese present masticatory damages because they have worse masticatory performance and altered orofacial myofunctional characteristics.


RESUMO Estudos têm demonstrado que alterações na mastigação estão relacionadas ao excesso de peso em crianças e adolescentes, o que pode levar ao aumento do consumo alimentar. O objetivo deste artigo foi caracterizar, através de uma revisão sistemática, a mastigação em crianças e adolescentes com sobrepeso ou obesidade. Para isso, dois autores independentes realizaram uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados eletrônicas Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Web of Science e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde. As características mastigatórias foram consideradas desfechos primários; os métodos de análise da mastigação, as características físicas dos alimentos/materiais utilizados nas análises e o tempo de jejum foram classificados como desfechos secundários. Esta revisão foi elaborada de acordo com os itens dos relatórios preferenciais para análise sistemática e metanálises. O protocolo de revisão sistemática foi submetido ao Registro Internacional Prospectivo de Revisões Sistemáticas. Nove artigos foram incluídos nesta revisão. Os resultados dos artigos revisados sugerem que crianças e/ou adolescentes com sobrepeso ou obesidade apresentam danos mastigatórios, pois possuem pior performance mastigatória e características miofuncionais orofaciais alteradas.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: identificar a prevalência de síndrome metabólica e seus fatores associados em idosos com diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Métodos: estudo descritivo observacional realizado com idosos diagnosticados com diabetes mellitus tipo 2, no período de 2017-2018, recrutados no Ambulatório de Nutrição/Diabetes do Núcleo de Assistência ao Idoso da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Foram coletados os dados: sexo e faixa etária e, para a avaliação antropométrica dos participantes, foram mensurados o índice de massa corporal e a circunferência de cintura. Também foram coletados os valores de colesterol total e frações, além de glicemia em jejum, hemoglobina glicosilada e diagnóstico prévio de hipertensão arterial. Para analisar os dados obtidos foram utilizados os testes t de Student, Qui-quadrado de Pearson e teste de MannWhitney. Para as análises, foi adotado um intervalo de confiança de 95% e nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: a amostra foi de 273 participantes, com média de idade de 68,77±5,65 anos e cerca de 89,8% (n=158) apresentaram síndrome metabólica. A presença dessa condição foi associada a valores maiores de peso corporal (p=0,04), índice de massa corporal (p=0,003), circunferência de cintura (p<0,001) e glicemia em jejum (p=0,007). Conclusões: ocorreu alta prevalência de síndrome metabólica nos idosos estudados com essa condição associada a valores maiores de peso corporal, índice de massa corporal, circunferência de cintura e glicemia em jejum. Esses achados demonstram a importância na identificação precoce e na intervenção preventiva dessas condições na população idosa, diminuindo a morbimortalidade por ocorrência de eventos cardiovasculares e melhorando sua qualidade de vida.


Aims: to identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its associated factors in the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: observational descriptive study conducted with elderly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, in the period 2017-2018, recruited at the Nutrition / Diabetes Outpatient Clinic of the Elderly Care Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco. Gender and age group were collected, and for the anthropometric evaluation of the participants, the body mass index and waist circumference were measured. We also collected the values of total cholesterol and fractions, as well as fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and previous diagnosis of hypertension. To analyze the obtained data, Student's t-test, Pearson's chi-square and Mann-Whitney test were used. For the analyzes, a confidence interval of 95% and a significance level of 0.05 were adopted.Results: the sample consisted of 273 participants, with a mean age of 68.77±5.65 years and 89.8% (n=158) presented metabolic syndrome. The presence of this condition was associated with higher values of body weight (p=0.04), body mass index (p= 0.003), waist circumference (p<0.001) and fasting blood glucose (p=0.007). Conclusions: there was a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the elderly studied with this condition associated with higher values of body weight, body mass index, waist circumference and fasting glucose. These findings demonstrate the importance of early identification and preventive inter-vention of these conditions in the elderly population, reducing morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events and improving the quality of life in the elderly.
