To assess the Effectiveness of Early Care Tutoring on the level of knowledge among obese adolescent's mothers between experimental and control group. 5. To correlate the Mean differed score of Quality Of Life, Life Style Behaviors and Biophysiological Outcome among obese adolescents in experimental and control group. Methodology: A quasi experimental research design was adopted.

ABSTRACT
Abstract This systematic review update aimed to search for new evidences about parent-child physical activity among Brazilian studies. A new literature search for Brazilian studies published until 31 December 2019 was performed in the databases Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs, Sport Discus, and SciELO by the combination of descriptors regarding children and adolescents, physical activity, and parental support, restricted to English and Portuguese language. As result, only one new study were included besides those from previous review which corroborated with previous findings about positive relationship of parent-child physical activity. The included studies (n=14) were presented according to geographical distribution, year of publication, research design and physical activity assessment method. Limitations and future directions about specific physical activity domains and weekly amount, as well as peers and environmental support were highlighted. This review findings reinforced that parental lifestyle behavior is an important factor for active lifestyle promotion among Brazilian children and adolescents.
Resumo Esta atualização de revisão sistemática teve como objetivo buscar por novas evidências acerca da prática de atividade física de pais e filhos em estudos brasileiros. Uma nova busca na literatura por estudos brasileiros publicados até 31 de dezembro de 2019 foi realizada em cinco bases de dados (Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs and SciELO) por meio da combinação de palavras-chave sobre crianças e adolescentes, atividade física e apoio parental, restritos aos idiomas inglês e português. Como resultado, apenas um novo estudo foi incluído além daqueles provenientes da revisão prévia, que corroborou com os achados prévios sobre a relação positiva da atividade física entre pais e filhos. Os estudos que foram incluídos (n=14) são apresentados de acordo com a distribuição geográfica, ano de publicação, desenho da pesquisa e método de avaliação da atividade física. São destacadas limitações e futuros direcionamentos sobre domínios específicos da atividade física e volume semanal, bem como influência dos pares e do ambiente. Os achados desta revisão reforçaram que o estilo de vida dos pais corresponde a um fator importante para promoção de estilo de vida ativo em crianças e adolescentes brasileiros.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Our aim was to analyze hospitalization due to affective disorders in Brazil from 2003 to 2017 and the possible association with economic indicators during crises. We used data on hospitalizations due to affective disorders within the Brazilian National Health System, obtained from DATASUS; data on health-related behavior (television-viewing and physical activity) from the VIGITEL database; and economic data from the World Bank database. We found that the numbers of hospitalizations increased one year after the 2009 crisis and one year after the 2016 crisis. Negative changes in health-related behavior also followed changes in the numbers of hospitalizations due to affective disorders.

In recent years, workers have shown a tendency to suffer increasing amounts of stress, and over 60% claim to feel much anxiety towards their jobs. Problems of psychological health are having an increasing impact on workers, their families and their communities. Furthermore, regular health checks are uncovering health problems in more workers each year, indicating an urgent need for measures to promote psychological and physical health. The aim of our research was to assess current job-related lifestyle behaviors, eating behaviors and stress response and to examine the relationships between them. In August 2006, 980 employees from retail business Company A were given self-assessment surveys (response rate: 63.7%). Excluding those which were left mostly incomplete, a total of 624 usable responses were received and examined. Examination of the relationships between stress response and various lifestyle behaviors showed significant correlations of stress response with eating behavior, exercise and body image satisfaction. The variables that had high correlations with psychological stress responses were psychological workload, interpersonal relations at work, relationship with superiors, lifestyle satisfaction, cognitive restraint and emotional eating. On the other hand, the variables whose correlations with physical stress response were high were psychological workload, amount degree of skill use, lifestyle satisfaction, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating. Not only is there a need for behavior modification support to improve lifestyle behaviors, but assistance for increasing support from superiors in the workplace is also essential for stress management. In addition to the clear need for effective supervisor training, various long-term education and consultation programs for employees and their families should also be considered.
