ABSTRACT

Resumo O consumo excessivo de carnes, em especial as vermelhas e processadas, está associado ao aumento da morbi-mortalidade. O padrão de consumo de carnes varia no Brasil e no mundo influenciado por fatores econômicos e culturais. O estudo buscou analisar o consumo de carnes por adultos e idosos de uma cidade de colonização alemã do sul do Brasil. Trata-se de estudo populacional seccional. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficas e de consumo de carne por Questionário de Frequência Alimentar previamente validado. Foram analisadas as frequências, e as quantidades por tipo de carne e processamento. A associação entre o consumo excessivo de carne e as variáveis de estudo foi estimada por Razão de Prevalência. Entre os 1.941 participantes, a média de carne consumida foi de 250 g/dia, sendo a carne não processada branca (138 g/dia) a mais consumida, com destaque para as aves (80 g/dia). A prevalência de consumo excessivo de carne vermelha e processada (mais que 500 g/semana) foi de 63%, principalmente entre os homens (RP=1,6; IC95% 1,5-1,8), de 20 a 29 anos (RP=1,4; IC95% 1,2-1,5), e mais alta classe econômica (RP=1,2; IC95% 1,0-1,3). O consumo excessivo de carne vermelha e processada entre homens jovens de classe econômica alta deve ser alvo de ações de saúde pública para a adequação no consumo alimentar.


Abstract Excessive meat consumption, especially red and processed meats, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The pattern of meat consumption varies in Brazil and is influenced by economic and cultural factors in the world. The study aimed to analyze the consumption of meat by adults and the elderly in a city colonized by Germans in the south of Brazil. It involved a cross-sectional population study. Sociodemographic and meat consumption data were collected using a previously validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Frequencies and amounts were analyzed by type of meat and processing. The association between excessive meat consumption and the study variables was estimated by Prevalence Ratio. Among the 1,941 participants, the average amount of meat consumed was 250 g/day, the most consumed being white unprocessed meat (138 g/day), especially poultry (80 g/day). The prevalence of excessive consumption of red and processed meat (more than 500 g/week) was 63%, mainly among men (PR=1.6; 95%CI 1.5-1.8), aged 20 to 29 years (PR=1.4; 95%CI 1.2-1.5), and higher economic class (PR=1.2; 95%CI 1.0-1.3). Excessive consumption of red and processed meat among young men of upper economic class should be the target of public health actions for the adequacy of food consumption.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento Embora os ácidos graxos poli-insaturados ômega-3 e ômega-6 (AGPIs n-3 e n-6) tenham efeitos bem conhecidos sobre os fatores de risco de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV), ainda existe um conhecimento limitado sobre como eles afetam os indicadores de qualidade da LDL. Objetivo Avaliar as associações dos AGPIs n-3 e n-6 de hemácias com o tamanho da partícula da LDL, LDL-c pequena e densa (sdLDL-c) e com LDL eletronegativa [LDL(-)] em adultos com fatores de risco para DCV. Métodos Estudo transversal com 335 homens e mulheres de 30 a 74 anos com, pelo menos, um fator de risco cardiovascular. Foram realizadas análises de parâmetros bioquímicos, como glicose, insulina, HbA1c, proteína C reativa (PCR), perfil lipídico, subfrações de lipoproteínas, partícula eletronegativa de LDL [LDL(-)] e seu autoanticorpo, e os AGPIs n-3 e n- 6 de hemácias. Os testes t independente/teste de Mann-Whitney, ANOVA unidirecional/teste de Kruskal-Wallis e regressões lineares múltiplas foram aplicados. Todos os testes foram bilaterais e um valor de p inferior a 0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo. Resultados A relação n-6/n-3 de hemácias foi associada ao aumento dos níveis de LDL(-) (β = 4,064; IC de 95% = 1,381 - 6,748) e sdLDL-c (β = 1,905; IC de 95% = 0,863 - 2,947), e redução do tamanho das partículas de LDL (β = -1,032; IC de 95% = -1,585 − -0,478). Individualmente, os AGPIs n-6 e n-3 apresentaram associações opostas com esses parâmetros, realçando os efeitos protetores do n-3 e evidenciando os possíveis efeitos adversos do n-6 na qualidade das partículas de LDL. Conclusão O AGPI n-6, presente nas hemácias, foi associado ao aumento do risco cardiometabólico e à aterogenicidade das partículas de LDL, enquanto o AGPI n-3 foi associado a melhores parâmetros cardiometabólicos e à qualidade das partículas de LDL.


Abstract Background While Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 and n-6 PUFAs) have established effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, little is known about their impacts on LDL quality markers. Objective To assess the associations of n-3 and n-6 PUFA within red blood cells (RBC) with LDL particle size, small dense LDL-c (sdLDL-c), and electronegative LDL [LDL(-)] in adults with CVD risk factors. Methods Cross-sectional study involving 335 men and women aged 30 to 74 with at least one cardiovascular risk factor. Analyses were conducted on biochemical parameters, such as glucose, insulin, HbA1c, C-reactive protein (CRP), lipid profile, lipoprotein subfractions, electronegative LDL particle [LDL(-)] and its autoantibody, and RBC n-3 and n-6 PUFAs. Independent t-test/Mann-Whitney test, one-way ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis test, and multiple linear regressions were applied. All tests were two-sided, and a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The RBC n-6/n-3 ratio was associated with increased LDL(-) (β = 4.064; 95% CI = 1.381 - 6.748) and sdLDL-c (β = 1.905; 95% CI = 0.863 - 2.947) levels, and reduced LDL particle size (β = -1.032; 95% CI = -1.585 − -0.478). Separately, n-6 and n-3 PUFAs had opposing associations with those parameters, reinforcing the protective effects of n-3 and showing the potential negative effects of n-6 on LDL particle quality. Conclusion RBC n-6 PUFA was associated with increased cardiometabolic risk and atherogenicity of LDL particles, while n-3 PUFA was associated with better cardiometabolic parameters and LDL particle quality.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento Vários estudos têm associado o consumo de ácidos graxos saturados (AGSs) com risco cardiovascular, mas ainda existem muitas controvérsias. A maioria desses estudos avaliou os efeitos do ácido palmítico sobre lipídios circulantes. O ácido esteárico geralmente apresenta um efeito neutro sobre os lipídios sanguíneos, mas faltam estudos clínicos avaliando sua relação com marcadores de inflamação e de disfunção endotelial. Objetivos Avaliar a associação de AGSs das hemácias (ácido palmítico e ácido esteárico) com biomarcadores inflamatórios e de disfunção endotelial circulantes. Métodos Estudo transversal que incluiu 79 adultos de ambos os sexos com pelo menos um fator de risco cardiovascular, mas sem eventos prévios (infarto agudo do miocárdio ou acidente vascular cerebral). Biomarcadores plasmáticos - lipídios, marcadores glicometabólicos, proteína C ultrassensível (PCR-us), Interleucina 6 (IL-6), Interleucina 10 (IL-10), Fator de Necrose Tumoral-α (TNF-α), Proteína quimioatraente de Monócitos 1 (MCP-1) - e ácidos graxos das hemácias (ácidos palmítico e esteárico) foram analisados. As associações foram avaliadas por análises de correlações e regressões lineares múltiplas, com significância estatística estabelecida em p<0,05. Resultados O ácido palmítico não apresentou associações com fatores de risco cardiovasculares ou com marcadores inflamatórios. Por outro lado, o ácido esteárico foi inversamente correlacionado com PCR-us, IL-6 e TNF-α, mas independentemente associado com PCR-us, IL-6, e TNF-α. Conclusão O ácido esteárico está associado com biomarcadores inflamatórios e disfunção endotelial em indivíduos com um ou mais fatores de risco cardiovascular.


Abstract Background Several studies have associated dietary saturated fatty acids (SFAs) with cardiovascular risk but there are still many controversies. Most of these studies have focused on the effects of palmitic acid on circulating lipids. Stearic acid usually shows a neutral effect on blood lipids, however, there is a lack of clinical studies assessing the link with inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction markers. Objective To evaluate the association of red blood cell (RBC) SFA (palmitic and stearic acids) with circulating inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers. Methods Cross-sectional study of 79 adults of both sexes with at least one cardiovascular risk factor but without previous events (acute myocardial infarction or stroke). Plasma biomarkers - lipids, glucometabolic markers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) - and RBC palmitic and stearic fatty acids were analyzed. The associations were assessed by correlation and multiple linear regression analyses, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results Palmitic acid showed no significant associations with traditional cardiovascular risk factors or inflammatory markers. Stearic acid, on the other hand, was inversely correlated with blood cholesterol and triglycerides, but independently associated with hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α. Conclusion Stearic acid is associated with inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers in individuals with at least one cardiovascular risk factor.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with several metabolic diseases. The triglycerides (TG) disrupt the cholesterol reverse transport and contribute to increased levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). High-density lipoprotein (HDL) acts in cholesterol reverse transport as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. This study aims to investigate the role of hypertriglyceridemia in the functionality of HDL. Individuals were divided into 4 groups based on high or low HDL-c and triglycerides levels. Biochemical and anthropometric analysis were performed. This study demonstrated that triglycerides promote dysfunctions on HDL, increasing the cardiovascular risk. Blood pressure was higher in subjects with low HDL. Women presented higher levels of HDL-c and low percentage of fat mass. The highest levels of triglycerides were observed in older age. In addition, high levels of triglycerides were associated with higher total cholesterol and LDL-c levels, non-HDL-c, non-esterified fatty acids, and blood glucose, increasing in the ratio of non-HDL-c/HDL-c and ApoB/ApoA-I. The increase of triglycerides levels progressively impairs the antioxidant capacity of HDL, probably due to a higher occurrence of fatty acid peroxidation in individuals with hypertriglyceridemia. Patients with high HDL and low TG levels increased the Lag Time. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between TG versus HDL particle size, variables that depend on age and anthropometric parameters.

ABSTRACT

As emergências cardiológicas podem causar rápidas e profundas alterações na resposta metabólica e sistêmica. Essas alterações contribuem acentuadamente para a mobilização das reservas corporais que repercutirão no estado nutricional. A avaliação nutricional, ainda que não seja realizada na fase crítica da assistência interdisciplinar, deverá ser realizada o quanto antes, visando a adoção da alimentação adequada e reposição hídrica e de eletrólitos. O uso de ferramentas subjetivas capazes de estimar o risco nutricional global é de fácil aplicação devido a sua praticidade e rapidez. Entre essas destaca-se o Nutritional Risk Score ­ NRS 2002. Sempre que possível, a avaliação nutricional global deve ser complementada pela avaliação nutricional objetiva e pelo uso de marcadores nutricionais bioquímicos, os quais auxiliarão na avaliação mais precisa do estado nutricional do paciente crítico. Essas ferramentas devem ser utilizadas por nutricionistas treinados e os resultados devem ser discutidos pela equipe multidisciplinar de terapia nutricional que decidirá as estratégias mais adequadas para o início da terapia nutricional precoce nos quadros de emergências cardiológicas


Cardiac emergencies can cause rapid and profound changes in the metabolic and systemic response. These changes contribute significantly to the mobilization of body reserves, which will affect nutritional status. Nutritional evaluation, although not performed in the critical phase of interdisciplinary care, should be carried out as early as possible in order to ensure an adequate diet, and water and electrolyte replacement. The use of subjective tools capable of estimating the global nutritional risk is easy to apply due to its effective and rapid application. One such tool is the Nutritional Risk Score ­ NRS 2002. Whenever possible, the global nutritional assessment should be complemented with objective nutritional assessment and the use of biochemical nutritional markers, which will help obtain a more accurate evaluation of the nutritional status of the critically ill patient. These tools should be applied by trained nutritionists, and the results should be discussed by the multidisciplinary nutritional therapy team, which will decide on the most appropriate strategies for the initiation of early nutritional therapy in cardiac emergency situations

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Lipid accumulation product (LAP), a simple and low-cost tool, is a novel biomarker of central lipid accumulation and represents a potential surrogate marker for atherogenic lipoprotein profile. However, its association with lipoprotein subfractions has not been described in the literature. Objective: To determine whether LAP index could be used as a marker of low- and high-density lipoprotein (LDL and HDL) size in Brazilian individuals. Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients (n = 351) of both sexes and age between 30-74 years. Clinical and sociodemographic data and family history of diseases were evaluated. Lipoprotein size, and levels of total cholesterol (TC), lipoproteins, apolipoprotein AI and B (APO AI/APO B), glucose, insulin, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) were assessed in blood samples. LAP was calculated by the formulas [(waist circumference[cm]-58) × (triglycerides[mmol/L]) for women and (waist circumference [cm]-65) × (triglycerides [mmol/L]) for men]. The association between LAP and metabolic parameters were tested by linear trend (general linear model, GLM test) before and after multiple adjustments for potential confounders (sex, age, smoking, statin, fibrate, and hypoglycemic drugs) at significant level p < 0.05. Results: LAP was positively associated with TC, APO B, NEFA, glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR values, and negatively associated with HDL-C. Higher central lipid accumulation was corelated with higher percentage of intermediate HDL and of small LDL and HDL and less amount of large HDL. LDL size was also reduced in greater LAP index values. The negative impact of LAP was maintained after adjustment for multiple variables. Conclusion: LAP was robustly associated with atherogenic profile of lipoprotein subfractions, independently of multiple confounders.


Resumo Fundamento: O produto de acumulação lipídica (LAP), um instrumento simples e de baixo custo, é um novo biomarcador de acúmulo de gordura central e representa um marcador substituto potencial para o perfil aterogênico de lipoproteínas. No entanto, sua associação com subfrações de lipoproteínas ainda não foi descrita na literatura. Objetivo: Determinar se o LAP pode ser usado como um marcador de tamanho da lipoproteína de baixa densidade (LDL) e de alta densidade (HDL) em indivíduos brasileiros. Métodos: Este estudo transversal incluiu 351 pacientes de ambos os sexos e idade entre 30 e 74 anos. Dados clínicos e sociodemográficos e história familiar de doenças foram avaliados. O tamanho das lipoproteínas, e níveis de colesterol total (CT), lipoproteínas, apolipoproteína AI e B (APO AI/APO B), glicose, ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNEs) e insulina, e índice de resistência insulínica (HOMA-IR) foram avaliados em amostras de sangue. O LAP foi calculado utilizando-se as fórmulas (circunferência da cintura (cm]-58) × (triglicerídeos[mmol/L]) para mulheres e (circunferência da cintura[cm]-65) × (triglicerídeos [mmol/L]) para homens. Associações entre LAP e parâmetros metabólicos foram testadas por tendência linear (modelo linear generalizado, GLM) antes e após ajustes por fatores de confusão (sexo, idade, tabagismo, uso de estatinas, fibratos e hipoglicemiantes) ao nível de significância de p < 0,05). Resultados: LAP apresentou uma associação positiva com CT, APO B, AGNEs, glicose, insulina, HOMA-IR, e uma associação negativa com HDL-C. Maior acúmulo de gordura central correlacionou-se com maior porcentagem de HDL intermediária e de partículas pequenas de LDL e HDL, e menor porcentagem de HDL grande. O tamanho da LDL também era reduzido em valores de LAP mais elevados. O impacto negativo do LAP foi mantido após ajuste para múltiplas variáveis. Conclusão: o LAP esteve fortemente associado com o perfil aterogênico de subfrações de lipoproteínas, independetemente dos fatores de confusão.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate biomarkers associated with early cardiometabolic risk in obese adolescents. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 137 adolescents of both sexes aged 10 to 19 years divided into a normal weight group (NW) (n=69) and an obese group (OB) (n=68). RESULTS: As expected, obesity showed positive associations with homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triacylglycerol, insulin, plasma levels of non-esterified fatty acids, and cholesterol ester transfer protein activity and negative associations with plasma antioxidant levels. Plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and electronegative low-density lipoprotein [LDL(-)] levels were significantly higher in the OB group. Higher tertiles of oxLDL were associated with increased values of body mass index; waist circumference; fatty mass percentage (%FM); and the atherogenic lipids non-high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B and triacylglycerol. Higher tertiles of LDL(-) were robustly associated with body mass index and waist circumference. Logistic regression models (odds ratios) confirmed that increased values of lipids and apolipoprotein B were associated with increased risk of oxLDL. For LDL(-), these associations were not significant, suggesting that another mechanism is involved in generating this particle in obese adolescents. CONCLUSIONS: Obese adolescents showed increased plasma LDL(-) and oxLDL, and obese girls had more LDL(-) than obese boys. Therefore, oxLDL is strongly and independently associated with classical cardiovascular risk factors, while increased levels of LDL(-) were influenced by body mass index, waist circumference and demographic parameters in obese adolescents.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop a graphical representation in the form of a food pyramid for a ketogenic diet for dietary treatment in children and adolescents with refractory epilepsy. Methods: The pyramid was constructed based on: the estimation of energy requirements for different age groups, macronutrient distribution, food groups, and the number of servings and respective amounts of food according to the ketogenic diet. Serving sizes were based on the calculation of energy and macronutrient requirements according to age and nutritional status. Results: The pyramid was divided into three tiers and 5 food groups (fats, proteins, type 1 vegetables, type 2 vegetables, and fruits). Four portion size lists were defined for the following age groups: 1-3 years, 4-6 years, 7-10 years, and 11-19 years. Conclusion: The ketogenic diet food pyramid can be used as nutritional guidance for patients undergoing this dietary therapy by illustrating the variety of foods that can be eaten during the treatment, optimizing adherence to the treatment, and guaranteeing beneficial effects on seizure control.


RESUMO Objetivo: Desenvolver uma representação gráfica sob a forma de pirâmide alimentar para a dieta cetogênica destinada a crianças e adolescentes com indicação de tratamento dietético da epilepsia refratária. Métodos: A construção foi baseada na estimativa da necessidade energética por faixa etária, na distribuição de macronutrientes, nos grupos alimentares, no número de porções e nas respectivas quantidades de alimentos a serem ofertados de forma a atender as recomendações da dieta cetogênica. O porcionamento dos alimentos foi feito baseado no cálculo da necessidade energética e na distribuição de macronutriente segundo a faixa etária e estado nutricional. Resultados: A pirâmide foi dividida em três estratos e em cinco grupos alimentares (gorduras, proteínas, hortaliças tipo 1, hortaliças tipo 2 e frutas). Foram elaboradas quatro listas de porcionamento para as seguintes faixas etárias 1 a 3 anos, 4 a 6 anos, 7 a 10 anos e 11 a 19 anos. Conclusão: A utilização da pirâmide alimentar da dieta cetogênica facilitará a orientação inicial dos pacientes submetidos a essa terapia nutricional, ilustrando a diversidade de alimentos que podem ser ofertados durante o tratamento e otimizando, assim, a aderência ao mesmo e a manutenção dos efeitos benéficos de controle de crises.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective The goal of this study was evaluate the conicity index (C index) in women and its association with hypertension (SAH) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Subjects and methods This was a cross-sectional study, with 573 women between 20 and 59 years of age. After analysis of clinical and demographic characteristics, anthropometric variables were measured and used to calculate the C index. Plasma glucose and lipid profile were evaluated by standard methods. The analysis of the results was based on logistic regression and the odds ratio (OR) was calculated, which was used to assess the association of the variable outcome with the variable exposure using two logistic regression models that tested the possible influence of the C index in the chance of developing SAH or DM. A confidence interval of 95% was used. Results In the crude and adjusted models, the OR confirmed the association of the C index with DM and SAH. Compared with women that showed C index p < 75, the risk of women with C index (p ≥ 75) developing DM and SAH was 1.72 and 1.75, respectively. Results demonstrated that the negative impact of age on these associations significantly raised the odds of women having DM and SAH. The high C index was also linked to low HDL-C. Conclusion The C index is an important tool in estimating the risk of diabetes and hypertension in women. Besides, high C indexes are negatively associated with HDL-C, an important lipid marker related to cardiovascular risk.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar o efeito da suplementação com ômega-3 nas subfrações das lipoproteínas de alta densidade em indivíduos tabagistas. Métodos Ensaio clínico, randomizado, duplo-cego. Foi selecionada uma amostra com 33 tabagistas, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 30 e 60 anos, suplementados com ômega-3 (n=17) ou placebo (ácidos graxos ômega-6, n=16) por dois meses. As subfrações das lipoproteínas de alta densidade foram analisadas pelo sistema Lipoprint. Os testes estatísticos foram realizados com o auxílio do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versão 20.0. Resultados A média de idade foi 49 anos, com predominância da raça branca. Após a intervenção, o grupo ômega-3 modificou positivamente o perfil lipídico e as subfrações das lipoproteínas de alta densidade dos tabagistas. Nos modelos de regressão linear testados, o percentual de ácido docosahexaenoico plasmático apresentou associações negativas com o percentual das lipoproteínas de alta densidade-pequena. Conclusão A suplementação com ômega-3 está associada a uma alteração favorável na distribuição das subfrações das lipoproteínas de alta densidade, aumentando as lipoproteínas de alta densidade-grande e diminuindo as lipoproteínas de alta densidade-pequena. Isso reforça a importância do ômega-3 na saúde cardiovascular de indivíduos tabagistas.


ABSTRACT Objective To assess the effect of omega-3 supplementation on smokers' high density lipoprotein subfractions. Methods This randomized, double-blind clinical trial included 33 male and female smokers aged 30 to 60 years. The sample took omega-3 fatty acids (n=17) or placebo (omega-6 fatty acids, n=16) for two months. The Lipoprint system analyzed the high density lipoprotein subfractions. The statistical tests were performed by the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 20.0. Results The mean age of the sample was 49 years, and most individuals were white. After the intervention, the lipid profile and high density lipoprotein subfractions of the omega-3 group improved. In the tested linear regression models, the percentage of plasma docosahexaenoic acid was negatively associated with the percentage of small high density lipoprotein. Conclusion Omega-3 supplementation is associated with a favorable change in the distribution of high density lipoprotein subfractions, increasing the large and reducing the small high density lipoproteins. This finding reinforces the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for smokers' cardiovascular health.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A quimioterapia aparece como promotora do aumento no peso e no percentual de gordura, os quais estão em conexão com o desenvolvimento da carcinogênese mamária. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência do tratamento antineoplásico sobre a composição corporal e vetores de impedância bioelétrica em mulheres com neoplasia da mama. Método: Estudo observacional, tipo antes e depois, realizado de março de 2012 a junho de 2013, no Hospital Geral de Fortaleza (Ceará, Brasil), com 30 mulheres com tumor na mama, avaliadas após o diagnóstico e antes do tratamento antineoplásico (M1), e após o tratamento antineoplásico (M2). Coletaram-se dados antropométricos, de composição corporal e valores de resistência (R) e reactância (Xc) para análise vetorial de impedância bioelétrica (BIVA). Resultados: Os percentuais de gordura corporal estiveram acima do recomendado nos dois momentos [M1= 35,6% (4,9) e M2= 35,3% (4,7)] e os valores de massa magra foram, respectivamente, 64,3% (4,9), 64,6% (4,7) sem diferenças significativas. A Reactância (p=0,001) e o ângulo de fase (p=0,000) apresentaram-se diminuídos no M2. Os vetores de impedância, quando comparados M1 e M2, não mostraram deslocamento significativo (p=0,053). Entretanto, ao serem comparados com o vetor médio de uma população de referência, apresentaram deslocamento significativo antes (T2=95,2; p=0,000) e após (T2=53,2; p=0,000) o tratamento antineoplásico, indicando alterações nas propriedades elétricas dos tecidos, retenção hídrica e perda de massa celular. Conclusão: A composição corporal não se alterou após o tratamento antineoplásico. As modificações nos vetores de impedância foram sugestivas de alterações nas propriedades elétricas dos tecidos, indicando pior prognóstico clínico.


Introduction: Chemotherapy appears to promote increased weight and fat percentage, which are in connection with the development of mammary carcinogenesis. Objective: To evaluate the influence of the anti-cancer treatment on body composition and bioelectrical impedance vectors in women with breast cancer. Method: Observational study, both before and after, held from March 2012 to June 2013 at the General Hospital of Fortaleza (Ceará, Brazil), with 30 women with breast tumors, assessed after diagnosis and before the anti-cancer treatment (M1), and after the anticancer treatment (M2). The study collected anthropometric data, body composition and resistance values (R) and reactance (Xc) for vector analysis of bioelectrical impedance (BIVA). Results: The percentage of body fat was above the recommended levels in both instances [M1 = 35.6% (4.9) and M2 = 35.3% (4.7)] and lean body mass values were, respectively, 64 3% (4.9) 64.6% (4.7), without significant differences. The reactance (p=0.001) and the phase angle (p = 0.000) had become reduced in M2. The impedance vectors, when M1 and M2 were compared, showed no significant shift (p=0,053). However, when compared with the mean vector of a reference population, it presented a significant displacement before (T2=95,2; p=0,000) and after (T2=53,2; p=0,000) the antineoplastic treatment, indicating alterations in the electrical properties of the tissue, fluid retention and loss of cell mass. Conclusion: Body composition did not change after the anti-cancer treatment. Changes in impedance vectors were suggestive of changes in the electrical properties of tissue, indicating a poorer clinical prognosis.


Introducción: Quimioterapia promueve el aumento en porcentaje en peso y la grasa corporal que están en conexión con el desarrollo de la carcinogénesis mamaria. Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia del tratamiento antineoplásico en la composición corporal y en la bioimpedancia vectorial eléctrica en mujeres con cáncer de mama. Método: Estudio observacional incluyendo el antes y el después, llevado de marzo de 2012 a junio de 2013 en el Hospital Geral de Fortaleza (Ceará, Brasil), con 30 mujeres con tumores de mama, evaluadas después del diagnóstico y antes del tratamiento antineoplásico (M1) y después del tratamiento antineoplásico (M2). Fueron recogidos los datos antropométricos, la composición corporal y valores de resistencia (R) y de reactancia (Xc) para Análisis de Bioimpedancia Vectorial Eléctrica (BIVA). Resultados: Los porcentajes de grasa corporal estuvieron por encima de los niveles recomendados en ambos momentos [M1=35,6%(4,9) y M2=35,3%(4,7)] y los valores de masa corporal magra fueron, respectivamente, 64,3% (4,9) 64,6% (4,7), sin diferencias significativas. La reactancia (p=0,001) y el ángulo de fase (p=0,000) se redujeron en M2. Los vectores de impedancia cuando se comparan M1 y M2 no mostraron cambio significativo (p = 0,053). Sin embargo, cuando se compara con el vector medio de una población de referencia, dichos vectores mostraron un cambio significativo antes (T2=95,2; p=0,000) y después (T2=53,2; p=0,000) del tratamiento antineoplásico, lo que indica cambios en las propiedades eléctricas del tejido, retención de líquidos y la pérdida de masa celular. Conclusión: La composición corporal no cambió después del tratamiento antineoplásico. Los cambios en los vectores de impedancia son indicadores de los cambios en las propiedades eléctricas de los tejidos, lo que indica un peor pronóstico clínico.

ABSTRACT

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the association between Lipid Accumulation Product and biochemical markers and verify how it is affected by sex, age and medication use. Methods:This is a cross-sectional study including biochemical, clinical, demographic and anthropometric data from 617 individuals, both sexes, between 20 and 59 years old, without previous cardiovascular event.Data was collected between 2000 and 2014. The influence of Lipid Accumulation Product on the biochemical variables levels was assessed by multiple linear regression analysis for men and women. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS version 20.0 software at significance level of p<0.05. Results:Both sexes presented overweight and increased waist circumference.The median Lipid Accumulation Product was 57.8 and men showed higher values than women. In both sexes, the Lipid Accumulation Product significantly influenced the total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein levels and these results were adjustment variables (age and hypolipidemic agents) independent. Conclusions:Results showed that Lipid Accumulation Product was associated with low HDL levels and increased concentrations of TC regardless of sexes, age and lipid-lowering drugs

ABSTRACT

A ketogenic diet is an important therapy used in the control of drug-refractory seizures. Many studies have shown that children and adolescents following ketogenic diets exhibit an over 50% reduction in seizure frequency, which is considered to be clinically relevant. These benefits are based on a diet containing high fat (approximately 90% fat) for 24 months. This dietary model was proposed in the 1920s and has produced variable clinical responses. Previous studies have shown that the mechanisms underlying seizure control involve ketone bodies, which are produced by fatty acid oxidation. Although the pathways involved in the ketogenic diet are not entirely clear, the main effects of the production of ketone bodies appear to be neurotransmitter modulation and antioxidant effects on the brain. This review highlights the impacts of the ketogenic diet on the modulation of neurotransmitters, levels of biogenic monoamines and protective antioxidant mechanisms of neurons. In addition, future perspectives are proposed. .

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Apesar da importância da resistência à insulina (RI) no desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas, seu diagnóstico envolve demandas invasivas. Assim, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de métodos alternativos para predizer RI na prática clínica, sendo os indicadores antropométricos uma alternativa. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o comportamento desses indicadores com relação ao HOMA-IR (Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance). Materiais e métodos: Coletaram-se peso, altura e circunferência da cintura de 148 adolescentes. A partir destes, calcularam-se índice de massa corporal (IMC), índice de massa corporal invertido (IMCi), relação cintura-estatura (RCE) e índice de conicidade (IC). Coletaram-se ainda dados de composição corporal (percentual de gordura corporal – %GC), por meio de bioimpedância elétrica, e dados bioquímicos (glicemia e insulinemia de jejum) empregados no cálculo do HOMA-IR. O ponto de corte para o HOMA-IR adotado foi de 2,39±1,93. A análise estatística envolveu a correlação de Spearman, a construção de modelos de regressão linear múltiplos e curvas ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic), com IC de 95%. Utilizou-se o pacote estatístico SPSS v.18.0, considerando p<0,05 como nível de significância. Resultados Todos os indicadores antropométricos estavam estatisticamente correlacionados de forma positiva ao HOMA-IR. A curva ROC mostrou que CC, RCE e IC, nesta ordem, apresentaram-se mais eficazes em predizer RI. Conclusão Entre os indicadores estudados, aqueles relacionados ao acúmulo de gordura central parecem os mais indicados para predizer RI. .


Objective Despite the importance of insulin resistance (IR) on chronic diseases development, its diagnosis remains invasive. Thus, it’s necessary to develop alternative methods to predict IR on clinical practice, and the anthropometric indices are a good alternative to it. Given that, this study’s purpose is to evaluate these indices behavior in relation to HOMA-IR (Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance). Materials and methods: We collected weight, height and waist circumference from 148 adolescents. Through these indices, we calculated the body mass index (BMI), inverted body mass index (iBMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and conicity index (C index). We also collected data from body composition (body fat percentage – %BF), through electric impedance, and biochemical data (fasting glucose and insulin levels) employed on the HOMA-IR calculation. The HOMA-IR cutoff adopted was of 2.39±1.93. The statistical analysis involved the Spearman correlation analysis, multiple linear regression models and ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves construction, using 95% CI. We used the statistic pack SPSS v.18, considering p<0.05 as the significance level. Results All anthropometric indices were statistically and positively correlated to HOMA-IR. The ROC curve showed that WC, WHtR and C index, in this order, were the most efficient to predict IR. Conclusion Among the indicators studied, those related to central fat accumulation seem the most suitable for predicting IR. .

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar os fatores que influenciam na adequação da terapia nutricional enteral em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo e observacional realizado em uma unidade de terapia intensiva entre 2010 e 2012. Foram incluídos pacientes >18 anos em terapia nutricional enteral exclusiva por ≥72 horas. As necessidades de energia e proteínas foram calculadas segundo protocolo da unidade. Foram coletados diariamente dados relacionados à nutrição enteral, causas de não conformidade e exames bioquímicos. Resultados: Dentre os pacientes internados na unidade, 93 foram avaliados, 82% iniciaram a terapia nutricional enteral precocemente e 80% atingiram a meta nutricional em <36 horas. Foram administrados 81,6% (±15,4) de volume de terapia nutricional enteral, com adequação de 82,2% (±16,0) de calorias, 82,2% (±15,9) de proteínas e balanço energético médio de -289,9 kcal/dia (±277,1). Houve correlação negativa da proteína C-reativa com o volume administrado e os balanços energético e proteico, e correlação positiva com o tempo para atingir a meta nutricional. A pausa para extubação foi a principal causa de interrupções (29,9% das horas de pausa) e os pacientes >60 anos apresentaram menor porcentagem de recuperação da via oral em relação aos mais jovens (p=0,014). Conclusão: O início precoce da terapia nutricional enteral, e a adequação do volume administrado, de energia e de proteínas estiveram de acordo com as diretrizes. A inadequação dos balanços energético e proteico parece estar associada à resposta inflamatória aguda (proteína C-reativa elevada). A principal causa de interrupção da oferta da terapia nutricional foi a pausa para extubação. .


Objective: To determine the factors that influence the adequacy of enteral nutritional therapy in an intensive care unit. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in an intensive care unit between 2010 and 2012. Patients >18 years of age underwent exclusive enteral nutritional therapy for ≥72 hours. The energy and protein requirements were calculated according to the ICU protocols. The data regarding enteral nutrition, the causes of non-compliance, and the biochemical test results were collected daily. Results: Ninety-three patients admitted to the intensive care unit were evaluated. Among these patients, 82% underwent early enteral nutritional therapy, and 80% reached the nutritional goal in <36 hours. In addition, 81.6%±15.4% of the enteral nutrition volume was infused, with an adequacy of 82.2%±16.0% for calories, 82.2%±15.9% for proteins, and a mean energy balance of -289.9±277.1kcal/day. A negative correlation of C-reactive protein with the volume infused and the energy and protein balance was observed. In contrast, a positive correlation was found between C-reactive protein and the time required to reach nutritional goals. Extubation was the main cause for interrupting the enteral nutritional therapy (29.9% of the interruption hours), and the patients >60 years of age exhibited a lower percentage of recovery of the oral route compared with the younger patients (p=0.014). Conclusion: Early enteral nutritional therapy and the adequacy for both energy and protein of the nutritional volume infused were in accordance with the established guidelines. Possible inadequacies of energy and protein balance appeared to be associated with an acute inflammatory response, which was characterized by elevated C-reactive protein levels. The main cause of interruption of the enteral nutritional therapy was the time spent in extubation. .

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to validate the intake of carotenoids, fruits and vegetables estimated by the Food Frequency Questionnaire for Adolescents (FFQA) using the method of triads. Blood samples were collected from 80 elementary school adolescents to assess serum levels of β-carotene. Partial correlation coefficients (r) were calculated between an estimated intake of carotenoids, fruits and vegetables and the serum levels of β-carotene. Validity coefficients were calculated using the method of triads. With the exception of carotenoids, partial r from the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were greater than those of the 24-hour recall (24hR). The fruit/vegetable group showed the highest partial r for the FFQ (r = 0.235) and the 24hR (r = 0.137). The highest validity coefficient was obtained for the vegetable group, as assessed by the FFQ (r = 0.873). On average, the validity coefficient values for the FFQ were greater than those obtained for the 24hR or the β-carotene serum levels. The FFQA is an accurate tool for estimating the intake of carotenoids, fruits and vegetables in this population group.


O objetivo do estudo foi validar a ingestão de carotenóides, frutas e hortaliças estimada pelo Questionário de Frequência Alimentar para Adolescentes (QFAA) utilizando o método das tríades. Foram coletadas amostras sanguíneas de 80 adolescentes de uma escola de Ensino Fundamental para análise do b-caroteno plasmático. Coeficientes de correlação (r) parciais foram obtidos entre a ingestão de carotenóides, frutas e hortaliças e o b-caroteno plasmático. Os coeficientes de validade foram estimados a partir do método das tríades. O QFA apresentou valores de r parcial superiores ao recordatório alimentar de 24 horas (R24h), exceto para carotenóides. O grupo das frutas/hortaliças apresentou os maiores valores de r parciais tanto para o questionário de frequência alimentar (QFA) (r = 0,235) quanto para R24h (r = 0,137). O maior coeficiente de validade foi o do grupo de hortaliças avaliado pelo QFA (r = 0,873). Os valores de coeficiente de validade observados para o QFA foram em média superiores aos obtidos para R24h e b-caroteno plasmático. O QFAA é um instrumento com boa acurácia para estimar o consumo de carotenóides, frutas e hortaliças nesse grupo populacional.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTO: Vários estudos sugerem que a proteína-C reativa (PCR) se correlaciona com doença arterial coronariana em adultos. Entretanto, essa associação ainda é pouco explorada em adolescentes. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação entre a PCR e os fatores de risco cardiovascular em adolescentes obesos. MÉTODOS: Oitenta e quatro adolescentes (12,6 ± 1,3 anos), ambos os sexos, foram distribuídos nos grupos Eutrófico (n = 28), Sobrepeso (n = 28) e Obeso (n = 28), segundo o índice de massa corpórea (IMC). A concentração de PCR (ELISA ultrassensível), o perfil lipídico e o conteúdo de anticorpos anti-LDLox (ELISA) foram determinados após jejum de 12h. RESULTADOS: Os grupos foram semelhantes quanto a idade (p = 0,13) e sexo (p = 0,83). Colesterol total, HDL-C, CT/HDL-C e LDL-C/HDL-C apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os grupos Eutrófico e Obeso. Não houve variação significativa no conteúdo de anticorpos anti-LDLox. Os valores de PCR foram diferentes entre os três grupos (p < 0,01). PCR apresentou associação significativa com IMC (β = 2,533), CB (β = 2,645) e CC (β = 2,945), CT (β = 0,006), LDL-C (β = 0,006) e anticorpos anti-LDLox (β = 0,383) e negativa entre HDL-C (β = -0,017). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados indicam que a PCR se associa significativamente com marcadores de risco cardiovascular em adolescentes.


BACKGROUND: Several studies suggest that C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with coronary artery disease in adults. However, this association has not been thoroughly explored in cases of adolescents. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between CRP and cardiovascular risk factors in obese adolescents. METHODS: Eighty-four adolescents (12.6 ± 1.3 years) of both genders were divided into the following groups: Normal weight (n = 28), Overweight (n = 28), and Obese (n = 28), according to body mass index (BMI). CRP levels (ultrasensitive ELISA), the lipid profile, and anti-oxLDL antibody levels (ELISA) were determined after a 12-hour fast. RESULTS: The groups were similar in age (p = 0.13) and gender (p = 0.83). Total cholesterol, HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C showed significant differences between Normal weight and Obese groups. There was no significant variation in anti-oxLDL levels. CRP values were different among the three groups (p < 0.01). CRP levels showed a significant association with BMI (β = 2.533), AC (β = 2.645), WC (β = 2.945), TC (β = 0.006), LDL-C (β = 0.006), and anti-oxLDL antibodies (β = 0.383), and a negative association with HDL-C (β = -0.017). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that CRP is significantly associated with markers of cardiovascular risk in adolescents.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o comportamento alimentar de mulheres com câncer de mama submetidas à quimioterapia, e sua relação com a qualidade de vida destas pacientes. MÉTODOS: A partir de um ensaio clínico do tipo antes e depois, selecionou-se 25 mulheres do Hospital AC Camargo (São Paulo, Brasil) durante o período de outubro de 2005 a abril de 2006. As pacientes inclusas no estudo apresentavam diagnóstico de câncer de mama, com estadiamento I e II e indicação de tratamento quimioterápico adjuvante. Nos momentos T0 (antes) e T1 (após o tratamento quimioterápico), o comportamento alimentar (consumo e aversão alimentar) foi avaliado por três recordatórios 24 horas e um questionário Food Action, respectivamente. A qualidade de vida foi monitorada por meio do questionário Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast. RESULTADOS: Após o tratamento quimioterápico (T1), o consumo de macro e micronutrientes não apresentou alterações significantes, mas o consumo de frutas e sucos aumentou (p=0,03). Perfil inverso foi observado em relação à preferência por café preto (p=0,01) e pelo grupo de bebidas (p<0,001). Alimentos gordurosos (38 por cento), laticínios (23 por cento), café preto (15 por cento), chá (15 por cento), chocolate (7 por cento) e carne vermelha (7 por cento) foram os principais alimentos associados ao desconforto das pacientes. Análises de qualidade de vida mostraram que o tratamento quimioterápico promoveu significante redução no bem estar físico (p<0,01). Após o mesmo, algumas variáveis do comportamento alimentar foram significantemente correlacionadas com os parâmetros de qualidade de vida. CONCLUSÃO: A relação bilateral entre comportamento alimentar e qualidade de vida foi modificada negativamente pelo tratamento quimioterápico.


OBJECTIVE: The objective of this paper was to assess the eating behavior of women with breast cancer subjected to chemotherapy and its relation with the quality of life of these patients. METHODS: A total of 25 women receiving care at the Hospital AC Camargo (SP, Brazil) from October 2005 to April 2006 were selected based on a clinical assay of the before and after type. The patients included in the study were diagnosed with breast cancer, stages I and II and had indication of adjuvant chemotherapy. At the times T0 (before) and T1 (after chemotherapy), the eating behavior (food intake and aversion) was assessed by three 24-hour recalls and the Food Action questionnaire, respectively. Quality of life was monitored through the use of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast questionnaire. RESULTS: After chemotherapy (T1), the intake of macro and micronutrients did not change significantly, but the intake of fruits and juices increased (p=0.03). The opposite was observed regarding the preference for black coffee (p=0.01) and for the beverages group (p<0.001). Fat-rich foods (38 percent), dairy (23 percent), black coffee (15 percent), tea (15 percent), chocolate (7 percent) and red meats (7 percent) were the main foods associated with patient discomfort. Analyses of the quality of life showed that chemotherapy caused a significant reduction of physical well-being (p<0.01). After chemotherapy, some eating behavior variables were significantly correlated with quality of life parameters. CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy caused the bilateral relationship between eating behavior and quality of life to change in a negative manner.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the infl uence of nutrients such as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and antioxidant vitamin (α-tocopherol) on the cardiovascular risk factors (BMI, CC, Total Cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c and anti-LDLox autoantibodies). Data on food intake by 63 individuals at INCOR/SP/Brazil were collected by using 24-hour recalls and diet nutritional analysis (NutWin, version 5.1). After 12h fasting, blood samples were collected and the plasma was analyzed for: lipid profi le (colorimetric methods), autoantibodies against LDLox (ELISA) and α-tocopherol (HPLC). Habitual diet was evaluated by three 24-hour recalls (R24) and the nutritional composition was analyzed by NutWin, version 5.1. The population was divided in quartiles according to the consumption of nutrients and the results indicated that MUFA, PUFA and serum α-tocopherol showed association with the BMI, CC, Total Cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c and anti-LDLox autoantibodies. These associations were signifi cant and negative with consumption. According to our results we can state that these nutrients are capable to modify the cardiovascular risk.


El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia de los ácidos grasos mononsaturados (AGM), polinsaturados (AGP) y antioxidantes(α-tocoferol) sobre los marcadores de riesgo cardiovascular (IMC, CC, Colesterol total, HDL-C, LDL-C y autoanticuerpos anti-LDLox). La dieta habitual de sesenta y tres individuos del INCOR/SP/Brasil fue evaluada por medio de 3 recordatorios de 24h (R24h) y los nutrientes fueron analizados utilizando el programa NutWin, versión 5.1 Después de un ayuno de12h fueron recogidas muestras de sangre. Fueron determinados en el plasma: el perfi l lipidico (método colorimétrico), los autoanticuerposanti-LDLox (ELISA) y el α-tocoferol (HPLC). El análisis en cuartiles mostró que los factores de riesgo cardiovascular (IMC, CC, Colesterol Total, HDL-c, LDL-c y la producción de anticuer pos anti- LDLox) es tabanrelacionados negativamente con los nutrientes (AGM y AGP) evaluados por medio del R24h y con el α-tocoferol, identifi cado como marcadorbioquímico de consumo. De acuerdo con nuestros resultados podemos concluir que estos nutrientes son capaces de modifi car el riesgo para enfermedad cardiovascular.
