Background and Objectives: To determine if there were alterations in the proportion of spending that Argentine households of older adults spend on the purchase of food (Engel's coefficient) and other goods and services, as well as to evaluate the dietary quality of the members of these households., Materials and Methods: From the last three waves of the National Household Expenditure Survey (2004-2005, 2012-2013 and 2017-2018) those households in the province of Buenos Aires inhabited by older adults are filtered and carried out. Median difference tests for the proportion of spending these households spend on food and other goods and services. In turn, the per capita quantities acquired from 17 food groups are compared with the quantities recommended in the dietary guidelines for the Argentine population., Results: A statistically significant reduction is found in the median of the proportion of spending that older adults in the province of Buenos Aires spend on the purchase of food, in combination with a statistically significant increase in the proportion of spending directed to equipment and operation home, education and various services. However, the amounts purchased of milk and yogurt and vegetables A and B are insufficient in relation to those recommended, while the consumption of meat is excessive., Conclusions: Although economic theory would interpret a reduction in the Engel coefficient as an indication of improved well-being, it should be taken into account that these households might not be following an optimal diet if they consumed the amounts of food that they claim to buy., (Copyright © 2021 SEGG.

The purpose of this review is to analyze the biochemical progression of atherosclerotic plaque and its association with diet and diabetes. This study shows the scientific evidence of demonstrating that diabetic patients present high levels of fatty acids like palmitic acid and linoleic acid in their atheroma plaques in comparison with non-diabetic patients. This study also establishes how patients with diabetes mellitus have a higher prevalence of atherosclerotic heart diseases in the form of Coronary Thrombosis and have different anatomopathological appearance like higher necrotic core and thin fibrotic layer than the general population. Furthermore this review describes the different anatomopathological appearance and cellular changes involved in the formation of these plaques and how diet can affect the development of these plaques., (Copyright © 2016 Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez.

Objective: Analyze the mechanisms deployed by the State to establish its institutionalizing intervention on the diets of the populations through the School Breakfast program in Mexico. Approach: Institutions are inserted in the analysis of power through dispositives from the perspective of governmentality. The exercise of power through feeding programs requires discourses focused on the correct diet, the participation of expert agents, the constitution of subjects of assistance and, simultaneously, the freedom and desire of the subjects of government. Methodological approach: The theoretical perspective of governmentality of Michel Foucault and the neoinstitutionalist current is taken up, to analyze the power mechanisms that enable the exercise of government, and enable the governmental capacity to institutionalize biological and food processes through the implementation of food programs. Conclusions: The School Breakfast program establishes power games between the various participating actors. Food as a field of knowledge and intervention multiplies the poles from which power is exercised, both from the populations and from the State. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

the unbalanced diet affects the environment through agriculture, as a high greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sector that uses 70% of the world's water reserves. In addition, there is an inequality in the distribution and use of this resource that increased during the coronavirus confinement. The objective of this research was to identify changes in diet and water care in central Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in the consumption of vegetables (71.7%) and fruits (64.9%) was found. In water care at home, attention to leaks (58.4%) and regulation of shower time (54.5%) showed an increase. Likewise, groups characterized by actions aimed at an adequate and less polluting diet, better water care and the perception of benefits in the participation of environmental care were also identified. The weekly CO2 emission of the diet allowed us to identify characteristics of food consumption during pandemics and a participation towards improving the ecosystem. This provides the basis to propose strategies that start from the activities carried out by people or that promote a greater incidence of these activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Initially known for its deleterious health effects, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has recently been recognized as a biologically important gas carrier, like nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. H2S is produced endogenously in mammalian cells by enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. when it is produced by the enzymatic pathway, its synthesis is carried out from the amino acid L-cysteine through the transsulfuration pathway. It can also be produced endogenously from exogenous compounds that function as H2S donors as, for example, the naturally occurring organic donors found in some plants. Currently, the role of H2S is well known as brain and cardiac protector, and its research as a therapeutic adjuvant in metabolic diseases such as obesity and type-2 diabetes is becoming increasingly important. The objective of this review is to examine how the contribution of donors and precursors of hydrogen sulfide by the diet impacts health and disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to analyse how, during the period of 1937 to 1961, different Mexican governments used the cultural and ancestral dimension of maize, overcoming the controversies around its nutritional quality and utilising the benefits of agricultural research, to incentivise its production and consumption among the population, as well as its exportation to other countries, with the goal of turning it into a commodity that would incorporate the rural population into the national economy. For this reason, it was important to design campaigns to promote this grain in various media, seeking to exalt the idea of the ancestral food that was the basis of the Mexican diet and a symbol of Mexican culture. This analysis was constructed using contemporary newspapers and other publications of the period mentioned, as well as works that have addressed the topic of maize cultivation and consumption. The article seeks to deepen our understanding of the changes in the Mexican diet, the practices of production, and the sociocultural significance of maize as from the mid-twentieth century.

Objective: To describe the factors of the social structure and food culture of an indigenous community that strengthen collective care. Materials and methods: Qualitative study, ethnographic method; through purposive sampling: 10 semi-structured interviews and participant observation; the content analysis was supported by the Atlas ti 7.0 tool. Results: economic-political, educational, social-cultural and spiritual factors provided evidence of food exercises and practices that from the indigenous worldview of balance and awareness with "mother earth" and of its territorial organization contribute to the collective and identity practices of the community. Conclusions: Around food, many practices are woven that strengthen care in the community; from the shagra physical and spiritual food is harvested, as well as it is also constituted as a space of identity affirmation and survival of ancestral knowledge that must be preserved.

The aim was to determine the relationship between the perception of health, loneliness, happiness and body image according to the type of breakfast during the state of alarm decreed by the COVID-19 in primary schoolchildren. For this purpose, a descriptive cross-sectional study was designed with a sample of 116 Spanish schoolchildren. Perceptions of health, loneliness, happiness and body image were assessed using four items from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children questionnaire. The items referring to breakfast were extracted from the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index in children and adolescents questionnaire. After inferential analysis, it was observed that eating a cereal or derivative for breakfast was associated with a higher perception of health (OR = 1.45; p = 0.021), happiness (OR = 1.57; p = 0.002), body image (OR = 1.70; p = 0.006), and lower perception of loneliness (OR = 1.74; p = 0.002). This association was maintained after adjustment for body image with the exception of health perception (OR = 1.53, p = 0.156). In conclusion, eating a cereal or derivative for breakfast may be related to a higher perception of health, happiness, body image, and lower perception of loneliness in primary school children.

Objective: To analyze the habitual food of Afro-Mexicans in the context of two historical processes and the regional exercise of production/power. Methodology: Interviews and participant observation in two regions with a history of hacienda/ejido production; socioeconomic references, 24-hour recall diet, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding. Results: The food lists reflect availability and biodiversity, but not access and habitual consumption. Interstices, spaces with a greater margin of freedom were identified for the manifestation and development of a peasant food culture. Limitations: The 24-hour diet was for one day and consumption outside home was not considered. Conclusions: The sociohistorical condition of production/power determines a major part of the food system, based on foods and techniques reproduced by the indigenous population. There are regional dietary differences, however, to a large extent it corresponds to the diet of rural populations. The food provides enough energy/vitamins, and this comes mainly from corn, beans, rice and green, white and red vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: European Union represents a tenth of the world population, however, it has a quarter of the cancer cases in the world. Without strong action, it is estimated that by 2035 cancer cases will increase by almost 25 %, making this disease the main cause of death. Therefore, the aim of this study is to know the diet and lifestyle guidelines associated to cancer prevention. A literature review has been carried out on the diet and lifestyle guidelines related to a reduction in cancer risk. Strategies to reduce cancer risk include maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, consuming a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, non-starchy vegetables, and legumes, limit processed and fast food, limit consumption of red meat and eat little, if any, processed meats, drink mostly water and limit the consumption of sugar sweetened drinks, finally reduce, or do not consume alcohol. Prevention is an effective tool to reduce cancer risk. Adequate diet and healthy lifestyle habits can reduce cancer risk as well as other non-communicable diseases and can even have environmental benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: At the Wildlife Valuation and Rehabilitation Center of the Valle de Aburrá, Barbosa, Antioquia, in which the Currucutú (Megascops choliba) belongs to the top 10 of the most admitted animals, this makes necessary a detailed feeding plan for the attention of this population, providing a balanced diet in the process of rehabilitation and subsequent release of the individuals. Objective: To evaluate the current diet in terms of species requirements, composition and raw materials, applying zootechnical, physiological and nutritional aspects. Methods: Data collection and analysis were carried out, generating daily weight gains and growth curves. In the necropsies performed by the center, stomach contents were obtained from the feeding in the wild of the species. The energetic and nutritional requirements for the different physiological states were elaborated, implementing the use of software and office tools such as Zootrition, Zoodiet Pro and Excel. The compliance with the requirements of the supplied diet was evaluated, as well as its consumption and cost analysis. Results and Discussion: An average GDP of 0.98g was obtained. Stomach contents were observed with the presence of hair, feathers and insects of the Gryllidae and Tettigoniidae families. Nutritional requirements of 49.88 Kcal ME/day average, 20% protein, 10% lipids, 2.5% fiber, 1.65% calcium, 0.55% phosphorus were obtained. An alternative diet is proposed including foods that improve the fiber and calcium intake in the ration and encourage the formation of pellets in the individuals. A diet consumption of 81.4% (P>0.05) and a decrease of 21% in the costs associated with feeding were achieved. Conclusion: Based on the results, it is considered that the diet should be reformulated since more complete and detailed information is available, being able to meet the nutritional requirements of the species and allowing the creation of pellets to improve the physiology of digestion and food transit.

Introduction. Obesity and overweight are one of the biggest problems facing society today. The figures indicate that obesity is today one of the diseases with the highest morbidity rate, reducing life expectancy and representing a high risk of mortality. Objetive. It consisted of describing and comparing the percentage of obesity and overweight among the different States of the USA. Methodology. A unidimensional frequency analysis was used, expressed through percentages, associated with the variables percentage of obesity and overweight. Additionally, the multivariate analysis of variance was used, in order to contrast the different states. Results. The investigation made it possible to show that adults between 45 and 64 years of age have the highest percentage of obesity in the different regions of the United States of America, while the age range between 18 and 24 years is the group that has the lowest percentage in general. Conclusions. The male sex presents higher levels of overweight compared to the female sex. Similarly, it is observed that obesity has increased over time, while overweight has decreased slightly.

This work aims to study women's body itineraries, through the interviews of women from high and low socioeconomic status (SES) who live in Santiago de Chile. The project inquiries bodies' itineraries as a set of nutrition, exercise, and aesthetics care actions as everyday practices. This concept allowed reflecting on the body as a continuous becoming, a movement or action, and not a fixed entity. The project had a qualitative research design. Data was collected using reflexive interviews. Participants were asked to describe a typical day using magazine images. Every interview started with the question: "If your body could talk with images, how would it tell its day?". Four women were interviewed, two of high SES and two of low SES. The data analysis was conducted the reflexive thematic analysis guidelines. The results compared high and low SES bodies itineraries organized by type of practice. Women of high SES describe their nutrition practices in terms of body awareness; how food affects their bodies. Low SES women instead talk about their nutrition from a self-control perspective. These women describe their food intake as something that must be at all times regulated. For them, nutrition becomes a constant failure because they usually lack self-control. Women of high SES describe the exercise as a pleasant activity, it is related to wellbeing. The interviewed women from this group reported exercising regularly. Women of Low SES described their lack of exercising in terms of laziness. Women of low SES report makeup as a daily aesthetic care practice. Women describe that they start applying makeup at their house, continue in the subway or bus on the way to work, and finish at the workplace. Makeup doesn't have a delimited space or place. Women of high SES describe aesthetic care practices in terms of skincare. They emphasize that good-looking skin and body image reflect a healthy body. A significant difference between low and high SES women is that the first consider aesthetic care practices as superficial, while for the latter is an inner state that reflects exteriorly. In general terms, women of high SES refer to body itineraries in terms of awareness. Women regularly refer to how the practices of nutrition, exercise, and aesthetic care affect their bodies. Women of low SES instead describe their body itineraries as control practices that regularly fail. They don't report body sensations. The analysis shows that the description of nutrition, exercise, and aesthetic care have moral (good/bad) and affective dimensions (how a body shall be affected in these practices). Being a caregiver emerged as a relevant issue when accounting for body itineraries. Two of the four women we interviewed were mothers, one from each SES. Caregiving was significant in nutrition and exercise practices. Women with children tend to eat when and what their children are eating. Eating tends to be a practice distributed in the routine. For example, a woman had a sandwich with her son before school and then a coffee after dropping him at school. Likewise, exercise is in function to the children's routine. For example, a woman walks fast from the school to her house. Being a caregiver structures time and, as an effect, it is very significant in body itineraries. Finally, in the discussion the analysis was compared with other data. The different practices of women of high and low SES derive into different outcomes. Women of low SES are more obese and sedentary than women from high SES. The notion of body itineraries is an integrative concept to study nutrition, exercise, and aesthetic care.

The author comments on the growing interest in exotic diets, including entomophagy. After describing the properties of insects as food, the author warns of the risk that arthropod intake may entail when due sanitary guarantees are not observed. However, entomophagy may be a possibility in the face of occasional starvation, drought, starvation and war or a hypothetical nuclear disaster. Experimental insect farms, as a source of protein, could bring knowledge of interest to the armed forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Caries is a multifactorial disease, characterized by the demineralization of the hard tissues of the tooth, based on four factors: host, microbiota, saliva and substrate; a diet rich in carbohydrates enhances its development in the oral cavity. A balanced diet can help prevent the carious process in the oral cavity. Caries has multiple etiological factors, it is preventable with good oral hygiene, which can help reduce it. Objective. Correlating the diet with the caries index in the Estancia de Bienestar y Desarrollo Infanti (EBDI) 184 of the ISSSTE. Methodology. A cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out, in 100 children, between 1 and 4 years-old, who were reviewed with an examination kit recording their data in a dental medical record, in January 2019. Results. A total of 100 children were examined, 63 male and 37 female. The caries index revealed that 58 were caries-free and 42 have a carious lesion. Ninety-one children presented complete deciduous dentition and seven showed rehabilitation of some dental organ. Discussion. According to the results, and in comparison with the literature reviewed, it can be attributed that a balanced diet from childhood is a key factor in obtaining a low index of dental caries; according in research in Spain, Mexico and Argentina (2016), the percentage of caries in the child population was 95%; therefore, emphasis can be placed on early prevention and the influence of diet to avoid tooth decay. Conclusions. Based on diet and the degradation of carbohydrates, coupled with good oral hygiene, it is determined that diet is a key factor in reducing the rate of cavities at an early age.

A total of 270 fingerlings (10.7 ± 0.06 g of average weight) were randomly distributed in three treatments with three repetitions, according to a completely randomized design, to evaluate the total substitution of a high fishmeal percentage for silages of fishery by-products in extruded diets for Clarias gariepinus. The treatments were catfish fingerling feed with 25 % of fish meal (control) and two alternative diets, with 10% (dry basis) of silage: one prepared with 98 % of sulfuric acid, and the other with formic acid. Animals were fed for 60 d. No differences were found (P> 0.05) in the final weights (66.63, 66.27 and 70.71 g) and food conversion (1.18, 1.18 and 1.15). However, there were differences for protein efficiency between the diet with fishmeal (2.34) and the silage of fishery products (3.09 and 3.18). Survival was excellent in all treatments (> 96.66%). The economic analysis showed that the profits with silage (US $ 2534.22 and 2430.05/t) were superior to control (US $ 1689.44/t). It is concluded that chemical silages of fishery by-products can replace a high percentage of fishmeal in extruded diets for Clarias gariepinus fingerlings with a positive economic effect, by reducing the importation of fishmeal.

El estudio pretende generar una reflexión participativa para identificar variables mediadoras del comportamiento y del ambiente, que conduzcan a diseñar un programa, para prevenir la obesidad en la niñez, con enfoque de salud pública. Dichas variables para lograr una alimentación adecuada fueron el manejo de porciones, tipo y costo de alimentos, el horario para las colaciones y el uso del tiempo para la actividad física y su relevancia en la salud de los niños. En 51 discusiones grupales con padres de familia, profesores y niños de 17 planteles escolares se recopiló y se organizó la información, con el programa QSR NVivo 9.0. Con la guía del modelo PRECEDE-PROCEDE se identificaron factores que predisponen, refuerzan y capacitan una alimentación inadecuada y el sedentarismo en la escuela y el hogar, y se priorizaron de acuerdo con su importancia y posibilidad de cambio.

Introduction: Background: physical activity is a health-related behavior that is associated with increased well-being in people living with musculoskeletal disease. Objective: we assessed the association of different health and lifestyle factors with physical activity in the Spanish population living with musculoskeletal disease. Method: we used data from the 2014 European Health Survey for Spain. The population was classified according to their musculoskeletal disease (including osteoarthritis, back pain, osteoporosis, or several of these diseases) diagnostic status. The survey collected data on habitual physical activity and other health-related behaviors (diet, alcohol and tobacco consumption, among others) and other health indicators (self-perceived health status, perceived pain, mental health, physical limitations, among others). We used multivariate logistic regression models to analyze the relationship between the different variables studied in the population living with musculoskeletal disease. Results: physical activity is associated with daily fruit and vegetable intake, regardless of age and sex, and with daily fish consumption in women aged 45 years and older. Tobacco smoking is higher in inactive women and men, while weekly consumption of alcohol is associated with more physical activity (except in women aged 15-44 years). Conclusions: physical activity is a behavior associated with a better health status and healthier lifestyle in the Spanish population living with musculoskeletal disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Introduction: migration has been associated with the development of chronic noncommunicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders. Similarly, the food transition during migration has been related to a high consumption of foods high in refined sugars and saturated fats. There are specific characteristics of the eating behavior that may influence quality in the migrant population's diet. Objective: to compare feeding behavior between the Colombian and Chilean populations residing in the north and center of Chile. Method: the structured interview E-TONA, focused on assessing the behavioral components of daily and anomalous eating habits, was administered to 1,872 individuals, both Chileans and Colombians. Descriptive analyses of frequency distribution and logistic regressions were performed, and odds ratios were calculated. Results: there are significant differences in the majority of eating behaviors, both daily and anomalous, between Chileans and Colombian migrants. Chileans tend to follow more regular schedules and "snack" more between meals than migrants. Migrants have twice the risk of eating alone because they feel ashamed of their eating amount and speed, tend to show fewer behaviors related to better quality in their diet, and tend to be less worried about their diet than Chileans; however, Chileans are almost twice as likely to binge on food and use food as a method to calm anxiety. Conclusion: there are significant differences in most of the evaluated eating behaviors that must be addressed in depth considering cultural differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: the objective of this work was to study the basis of the gastronomy of the Balearic Islands and to look for the feeding patterns as well as the current nutritional and health profiles. Methods: bibliographic search on Balearic gastronomy and nutrition. Results: the traditional gastronomic model of the Balearic Islands is rich and varied and has products of recognized quality under European and national labels. Currently, the consumption of cereals, eggs, vegetables, fruits, pulses, meats, fish and seafood is lower than that observed for the national average. However, the consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages is much higher than this average. Conclusions: current food consumption is very far from the traditional Mediterranean model. The nutritional and health profile is worrisome. The challenge of Balearic gastronomy is to combine tradition with current knowledge to achieve a nutritionally acceptable and healthy evolution.

Objective: To analyze the social representations about obesity and the feeding and exercise practices of a group of women and men with said diagnosis and clinical treatment residing in Mexico City. Methodology: It was based on a qualitative methodology. Choose the in-depth interview as a technique for obtaining data. Results: In discursive terms, each participant identifies the importance of exercising and having a good diet, but few put it into practice. Men and women have a path of life with obesity from very early ages; our future attention will be enabled by their differences in the stages of life, their self-care practices and living conditions related to economicpolitical, social and cultural in their social contexts. Limitations: do not resume interview results for people with obesity without clinical treatment. Conclusions: For the participants, obesity represents a limitation for the establishment of personal, social and labor relations; however, they reproduce in their speeches this social rejection of obesity, which is recruited for women by beauty stereotypes and their relationship with health. The knowledge they have about foods that are fattening, and those that are not fattening; reproduce the medical discourse and messages of health promotion, however, do not translate into a change at the level of daily food practices [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
