This study aimed to increase knowledge on the perception of the consumer regarding the choice of foods rich in bioactive compounds. Data was collected anonymously with an online questionnaire; 1185 answers of Portuguese adults were analyzed. Results have shown a strong association of choosing foods with bioactive compounds with frequency of fruit consumption (Phi=0,203, p<0,001), and vegetable consumption (Phi=0,238, p<0,001), emphasizing the evidence that consumers with a higher heathy food awareness are the ones buying food products with bioactive compounds. A positive moderate association of bioactive compounds knowledge was observed with the frequency of red wine consumption (Phi=0,105, p=0,001). Sociodemographic factors such as age and education level were also positively associated with the choice of foods with bioactive compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to understand and analyze the eating habits and behaviors related to the structure of daily meals of urban consumers. The quantitative / qualitative methodology was built from a field research conducted with 43 consumers and preselected consumers according to their socioeconomic profile and place of residence, in Pato Branco/PR. The research instrument was a questionnaire, based on multiple choice questions, applied individually at each participant's home. A field observation diary was also used, recording the researcher's impressions from speeches and statements by the interlocutors. The results indicate that meals around the table symbolically represent an important practice as a family space, conversations, information exchange and dialogues that also serve as a form of sociability of the home group. In addition, shedding light on the structure of contemporary meals has made it possible to understand that the transformations of eating resulting from food modernity - evidenced by a movement of greater homogenization and individualization of food - are not limited solely to the reproduction of eating conditions in hegemonic contexts and agro-industrial interests.

In recent years there has been a decline in child malnutrition, in contrast, cases of overweight and obesity in this age group are increasing. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the anthropometric and dietary profile of children under nutritional monitoring. Retrospective cross-sectional study with data obtained from medical records of children aged 5 to 10 years attending the Clinic School of Nutrition of the Midwestern State University. Eighty-seven medical records were analyzed, the main reasons reported for seeking nutritional treatment were weight loss and dietary reeducation. There was a prevalence of overweight and obesity (87.3%) among the children analyzed. It was observed that there was no difference between the energy consumption assessed by the 24-hour recall and the energy requirement calculated by the Total Energy Expenditure (GET) of the children, but for all macronutrients there was a significant difference, and the carbohydrate and protein intake was less than the need (p = 0.022 and p = 0.032), and fat consumption was higher than recommended (p <0.001). Most children reported appetite during meals, but most also reported feeling hungry during breaks. Attendance for nutritional follow-up was low, with a mean of 2.76 ± 2.1 returns. The nutritional profile of children seeking nutritional care revealed anthropometric condition of prevalent overweight, the result of inadequate eating habits, and a probable history of family overweight. We highlight the importance of frequent nutritional care for lifestyle changes, improvement in nutritional status and prevention of diseases due to overweight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is, in order to promote sustainable development in cities, to provide a foundation from which to understand urban expansion, against a background of overexploitation of resources, and its implications. From this logic, it proposes that the role of cities is crucial for sustainable development. Thus, the article begins with a brief introduction and quantitative description of the contemporary problems and implications of urban expansion in different spheres. The need to rethink growth and urbanization, as well as resource use and waste management, is presented as an inexorable task for the creation of urban spaces that promote cohesion and economic, social and environmental well-being. The manuscript ends by briefly contextualizing the articles in the issue, in relation to the questions that have been leading the analysis of the scarcity and overexploitation of resources and the problem of waste management in cities. Finally, it shows that, beyond urban dystopian realities, cities are fundamental for sustainable development and, therefore, from an anthropological perspective, the contributions favor the discussion and integral understanding of the problems presented by cities.

Unconventional food plants (PANCs) are species whose edible parts such as tubers, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are neglected and forgotten, due to recent changes in eating habits. However, they are species of great importance in the context of Food and Nutritional Security, favoring food diversity and enabling healthy eating. The characterization and rescue of traditional knowledge about the cultivation and use of PANCs associated with local agrobiodiversity contributes to sustainable regional development. Women, most of the times responsible for the choice and preparation of meals, have the knowledge about the PANCs, being essential the rescue of this knowledge, so that they become recognized as food, and that their food and nutritional potential is valued through use. Thus, the objective of this study was to rescue information and knowledge about these plants with women participating in Clubs of Mothers in municipalities of the Vale do Taquari through the realization of lectures and workshops with the preparation of dishes, as well as with the dialogue with these women. For better understanding, semi-structured interviews were applied and photographs were taken. 87 members of mothers' clubs were interviewed. In Vale do Taquari, knowledge about the use and consumption of PANCs was not being disseminated and it was observed that it exists and is part of the food tradition of different communities in the region. It was found that the vast majority, know many PANCs, more than 20 species were identified and cited, mainly for its use as medicinal, having been remembered especially the dandelion, milkweed, cow tongue, sorrel, cream, the caraguatá, and the capuchin, many of them recognized as species of medicinal use. Most of the interviewees are farmers and retirees, who already knew some PANCs. Of these species many are of European origin, and their consumption was a habit brought by immigrants, being associated with childhood moments. The positive interaction between community members and students was also evident. The consumption of these species, therefore, has cultural value, and its rescue is very important, in order to expand the diversity of the dishes and, thus, add rich nutritional combinations that favor the health of those who consume them.

Objective: to describe the eating pattern of women with excess weight and to characterize the body mass index and the associated comorbidities. Method: quantitative, descriptive study conducted in an outpatient clinic reference in obesity with 101 women with excess weight. The data were assessed by specific questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics. Results: there was prevalence of women with class III obesity (31.7%) and hypertension (61.4%). The consumption of foods with a frequency equal to or greater than five days per week was: beans/legumes (45.0%), stewed (54.0%) and raw (47.0%) vegetables/pulses/salad, red meat (45.5%), chicken (35.0%) and fish (3.0%). The majority removed the visible fat of red meat (89.7%) and chicken (85.9%) and adopted the stewed, baked or broiled way as preparation (93.9%). Sugary drinks were consumed by 18.0% of interviewees. Conclusion: the pattern of food consumption in women with excess weight was below the recommended levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Cerebral palsy refers to developmental disorders with direct repercussions on posture control and motricity. Its non-progressive and happens by damage of the brain still in development. Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) present alterations in the oral functions, which makes feeding difficult and can bring serious health consequences, such as malnutrition and pneumonia. The caregiver plays an essential role of these children's diet, so they need to know the implementation of best practices to provide safe food. Guidelines for food practices and care are essential and need to be satisfactory and effective to avoid complications and reduce stress for the caregiver and child. The speech therapist is the skilled professional in assisting and intervening in children's eating difficulties and in guiding the caregiver. However, the guidance provided is not always incorporated into daily practice, and it is key to know and understand it appropriately. Objective: To analyze the quality of the guidelines received and the feeding practices of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: This is an exploratory, cross-sectional study, involving 59 main caregivers of children with CP from 1 to 10 years of age, classified as level IV or V in the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), with absent cervical control or compensation and fed orally. Data collection carried out through interviews with questions related to the characterization of the sample, quality of the guidelines received regarding feeding and care. The data were entered, precoded and processed by the Epi-info 3.5.4 program, using Fisher's exact test to compare categorical variables. Results: Of the total sample, 52 participants had already received speech-language guidance regarding feeding care. Of these, 76.9% were classified as satisfactory guidelines. The most emphasized aspect is related to posture, while signs of risk of bronchoaspiration were the least oriented. The quality of the guidelines was related to safe food consistency, inadequate utensils and facilitating maneuvers during children's feeding. Conclusion: The findings reveal that most of the caregivers receive the feeding guidelines for children with CP, however, there is no periodic and systematic monitoring of what is actually incorporated into the feeding. This may indicate a potential gap between the guidelines received by the caregivers and the effectiveness of their daily practice, especially concerning protective measures of the lower respiratory tract.

From the perspective of social reproduction, the focus of this study is placed on the collective practice of diet in bike taxi drivers (or rickshaws) of Mexico City's historic downtown, analyzed as key element in a characteristic pathologic profile observed in health/disease conditions, particularly as the cause for overweight, obesity, dyslipidemias, and factors associated to metabolic syndrome. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 110 (90.2%) drivers. A survey was used to collect data on diet habits, working conditions and lifestyle. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were taken to analyze biochemical parameters in order to assess the subjects' health status and establish obesity-related risk factors. The results reveal that average daily soda consumption is 1.6 liters (54 fl. oz.), an equivalent of 629 kilocalories per day. Vegetables are consumed 3.1 times per week and 65.7 kilograms (145 pounds) of corn tortillas are consumed per year. Obesity is associated to the number of years a person has been driving a bike taxi [χ2(2, N = 99) = 6.747, p = 0.034]. 69.1% is overweight or obese, 63.3% has hypertriglyceridemia and 49.1% meet three or more criteria to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome according to the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). Drivers' intake of sugary drinks and junk food is high, while recommended food intake like vegetables, fruits, legumes and white meat is low. Ongoing campaigns are recommended to promote healthy food intake, avoid sugary drinks intake and facilitate water consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Las (re)existencias indigenas representan tanto los medios como el fin de la conservación de la sociobiodiversidad. Sus territorios y territorialidades tienen una visión del mundo que construye objetivamente prácticas mucho más consistentes con esta sociobiodiversidad que la modernización de los territorios, incluso en sus caracteristicas más "sostenibles". Los pueblos Karajá-Aruanã-Go, ubicados en el noroeste de Goiás, han sido objeto de ataques históricos secuenciales y consecuentes. Especialmente después de 1970, la transformación de la llanura del río Araguaia en territorio de grandes explotaciones ganaderas y la implementación del turismo en las playas del río, sumado a la fragmentación de sus lugares de vida, generaron una fuerte presión sobre sus tierras, en sus cultura, tu forma de vida y tu cuerpo. Esta presión há sido efectiva desde que la deforestación destinó la tierra a pastos; para la construcción de clubes, condominios y posadas a orillas del río en los límites urbanos; el uso intenso y depredador de las playas; los efectos catastróficos del turismo de sol y playa en la fauna de los ríos y, especialmente, la reducción de la biodiversidad. La investigación realizada por el subproyecto BIOTEK (Biodiversidad y biotecnología del Cerrado de Goiás) y desarrollado em torno al proyecto "Desarrollo territorial y sociobiodiversidad: perspectiva para el mundo del Cerrado" - CAPES - demuestran los efectos sobre la sociobiodiversidad de la siguiente manera: por un lado hay un proceso continuo de erosión genética; por otro lado, la invasión de la ciudad en los pueblos cambia el idioma, los costumbres y los gustos de la juventud; el régimen de creencias; la conexión con la ascendencia y la comida de los pueblos Karajá.

Objective: To correlate the nutritional status with variables associated to the type of diet and feeding route of children and adolescents with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: This cross-sectional study included 28 patients aged <13 years old who presented a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegic CP and were followed by the nutrition team of the Outpatient Clinic for Special Patients of Hospital de Clínicas de Uberlândia -Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (HC-UFU), between July/2016 and January/2017. Consent forms were signed by the legal guardians. The nutritional status was evaluated and data on dietary complications food route and type of diet were collected. For the description of data, average and median values were used. Correlation was tested with Spearman's index. Significance was set at p<0.05. Results: 75% of patients used alternative feeding routes (nasoenteral, catheter or gastrostomy), 57% were eutrophic. The most frequent complications were oropharyngeal dysphagia, reflux and intestinal constipation. No correlation was found between the occurrence of complications and the nutritional status. There was a positive correlation between the diet received and the patient's nutritional status (0.48; p=0.01), i.e. individuals with adequate caloric and macronutrients intake had a better nutritional status. Conclusions: The results reinforce the need for continued nutritional guidance for the children's parents/caregivers, as well as the choice of an adequate rout of feeding to each child by the multi-professional team, in order to contribute to improved nutritional status and adequate dietary intake.

The National School Feeding Program (PNAE) in Mauriti/CE (Brazil) has a positive impact on family farming, as it encourages and promotes the commercialization of its products. The goal of the program is to benefit students in basic education with healthy and nutritious food. It is worth mentioning that the PNAE is interconnected to the mandala system, whose principle is environmental sustainability and the improvement of the food standard, consequently improving the income and quality of life of the population. This study sought to analyze data from the PNAE in Mauriti/CE family agriculture secretariat from 2010 to 2014. The methodology used is descriptive statistics. The products of the PNAE produced by the mandala system had the highlight of the year 2012, the other years there was a reduction. However, with a view to strengthening family farming and reducing rural exodus, it is of great importance that this program is expanded.

O futebol é um esporte popular entre adolescentes. A alimentação e a composição corporal estão diretamente relacionadas com a performance durante a atividade física determinando o desenvolvimento físico e cognitivo nesta fase da vida. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se realizar avaliação nutricional e investigar o consumo alimentar de jogadores de futebol das categorias de base de um time de futebol do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. A amostra foi constituída por 32 indivíduos do gênero masculino, os mesmos responderam a um questionário com perguntas de múltipla escolha e um recordatório alimentar de 24 horas, realizou-se também avaliação antropométrica. A idade média dos participantes foi de 16,9 ± 0,86 anos. Através do IMC, verificou-se que 87,5% (n:28) apresentaram eutrofia, 9,38% (n:3) sobrepeso e 3,12% (n:1) obesidade. Quanto a adequação da circunferência do braço, verificou-se que 71,88% (n:23) dos pesquisados apresentaram eutrofia, 21,88% (n:7) desnutrição leve, 3,12% (n:1) desnutrição moderada e 3,12% (n:1) obesidade. Quanto ao consumo alimentar, obteve-se uma média de 1.330,43 kcal/dia. No entanto, a média de necessidade energética total apresentou-se de 3.937,45 kcal/dia. A distribuição de macronutrientes apresentou-se inadequada para carboidratos e proteínas. O consumo de vitamina A, cálcio, ferro, selênio, e de fibras esteve abaixo das recomendações. Também, observou-se que a maioria desconhece suplementos alimentares. Por conseguinte, a alimentação inapropriada é uma situação de risco para atletas nesta fase da vida, desta forma, ressalta-se a importância de um suporte nutricional para adequar a alimentação visando promover a saúde e melhor o desempenho dos atletas. ABSTRACT Nutritional evaluation and food consumption of football players of the basic categories of a team from Rio Grande do Sul countryside Football is a popular sport among teenagers. Feeding and body composition are directly related to performance during physical activity determining physical and cognitive development at this stage of life. In view of the above, the present study aimed to perform the nutritional evaluation and investigate the food consumption of soccer players of the basic categories of a football team in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The sample consisted of 32 male subjects, who answered a questionnaire with multiple choice questions and a 24-hour food recall, and an anthropometric evaluation was also performed. The mean age was 16.9 ± 0.86 years. Through BMI, 87.5% (n: 28) presented eutrophy, 9.38% (n: 3) overweight and 3.12% (n: 1) obesity. Regarding the adequacy of arm circumference, 71.88% (n: 23) of the subjects had eutrophy, 21.88% (n: 7) mild malnutrition, 3,12% (n: 1) moderate malnutrition, and 3,12% (n: 1) obesity. As for food consumption, an average of 1,330.43 kcal / day was obtained. However, the average total energy requirement was 3,937.45 kcal / day. The distribution of macronutrients was inadequate for carbohydrates and proteins, and adequate for lipids. The consumption of vitamin A, calcium, iron and selenium, and fiber was below recommendations. Also, it has been noted that most are unaware of dietary supplements. Therefore, inappropriate diet is a risk situation for athletes at this stage of life, in this way, it is important to emphasize the importance of nutritional support to adjust the diet in order to promote health and improve athlete performance.

O futsal é uma modalidade esportiva de esforços diversos, que exige desempenho de baixa a alta intensidade. O gasto energético por sua vez se torna elevado nesses atletas, portanto, a necessidade de nutrientes para uma recuperação metabólica adequada, devem provir de uma boa alimentação garantindo assim o desempenho do atleta. O objetivo foi analisar o perfil nutricional de adolescentes jogadores de futsal de um time na cidade de Joinville-SC. Estudo de caráter transversal em que foram avaliados 26 jogadores do gênero masculino entre 10 e 13 anos de idade. Foram coletadas as variáveis de peso (kg) e estatura (cm), para classificação do IMC segundo as curvas de crescimento da OMS (2007). Para análise do consumo alimentar foi aplicado um recordatório alimentar 24 horas (R24hrs). O resultado mostrou que 42% estavam com IMC adequado para idade, 31% baixo peso, 19% elevado e 8% excesso de peso. A média da necessidade energética dos atletas foi de 3.050,78 kcal/dia, porém o consumo diário dos mesmos foi de 1.827,37 kcal/dia, com déficit de 1.223,41 kcal/dia. Em relação aos macronutrientes o consumo diário de carboidratos foi de 56,27%, abaixo do recomendado (60% a 70% VET), as proteínas foram de 18,35% acima do preconizado (10-15% VET) e os lipídios 25,38% dentro do recomendado (até 30% VET). Conclui-se que em relação ao perfil antropométrico dos atletas, apenas 42% está adequado para idade e a ingestão calórica está insuficiente para atividade física desempenhada. A distribuição dos macronutrientes está inadequada, demonstrando a importância de um acompanhamento nutricional para um bom desempenho e desenvolvimento do atleta adolescente. ABSTRACT Nutritional profile of adolescents futsal players from Joinville-SC Futsal is a sporting modality of diverse efforts, which demands low performance and high intensity. The energy expenditure in turn becomes high in these athletes, therefore, the need for nutrients for proper metabolic recovery must come from a good diet to guarantee the performance. The aim was to analyze the nutritional profile of adolescent futsal players from a team in the city of Joinville-SC. A cross-sectional study where 26 male players between 10 and 13 years old were evaluated. The variables measured in kilograms (kg) and stature measured in centimeters (cm) were collected. A 24-hour food recall (R24hrs) was used to analyze food consumption. The results showed that 42% had BMI adequate for age, 31% underweight, 19% high and 8% overweight. The athletes' energy requirement in the mean was 3050.78 kcal / day, but their daily consumption was 1827.37 kcal / day, with a deficit of 1223.41 kcal / day. In relation to macronutrients, daily carbohydrate intake was 56.27%, below recommended levels (60% to 70% VET), proteins were 18.35% higher than that recommended (10% VET) and lipids 25,38 % Below recommended (30% VET). It is concluded that in relation to the anthropometric profile of the athletes, only 42% is adequate for age and the caloric intake is insufficient for physical activity performed. And with an inadequate macronutrient distribution, demonstrating the importance of nutritional monitoring, for a good performance and development of the adolescent athlete.

Objective: to correlate the body fat of everyone with the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, from the measurement, analysis and evaluation of data collected, and thus intervene with preventive actions. Methodology: a cohort study conducted through a field project that was done with five individuals attending the Health Academy of the city of Jundiaí. Data were collected, which were analyzed by indices that allowed the evaluation. Lectures and dynamics were administered in educational groups as a form of nutritional interventions. At the end of the project, another data collection was carried out to compare it with the first one and to evaluate the results of the interventions. Results: before nutritional interventions, 40% of the participants were classified as obese, 40% were overweight and only 20% were eutrophic, and all presented a very high risk for heart disease. After nutritional interventions, 80% reduced both waist circumference and hip circumference, thus altering the scores on CC, RCEst and C index. Conclusions: with the positive results presented in this study, it is necessary to perform local and regional actions for weight control and reduction of abdominal obesity, aiming to reduce cardiac risks.

Resumo Introdução A alimentação no âmbito do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) permite atender às necessidades nutricionais de estudantes no ambiente escolar por meio da alimentação saudável e balanceada, contendo também alimentos da agricultura familiar (AF). O estudo objetiva descrever as preparações ofertadas na alimentação de estudantes e os alimentos oriundos da AF no PNAE do município de Codó, no Maranhão. Método Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de base escolar, contemplando as escolas de ensino fundamental da rede pública da área urbana, vinculadas ao PNAE, entre março e junho de 2015. Resultados Todas as escolas (n=26) participaram do estudo. Das preparações oferecidas, 16% atenderam ao cardápio planejado. Constatou-se a presença de pelo menos um alimento oriundo da AF em mais da metade das escolas visitadas. Conclusão A maioria das preparações oferecidas não atendeu ao cardápio planejado. Os alimentos oriundos da AF foram: iogurte, bolo, frutas, feijão, arroz, entre outros.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o estado de saúde de jundiás (Rhamdia voulezi) através da análise hematológica e bioquímica dos peixes submetidos à alimentação com rações orgânica e comercial, criados em tanques-rede. Foram utilizados 800 jundiás com peso médio de 147,25±20,88 g e 24,3±1,00 cm, respectivamente, distribuídos em um delineamento casualizado em dois tratamentos, sendo um alimentado com ração certificada orgânica e comercial. Para a determinação do estado de saúde, foi coletado 1 mL de sangue dos animais por punção caudal com seringas contendo EDTA, para análise dos parâmetros hematológicos de eritrócitos, hematócrito, hemoglobina, concentração de volume corpuscular médio e volume corpuscular médio e bioquímicos de proteína, glicose e colesterol dos peixes. Os resultados dos parâmetros hematológicos não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P>0,05) em função da alimentação com ração orgânica e comercial. No entanto, os valores bioquímicos de proteína e glicose apresentam diferença significava (P

In order to determine the apparent metabolizable energy (AME), the AME corrected for nitrogen balance (AMEn), the apparent coefficients of metabolization (ACM) of gross energy and the ACM corrected for nitrogen balance (ACMn), an experiment was conducted to evaluate five different plant foods (corn, soybean meal, deactivated full-fat soybean, wheat bran and soybean oil) for broilers at different ages (1-8, 11-18, 21-28, 31-38 and 41-48 days). The method of total excreta collection was used, divided into five metabolism assays. The birds were housed in metabolic cages in a completely randomized design, with five treatments and five replicates per treatment, totaling 25 experimental units. The AME and AMEn values increased with the age of the birds for most foods, except soybean meal. The smaller AMC and AMCn of gross energy were obtained for wheat bran. There was adjustment of the equation to the linear response plateau model for the ACM of corn, soybean meal and deactivated full-fat soybean. The wheat bran and soybean oil were adjusted to the linear regression model. The equations show that the digestibility of energy tends to increase with age, except for soybean meal, which had higher metabolization with younger birds. We conclude that the age of the birds influences the determination of the metabolizable energy of feed.

O manejo nutricional interfere na produção hormonal refletindo na eficiência produtiva e reprodutiva dos animais. Assim, o objetivo foi avaliar o efeito da diferenciação alimentar na concentração plasmática hormonal de cordeiras durante a fase de crescimento. Utilizou-se 20 cordeiras da raça Bergamácia divididas em dois grupos (n= 10), mantidas confinadas recebendo dieta para obtenção de ganho de peso médio diário de 150g (tratamento Baixo) e 250g (tratamento Alto). A cada 14 dias realizou-se pesagem (kg), avaliação do escore de condição corporal (escala de 1 a 5) e colheitas de sangue a cada 28 dias para a determinação das concentrações plasmáticas da insulina (µIU/mL) e progesterona (ng/mL). As cordeiras do tratamento Alto apresentaram maior escore de condição corporal e concentrações plasmáticas de insulina, nas duas fases experimentais, contudo, os níveis plasmáticos de progesterona, não difeririam entre os grupos. Portanto, o manejo nutricional evidenciou o status nutricional e aumentou as concentrações plasmáticas de insulina de cordeiras confinadas em crescimento.

Este estudo tem como objetivo descrever os procedimentos de tradução e adaptação transcultural do Questionário de Estilos Parentais na Alimentação (QEPA) para o contexto brasileiro. Para assegurar a qualidade do procedimento, cinco etapas foram realizadas: 1) tradução do instrumento do idioma de origem para o idioma-alvo; 2) síntese das versões traduzidas; 3) avaliação por experts/público-alvo; 4) tradução reversa e 5) estudo piloto. Buscou-se garantir as propriedades da tradução e da adaptação do QEPA tanto na equivalência semântica quanto na idiomática, experiencial e conceitual entre os itens no idioma original e no idioma-alvo. A análise de consistência interna do questionário apontou a precisão do instrumento. Os resultados apontaram evidências iniciais de adequação do instrumento para avaliação dos estilos parentais presentes no momento da alimentação infantil no público-alvo.

Uma das estratégias mais utilizadas se trata da restrição dietética de calorias, acompanhada pelo aumento na intensidade dos treinamentos. Dado esse fato, o presente estudo tem como principal objetivo comparar a dieta pré-competição do atleta de combate com sua dieta rotineira. O referente estudo também buscou mostrar o perfil dietético e antropométrico desses atletas. Com relação aos aspectos éticos todos os participantes assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Trata-se de uma pesquisa longitudinal e descritiva, na qual foi comparado o antes e depois do período competitivo da população de atletas através do teste estatístico de t Student. 30 voluntários praticantes de judô se submeteram a uma avaliação antropométrica duas semanas antes e duas semanas depois de sua competição, assim como se dispuseram à fazer um registro alimentar de 3 dias antes e depois do período competitivo com o objetivo de comparar o antes e o depois. Quanto à análise dietética pré-competição dos voluntários foi constatado que apenas a vitamina A e a vitamina C atingiram a média recomendada pela DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes). Em contramão na análise pós-competição verificou-se que apenas o cálcio e as fibras não atingiam a média sugerida. A média de peso pré e pós-competição do sexo masculino variou 2,6kg, enquanto o feminino variou 4,2kg. Mesmo com a grande variação de peso constatada não houve aumento significativo no percentual de gordura corporal em ambos os sexos, nem mesmo um aumento significativo nos demais indicadores antropométricos avaliados, sugerindo que o ganho de peso dos atletas foi de tecido muscular, em função principalmente ao elevado nível de atividade física dos atletas estudados. A contínua carência de nutrientes na dieta cotidiana dos atletas sugere a falta de acompanhamento nutricional dessa população, o que de fato é de grande importância, sabendo que uma alimentação desequilibrada nutricionalmente pode afetar o crescimento e o desenvolvimento cognitivo do adolescente, prejudicando também o seu rendimento em competições. ABSTRACT Nutritional profile of adolescents judo athletes pre and post-competitions. One of the most used strategies is a low intake of calories combined with a more intense training. Given this fact, this study aim to compare the athlete pre-competition diet with the non-competition normal everyday diet. This study also sought to show the dietary and anthropometric profile of these athletes. Regarding the ethical aspects, all participants signed the Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. This is a longitudinal and descriptive research, which was compared the before and after of the competition period of the population of athletes through t Student statistical test. Thirty judo practitioners have voluntarily submitted themselves to an anthropometric evaluation two weeks before and two weeks after their competition. Also, the subjects were asked to keep a meal record three days before and three days after the competition period with the objective of compare the records. It was observed that in the pre-competition dietary analysis of the volunteers, only vitamin A and C had reached the level recommended by the DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes). In contrast the post-competition analysis showed that only calcium and fibers did not reach the average suggested. The average weight pre and post competition varies 2.6 kg for male and 4.2kg for female. Even with the large variation in the weight, no significant increase in the body fat percentage was observed in both sexes. Not even a significant increase in other anthropometric indicators evaluated, suggesting that the weight gain of the athletes was of muscle tissue due mainly to the high level of physical activity of the studied athletes. The continued lack of nutrients in the daily diet of athletes suggests the absence of nutritional monitoring in this population, which indeed is very important, knowing that a nutritionally unbalanced diet can affect growth and adolescent cognitive development and reducing their performance in competitions as well.

Objetivo: Conhecer a prevalência dos fatores de risco para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) entre adolescentes assistidos pelo programa municipal Saúde e Prevenção na Escola (SPE). Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal realizado com escolares de 10 a 17 anos pertencentes a seis escolas do município de Imperatriz, Maranhão, Brasil, entre outubro de 2014 e abril de 2015. Medidas antropométricas foram coletadas na própria escola e as variáveis associadas aos hábitos alimentares e estilo de vida foram investigadas por meio de questionário autoaplicável, sendo comparados os dados entre os sexos através do teste Qui-quadrado. Resultados: Foram avaliados 473 estudantes entre 10 e 17 anos. O sobrepeso e a obesidade ocorrem em 13,3% (63) da amostra. Alimentos como arroz, feijão e frutas têm consumo associado a fatores de proteção e apresentaram maiores proporções de consumo entre o sexo feminino (p= 0,001), enquanto a prática de atividade física prevalece entre o sexo masculino (p = 0, 0001). A exposição ao cigarro, drogas ilícitas e álcool não se distingue entre os sexos. Conclusão: A população estudada apresenta distintos padrões de exposição a fatores de risco e proteção, e evidencia a necessidade de ações educativas no ambiente escolar conduzidas pelos profissionais do SPE e demais gestores escolares.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento de praticantes de musculação quanto à relação do exercício físico e a alimentação em academia de pequeno porte da cidade de Sumaré-SP. Na pesquisa participaram 20 pessoas de ambos os sexos, entre a faixa etária de 18 a 60 anos. Foi utilizado um questionário para analisar o conhecimento nutricional, o tipo de exercício físico praticado, as informações clínicas e o padrão alimentar. Os resultados apontaram que a maioria dos participantes tem conhecimento sobre a importância da alimentação para a prática de atividade física, porém a maior parte deles não buscam orientações nutricionais individualizadas com o profissional habilitado, o nutricionista, principalmente quando se trata de suplementação alimentar. Em relação, a ingestão de macronutrientes foi maio nos homens devido ao maior gasto energético durante o exercício físico comparado ao grupo feminino. Já a ingestão de micronutrientes apresentou variações de consumo entre ambos os grupos. Esses dados demostram a importância de uma adequação alimentar orientada corretamente para melhorar os resultados do exercício físico. ABSTRACT Knowledge of bodybuilders regarding the relationship of exercise and nutrition This study aimed to assess the knowledge of bodybuilders relation to physical exercise and nutrition in the city of Sumaré-SP. In the survey participated 20 volunteers, male and female, with 18 - 60 years-old. To analyze the nutritional knowledge was used a list of question, such as, exercise type practiced, clinical information and individual eating pattern. The results showed that around 60% of volunteers aware about the importance of nutrition with physical activity, but the majority do not seek the nutritionist to receive individualized nutritional guidelines, especially when it comes to food supplementation. Regarding the macronutrient intake was higher prevalence in male group, possibly, due to increased energy expenditure during exercise compared to the female group. Since micronutrient intake there were small variations in consumption between the two groups. This data shows how important the presence of sports nutritionist to manage the eating routine and improve training results.

Este trabalho analisou a elasticidade da transmissão de preços no mercado de óleo de soja para os óleos de palma, girassol e canola, entre outubro de 1997 e setembro de 2016. A partir dos conceitos das teorias do mercado relevante e da integração de mercado, estimou-se modelos de correção de erros (VEC) para os óleos de palma, girassol e canola. Os resultados mostraram que, no longo prazo, os mercados dos óleos de palma, girassol e canola são integrados ao do óleo de soja, sendo desta maneira substitutos. As funções de impulso resposta indicaram que variações não antecipadas no preço do óleo de soja não são dissipadas para os demais óleos vegetais. A decomposição da variância dos óleos de palma, girassol e canola mostrou que no último mês analisado, o óleo de soja é responsável por explicar 62,36%, 55,12% e 44,76% do preço dos mesmos.
