ABSTRACT

The increase in the availability of processed and ultra-processed foods has altered the eating patterns of populations, and these foods constitute an exposure factor for the development of arterial hypertension. This systematic review analyzed evidence of the association between consumption of processed/ultra-processed foods and arterial hypertension in adults and older people. Electronic searches for relevant articles were performed in the PUBMED, EMBASE and LILACS databases. The review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The search of the databases led to the retrieval of 2323 articles, eight of which were included in the review. A positive association was found between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and blood pressure/arterial hypertension, whereas insufficient evidence was found for the association between the consumption of processed foods and arterial hypertension. The results reveal the high consumption of ultra-processed foods in developed and middle-income countries, warning of the health risks of such foods, which have a high energy density and are rich in salt, sugar and fat. The findings underscore the urgent need for the adoption of measures that exert a positive impact on the quality of life of populations, especially those at greater risk, such as adults and older people.

ABSTRACT

Background: Temporal trends in dietary patterns reveal associations between food consumption and increased prevalence of non-communicable chronic disease. Objectives: This study characterized dietary patterns in adolescents in urban area located in northeast of Brazil, relating it to the markers of a healthy diet. Methods: A cross-sectional study used two 24-hour recalls to assess dietary intake in 430 public school students from Natal-RN, Brazil. Principal component analysis was used to derive dietary patterns according to consumption of food based on weight (grams), energy (Kcal), or fiber (grams). The analysis results yielded 3 distinct principal components: 7, 8, and 4 (cumulative variance >70%; factor loadings >0.4). The association between independent variables and the factor scores of all components obtained was determined by the Prevalence Ratio (CI 95%). Results: The dietary patterns derived were: (1) Pure Traditional Food System, the highly representative pattern in young adolescents and the first component of the analytical models, (2) Combined and Risk Food System; extraction of total food weight and energy revealed markers of unhealthy diets based on high sugar, saturated fat, and salt consumption, and (3) Modified Traditional Food System represented by fiber; pattern 1 was observed within this model too. The associations observed, predominantly from the TFSm pattern, distinguished by sex, age and nutritional status. Conclusions: Patterns 1 and 3 are characterized by preserved regional food practices that prevent chronic disease, whereas pattern 2 is characterized by health risks. These inter-sectorial findings should be considered in the development of health care policies for children and adolescents (AU)


Introducción: Estudios nacionales de evolución temporal encuentran que la tendencia del consumo alimentario se asocia con aumento de la prevalencia de las enfermedades crónicas. Objetivos: Caracterizar los hábitos alimentarios de los adolescentes en un área urbana del Noreste de Brasil, relacionándolos con los marcadores dietéticos saludables. Métodos: Estudio transversal con adolescentes (n=430) de las escuelas públicas de Natal-RN, Brasil. El consumo alimentario se evaluó mediante dos recordatorios 24h. La técnica de Análisis de Componentes Principales fue utilizada para derivar patrones dietéticos, de acuerdo con: alimentos en gramos (g), la energía en Kcal y la fibra en gramos, lo que resulta, respectivamente, en 3 componentes principales distintos: 7, 8 y 4 (varianza acumulada >70%; cargas factoriales >0,4). La asociación entre las variables independientes y los escores de los factores de todos los componentes obtenidos, se determinó por la razón de prevalencia (IC 95%). Resultados: Los patrones dietéticos fueron: el (1) Sistema Alimentario Tradicional puro representó el primero componente de los modelos; el (2) Sistema Alimentario Combinado y de riesgo reveló marcadores de alimentación no saludables, debido a la alta frecuencia de azucares refinados, grasas saturadas y sal; y el (3) Sistema Alimentario Modificado fue identificado en el modelo de las fibras, el patrón 1 de nuevo fue observado en este patrón. Las asociaciones observadas, en particular del patrón SATm, distinguen por sexo, edad y estado nutricional. Conclusiones: Los patrones dietéticos 1 y 3 se caracterizaron por la preservación de las prácticas regionales de alimentos, muy saludables, desde el punto de vista de la prevención de las enfermedades crónicas, mientras que el 2 representó alerta y riesgo para la salud. Los hallazgos pueden subvencionar Políticas de Atención a la Salud para infancia y adolescencia en carácter intersectorial (AU)

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo clínico randomizado duplo-cego foi avaliar o efeito da suplementação oral de zinco e selênio concomitante ao tratamento com rosuvastatina sobre os marcadores de estresse oxidativo e inflamação, bem como o status de zinco e selênio, em pacientes com aterosclerose, apresentando angina estável. A amostragem foi composta por adultos e idosos, 47 homens e 29 mulheres, com diagnóstico de aterosclerose coronariana por angiografia, atendidos no Serviço de Hemodinâmica do Natal Hospital Center - Natal / RN. O projeto foi aprovado pelos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa da UFRN e da FCF-USP. A coleta de dados foi realizada no primeiro momento e após 4 meses do tratamento com rosuvastatina 10 mg, concomitante à suplementação com zinco (30mg/d) e selênio (150µg/d), ou placebo, sendo avaliados os parâmetros antropométricos e dietéticos, zinco e selênio plasmáticos e eritrocitários, perfil lipídico, LDL minimamente oxidada, anticorpos anti-LDL(-), imunocomplexos Ac-LDL(-), GPx, SOD, IL-6 e PCR-as. Houve predominância do gênero masculino, idade média em torno de 60 anos, ex-fumantes, portadores de hipertensão arterial, alta freqüência do sobrepeso/obesidade e circunferência abdominal aumentada/muito aumentada. As dietas caracterizaram-se como hipocalórica, hiperprotéica, normoglicídica e hipolípídica, com baixo teor de fibra e altas prevalências de inadequação de ingestão de zinco e selênio. O status de zinco e selênio no plasma e eritrócitos não foi alterado significativamente nos grupos placebo e suplementado entre os dois momentos do estudo. A terapia com a rosuvastatina mostrou-se eficaz na redução das concentrações de colesterol total, LDL, colesterol não-HDL, triacilgliceróis e PCR-as, independente da suplementação com os minerais zinco e selênio. As concentrações de LDL(-), Ac anti-LDL(-), imunocomplexos, IL-6 e as atividades das enzimas SOD e GPx não foram modificadas em função das intervenções com rosuvastatina associadas ou não à suplementação. Conclui-se que o tratamento com rosuvastatina 10mg durante 4 meses não alterou o status de zinco e selênio considerando os biomarcadores avaliados. A suplementação de zinco e selênio não influenciou os biomarcadores de estresse oxidativo e inflamação. Estudos adicionais serão necessários para avaliação da necessidade de suplementação neste grupo de pacientes com aterosclerose, analisando-se outras doses, tempo de suplementação e biodisponibilidade da forma química dos minerais prescritos


The aim of this randomized double-blind study was to evaluate the effect of oral zinc and selenium supplementation, concomitant with rosuvastatin treatment, on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, as well as the status of zinc and selenium in adult patients with atherosclerosis and stable angina. The study included 47 men and 29 women, average age around 60 years, with coronary atherosclerosis diagnosed by angiography at the Hemodynamic Service at Natal Hospital Center - Natal / RN. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee of UFRN and FCF-USP. Data from patients were obtained at beggining and after four months of treatment with 10 mg rosuvastatin, concomitantly with zinc (30mg/d) and selenium (150µg/d) supplementation or placebo. The anthropometric and dietary data, zinc and selenium concentrations in plasma and erythrocyte, lipid profile, electronegative LDL (LDL(-)), anti- electronegative LDL, Ac-LDL(-) immune complexes, GPx and SOD activities, IL-6 and hs-CRP were evaluated in all patients. Most patients were former smokers with arterial hypertension, high rate of overweight/obesity and increased waist circumference. The diets contained low-calorie, hyperproteic, normoglycidic, low-fat and fiber content and inadequate intake of zinc and selenium. The status of zinc and selenium in plasma and erythrocytes was not changed significantly in the supplemented and placebo groups between the two moments of the study. Rosuvastatin therapy was effective in reducing total cholesterol, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and hs-CRP level, regardless of supplementation with the minerals zinc and selenium. The concentrations of LDL (-), anti- LDL (-), immune complexes, IL-6 and the activities of SOD and GPx were not modified by zinc and selenium supplementation associated with rosuvastatin. In conclusion, the treatment with 10 mg rosuvastatin for 4 months did not change either the status of zinc and selenium or the biomarkers evaluated in this study. Zinc and selenium supplementation did not affect oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the need for antioxidant minerals supplementation in patients with atherosclerosis, mainly to investigate other doses, duration of supplementation and bioavailability of the chemical form of the prescribed minerals.
