OBJECTIVE: To characterize the risk profile for atherosclerosis (AS) in adolescents and young adults of a private university in São Paulo. METHODS: Clinical, nutritional, and laboratory parameters were evaluated in 209 students of both genders aged 17 to 25 years. In addition to determination of the lipid profile, the association of its abnormal values with other risk factors for AS was also investigated. RESULTS: Increased levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C and triglycerides (TG) were observed in 9.1%, 7.6% and 16.3% of the students, respectively, and decreased levels of HDL-C in 8.6% of them. Prevalence of the remaining risk factors analyzed was elevated: sedentary life style (78.9%); high intake of total fat (77.5%); high cholesterol intake (35.9%); smoking, hypertension (15.8%) and obesity (7.2%). There was an association between elevated LDL-C and TG levels and sedentary life style and body mass index. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of risk factors for AS in young individuals draws attention to the need for adopting preventive plans.

Escala de Wechsler ,Obesidade ,Public aspects of medicine ,RA1-1270 - Abstract
Foram estudadas as características intelectuais de 65 crianças obesas, de 8 a 13 anos e 11 meses, comparativamente às de 35 crianças eutróficas, através da Escala de Inteligência Wechsler para Crianças. Os dois grupos foram pareados de acordo com a faixa etária, série escolar e nível socioeconômico. O grupo de obesos foi composto por pacientes atendidos pelo Departamento de Pediatria da Universidade Federal São Paulo, e o grupo-controle, por crianças pertencentes a escolas públicas. O grupo de eutróficos apresentou significantemente melhor desempenho no teste de inteligência do que o grupo de obesos (Quociente de inteligência -QI médio - 91 x 85; p < 0,05). Crianças eutróficas revelaram maior amplitude de interesses e capacidade de adaptação social e, melhor velocidade e destreza. Houve correlação positiva entre o nível de renda, a relação peso/estatura e o QI. Apesar de todos os resultados médios de QI apresentarem dados consistentemente favoráveis aos eutróficos, não se pode afirmar total superioridade desse grupo em virtude da ampla gama de fatores emocionais intervenientes no processo de inteligência, não controlados pelo estudo.

Objectives: To describe fiber intake by children with feeding difficulties (FD) according to the recommendation of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics (SBP), identify and describe the five foods that most contribute to fiber intake, and verify the factors associated with fiber consumption within the recommendation. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study, based on the use of data from medical records and with sampling assembled for convenience. The five foods that contributed most to fiber consumption (total, soluble and insoluble) were presented according to the percentage of contribution. The factors associated with fiber consumption within the recommendation were verified using logistic regression. Results: Most children (53.8%) had a consumption below the SBP recommendation. The major contributors to the total fiber intake were breads, rice and cereals, followed by fruits, beans and other pulses, vegetables and fruit juices. The contributors of soluble and insoluble fibers are similar to the total fiber rank. Parents’ education showed a positive association with fiber consumption within the recommendation (OR: 5.30; 95% CI 1.08-25.99; p = 0.039), while using distraction during the meal and lack of child autonomy to serve themselves showed a negative association (OR: 0.43; 95% CI 0.19-0.96; p = 0.040 and OR: 0.44; 95% CI 0.20-0.98; p = 0.045, respectively). Conclusion: Most children with FD presented fiber consumption below the recommendation. Most of contributing foods have good nutritional quality. The factors associated with fiber consumption were parents’ education, use of distraction during the meal and the child autonomy to serve themselves. Thus, the meals dynamics and the parentes role in food are important and should be evaluated and guided during the FD monitoring. Objetivos: Descrever o consumo de fibras por crianças com dificuldades alimentares (DA) de acordo com a recomendação da Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria (SBP), identificar e descrever os cinco alimentos que mais contribuem para o consumo de fibras, bem como verificar os fatores associados ao consumo de fibras dentro da recomendação. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional retrospectivo, baseado em utilização de dados de prontuários e com amostragem montada por conveniência. Os cinco alimentos que mais contribuíram para o consumo de fibras (totais, solúveis e insolúveis) foram apresentados de acordo com o percentual de contribuição. Os fatores associados ao consumo de fibras dentro da recomendação foram verificados utilizando regressão logística. Resultados: A maioria das crianças (53,8%) apresentou consumo abaixo da recomendação da SBP. Os maiores contribuintes para o consumo de fibras totais foram pães, arroz e cereais, seguido de frutas, feijões e outras leguminosas, hortaliças e sucos de frutas. Os contribuintes de fibras solúveis e insolúveis são semelhantes ao rank de fibras totais. Escolaridade dos pais apresentou associação positiva com consumo de fibras dentro da recomendação (OR: 5,30; IC 95% 1,08-25,99; p=0,039), enquanto uso de distração durante a refeição e falta de autonomia da criança para se servir apresentaram associação negativa (OR: 0,43; IC 95% 0,19-0,96; p=0,040 e OR: 0,44; IC 95% 0,20-0,98; p=0,045, respectivamente). Conclusão: A maioria das crianças com DA apresentou consumo de fibras abaixo da recomendação. A maior parte dos alimentos contribuintes apresentam boa qualidade nutricional. Os fatores associados ao consumo de fibras foram escolaridade dos pais, uso de distração durante a refeição e autonomia da criança para se servir. Dessa forma, a dinâmica das refeições e o papel dos pais na alimentação são importantes e devem ser avaliados e orientados durante o acompanhamento das DA.

O presente artigo relata o caso clínico de paciente de dois anos e seis meses atendida por equipe multidisciplinar. A paciente apresentou dificuldades alimentares caracterizadas por recusa alimentar, tempo prolongado das refeições, defesa sensório-oral, reflexo de vômito anteriorizado e dificuldade mastigatória. Não se alimentava sozinha, nem participava das refeições em família. Apresentava refluxo gastroesofágico, alergia a proteína do leite de vaca e tosse seguida por vômito. Não apresentou comprometimento pondero-estatural. Foi utilizado o Programa de Refeição Compartilhada. Após acompanhamento médico, a conduta de trabalho foi definida e iniciada pelo trabalho sensório-oral, seguido do trabalho com a mastigação, associados ao trabalho de orientação familiar. A paciente passou a realizar as refeições com a família e participar das rotinas sociais de alimentação. O tempo de refeição foi reduzido e a recusa alimentar eliminada. Os aspectos sensório-motores-orais melhoraram significantemente. Após a alta e reavaliação em três meses, apresentou melhora no refluxo gastro-esofágico e a medicação foi suprimida. A nutricionista iniciou a introdução de derivados do leite, com boa aceitação por parte da paciente. O programa utilizado mostrou-se eficaz para o diagnóstico e tratamento da dificuldade alimentar apresentada pela paciente. A equipe multidisciplinar foi capaz de ter uma visão ampliada da dificuldade alimentar apresentada pela paciente, compreendendo as questões motoras, orais, orgânicas e nutricionais da alimentação da criança inseridas no seu contexto familiar. The article reports the case study of a two year and six month old female patient, attended by a multidisciplinary team. Patient presented feeding difficulties such as food refusal, long lasting meals, oral-sensory defensiveness, anterior vomiting reflex and difficulties in chewing. She did not feed herself nor took part in family mealtimes. Presented gastro esophageal reflux, allergy to cow's milk protein and coughs followed by vomiting, without impairment of weight or height. The Mealtime Partners Program was method of treatment choice. After treatment of medical issues, the working method was established and initiated with oral sensory development, followed by chewing development and associated to family counseling. Patient started having meals with the family and taking part in social mealtime routines. Duration of meals diminished and food refusal was eliminated. Motor-oral system patterns improved significantly. Reassessment in 3 months showed reduction in gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and medication was removed. The nutritionist introduced dairy products with good acceptance. The Mealtime Partners Program, proved to be effective in the diagnosis and treatment of the feeding difficulties presented.

Adolescentes obesos têm dificuldades no engajamento em atividades físicas, na conscientização acerca dos problemas e consequências da obesidade e apresentam problemas psicológicos que prejudicam a competência social. Esse artigo descreve os efeitos de intervenção psicológica, concomitante à orientação de pais, na competência social e na redução do IMC de adolescentes obesos que participaram de um programa de intervenção multidisciplinar (psicológica, nutricional e física) para controle e redução de peso. Participaram 39 adolescentes separados em três grupos de intervenção: grupo experimental completo (intervenção psicológica com adolescentes e pais) - G1, grupo experimental simples (intervenção psicológica com os pais) - G2 e grupo controle (sem intervenção psicológica) - G3. Os adolescentes dos três grupos praticavam atividade física e tiveram orientação nutricional. Foram realizadas avaliação antropométrica e avaliação de competência social. Nove meses após intervenção, adolescentes de todos os grupos tornaram-se mais socialmente competentes segundo os pais, mas os do G2 apresentaram uma percentagem maior de mudança (33%, n=5). A intervenção psicológica voltada ao desenvolvimento da competência social trouxe benefícios para os adolescentes que participaram do programa para prevenção e tratamento da obesidade, pois influencia positivamente na aprendizagem de habilidades importantes para o funcionamento social, para a adesão às atividades do programa e para a manutenção dos resultados após um ano de tratamento. Os pais devem ser incluídos nas ações do programa de tratamento. Obese adolescents have difficulties engaging in physical activities, becoming aware of the problems and consequences concerning obesity, as well as present psychological issues that harm social competence. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a psychological intervention, concomitant to parents counseling, in social competence and in the reduction of BMI of adolescents who participated a program of multidisciplinary intervention (psychological, nutritional and physical) for weight loss. 39 adolescents separated in 3 intervention groups: Complete experimental group (psychological intervention with adolescents and parents) - G1, Simple experimental group (psychological intervention with the parents) - G2 and control group (not having psychological intervention) - G3. All adolescents from the three groups practiced physical activities and had nutritional orientation. Anthropometric and nutritional evaluations were performed. Nine months after the intervention, adolescents from all groups have become more socially competent according to the parents, however those from G2 presented a higher percentage of alteration (33%, n=5). The psychological intervention focused on the development of social competence benefited the adolescents who attended programs for prevention and treatment of obesity, thus it influences positively the learning of important skills toward the social functioning, the adhesion to the program activities and the maintenance of results after a year of treatment. Parent must be included in the actions of the treatment program.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) OBJETIVO: Comparar as mudanças da aptidão cardiorrespiratória em avaliações a cada 10 anos a partir de 1978/1980, de acordo com o estado nutricional e o sexo de escolares do município de Ilhabela, Brasil. MÉTODOS: O estudo faz parte do Projeto Misto-Longitudinal de Crescimento, Desenvolvimento e Aptidão Física de Ilhabela. Participaram do estudo 1.291 escolares de ambos os sexos, de 10 e 11 anos de idade. Os períodos analisados foram 1978/1980, 1988/1990, 1998/2000 e 2008/2010. As variáveis analisadas foram peso corporal, estatura e aptidão cardiorrespiratória (VO2máx - L.min-1 e mL.kg-1.min-1) realizada por um protocolo progressivo submáximo em um ciclo ergômetro. Os indivíduos foram classificados em eutróficos e excesso de peso mediante as curvas propostas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde de índice de massa corporal para idade e sexo. Para comparar os períodos, foi utilizado a ANOVA com três fatores, seguida pelo método Bonferroni. RESULTADOS: A quantidade de eutróficos (61%) foi maior do que a de excesso de peso. Houve diminuição significativa da aptidão cardiorrespiratória em ambos os sexos. Entre os escolares meninos e as meninas eutróficas houve diminuição de 22% e 26%, respectivamente. Nos escolares com excesso de peso, os meninos diminuíram em 12,7%, e as meninas, em 18%. CONCLUSÃO: Em uma análise de 30 anos, com avaliações a cada 10 anos a partir de 1978/1980, houve uma diminuição significante da aptidão cardiorrespiratória em escolares de ambos os sexos, que não pode ser explicada pelo estado nutricional. A queda da aptidão cardiorrespiratória foi maior nos escolares eutróficos do que nos obesos. OBJECTIVE: To compare the changes in cardiorespiratory fitness in evaluations performed every ten years since 1978/1980, according to the nutritional status and gender of students in the city of Ilhabela, Brazil. METHODS: The study is part of the Mixed Longitudinal Project on Growth, Development and Physical Fitness of Ilhabela. The study included 1,291 students of both genders, aged 10 to 11 years old. The study periods were: 1978/1980, 1988/1990, 1998/2000, and 2008/2010. The variables analyzed were: body weight, height, and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max -L.min-1 and mL.kg-1.min-1) performed using a submaximal progressive protocol on a cycle ergometer. Individuals were classified as normal weight and overweight according to curves proposed by the World Health Organization of body mass index for age and gender. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with three factors followed by the Bonferroni method were used to compare the periods. RESULTS: The number of normal weight individuals (61%) was higher than that of overweight. There was a significant decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness in both genders. Among the schoolchildren with normal weight, there was a decrease of 22% in males and 26% in females. In overweight schoolchildren, males showed a decrease of 12.7% and females, of 18%. CONCLUSION: During a 30-year analysis with reviews every ten years from 1978/1980, there was a significant decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness in schoolchildren of both genders, which cannot be explained by the nutritional status. The decline in cardiorespiratory fitness was greater in individuals with normal weight than in overweight individuals.

Objectives: To assess the nutritional status and dietary intakes of children attending public and private day care centers in Manaus, Brazil. Methods: The study assessed children aged 24 to 72 months, enrolled at two public (n=217) and two private (n=91) day care centers in Manaus. Nutritional status was classified according to Z scores for weight-for-age, weightfor- height, height-for-age and BMI-for-age. Dietary intakes were measured using the direct food-weighing method for 1 day. A 1-day dietary recall was administered to parents to assess dietary intakes outside the day care centers. The frequencies of children with nutrient intakes above and below the Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) or Adequate Intake (AI) cutoffs were calculated. Results: There proportion of overweight children was higher at the private day care centers, according to both weight-for-height and BMI-for-age indexes. Children from the public day care centers had higher intakes of polyunsaturated fat, trans fat, omega-6, vitamin C and sodium, and lower zinc intake when compared to those at private centers. Elevated energy intake and a high proportion of children with vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and sodium intakes over the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels were observed at both types of day care center. There was a higher proportion of children with inadequate calcium intake at the public centers (27.6 vs. 7.9%, p

O estudo caracterizou a atividade física e as barreiras referidas dos adolescentes atendidos pelo Centro de Atendimento e Apoio ao Adolescente (São Paulo/SP), em seu ambulatório de Educação Física. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, com dados das anamneses de 118 adolescentes com idade de 10 a 19 anos, atendidos entre abril de 2005 e junho de 2008. Analisaram-se, segundo gênero e faixa etária: participação em atividades físicas de lazer e na Educação Física escolar, atividades físicas preferidas e barreiras para a prática da atividade física preferida. Descreveram-se os dados por meio de frequências, comparadas por meio do Teste Exato de Fisher. Relataram gostar de atividades físicas 93,2% dos adolescentes, mas 50,8% não praticavam atividades físicas no lazer. Houve maior número de relatos de não participação na Educação Física escolar entre os adolescentes mais velhos, em ambos os gêneros. Brincadeiras e jogos coletivos foram as atividades preferidas, independentemente de gênero e idade. Falta de suporte social ou ambiental foi o motivo mais importante para não praticar a atividade física preferida. Os resultados sustentam a importância de um serviço para adolescentes que promova, oriente e suporte um estilo de vida mais ativo. This study characterized the physical activity and barriers reported by adolescents attending the Physical Education service of the Adolescent Care and Support Center, São Paulo, Brazil. An exploratory study was conducted using anamnesis data from 118 adolescents aged 10 to 19 years seen between April 2005 and June 2008. The following aspects were analyzed according to gender and age group: participation in leisure-time physical activities and physical education classes, physical activity preferences, and barriers to preferred physical activity. Data are reported as frequencies and were compared by Fisher's exact test. Enjoying physical activities was reported by 93.2% of the adolescents, whereas 50.8% did not perform any physical activity during their leisure time. The lack of participation in school physical education classes predominated among older adolescents of both genders. Games and team games were the preferred activities, irrespective of gender or age. The lack of company or friends and the lack of places were the most frequently reported barriers to preferred physical activity. The results highlight the importance of a health service program for adolescents that promotes, guides, and supports a more active lifestyle.

OBJETIVO: Verificar a validade da classificação do estado nutricional e da estatura para idade quando utilizadas massa corporal e estatura autorreferidas por adolescentes, bem como relacionar essa validade com percepção e com satisfação corporal. MÉTODOS: 304 adolescentes antes de terem suas medidas de massa e estatura aferidas autorreferiram essas medidas, foram questionados sobre a percepção de seu corpo e a classificação da imagem corporal foi obtida com o uso de uma escala de silhuetas corporais. Também foram aplicados testes específicos para avaliar a satisfação corporal e o comportamento alimentar. RESULTADOS: As classificações feitas com base nos dados autorreferidos e aferidos tiveram concordância alta (K = 1,00) para a classificação da estatura por idade e moderada (K < 0,75) para a classificação de índice de massa corporal. No entanto, adolescentes que se consideravam "abaixo do peso" subestimaram o índice de massa corporal autorrelatado e, os que se percebiam como "gordos", o superestimaram. As meninas e os que se classificaram como obesos tenderam a subestimar o índice de massa corporal, e os meninos, a superestimá-lo. CONCLUSÃO: Os adolescentes autorrelataram suas medidas de massa e estatura de maneira adequada. No entanto, o sexo, a percepção e a classificação da imagem corporal foram variáveis que influenciaram na obtenção de respostas não válidas. OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability of the classification for nutritional status and height-for-age when using self-reported weight and height and its relationships with self-reported data of body image perception and satisfaction among adolescents. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 304 adolescents before they had measured their height and weight, they self-reported these measures, they were asked about their body shape perception and body image classification was obtained by using a body silhouette scale. It was also used specific tests to assess body satisfaction and food behavior. RESULTS: It was found full agreement between height-for-age classification using self-reported and measured height (k = 1.00) and an intermediate level of agreement between body mass index calculated with self-reported and measured data (k < 0.75). However, adolescents who perceived themselves as "skinny" underestimated their self-reported body mass index whereas those who perceived themselves as "fat" overestimated it. Those who perceived themselves as fat in the silhouette scale underestimated their body mass index. Gender was also a factor for unreliable answers, as females tended to underestimate their self-reported body mass index and males to overestimate it. CONCLUSION: The adolescents adequately self-reported weight and height information. However, body shape perception and body image classification were factors affecting answer reliability.

A deficiência de ferro ocorre quando as reservas nutricionais de ferro são esgotadas, principalmente devido ao balanço negativo entre ingestão e requerimentos de ferro. Quando a deficiência de ferro é severa desenvolve-se então a anemia por deficiência de ferro. A reposição dos estoques deve ser feita por meio de suplementação medicamentosa. A estratégia de educação nutricional, que visa o consumo quantitativo e qualitativo adequado de alimentos, fontes dos diversos nutrientes, é uma alternativa que possui baixo custo e não produz efeitos indesejáveis. O presente trabalho apresenta as recomendações nutricionais para a prevenção da deficiência de ferro e para o paciente com deficiência de ferro. A avaliação da ingestão alimentar e posterior orientação alimentar são importantes para contribuir com o tratamento e para mudar práticas alimentares, evitando assim a reocorrência da deficiência de ferro. Os grupos mais vulneráveis para a deficiência de ferro e que merecem atenção especial são as crianças, gestantes e mulheres em idade fértil. Iron deficiency occurs when nutritional iron reserves are used up mainly as a result of a negative balance between intake and requirements. When iron deficiency is severe, the patient evolves with iron deficiency anaemia. Replacement of iron reserves is normally by means of a medicinal supplement. One low cost alternative that does not present unwanted side effects is nutritional education which aims at quantitatively and qualitatively improving the consumption of foods and thus provide a healthy diet. The current study presents nutritional guidelines both for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anaemia. It is important that an evaluation of dietary intake is made and that dietary counseling is followed to assist treatment and to change eating habits, thereby preventing the recurrence of iron deficiency. The most vulnerable groups for iron deficiency warrant special attention, and include children, pregnant women and women of childbearing age.

A preocupação com a aparência e a estética pode levar ao consumo indiscriminado de suplementos nas academias. Os fatores relacionados ao consumo de suplementos em 201 jovens entre 15 e 25 anos freqüentadores de academias de ginástica da cidade de São Paulo foram investigados através da aplicação de formulário próprio. O uso de suplementos é relatado por 61,2% (n = 123) da amostra. Os homens usam mais suplementos que as mulheres (p < 0,001) e os adolescentes tendem a utilizar mais que os adultos jovens (p = 0,07). Os suplementos mais utilizados são bebidas esportiva (12%), hipercalóricos (12%), aminoácidos (10%), proteínas (10%) e creatina (8%), basicamente por auto-prescrição (42,8%) e pela indicação de treinadores (27,5%). O consumo de suplementos é significativamente maior entre aqueles que se exercitam há mais tempo; freqüentam a academia há mais tempo; e ficam na academia mais horas/semana. Ter amigos usuários (p = 0,03) e/ou um usuário em casa (p = 0,01) influencia no consumo de suplementos. O consumo de suplementos é uma prática que faz parte da realidade das academias de ginástica e o ambiente é favorecedor do uso desses produtos. The concern with physical appearance and aesthetics in fitness centers can lead to an indiscriminate use of supplements. A questionnaire was used to investigate factors relating to supplement use among 201 young users of fitness centers in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Supplement use was reported by 61.2% (n = 23) of the sample. Men use more supplements than women (p < 0.001) and adolescents tend to use them more than young adults (p = 0.07). The supplements most used by this group are sports drinks (12%); high-calorie "gainers" (12%), amino acids (10%), proteins (10%) and creatine (8%). The supplements are taken trough own initiative (42.8%) and trainers' recommendation (27.5%). Those who have been exercising for a longer time, go more often to the fitness centers, and devote more time to exercise/week are significantly more involved in supplement use. The presence of user friends (p = 0.03) and/or a user at home (p = 0.01) also influences on the use of supplements. Supplement use is a widespread, common practice at fitness centers, whose environment favors their use.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar se o conteúdo de auto-anticorpos anti-LDL oxidada (anti-LDLox) no plasma de adolescentes correlaciona-se com suas medidas antropométricas e com o perfil lipídico. MÉTODOS: O estudo incluiu 150 adolescentes com idade entre 10 e 15 anos, recrutados do ambulatório de obesidade da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (SP) e de escolas públicas de Piracicaba (SP). Foram avaliadas medidas antropométricas, como índice de massa corporal, circunferência de cintura e do braço, classificando os adolescentes em eutrófico, sobrepeso e obeso. Para as análises bioquímicas, foi realizado o perfil lipídico através de métodos enzimáticos colorimétricos, e para detecção do conteúdo de auto-anticorpos anti-LDLox, utilizou-se o método de ELISA. RESULTADOS: Segundo análises das variáveis antropométricas, o grupo obeso apresentou perfil alterado em relação aos grupos eutrófico e sobrepeso (p < 0,01), indicando risco cardiovascular. Quando o perfil lipídico foi avaliado, observaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas para as concentrações de colesterol total (p = 0,011), HDL-colesterol (p = 0,001) e LDL-colesterol (p < 0,042) nos grupos eutrófico e obeso. Para as análises de auto-anticorpos anti-LDLox plasmática, os grupos sobrepeso (p = 0,012) e obeso (p < 0,001) apresentaram valores superiores ao grupo eutrófico. Também houve correlações entre os auto-anticorpos anti-LDLox e variáveis antropométricas. CONCLUSÃO: A presença de auto-anticorpos anti-LDLox em adolescentes e as alterações metabólicas no perfil lipídico variaram de modo proporcional com parâmetros antropométricos, o que torna o conteúdo de anti-LDLox um potencial indicador bioquímico de risco para síndrome metabólica. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether levels of autoantibodies to oxidized LDL (anti-oxLDL) in the plasma of adolescents correlates with their anthropometric measurements and lipid profiles. METHODS: The study enrolled 150 adolescents aged between 10 and 15 years, recruited from the obesity clinic at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (SP) and from public schools in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. Anthropometric measurements such as body mass index and waist and arm circumferences were used to classify the adolescents as having healthy weight, overweight or obesity. Colorimetric enzymatic methods were used for biochemical lipid profile analysis and ELISA was used to determine anti-oxLDL autoantibody levels. RESULTS: Analysis of anthropometric variables indicated that the obese group's profile was abnormal compared to the healthy weight and overweight groups (p < 0.01), indicating cardiovascular risk. Analysis of the lipid profiles demonstrated statistically significant differences in concentrations of total cholesterol (p = 0.011), HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.001) and LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.042) between the healthy weight group and the obese group. Analysis of plasma anti-oxLDL autoantibodies demonstrated that the overweight (p = 0.012) and obese groups (p < 0.001) had higher values than the healthy weight group. There were also correlations between anti-oxLDL autoantibody levels and anthropometric variables. CONCLUSIONS: In adolescents the presence of anti-oxLDL autoantibodies and metabolic changes to the lipid profile vary in proportion with anthropometric parameters, which makes anti-oxLDL concentration a potential biochemical indicator of risk of metabolic syndrome.

O objetivo deste estudo populacional foi verificar as prevalências de sobrepeso e obesidade em escolas públicas e particulares da cidade de Santos, SP. Foram avaliadas crianças de 7 a 10 anos de idade, num total de 10.822 crianças. Para a determinação de sobrepeso e obesidade foram utilizados, respectivamente, os percentis 85 e 95 do IMC por idade propostos pelos Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC (2000). As prevalências totais de sobrepeso e obesidade foram de 15,7% (IC 95%= 15,0% a 16,4%) e 18,0% (17,3% a 18,7%), respectivamente. A prevalência de sobrepeso foi de 13,7% (12,6% a 14,8%) nos meninos e 14,8% (13,7% a 15,9%) nas meninas das escolas públicas. Nas escolas particulares, foi de 17,7% (15,7% a 19,7%) nos meninos e 22,2% (20,0% a 24,4%) nas meninas. A obesidade foi prevalente em 16,9% (15,7% a 18,1%) dos meninos e 14,3% (13,2% a 15,4%) das meninas das escolas públicas. Nas escolas particulares, 29,8% (27,4% a 32,2%) dos meninos e 20,3% (18,2% a 22,4%) das meninas foram diagnosticados como obesos. Concluímos que a prevalência de obesidade é superior à de estudos nacionais e latino-americanos. Escolas privadas apresentaram prevalência de obesidade maior que escolas públicas (p= 0,001). The aim of this population-based study was to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in public and private schools of Santos city, Brazil. We evaluated a total of 10,822 children aged 7 to 10 years old. Determination of overweight and obesity was obtained by the 85th and 95th percentiles of BMI for age, respectively, as proposed by CDC in 2000. The overall prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 15.7% (CI 95%= 15.0% to 16.4%) and 18.0% (17.3% to 18.7%), respectively. The prevalence of overweight was 13.7% (12.6% a 14.8%) in boys and 14.8% (13.7% a 15.9%) in girls of public schools. In private schools, the rates were 17.7% (15.7% to 19.7%) in boys and 22.2% (20.0% to 24.4%) in girls. Obesity was found in 16.9% (15.7% to 18.1%) of the boys and 14.3% (13.2% to 15.4%) of the girls of public schools. In the private schools, 29.8% (27.4% to 32.2%) of the boys and 20.3% (18.2% to 22.4%) of the girls were obese. We concluded that the prevalence of obesity in public and private schools in the city of Santos is higher than other studies conducted in Brazil and in other countries of Latin America. Private schools showed higher prevalence rates of obesity than public schools (p= 0.001).

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as influências do exercício aeróbio e anaeróbio na composição corporal de adolescentes obesos do sexo masculino. A amostra foi constituída de 28 adolescentes com idades entre 15 e 19 anos, que apresentavam obesidade grave. Os voluntários foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos: grupo I: exercício anaeróbio; grupo II: exercício aeróbio; e grupo III: controle. O grupo I realizou treinamento intervalado em cicloergômetro que consistiu de 12 "tiros" de 30" com máxima força e velocidade, pedalando com carga alta (0,8% do massa corporal x 25 watts) e recuperação ativa de 3'; o grupo II realizou treinamento aeróbio em cicloergômetro pedalando com carga relativa ao limiar ventilatório por 50 minutos. Já o terceiro grupo funcionou como controle, sem atividade física. Todos os grupos tiveram orientação nutricional e o período de intervenção foi de 12 semanas (três meses). Os voluntários realizaram densitometria óssea com análise da composição corporal (DEXA) e avaliações médicas e de aptidão física. Quando comparados os períodos inicial e final de intervenção foram observadas reduções nas variáveis massa corporal, IMC, na massa de gordura corporal total e de membros inferiores e na percentagem de gordura corporal de tronco nos grupos de exercício. Diferenças foram observadas entre os grupos I e III para os deltas percentuais de massa de gordura corporal total e de membros inferiores e na percentagem de gordura de membros inferiores. Os dados sugerem que o exercício físico, tanto aeróbio como anaeróbio, aliado à orientação nutricional, promove maior redução ponderal, quando comparado com a orientação nutricional somente, e que, neste estudo, o exercício anaeróbio foi mais eficiente para promover a diminuição da gordura corporal e da percentagem de gordura e o exercício aeróbio foi mais eficaz no sentido de preservar e/ou aumentar a massa magra e a massa livre de gordura. The aim of this study was to verify the influences of anaerobic and aerobic exercise in the body composition of obese male adolescents. The sample was constituted of 28 adolescents with ages ranging from 15 and 19 years, and severe obesity. The volunteers were divided into three groups and for all groups was provided nutritional orientation. The intervention period was 12 weeks. Group I accomplished interval training in a cycle ergometer that consisted of 12 shots of 30 sec. with maximum power and speed, pedaling with high load (0.8% of the body weight x 25 watts) and 3 min recover. Group II accomplished aerobic training in a cycle ergometer pedaling with relative load to the ventilatory threshold for 50 min. Group III served as control, and was not submitted to physical activity. All volunteers underwent bone densitometry with analysis of the body composition (DEXA) and medical and fitness evaluations. For the variables weight and BMI exercise groups presented reductions when initial and final interventions periods were compared. Regarding to the body composition, there was a decrease in total body and lower limbs fat mass (in grams) and in the fat percentage of the lower limbs in the exercise groups when initial and final periods were compared. There was a significant difference between groups I and II for the percentile deltas of total body fat mass and of lower limbs and in the percentage of fat of lower limbs. The data suggest that anaerobic and aerobic exercise with nutritional orientation promoted a larger weight reduction, when compared with nutritional orientation only. The anaerobic exercise proposed in this study was more efficient to produce reduction of body fat and fat percentage. The aerobic exercise seemed to have been more effective preserving and/or increasing free fat mass. El objetivo de este estudio fue el de verificar las influencias del ejercicio aeróbico y anaeróbico en la composición corporal de los adolescentes obesos del sexo masculino. La muestra estubo constituida por 28 adolescentes con edades entre los 18 y los 19 años, que presentaban obesidad grave. Los voluntarios fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en tres grupos - grupo I: ejercicio aeróbico, grupo II: ejercicio anaeróbico; grupo III: control. El grupo I realizó un entrenamiento intervalado en cicloergómetro que consistió en 12 "tiros" de 30" a máxima fuerza y velocidad pedaleando con carga alta (0,8% de masa corporal x 25 watts) y una recuperación activa de 3'. El grupo II realizó un entrenamiento aeróbico en cicloergometro pedaleando con una carga relativa a nivel ventilatorio por 50 minutos. Y el grupo III funcionó como control, sin actividad física. Todos los grupos tuvieron una orientación nutricional y el periodo de intervención fue de 12 semanas (tres meses). Los voluntarios realizaron una densitometría ósea con análisis de la composición corporal (DEXA) y evaluaciones médicas y de aptitud física. Cuando se compararon los períodos inicial y final de la intervención se observaron reducciones en las variables de la masa corporal, IMC, la masa grasa corporal total y la de los miembros inferiores, así como el porcentaje de grasa corporal del tronco en los grupos de ejercicio. Las diferencias fueron observadas entre los grupos I y III para los deltas percentuales de masa grasa corporal total y de los miembros inferiores así como en el porcentaje de grasa de los miembros inferiores. Estos datos sugieren que el ejercicio físico tanto aeróbico como anaeróbico, unido a la orientación nutricional, promueven una mayor reducción ponderal cuando se los compara con la orientación nutricional solamente, y que, en este estudio, el ejercicio anaeróbico fue más eficiente para promover una disminución de grasa corporal y del porcentaje de grasa; y el ejercicio aeróbico fue más eficaz en el sentido de preservar y/o aumentar la masa magra y la masa libre de grasa.

Objectives: to determine the prevalence of excess weight in schoolchildren from the city of Natal. Methods: transversal study with 1927 children aged 6-11 from public and private schools in different zones in the city of Natal, in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, and analyze related variables, such as gender, age-group, type of school and city zones. All scholars with a body mass index equal to or greater than the 85th percentile were considered as having excess weight. Results: the prevalence of excess weight among the studied scholars was 33.6%. There were no significant differences between genders and age-groups. In the private schools, the prevalence of excess weight was 54.5%, while in the public schools, 15.6% (p<0.01; OR =6.49). The prevalence of excess weight was greater in schools located in the zones with the best quality of life, east-south zone (41.3%), if compared with schools in the north-west zone (28.4%) (p<0.01). Conclusions: the prevalence of excess weight in scholars was found high, demonstrating the importance of programs of treatment and prevention. The biggest prevalence in children studying in private schools and in children studying in schools located in the best zone of the city reflects the importance of association between the best socioeconomic levels and these entities in regions of developing countries.

Estabeleceu-se um programa multidisciplinar de intervenção educacional e nutricional dirigido a pré-escolares da cidade de Rio Claro (São Paulo), visando a prevenção e recuperação de desnutridos, utilizando recursos da própria comunidade, sem a necessidade de dotações extraordinárias (Projeto Rio Claro). Uma equipe formada por médicos pediatras, assistentes sociais e auxiliares de saúde, coordenados por um pediatra, utilizou nove pré-escolas municipais como base para o funcionamento de um projeto inter -institucional, estabelecendo a escola como centro de saúde auxiliar. O projeto Rio Claro atingiu 2.700 crianças de 3 a 6 anos de escolas centrais e periféricas da cidade, sendo que 1.821 foram analisadas no decorrer de um período letivo, durante o ano de 1983. A intervenção nutricional constou de um reforço da me renda escolar por meio de alimentos pré-preparados, da administração federal e estadual, alimentos das hortas escolares e municipal, além de genéros ofertados pela comunidade. Uma nutricionista coordenou estagiárias de nutrição na reorganização das condições de alimentação dos escolares através da racionalização de cardápios, estoques, preparo e treinamento dos responsáveis pelos alimentos. Atingiu-se com isto a elevação da ingestão média "per capita" de 5 para 35% das necessidades diárias em calorias. A intervenção educacional consistiu de um programa de prevenção e recuperação de desnutridos, em que as crianças em risco ou afetadas pela desnutrição eram avaliadas na pré-escola, acompanhadas por seus responsáveis, por médicos, nutricionistas e assistentes sociais. Um programa de educação intensivo em sa6 de e nutrição era desenvolvido pela equipe aos pais e crianças da pré-escola, por meio de palestras, discussões e teatralizagao. Paralelamente um programa de treinamento reciproco foi estabele cido entre os integrantes do projeto, com a participação de pro fessoras, diretoras, psicólogas e odontólogos, com posterior tensão à comunidade. ex Para analise do projeto estabeleceram-se avaliações do nível sócio-econômico e antropometria das crianças ao principio e final do programa. Verificou-se que apesar da piora da estado social da população no decorrer do programa (indices sociais ren da independentes de GRAFFAR), não houve aumento da incidência de desnutridos. Em relação a prevalência, verificou-se que os des nutridos evoluiram favoravelmente, avaliados por Indices antropo métricos que permitem a detecção precoce de mudanças, como a va riagao dos canais de percentil (peso para idade). Concluiu-se que a implantação de um amplo projeto mul tidisciplinar a baixos custos, é extremamente viável, com a par ticipagao da comunidade e o interêsse dos responsáveis adminis trativos pela população-alvo. A multidisciplinary program has been carried out by means of an educational and nutritional intervention for preschool students of Rio Claro City (São Paulo), aiming at the prevention and recuperation of under -nourished children by utilizing the community own resources with no need of extra provisions (Rio Claro Project). A team consisting of pediatrists, social assistants and health service helpers, coordinated by a pediatrist, working with 9 (nine) municipal pre-schools as a has been base for an inter -institutional project which establishes the school as the true center for health support. The Rio Claro Project reached 2.700 children ranging from 3 to 6 years of age of the central and peripherical school around the town, being 1.821 of them analysed during the school period in 1983. The educational intervention comprised inforced school meals by means of previously prepared food received from federal and state government administration, food from the municipal school vegetable gardens, besides food provisions donated by the community. A nutritionist coordinated a group of nutrition trainees for the reorganization of the students feeding through the rationalization of the menus, stocks, preparation and training of the people in charge of the provisions keeping. With these measures it was attained an average per capita of 5 to 35% of daily ingestion of necessary calories. The educational intervention performed a preventive and recuperative under -fed children program, where children with exposure to or affected by under -nourishment, escorted by their parents, were evaluated during the pre-school period by physicians, nutritionists and social assistants. Mn intensive educational program on health and suitable nutriticn was developed by the group towards the parents of the pre-school children through conferences, discussions and dramatization. Parallely, a reciprocal training program was set up among the people involved in the project, with participation of teachers, principals, psychiatrists and odontologists, with extension to the community. For an analysis of the project, the social-economical standards were evaluated and children antropometry was carried out from the start up to the end of the project. It was ascertained that, though social conditions of the people had worsened during the program (social indexes, income, and GRAFFAR) there Was no increase of incidence of under -nourished children. With respect to prevalence, it was found out that the under -nourished children had developed favorably in accordance with anthropometry parameters evaluation carried out, which enables aprecocious detection of physical changes, as variation of growing up rates (weight according with age). The conclusion was that the implantation of an ample multidisciplinary project at low costs is extremely feasible with the participation of the whole community and full interest of the administrators responsible for the focused-population.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012 Muitas adolescentes deixam suas famílias para seguir a profissão de modelo, sonhando com um futuro glamoroso. O presente estudo caso-controle analisou a qualidade de vida de 74 adolescentes do sexo feminino, sendo 37 modelos, agenciadas em São Paulo, com delineamento transversal, utilizando o World Health Organization Quality of Life - versão breve (WHOQOL-BREF), que avalia qualidade de vida global e os domínios físico, psicológico, social e ambiental. Utilizou-se o Critério Brasil 2008, para avaliação do nível socioeconômico e para parear o grupo controle. Em geral, o grupo de modelos obteve médias superiores ao grupo de não modelos, sendo esta diferença significante apenas no domínio psicológico. Observou-se que as adolescentes modelos apresentaram uma qualidade de vida semelhante à das não modelos. Many adolescent girls leave their families to pursue a modeling career, dreaming of a glamorous future. The present cross-sectional case-control study analyzed the quality of life of 74 female adolescents, 37 of whom were models at agencies in the city of São Paulo (Brazil), using the World Health Organization Quality of Life -BREF questionnaire, which analyzes physical, psychological, social and environmental domains. The Brazil Criteria 2008 were used for the assessment of socioeconomic status and for pairing the control group. The group of models generally achieved higher mean scores than the non-model group, with the difference only significant on the psychological subscale. The results show that the teenage models had a similar quality of life to that of the non-models.

Obesity is currently considered a public health problem and there has been growing interest in the study of various aspects related to this infirmity such as: epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and others. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of weight excess and overweight in preschoolers in Natal, Brazil and relate them to variables such as gender, age, type of school (public or private) and zones of the city (east/south and north/west). This is a transversal study, carried out in Natal, Brazil between August and September 2004, in 20 public and 20 private schools/day care centers selected by the systematic sampling method. We measured the weight and height of 3721 students between the ages of 2 and 6 years. The children were stratified, according to age, into age group 1 (2 to 4 years) and age group 2 (5 and 6 years) and according to the region of the school, into north/west and east/south zones, the regions with the smallest and highest quality of life indices in the city, respectively. Children were considered to have weight excess when BMI ≥ 85th percentile, including those with BMI ≥ 95th percentile and overweight when BMI ≥ 95th percentile. The prevalence of weight excess was 26.5%, and of overweight 12.4%. There was greater prevalence of weight excess in the private schools and in the east/south zones. Overweight displayed the same epidemiologic profile, with a greater prevalence in private schools and in the east/south zones. The prevalence of weight excess in preschoolers in Natal, Brazil is high and is related, above all, to private schools and to those located in the highest quality of life areas. Therefore, prevention programs should be implanted in elementary schools in order to decrease weight excess and possible associated co-morbidities. This research project met the norms established by PPGCSa/UFRN and aimed at promoting the interrelation between different researchers and between different fields of knowledge, using multi and interdisciplinary concepts. This study was enriched by the interaction between the following professionals: pediatrician, pediatric gastroenterologist and physician nutrition specialist, pediatric endocrinologist, epidemiologist and biostatistician A obesidade é considerada, atualmente, problema de saúde pública, observando-se interesse crescente em estudar os vários aspectos relacionados a essa enfermidade como: epidemiologia, diagnóstico, tratamento, prevenção e outros. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a prevalência do excesso de peso e sobrepeso em pré-escolares de Natal e relacionar essa doença a variáveis tais como: gênero, idade, tipo de escola (pública ou privada) e zonas da cidade (leste/sul e norte/oeste). Trata-se de estudo transversal, realizado na Cidade do Natal / RN, de agosto a dezembro de 2004, em 20 escolas/creches públicas e 20 privadas, selecionadas através do método de amostragem sistemática, com sorteio ponderado. Foi preenchido protocolo e verificado o peso e a estatura de 3721 alunos de 2 a 7 anos incompletos. As crianças foram estratificadas, segundo a idade, em faixa etária 1 (2 a 5 anos incompletos) e faixa etária 2 (5 a 7 anos incompletos) e, segundo a região da escola, em zonas norte/oeste e zonas leste/sul, regiões com menores e maiores índices de qualidade de vida da cidade, respectivamente. Considerou-se como excesso de peso todas as crianças com IMC ≥ percentil 85, inclusive aquelas com IMC ≥ percentil 95, e sobrepeso quando IMC ≥ percentil 95. A prevalência de excesso de peso encontrada foi 26,5%, sendo 12,4% sobrepeso. Houve maior prevalência de excesso de peso nas escolas privadas e nas zonas leste/sul. O sobrepeso apresentou o mesmo perfil epidemiológico, com maior prevalência nas escolas privadas e nas zonas leste/sul. A prevalência do excesso de peso em pré-escolares na Cidade do Natal é alta e está relacionada, sobretudo, às escolas privadas e àquelas situadas em regiões de maior índice de qualidade de vida. Portanto, há a necessidade de implantação de programas de prevenção e controle nas escolas a partir da educação infantil, com objetivo de diminuir e prevenir o excesso de peso e suas possíveis co-morbidades associadas. Esse projeto de pesquisa atendeu às expectativas do PPGCSa/UFRN, que tem, dentre seus objetivos, promover a inter-relação entre diferentes pesquisadores e entre diferentes áreas do conhecimento, utilizando os conceitos de multi e interdisciplinaridade. Para a realização deste trabalho, houve a interação de diversos profissionais: pediatra, gastroenterologista e nutrologista pediátrico, endocrinologista pediátrico, epidemiologista e bioestatístico, contribuindo para o enriquecimento da pesquisa e satisfazendo tais relações

- Abstract
Objective: To review current evidence on the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and feeding difficulties., Methods: Review the Science Direct and PubMed databases between 2007 and 2017 in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The search terms, used in association, were "obsessive compulsive disorder" and "picky eating/feeding difficulty". Cohort, case control and cross sectional studies were included that analyzed children, adolescents and/or adults of any sample size from any country in the world. Opinion articles were excluded., Results: Around 245 articles were selected, and only 4 were included in this review, according to previous criteria. Results from the studies essentially described that there is indeed a difference in "picky" behaviors between subjects with and without obsessive-compulsive disorder. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder tend to have exacerbated symptoms of disgust, anxiety and a higher eating behavior inflexibility score., Conclusions: Obsessive-compulsive disorder and feeding difficulties patients share common symptoms. The present study alerts health professionals who follow patients with feeding difficulties as to the importance of investigating possible psychiatric comorbidities.

- Abstract
Objective: To establish waist circumference cut off points according to pubertal staging to identify overweight in adolescents., Methods: Longitudinal study approved by the Ethics Research Committee and conducted with 557 adolescents, aged 10 to 15 years old, selected from public schools. Waist, arm, neck and hip circumferences, body fat percentage, body mass index (BMI), height and blood pressure were measured. Pubertal staging was evaluated by Tanner self assessment scale. The Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC curve) was used to determine predictive power, sensitivity, specificity and waist circumference cut off points to detect overweight., Results: There was a positive correlation between waist circumference and weight, BMI, upper arm and hip circumferences, waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure in both sexes. Cut off points for waist circumference according to pubertal stage as related to overweight in adolescents with the best performances in ROC curve were: 71.65 cm for prepubescent girls, 67.90 cm for pubescent girls, 70.25 cm for post pubescent girls, and 66.45 cm for pubescent boys. Age, weight, height, BMI, body fat percentage, arm and hip circumferences were associated to altered waist circumference., Conclusions: The establishment of cut off points for waist circumference according to pubertal staging was proven a good means to identify overweight. These cut off points can be considered reliable for the Brazilian adolescent population, as the isolated use of chronological age in adolescents may underestimate their nutritional status.

- Abstract
Objective: To analyze and compare the changes in physical fitness according to the nutritional status and gender of schoolchildren during a period of 30 years (1980-2010)., Methods: Four cross-sectional evaluations were performed every 10 years in a period of 30 years from 1978 to 1980 (baseline), 1988-1990 (10 years), 1998-2000 (20 years) and 2008-2010 (30 years). The sample consisted of 1,291 schoolchildren (188 in baseline, 307 in 10 years; 375 in 20 years; 421 in 30 years) of 10 and 11 years old. The variables assessed were: body weight (kg), height (cm), upper limb strength (ULS; kg), lower limb strength (LLS; cm), agility (seconds) and velocity (seconds). Schoolchildren were classified as normal weight and overweight according to World Health Organization reference of body mass index for age and gender. Comparisons among periods applied ANOVA folled by Bonferroni test, with a significance level set at of p<0.01. Variation between baseline and 30 years was assessed by the percentage delta. Seven different percentile values were presented for each variable., Results: In eutrophic boys and girls, mean values of ULS (-16.7%; -3.2%), agility (-1.5%; -1.6%) decreased significantly after 30 years (p<0,001). In the overweight boys and girls, only the average ULS (-15.5%; -12.5%) decreased significantly over time (p<0,001). After 30 years, the ULS percentile changed in boys., Conclusions: the decline in physical fitness was greater in schoolchildren with normal weight than in those with overweight., (Copyright © 2015 Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate regional differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practice in emergency contraception use among Brazilian university students. A sample of university students answered a semi-structured questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, and practice related to emergency contraception and sexual behavior. Fisher's exact test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Ninety-six percent (n = 588) of the students had heard of emergency contraception, and 19% (n = 111) knew all the situations in which emergency contraception is indicated, with statistical differences between regions of the country. Forty-two percent of sexually active women in the sample had already used emergency contraception; 35% (n = 207) of students equated emergency contraception with abortion; and 81% (n = 473) thought emergency contraception involves health risks. No significant difference was observed between regions of the country regarding use and attitudes towards emergency contraception. Inter-regional differences in knowledge had no impact on students' attitudes and practice in emergency contraception. National awareness-raising campaigns are needed to improve knowledge on emergency contraception.

- Abstract
Objectives: To examine the prevalence of under and overreporting of energy intake in adolescents and their associated factors., Methods: Cross-sectional study with 96 postpubertal adolescents (47 normal-weight and 49 obese), mean age of 16.6±1.3 years. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index was calculated. Body composition was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Dietary intake was evaluated by a 3-day dietary record. Biochemical assessment was performed (serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, plasma glucose, and insulin). Underreporters reported energy intake < 1.35 x basal metabolic rate (BMR), whereas overreporters reported energy intake > 2.4 x BMR., Results: Energy intake misreporting (under or overreporting) was identified in 65.6% of adolescents (64.6 and 1% of under and overreporting, respectively). Obese adolescents were 5.0 times more likely to underreport energy intake (95%CI 2.0-12.7) than normal-weight participants. Underreporters showed higher rates of insufficient intake of carbohydrate (19.3 vs. 12.1%, p = 0.046) and lipids (11.3 vs. 0%, p < 0.001) than plausible reporters. Cholesterol intake was also lower in underreporters (p = 0.017). There were no significant differences in body composition and biochemical parameters in relation to misreporting., Conclusions: The results obtained demonstrated a high percentage of misreporting of energy intake among adolescents, especially among obese subjects, which suggests that energy-adjusted nutrient intake values should be employed in diet-disease risk analysis in order to contribute to a reduction in errors associated with misreporting.

- Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the extent of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) among preschool children in the city of Recife, Northeast Brazil. The sample comprised 344 children of both sexes, 24 to 60 months old, in 18 public day care centres in the city of Recife, in 2007. The nutritional status of vitamin A was assessed by biochemical (serum retinol) and dietetic (vitamin A rich-food consumption) indicators and the pondo-stature status through anthropometric indicators weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height. The prevalence of hyporetinolemia (< 0.70 micromol/L) was 7.7% (IC 95% 4.88 - 11.81), which characterizes the VAD as a light-type public health problem, according to World Health Organization criteria. On the other hand, 29.6% (IC 95% 24.22 - 35.63) of children had acceptable or marginal levels (0.70 to 1.04 micromol/L) of retinol. Regarding the vitamin A rich-food intake, values below the EAR (Estimated Average Requirement) - 210 microg/ day for children of 1 to 3 years old and 275 microg/day for children of 4 to 8 years old - were 8.1% and 21.3% respectively. The prevalence of anthropometrical deficits (< -2 scores -Z) in preschool children were 2.5% for the indicator weight-for-age, 8.6% for height-for-age and 1.5% for weight-for-height. The research findings point out to the importance of institutionalization for the appropriate nutritional status of children and maintenance of adequate reserves of vitamin A. However, more studies are needed focusing on non-institutionalized preschool, or children living outside the privileged environment of public day care centres.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) and to relate it to the food intake and body composition of adolescent runway models., Methods: Cross-sectional study evaluating 33 models and 33 non-models aged from 15 to 18 years, paired by age and body mass index (BMI). BMD of spine (L1-L4) was evaluated using the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry technique (Lunar DPX Alpha), and body composition was assessed by means of plethysmography. Food intake was evaluated by a 3-day-food record., Results: The subjects' mean age was 16.75+/-1.04 years, and 24% had BMI below ideal value for their age. BMD values (g/cm2) were similar between models (1.108+/-0.080) and non-models (1.096+/-0.102) (p > 0.05), and 6% of the participants had low BMD for age. We found that the mean energy intake was lower among models as compared to non-models (1,480.93+/-582.95 vs. 1,973.00+/-557.63 kcal) (p < 0.05) and that most of the adolescents in both groups presented an inadequate consumption of micronutrients, with emphasis to the low calcium intakes. There was only significant correlation between BMD and lean body mass (kg) (r = 0.362 for models and r = 0.618 for non-models) (p < 0.05)., Conclusion: Although no association was found between BMD, BMI, and intake of nutrients which are important for the bone mineralization process, inadequacies of food intake have an adverse influence on the acquisition of bone mass, which is more effective at this stage of life.

- Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between serum levels of vitamin D and blood pressure (BP) in adolescents., Methods: The anthropometric measurements, body composition, dietary intake, blood pressure and biochemical measurements was undertaken., Results: Two hundred and five adolescents, 106 boys and 99 girls, mean aged 18.2 years old, participate of the study. Elevated BP was observed in 12.19% of the adolescents. Mean 25OHD concentration was 29.2(0.8) ng/mL. Vitamin D insufficiency was observed in 62% of adolescents. There were no correlation between systolic and diastolic BP with 25OHD and 1,25(OH)2D concentration. An inverse correlation between adiponectin and diastolic BP was observed and positive significant correlation was observed between waist circumference with systolic and diastolic BP in both boys and in girls. In conclusion, no relationships between vitamin D levels and blood pressure were observed., Conclusion: However, the intra-abdominal adiposity offers potential risk to BP elevation in adolescents.

- Abstract
Objective: To verify the effects of weight loss on bone mass of obese adolescents submitted to a nutritional intervention based on a hypocaloric diet and nutritional advice over a nine-month-period., Methods: Anthropometry, body composition, BMD and dietary intake were evaluated., Results: Fifty-five adolescents, 78.2% females, within an average age of 16.6 (1.4) years old participated in the study. Sixteen participants who completed the study did not lose weight. The group that adhered to the nutritional intervention had a mean weight loss of 6.2 (4.6)% baseline. There was a significant increase in total BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) in those adolescents who did not lose weight, while increased BMC and bone area were verified in participants who lost weight, mainly when associated with body composition alterations while changing weight., Conclusion: The increment in bone mineral density, even throughout weight loss, has showed no negative effect on bone mass and has also emphasized the importance of nutritional improvement in total bone mass during adolescence.

- Abstract
Objective: The escalating prevalence of obesity has led to an increase in the blood pressure of children and adolescents. This works aims to assess the relation between blood pressure and obesity in school children of Santos., Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in two phases. In a first screening we measured blood pressure and performed anthropometric evaluation of 7.440 children (9.0 +/- 1.1 years, 3891 or 52% of girls). Then a sample, including 1.713 children (9.7 +/- 1.1 years, 826 or 48% of girls), among those who presented with blood pressure equal to or above the 90 percentile in the screening phase was selected and visited again for new blood pressure and anthropometric measurements. In both phases of the study we considered as high blood pressure those values equal to or higher than the 95 percentile for the gender and stature of each individual., Results: In the screening phase 1.123/7.440 (15%) of children presented high blood pressure; obese children presented an increased frequency of high blood pressure (OR = 3.7 95% CI=3.2 4.3). In the second phase 43/1.713 (2.7%) presented high blood pressure; obese children again presented an increased frequency of high blood pressure (OR = 1.5 95% CI=1.2 1.8). Moreover we observed a progressive rise of systolic blood pressure parallel to the BMI at all intervals of BMI and not only in obese children., Conclusion: Our work reinforces data in literature suggesting increased risk of high blood pressure among obese children. Increase in blood pressure may be cumulative with BMI rise, not only in obese children.

- Abstract
The aim of this population-based study was to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in public and private schools of Santos city, Brazil. We evaluated a total of 10,822 children aged 7 to 10 years old. Determination of overweight and obesity was obtained by the 85th and 95th percentiles of BMI for age, respectively, as proposed by CDC in 2000. The overall prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 15.7% (CI 95%= 15.0% to 16.4%) and 18.0% (17.3% to 18.7%), respectively. The prevalence of overweight was 13.7% (12.6% a 14.8%) in boys and 14.8% (13.7% a 15.9%) in girls of public schools. In private schools, the rates were 17.7% (15.7% to 19.7%) in boys and 22.2% (20.0% to 24.4%) in girls. Obesity was found in 16.9% (15.7% to 18.1%) of the boys and 14.3% (13.2% to 15.4%) of the girls of public schools. In the private schools, 29.8% (27.4% to 32.2%) of the boys and 20.3% (18.2% to 22.4%) of the girls were obese. We concluded that the prevalence of obesity in public and private schools in the city of Santos is higher than other studies conducted in Brazil and in other countries of Latin America. Private schools showed higher prevalence rates of obesity than public schools (p= 0.001).

- Abstract
Objective: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief intervention and a preventive orientation on the use of alcohol and other drugs directed towards adolescents., Methods: Ninety nine youths who sought medical assistance in an out patient service specialized in adolescents were classified, according to their level of consumption of substances, into users during the last month (UM) or non users during the last month (NUM). Each of these was divided into four groups: a control group of users in the last month (COUM), a control group of non users in the last month (CONUM), a Brief Intervention group (BI--in case they were regular users) and a Preventive Orientation group (PO--in case they were non users in the last month). The preventive orientation lasted 2-3 minutes and the brief intervention took about 20 minutes, both followed a structured schedule. All participants were followed-up and evaluated for a 6 months period., Results: In the 6-month follow-up, a significant increase in cannabis, alcohol and tobacco consumption, as well as in the intensity of related-problems, was observed in the CONUM group. The increase of alcohol and tobacco consumption observed in the PO group had a significantly lesser frequency and lower intensity than in the CONUM group. Moreover, no increase in cannabis consumption was observed in this group. The BI group showed a significant reduction in the number of users during the last month with respect to most substances, as well as in relation to substance-related problems., Conclusion: Our results confirm that a single brief intervention session is effective in reducing consumption of psychoactive substances in adolescents. Although influence of other factors could not be discarded, preventive orientation reduced the increase of cannabis consumption but increased use of tobacco and alcohol. Further and more in depth studies are required to evaluate the usefulness of preventive programs on alcohol and other drug consumption, in order to bring to light more effective and comprehensive approaches.

Brunken GS, Guimarães LV, and Fisberg M
- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of anemia in children aged less than 36 months in public day care centers in the city of Cuiabá, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with all children (n=271) less than 36 months of age who attended public day care centers in mid-1997. Children were evaluated as to their hemoglobin levels (venous blood, analyzed at the Central State Laboratory) and anthropometric indicators (weight/age, height/age, weight/height). RESULTS: A high prevalence (63%) of anemia associated with age, weight and height deficit, and time of admittance at kindergarten was observed. The prevalence of malnutrition was 0.8% according to the weight/height ratio, 5.0% according to weight/age deficit, and showed an inadequacy of 10.3% as to the height/age ratio. Thus, the percentage of anemic children was six times higher than the height deficit and twelve times higher than the weight deficit. Malnutrition was not in fact associated with anemia, but at extreme anthropometric cut-off points of height and weight for age (< -2 z score), there is an association between these conditions. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of anemia is regarded as a severe public health problem among preschool children in the city of Cuiabá.
