The effects of intuitive eating on body appreciation, body mass index, and nutritional behaviors in adults: a sample of Türkiye / Os efeitos da alimentação intuitiva na apreciação do corpo, índice de massa corporal e comportamentos nutricionais em adultos: uma amostra da Türkiye

ABSTRACT Objective Intuitive eating is an adaptive eating style that makes a strong connection with internal physiological manifestations of hunger and satiety. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of intuitive eating on body appreciation, body mass index, and nutritional behaviors in adults. Methods Sample consisted of 497 individuals. Data were collected online. The questionnaire form included a general information and physical activity evaluation form, anthropometric measurements, Intuitive Eating Scale-2, Body Appreciation Scale-2, and food frequency questionnaire. Results A statistically significant relationship was found between body mass index and eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues, body-food choice congruence subscale scores, and total scale score. There was a correlation between body appreciation and unconditional permission to eat, reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues, body-food choice congruence subscale scores, and total scale score. The number of physically active intuitive eaters was significantly higher than non-intuitive eaters. A significant correlation was found between intuitive eating scores and frequency of consumption of fish, cake, biscuit, chocolate, granulated sugar, honey, jam, molasses, pastries and dairy-based desserts, sunflower oil, margarine, and sugary, carbonated drinks. Conclusion Intuitive eating can be an effective tool in sustaining and controlling weight loss, and with more studies, it may be possible to further spread this practice

RESUMO Objetivo A alimentação intuitiva é um estilo alimentar adaptativo que faz uma forte conexão com as manifestações fisiológicas internas de fome e saciedade. Este estudo foi realizado para avaliar o efeito da alimentação intuitiva na apreciação corporal, índice de massa corporal e comportamentos nutricionais em adultos. Métodos A amostra foi composta por 497 indivíduos. Os dados foram coletados online. O formulário do questionário incluiu um formulário de informações gerais e avaliação de atividade física, medidas antropométricas, Intuitive Eating Scale-2, Body Appreciation Scale-2 e questionário de frequência alimentar. Resultados Uma relação estatisticamente significativa foi encontrada entre o índice de massa corporal e a alimentação com base em razões fisiológicas em vez de razões emocionais, dependência de sinais de saciedade, pontuação da subescala de adequação da escolha do alimento corporal e pontuação total da escala. Houve uma correlação entre a apreciação do corpo e o consentimento incondicional para comer, confiança nos sinais de saciedade, pontuação da subescala de adequação da escolha do alimento corporal e pontuação total da escala. A quantidade de comedores intuitivos fisicamente ativos foi significativamente maior do que a dos comedores não intuitivos. Foi encontrada correlação significativa entre o escore de alimentação intuitiva e a frequência de consumo de peixe, bolo, biscoito, chocolate, açúcar granulado, mel, geleia, melado, doces e sobremesas lácteas, óleo de girassol, margarina e refrigerantes açucarados. Conclusão A alimentação intuitiva pode ser uma ferramenta eficaz na sustentação e controle da perda de peso e, com mais estudos, pode ser possível disseminar mais essa prática.

La antropometría, potencia, velocidad y agilidad son factores relacionados con el rendimiento en el fútbol. Sin embargo, la relación entre las medidas antropométricas y las capacidades físicas se pueden evaluar. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar la correlación entre antropometría, potencia, velocidad y agilidad. Participaron 17 futbolistas semiprofesionales categoría sub 15, (peso corporal: 60,64 ± 5.78 kg; estatura: 1,72 ± 0,06 m; edad: 15,53 ± 0,50 años). Se correlacionó la antropometría y agilidad con el salto vertical, asimismo, la agilidad con la velocidad mediante Coeficiente de correlación de Pearson, p = 0,05. Los resultados indican que no existe significancia entre perímetro del muslo (r = 0,16; p = 0,24), peso corporal (r = 0,30; p = 0,15), estatura, (r = 0,36; p = 0,51), largo de extremidad inferior (r = 0,34; p = 0,17), salto vertical-agilidad (r = 0,16; p = 0,52), velocidad en línea recta 20m-agilidad (r = 0,25; p = 0,33). Se concluye que no existe significancia entre las variables de antropometría, potencia, velocidad y agilidad en los futbolistas semiprofesionales categoría sub 15 del equipo de la liga profesional de la primera división de Venezuela, estudiantes de Mérida Fútbol Club.

Anthropometry, power, speed, and agility are factors related to performance in soccer. However, the relationship between anthropometric measurements and physical abilities can be evaluated. The objective of this study was to estimate the correlation between anthropometry, power, speed, and agility. Seventeen semi-professional U15 category soccer players participated (body weight: 60.64 ± 5.78 kg, height: 1.72 ± 0.06 m, age: 15.53 ± 0.50 years). Anthropometry and agility were correlated with vertical jump; agility was also correlated with speed by Pearson, p = 0.05. The results indicate that there is no significance between thigh circumference (r= 0.16; p= 0.24), body weight (r= 0.30; p= 0.15), height (r= 0.36; p= 0.51), lower extremity length (r= 0.34; p= 0.17), vertical jump-agility (r= 0.16; p= 0.52), and straight-line speed 20m-agility (r= 0.25; p= 0.33). It is concluded that there is no significance between the variables of anthropometry, power, speed, and agility in semi-professional soccer players in the under 15 category from the professional league of the first division of Venezuela; students from the Mérida Soccer Club.

Parasitosis intestinales y medidas antropométricas en preescolares del cantón de Portoviejo, Ecuador / Intestinal parasites and anthropometric measurements in preschoolers from the canton of Portoviejo, Ecuador

Las enteroparasitosis son un problema de salud pública a nivel global con mayor impacto en los países subdesarrollados asociadas a condiciones de vida inadecuadas. La población infantil es más suceptible para desarrollar sintomatología provocando cuadros disentéricos, vomitos, síndrome de mal absorción, lo que influye en deficiencia de nutrientes y vitaminas, como consecuencia retraso en el crecimiento, malnutrición, trastornos del desarrollo físico y cognitivo. Se realizó una investigación epidemiológica, de corte transversal para estimar la prevalencia de parásitos instestinales y las diferencias en relación a las medidas antropométricas, en 283 escolares de la Capital de la provincia de Manabí. Las variables peso, talla parada, circunferencia de brazo izquierdo, pliegues de tríceps y subescapular, índice de masa corporal, área magra y área grasa fueron seleccionadas para establecer la relación. El coproparasitológico se realizó con el método directo (solución salina 0,9% y Lugol) y Kato Katz. Los resultados mostraron 62,54% de prevalencia, sin distingo de sexo, ni edad. Blastocytis spp., la especie más frecuente, confirmándose el comportamiento epidemiológico a nivel mundial a expensa de los protozoarios, con presencia de especies comensales (E. nana) relacionada con el fecalismo. A pesar de la alta prevalencia, no se observó diferencia significativa entre variables antropométricas analizadas en los escolares parasitados y no parasitados. Se infiere que es debido al tipo de especies y la intensidad de la infestación. Se recomienda realizar campañas de educación sanitaria y promover hábitos de higiene, así como dirigir investigaciones para determinar el papel epidemiológico del agua de consumo y las enteroparasitosis(AU)

Enteroparasitosis is a global public health problem with the greatest impact in underdeveloped countries associated with inadequate living conditions. The child population is more susceptible to developing symptoms causing dysentery, vomiting, malabsorption syndrome, which influences nutrient and vitamin deficiency, resulting in growth retardation, malnutrition, physical and cognitive development disorders. A cross-sectional epidemiological investigation was carried out to estimate the prevalence of intestinal parasites and the differences in relation to anthropometric measurements, in 283 schoolchildren from the capital of the province of Manabí. The variables weight, standing height, left arm circumference, triceps and subscapular folds, body mass index, lean area, and fat area were selected to establish the relationship. Coproparasitology was performed with the direct method (saline solution 0.9% and Lugol) and Kato Katz. The results showed 62.54% prevalence, regardless of sex or age. Blastocytis spp., the most frequent species, confirming the epidemiological behavior worldwide at the expense of protozoa, with the presence of commensal species (E. nana) related to fecalism. Despite the high prevalence, no significant difference was observed between the anthropometric variables analyzed in parasitized and non-parasitized schoolchildren. It is inferred that it is due to the type of species and the intensity of the infestation. It is recommended to carry out health education campaigns and promote hygiene habits, as well as to conduct research to determine the epidemiological role of drinking water and enteroparasitosis(AU)

Physical Fitness Test (PFT) in Police and Military in Brazil: A Systematic Review

Abstract Background Physical Fitness Tests (PFTs) are part of military routines and are usually administered to applicants for the Brazilian corps member, including the civil police. Objective To identify in the literature, scientific articles aimed at assessing physical fitness of police and military personnel in Brazil, using PFTs. Methods This was a systematic review, using the PRISMA systematization, using the following search keywords "police", "military", "physical fitness test" and " PFT", in English and Portuguese. The databases used were ScienceDirect, PubMed, BVS (Lilacs) and Scielo. Only original works performed with police and military personnel in Brazil were selected, through the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results After the screening process, 11 articles were selected from a total of 1,487. Conclusions The data collected from the selected articles suggest that older age is related to a decrease in physical fitness, and better performance in the tests is related to a lower risk of comorbidities. Although high-intensity training improves physical fitness and anthropometric data, it is associated with injury rates; physically active lifestyle is associated with better flexibility.

Situación nutricional entre los percentiles ecuatorianos y la OMS en adolescentes del 12 años / Nutritional situation between ecuadorian and who percentile in 12-year-old adolescents

Se trata de la recopilación de información sobre estudios que reflejan la situación nutricional en Ecuador, y las comparaciones entre los percentiles ecuatorianos y los que sugiere la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Estudios refieren que este tipo de comparación difiere de las realidades de un país pues presenta diferente ubicación geográfica y por sus rasgos culturales, que difieren ancestralmente se presentan divergencias entre la alimentación, estilos de vida, bases socioeconómicas, rasgos antropométricos y otras variables que influyen y que han obligado a crear sus propios estándares de comparaciones. Objetivo: Describir la situación nutricional entre los percentiles ecuatorianos y la OMS en adolescentes de 12 años. Materiales y método: Es del tipo cualitativa, descriptiva, donde se recopila información relevante vinculada al descriptor en estudio, por eso la modalidad es tipo documental y descriptiva, transversal y observacional porque se le y observa información relevante de momento y se describe y señalan procedimientos como modelos para otras investigaciones. Resultados: Ecuador como país latinoamericano refleja una situación alimentaria y nutricional de amplio potencial productivo, de grandes oportunidades y capacidades socioeconómicas, necesarios para dar respuestas a las exigencias nutricionales de su población. Sin embargo, la información sobre el estado nutricional de la población infantil refleja el desarrollo del país, con una reducción significativa de la prevalencia de retardo de crecimiento, que prevalecen mucho más en grupos indígenas, por problemas sociales: mortalidad infantil, pobreza, indigencia y analfabetismo. Conclusiones: Estimar valores de desnutrición y sobrepeso a través de comparaciones por los percentiles internacionales (WHO) y los de Estados Unidos no reflejan la realidad de una población que difiere en todo con la de esos estándares comparativos. Por ello el esfuerzo de estudios por crear sus propios estándares nacionales es loable y muestra las realidades de una población(AU)

This is the collection of information on studies that reflect the nutritional situation in Ecuador, and comparisons between Ecuadorian percentiles and those suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO). Studies report that this type of comparison differs from the realities of a country because it has different geographical location and its cultural features, which differ ancestrally, there are divergences between food, lifestyles, socioeconomic bases, anthropometric traits and other variables that influence and that have forced to create their own standards of comparisons. Objective: To describe the nutritional situation between the Ecuadorian and WHO percentiles in 12-year-old adolescents Materials and methods: It is of the qualitative, descriptive type, where relevant information linked to the descriptor in study is collected, so the modality is documentary and descriptive, transversal and observational because relevant information is observed at the moment and procedures are described and indicated as models for another research. Results: Ecuador as a Latin American country reflects a food and nutritional situation with ample productive potential, great opportunities and socioeconomic capacities, necessary to respond to the nutritional demands of its population. However, information on the nutritional status of the child population reflects the development of the country, with a significant reduction in the prevalence of growth retardation, which is much more prevalent in indigenous groups, due to social problems: infant mortality, poverty, indigence and illiteracy. Conclusions: Estimating values of malnutrition and overweight through comparisons by the international percentiles (WHO) and those of the United States do not reflect the reality of a population that differs in everything with that of these comparative standards. That is why the effort of studies to create their own national standards is laudable and shows the realities of a population(AU)

Anthropometric markers of abdominal adiposity and its relation to dyslipidemia and insulin resistance among overweight/obese schoolchildren and adolescents / Marcadores antropométricos de adiposidade abdominal e sua relação com dislipidemia e resistência à insulina em escolares e adolescentes com sobrepeso/obesidade

ABSTRACT: Objective: to assess the relationship between anthropometric indicators and laboratorial markers of cardiovascular risk in overweight/obese children and adolescents, in order to verify whether any anthropometric indicator has a better potential for use in screening cardiovascular risk in the population. Method: retrospective cross-sectional study enrolling 237 individuals aged 7 to 18 years. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist circumference/height index (WC/H), glucose, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol (TC), LDL, HDL, triglycerides and TC/HDL and LDL/HDL indexes were obtained. Associations between anthropometric and laboratory markers were tested in contingency tables using the chi-square test. Correlations were tested by Spearman's correlation. Results: higher WC (Freedman cutoffs) was associated with lower levels of HDL and higher score in the TC/HDL and LDL/HDL indexes, but, using +2 z-scores as the cutoff, there were associations with low HDL and higher HOMA-IR. WC/H indicator (0.5 cutoff) was not associated with any of the outcomes, but, using +2 z-scores, an association was found with HOMA-IR. Z-scores of WC, WC/H and BMI showed positive correlation with HOMA-IR, TC/HDL and HOMA-IR, respectively. Negative correlations were found between WC and WC/H z-scores with HDL. WC and WC/H z-score were related to changes in HDL and HOMA-IR. Conclusions: there seems to be an advantage in using WC alone as a possible predictor of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in children and adolescents. It is not possible to state that WC, WC/H or BMI measurements differ in their abilities to identify Brazilian children and adolescents with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. (AU)

RESUMO:Objetivo: avaliar a relação entre indicadores antropométricos e marcadores laboratoriais de risco cardiovascular em crianças e adolescentes com sobrepeso / obesidade, a fim de verificar se algum indicador antropométrico tem melhor potencial para uso no rastreamento de risco cardiovascular na população. Método: estudo transversal retrospectivo com 237 indivíduos com idades entre 7 e 18 anos. Índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência da cintura (CC), índice de circunferência da cintura / altura (CC / H), glicose, HOMA-IR, colesterol total (CT), LDL, HDL, triglicerídeos e índices CT/HDL e LDL/HDL foram obtidos. As associações entre marcadores antropométricos e laboratoriais foram testadas em tabelas de contingência por meio do teste do qui-quadrado. As correlações foram testadas pela correlação de Spearman. Resultados: CC mais elevado (pontos de corte de Freedman) foi associado a níveis mais baixos de HDL e maior pontuação nos índices TC/HDL e LDL/HDL, mas, usando +2 escores z como ponto de corte, houve associações com HDL baixo e HOMA-IR mais alto. O indicador CC/H (0,5 ponto de corte) não foi associado a nenhum dos desfechos, mas, usando +2 escores z, foi encontrada associação com o HOMA-IR. Os escores Z de CC, CC/E e IMC mostraram correlação positiva com HOMA-IR, TC/HDL e HOMA-IR, respectivamente. Correlações negativas foram encontradas entre CC e escores z de CC/H com HDL. CC e escore z de CC/H foram relacionados a mudanças em HDL e HOMA-IR. Conclusões: parece haver vantagem em usar a CC isoladamente como possível preditor de dislipidemia e resistência à insulina em crianças e adolescentes. Não é possível afirmar que as medidas de CC, CC/E ou IMC diferem na capacidade de identificar crianças e adolescentes brasileiros com fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares. (AU)

¿Cómo se pesa al paciente con trastorno de la conducta alimentaria? Revisión del abordaje del peso en los tratamientos / How is the patient with Eating Disorders weighed? Review of weight approach in treatments

Introducción: la excesiva preocupación por el peso y la forma corporal en los Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA) conducen a conductas obsesivas de chequeo y/o evitación corporal. Existe consenso que el peso es un elemento fundamental en el tratamiento de los TCA, sin embargo, en el pesaje conviven enfoques múltiples. Objetivo: describir cómo se aborda el pesaje en el tratamiento de los pacientes con TCA. Materiales y método: el estudio consiste en una revisión de bibliografía, descriptiva. Se incluyeron publicaciones científicas mediante la búsqueda actualizada en base de datos: Scielo, Lilacs y Pubmed, desde 2010 hasta el 2020. Los descriptores de la búsqueda fueron: "pesaje y trastornos alimentarios/desórdenes alimentarios" y "tratamiento, trastornos alimentarios y pesaje". Resultados: de la búsqueda bibliográfica quedaron incluidos 14 artículos internacionales de diseño descriptivo. Los estudios fueron diversos, en estudiantes, atletas, pacientes, grupo control y profesionales, el tamaño muestral fue desde 24 instituciones especializadas en TCA hasta una población de 2287 participantes. Ningún estudio identificó cuál es el profesional encargado de pesar al paciente. El 75% de los artículos que describieron la modalidad de pesaje eligieron pesaje ciego en el comienzo del tratamiento y el resto optó por pesaje abierto, utilizándolo como terapia de exposición. Todos los profesionales modificaron la modalidad de pesaje según el nivel de ansiedad del paciente y el tiempo del tratamiento. Los pacientes prefirieron el pesaje ciego como beneficioso para sus tratamientos. El 90% de los estudios mostraron que los individuos que se autopesaban con mayor frecuencia, iniciaron más tempranamente atracones y conductas compensatorias. Conclusión: los tratamientos basados en evidencia no abordan la modalidad del pesaje de manera consensuada y las recomendaciones varían dentro de las terapias, y a lo largo del tiempo. La utilidad terapéutica del pesaje en los TCA es fundamental para evaluar el riesgo, alertar sobre los cambios en la ingesta alimentaria y para reducir la ansiedad. Sin embargo, es necesario abordarlo con profesionalismo e interdisciplina para disminuir el impacto sobre las conductas perjudiciales para la salud y la psicopatología. Se recomiendan más estudios que ayuden a construir criterios comunes y guías de consenso regional para mejorar el tratamiento de los TCA(AU).

Introduction: excessive concern about weight and body shape in Eating Disorders (ED) lead to obsessive checking and/or body avoidance behaviors. There is consensus that weight is a fundamental element in the treatment of eating disorders, however multiple approaches coexist in weighing. Objectives: to describe how weighing is addressed in the treatment of patients with ED Materials and method: the study consists of a descriptive bibliographic review. Scientific publications were included through the updated database search: Scielo, Lilacs and Pubmed, from 2010 to 2020. Search descriptors were: "body weight and eating disorders/eating disorders" and "treatment, eating disorders and body weight". Results: out of the bibliographic search, 14 international articles of descriptive design were included. The sample groups of the studies were diverse, including students, athletes, patients, control group and professionals, with a sample size of 2287 participants and 24 institutions specialized in eating disorders. No study identified the professional in charge of weighing the patient. 75% of the articles that described the weighing modality chose blind weighing at the beginning of the treatment and the rest opted for open weighing, using it as exposure therapy. All the professionals modified the weighing modality according to the patient's anxiety level and the treatment time. Patients preferred blind weighing as beneficial for their treatment. 90% of the studies showed that individuals who self-weighed more frequently initiated binge eating and compensatory behaviors earlier. Conclusion: evidence-based treatments do not consensually address how the patient is weighed, and the recommendations vary according to therapies and time period. The therapeutic utility of ED weighing is essential to assess risk, alert to changes in food intake, and to reduce anxiety. However, it is necessary to approach it with professionalism and interdiscipline to reduce the impact on behaviors harmful to health and psychopathology. More studies are recommended to help build common criteria and regional consensus guidelines to improve the treatment of ED(AU).

Accuracy of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition to identify malnutrition in hospitalized patients / Acurácia do Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition para identificar a desnutrição em pacientes hospitalizados

ABSTRACT Objective: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition, introduced as a useful method in the diagnosis of malnutrition, is supported by little evidence in hospitalized individuals. Therefore, we reviewed this method with two objectives: 1) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria with the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment; 2) to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and its associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted with individuals hospitalized between April 2019 and July 2021. Sociodemographic, clinical and anthropometric information was investigated. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition was the index test and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment the standard reference to assess malnutrition. For diagnostic accuracy, measurements of sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve and kappa agreement were considered. Results: A total of 105 individuals participated (age 65.9±9.9 years). The prevalence of malnutrition in the total sample was 48.6% and 67.6% according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment criteria, respectively. An association was observed between malnutrition and the variables that stand behind hospitalization, metabolic stress and anthropometric indicators (p<0.05). The comparison showed sensitivity and specificity values for the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria of 67.6% (95% CI: 56.1-77.3) and 91.2% (95% CI: 77.0-96.9) (total sample) and 71.7% (95% CI: 58.4-82.0) and 95.5% (95% CI: 78.2-99.2) (elderly), respectively. An agreement of 49% was observed, raising to 55% when the elderly were assessed separately. Conclusion: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria presented adequate sensitivity conditions and specificity to diagnose malnutrition, moderate agreement with the reference standard and good applicability in hospitalized patients' clinical practice. Prevalence of malnutrition was high, regardless of the method used, and was associated with the reason for hospitalization, metabolic stress and anthropometric indicators.

RESUMO Objetivo: O Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition, apresentado como um método útil no diagnóstico de desnutrição, possui poucas evidências acerca de indivíduos hospitalizados. Portanto, exploramos esse método com dois objetivos: 1) comparar a acurácia diagnóstica dos critérios Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition com a Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Paciente; 2) determinar a prevalência de desnutrição e seus fatores associados. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado com indivíduos hospitalizados entre abril de 2019 a julho de 2021. Informações sociodemográficas, clínicas e antropométricas foram investigadas. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition foi o index test e Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Paciente a referência padrão para avaliar desnutrição. Para acurácia diagnóstica considerou-se as medições de sensibilidade, especificidade e área sob a curva e concordância kappa. Resultados: Participaram 105 indivíduos (65,9±9,9 anos). A prevalência de desnutrição na amostra total foi de 48,6% e 67,6% de acordo com os critérios Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition e Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida pelo Paciente, respectivamente. Associações foram encontradas entre desnutrição e as variáveis motivo de internação, estresse metabólico e indicadores antropométricos (p<0,05). A comparação mostrou valores de sensibilidade e especificidade para os critérios Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition de 67,6% (IC 95%: 56,1-77,3) e 91,2% (IC 95%: 77,0-96,9) (amostra total) e 71,7% (IC 95%: 58,4-82,0) e 95,5% (IC 95%: 78,2-99,2) (idosos), respectivamente. Observou-se concordância de 49,0%, sendo 55,0% quando os idosos foram analisados separadamente. Conclusão: Os critérios Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition apresentaram condições adequadas de sensibilidade e especificidade para diagnosticar desnutrição, concordância moderada com o padrão de referência e boa aplicabilidade na prática clínica em hospitalizados. A prevalência de desnutrição foi elevada, independentemente do método utilizado, e apresentou relação com o motivo de internação, estresse metabólico e indicadores antropométricos.

Effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on diet quality and anthropometric and biochemical measurements / Efeito da educação nutricional dada a pessoas com esclerose múltipla e suas famílias em relação a qualidade da dieta, medidas antropométricas e bioquímicas

ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on anthropometric and biochemical measurements and diet quality. Methods: Data from 51 persons with multiple sclerosis were analysed in this intervention study. The study was conducted with 3 groups. The education group consisted of only persons with multiple sclerosis, the family education group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis and a family member living with them, and the control group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis who had not received an education. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements and dietary quality assessments were made before (T1) and immediately after education (T2) and also 3 months after education (follow-up, T3). Results: The distribution of family education group diet quality scores showed a significant increase from "poor" to "needs improvement" at T3 compared to T1. The upper middle arm circumference measurements of the female control group were decreased at T2 and T3 [from 29.0 (23-34) cm to 28.0 (22-31) cm and to 27.5 (22-31) cm]. Women in family education group, levels of serum haemoglobin and haematocrit were higher than in control group at T2 and T3. Also, men in family education group, levels of alanine aminotransferase were lower than those in education group at follow up. Levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in education group were higher than those control group at T1, T2, and T3. Conclusion: This study indicates that nutrition education affects some biochemical and anthropometric measurements in persons with multiple sclerosis. Diet quality improved when receiving education together with families.

RESUMO Objetivo: Objetivou-se investigar os efeitos da educação nutricional dada a pessoas com esclerose múltipla e seus familiares, avaliação de medidas antropométricas, bioquímicas e da qualidade da dieta. Métodos: Dados de 51 participantes com esclerose múltipla foram analisados neste estudo de intervenção. O estudo foi dividido em 3 grupos, sendo o primeiro composto por indivíduos que obtiveram educação nutricional, o segundo, composto por indivíduos mais um membro da família que morava com eles e obtiveram educação nutricional, e o terceiro, grupo controle, composto por indivíduos que não obtiveram educação nutricional. Medidas antropométricas, bioquímicas e avaliações da qualidade da dieta foram feitas antes (T1) imediatamente após a educação nutricional (T2) e também 3 meses após a educação nutricional (T3). Resultados: A distribuição dos escores de qualidade da dieta do grupo de educação familiar mostrou um aumento significativo de "ruim" para "precisa melhorar" no T3 em comparação ao T1. As medidas da circunferência do braço médio do grupo controle feminino foram menores em T2 e T3 [de 29,0 (23-34) cm para 28,0 (22-31) cm e para 27,5 (22-31) cm]. Nas mulheres do grupo família, os níveis séricos de hemoglobina e hematocrito foram maiores do que no grupo controle em T2 e T3. Também nos homens do grupo família, os níveis de alanina aminotransferasa foram mais baixos do que os do grupo educação no seguimento. Os níveis de CT e LDL-C no grupo educação foram superiores aos do grupo controle em T1, T2 e T3. Conclusão: Este estudo observou que a educação nutricional afeta algumas medidas bioquímicas antropométricas em pessoas com esclerose múltipla. A qualidade da dieta melhorou quando recebeu educação junto com as famílias.

Resumo Contexto A gravidez é caracterizada por mudanças fisiológicas que podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de varizes, insuficiência venosa e edema das pernas. Objetivos Avaliar o efeito das meias de compressão em edema de membros inferiores e a percepção sobre o uso por gestantes. Métodos Trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado, controlado, prospectivo, paralelo e cego realizado com 60 mulheres grávidas distribuídas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: grupo intervenção (n = 30), que usou meias de compressão, e grupo controle (n = 30). Foram realizadas medições padronizadas de tornozelo e panturrilha, empregando-se fita métrica, em todos os 120 membros inferiores. No final do estudo, foi aplicado também um questionário para verificação das dificuldades e vantagens percebidas com relação ao uso das meias de compressão. Resultados As gestantes do grupo intervenção apresentaram aumento significativamente menor (p < 0,05) nos diâmetros de panturrilha e tornozelo em relação ao grupo controle. As diferenças médias, no início e no final da gestação, nos diâmetros de panturrilha direita, panturrilha esquerda, tornozelo direito e tornozelo esquerdo foram de, respectivamente, 0,30 cm, 0,30 cm, 0,15 cm e 0,15 cm no grupo intervenção e 1,95 cm, 1,95 cm, 1,73 cm e 1,87 cm no grupo controle. A maioria das gestantes não teve dificuldade para utilizar as meias de compressão, e todas relataram que sentiram diferença nos sintomas das pernas e que usariam as meias novamente. Conclusões As meias de compressão foram eficazes na prevenção de edema em membros inferiores de gestantes, as quais apresentaram percepção positiva quanto à sua utilização.

Abstract Background Pregnancy is characterized by physiological changes that can contribute to development of varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and leg edema. Objectives To evaluate the effect of compression stocking on lower limb edema in pregnant women and their perceptions of wearing them. Methods This was a randomized, controlled, prospective, parallel, blinded clinical trial conducted with 60 pregnant women randomly distributed into two groups: an intervention group (n = 30) wearing compression stockings and a control group (n = 30). Standardized ankle and calf measurements were taken of all 120 lower limbs using a tape measure. At the end of the study, a questionnaire was administered to identify perceived difficulties and advantages related to wearing compression stockings. Results Pregnant women in the intervention group had a significantly smaller increase (p < 0.05) in calf and ankle diameters compared to those in the control group. The mean differences from the beginning to the end of gestation in the diameters of the right calf, left calf, right ankle, and left ankle respectively were 0.30 cm, 0.30 cm, 0.15, cm and 0.15 cm in the intervention group and 1.95 cm, 1.95 cm, 1.73 cm, and 1.87 cm in the control group. Most of the pregnant women had no difficulty wearing the compression stockings and all reported that they felt a difference in leg symptoms and would wear stockings again. Conclusions Compression stockings were effective for preventing lower limb edema in pregnant women, who had a positive perception of wearing them.

Optimal Cutoff of the TG/HDL-c ratio for Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertensive and Diabetic Patients Monitored by Primary Health Care in a city in Minas Gerais

Abstract Background The analysis of the atherogenic potential of the lipid profile for biomarkers, such as the TG/HDL-c ratio, predicts cardiovascular risk better than isolated lipids. Objective To identify the TG/HDL-c cutoff points for multiple risks (hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, obesity) and to evaluate the association between sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, anthropometric, and life habit variables and the TG/HDL-c ratio in hypertensive and/or diabetic individuals in the context of Primary Health Care. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with 833 hypertensive and/or diabetic patients, conducted between August 2017 and April 2018. The cutoff point of the TG/HDL-c were obtained by the ROC curve. Cardiovascular risk was discriminated by TG/HDL-c, categorized by the cutoff and evaluated in relation to multiple risks. The magnitude of the association between TG/HDL-c and independent variables was estimated by logistic regression. The significance level of p<0.05 was adopted for all tests. Results The cutoff values of TG/HDL-c (3.26 for men and 2.72 for women) were more sensitive and less specific than those in the literature. Women (OR=1.90 and 95% CI 1.13-3.20) and men (OR=4.58 and 95% CI 1.78-11.76) with multiple risks, and white men, alcohol users, with a history of stroke, had a higher chance of altered GT/HDL-c. Increases in glycosylated hemoglobin, glycemia, and phosphorus in women, and cholesterol, glycemia, and microalbuminuria in men increased the chances of altered TG/HDL-c. Being a former smoker and black reduced the chance of altered TG/HDL-c in women. Conclusions TG/HDL-c proved to be a good indicator for habitual use in Primary Care.
