ABSTRACT
Aims: This study promoted a screening of the geographical distribution and scientific production of the Brazilian research groups on interventions with diet and/or exercise in cancer. Methods: A systematic search on the current basis of the Directory of Research Groups of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development was done to collect information such as name of group; name of leader; unit of federation; institution; year of creation; number of researchers, students and technicians; and the group's knowledge sub-area. All leaders' curricula were accessed to screen their general publications on cancer and their specific publications on nutrition, exercise and cancer. The publications were classified according to the QUALIS (2015) criteria of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel in the Physical Education area. Results: The Southeast has the highest number of active groups, but the North has no registered groups. The Midwest concentrates the largest number of members in its research groups and the largest overall scientific production on cancer, but the Southeast presents the largest specific production on nutrition, physical exercise and cancer. Most of the specific publications were B2. Conclusion: Research groups and scientific contributions involving this knowledge field need to be encouraged and better distributed geographically throughout the Brazilian territory.(AU)

Avaliar a associação entre esteatose hepática não alcoólica (EHNA), síndrome metabólica (SM) e fatores de risco cardiovascular (FRCs) em adolescentes obesos. Métodos: Estudo observacional do tipo transversal com abordagem quantitativa, realizado de junho a agosto de 2011. Os voluntários foram aleatoriamente selecionados e encaminhados para avaliação clínica no setor de endocrinologia e cardiologia do hospital de clínicas da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Participaram 34 adolescentes de 14 a 19 anos, acima do percentil 95 da curva de crescimento. A EHNA foi analisada por ultrassonografia. A SM e os FRCs foram identificados pelos critérios da International Diabetes Federation. Resultados: A amostra foi composta de 14 indivíduos do sexo masculino e 20 do sexo feminino, com idade (16,8±1,6) e índice de massa corporal (IMC) (35,7±3,9). A ocorrência de EHNA e SM foi de 76,5% (n=26) e 50% (n=17), respectivamente. O sexo masculino apresentou maior ocorrência de EHNA (78,6%, n=11), SM (64,3%, n=09) e associação de EHNA com SM (50%, n=07). Em relação aos FRCs 100% (n=34), 61,8% (n=21) e 52,9% (n=18) dos adolescentes apresentaram valores aumentados da circunferência da cintura (CC), da lowdensity- lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) e pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), respectivamente, e 52,9% (n=18) apresentaram baixos valores de high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Houve correlações entre SM e triglicerídeos, PAS e diastólica e HDL-C, e entre EHNA, IMC e CC. Conclusão: Observou-se uma alta ocorrência de EHNA, SM e FRCs em adolescentes obesos. Uma forte correlação foi observada entre EHNA e SM, e entre FRCs com EHNA e SM...
To evaluate the association between nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis (NAHS),metabolic syndrome (MS) and cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) in obese adolescents.Methods: Cross-sectional observational study with a quantitative approach, carried out from June to August 2011. The volunteers were randomly selected and referred to clinical evaluation in the endocrinology and cardiology units at the clinics hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia, being included 34 adolescents of 14-19 years above the 95th percentile of the growth curve. NAHS was assessed by ultrasonography. The MS and CRF were diagnosed by the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Results: The sample consisted of 14 male and 20 female patients aged 16.8 ± 1.6 and body mass index (BMI) of 35.7 ± 3.9. The occurrence of NAHS and MS was 76.5% and 50%, respectively. Males had a higher incidence of NAHS (78.6%), SM (64.3%) and association of NAHS with MS (50%). Regarding the CRF, 100% (n=34), 61.8% (n=21) and 52.9% (n=18) of the adolescents had elevated values of waist circumference (WC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and systolic blood pressure (SBP), respectively, and 52.9% (n=18) showed low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). There were correlations between MS and triglycerides; systolic and diastolic blood pressure and HDL-C; and between NAHS and BMI and WC. Conclusion: A high occurrence of NAHS, SM and CRF was observed in obese adolescents. A strong correlation was observed between MS and NAHS, and between FRC and NAHS and SM...
