Objective: This study aimed to verify the association between socio-economic and demographic characteristics and dietary patterns (DP) of children assisted by the Conditional Cash Transfer Program, Bolsa Família Program (BFP). Design: This is a cross-sectional study. DP were defined using a principal component analysis. The association of the predictive variables and DP was modelled using multilevel linear regression analysis. Setting: This study was conducted in six municipalities from the State of Alagoas, Brazil. Participants: The participants were children aged 6–24 months who were assisted by the BFP. Results: A total of 1604 children were evaluated. Four DP were identified (DP1, DP2, DP3 and DP4). DP1 is composed of traditional Brazilian food. DP2 is formed mostly from ultra-processed foods (UPF). DP3 consists of milk (non-breast) with added sugar, while DP4 consists of fresh and minimally processed foods. Caregivers with higher age and education (β = −0·008; (95 % CI −0·017, −0·000); β = −0·037; (95 % CI −0·056, −0·018), respectively) were negatively associated with DP2. We observed a negative association between households with food insecurity (β = −0·204; (95 % CI −0·331, −0·078)) and DP4 and a positive association between caregivers with higher age and education (β = 0·011; (95 % CI (0·003; 0·019); β = 0·043; (95 % CI 0·025, 0·061), respectively) and DP4. Conclusion: This study identified the association between socio-economic inequities and DP early in life, with an early introduction of UPF, in children assisted by BFP in the State of Alagoas.

Estimou-se a proporção de incidência de acidentes do trabalho na Cidade de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brasil, segundo sexo, idade, existência de contrato de trabalho e ocupações. Para tanto, foi realizado inquérito domiciliar em amostra aleatória sistemática por conglomerados (195 setores censitários). Coletaram-se informações de todos os moradores dos domicílios amostrados com idade maior que nove anos. Para aqueles que trabalhavam nos últimos noventa dias que precederam a entrevista, foram obtidas informações sobre ocupação, posição na ocupação, contrato de trabalho e ocorrência de acidentes. Foram estudados 9.626 domicílios residenciais (fração amostral de 0,26). A proporção de acidentes não-fatais no município foi de 3,3% (IC95%: 2,7-3,9), sendo maior em homens 4,5% (IC95%: 3,6-5,5), variando com o tipo de contrato de trabalho e grande grupo de ocupação. Comparando-se esses resultados com períodos anteriores, observa-se diminuição significativa do risco de acidentes na cidade.

Objective: To evaluate the association between Fe deficiency anaemia (IDA) and complementary feeding in children under 2 years old assisted by the Conditional Cash Transfer programme, Bolsa Família (BFP).Design: Cross-sectional study. Data were obtained through a standardised form, questionnaire to assess the eating habits of children under 2 years of age, capillary Hb (HemoCue®) and the Brazilian Household Food Insecurity Measurement Scale. Associations were calculated using hierarchical Poisson regression, adjusted at the last level by socio-economic, demographic and environmental variables from previous hierarchical levels.Setting: Six municipalities from the State of Alagoas, Brazil.Participants: Children aged 6-24 months assisted by BFP.Results: A total of 1604 children were evaluated, among whom 58·1 % had anaemia. A higher number of food groups consumed (prevalence ratio (PR) = 0·97; 95 % CI 0·95, 0·99; P = 0·009), the consumption of dairy (PR = 0·86; 95 % CI 0·79, 0·84; P = 0·001) and meat (PR = 0·90; 95 % CI 0·83, 0·99; P = 0·030) in addition to bottle feeding (PR = 0·88; 95 % CI 0·82, 0·96; P = 0·004) were associated with a lower prevalence of IDA.Conclusions: IDA is still a serious public health problem in children under 2 years old assisted by BFP in Alagoas. We highlight the importance of promoting complementary feeding based on a diversified dietary intake, as well strengthening prophylactic supplementation programmes to increase children's adherence in conjunction with the implementation of food and nutrition education to help reduce the prevalence of this condition.

Objective: To evaluate the association between the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and the practice of breast-feeding in children under 2 years of age assisted by the conditional cash transfer programme, Bolsa Família Programme (PBF).Design: A cross-sectional study. The consumption of UPF and the practice of breast-feeding were assessed using a structured 24-h recall. Associations were calculated using hierarchical Poisson regression, adjusted at the last level by socio-economic, demographic and environmental variables from previous hierarchical levels.Setting: Six counties from the state of Alagoas, Brazil.Participants: Children aged 6-24 months, assisted by PBF.Results: A total of 1604 children were evaluated, 11·7% of whom were overweight, and most had consumed UPF (90·6%) in the last 24 h. The most consumed UPF were biscuits, chocolate milk and baby food with 74·8, 66·8 and 24·9%, respectively. Through multivariable analysis, an association was found between lower consumption of UPF in the continuation of breast-feeding until the second year of life (prevalence ratio (PR) 0·91, 95 % CI 0·86, 0·96) and in the first year of life (PR 0·93, 95 % CI 0·88, 0·99).Conclusions: It was found that the studied population had a high consumption of UPF, which harmed continued breast-feeding. We highlight the importance of strengthening public policies aimed at the promotion, protection and support of breast-feeding and healthy complementary feeding aimed at populations that have difficulties in physical and economic access to a healthy and adequate diet.

RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar se o tratamento de crianças com baixa estatura, ofertado em um centro especializado, influencia seu desempenho cognitivo. Métodos: Foram analisados dois grupos de crianças advindas de famílias vulneráveis, um com crianças com baixa estatura em tratamento no Centro de Recuperação e Educação Nutricional (CREN) e outro de crianças eutróficas de uma creche municipal localizada na mesma região do CREN. No CREN, as crianças são tratadas em semi-internato (9 horas/dia, 5 dias/semana), recebendo suporte médico, nutricional e psicopedagógico. Todas foram submetidas ao Teste de Triagem do Desenvolvimento de Denver-II e avaliadas quanto ao índice de estatura-para-idade em 3 momentos distintos: no início do acompanhamento e após 6 e 12 meses. A classificação socioeconômica das crianças, de acordo com os Critérios de Classificação Econômica Brasil, foi feita no início do acompanhamento. Calcularam-se razões de prevalência para a análise transversal da linha de base, por meio de uma regressão de Poisson, e razões de prevalência agrupadas para a análise longitudinal, por meio de um modelo de estimativas de equações generalizadas, ambas ajustadas por idade, sexo e classe socioeconômica. Resultados: Ao todo, 74 crianças foram analisadas, 37 em cada grupo. Não houve diferenças de idade, sexo e classe socioeconômica entre os grupos. Na análise longitudinal, o grupo CREN apresentou melhor desempenho no domínio pessoal-social (razão de prevalência agrupada: 0,89; intervalo de confiança de 95% - IC95%: 0,82-0,95), sem diferenças significativas para os demais domínios. Conclusão: O tratamento ofertado pelo CREN melhorou satisfatoriamente as habilidades sociais das crianças tratadas, sem alterar os demais domínios. ABSTRACT Objective: To determine if the treatment of stunted children offered at a specialized center influences their cognitive performance. Methods: Two groups of children from vulnerable families were selected, one consisting of stunted children being treated at the Nutrition Education and Recovery Center (CREN), and the other group of eutrophic children from a local, public day care center. At CREN, children are treated in a day-hospital system (9 hours/day, 5 days/week), receiving medical, nutritional and psycho-pedagogical support. All children were submitted to the Denver-II Development Screening Test and had their development and the height-for-age index assessed at 3 moments: at the beginning of the follow-up, and after 6 and 12 months. The socioeconomic status, according to the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria, was assessed at the beginning of the follow-up. Data were treated by prevalence ratios for cross-sectional baseline analysis, using the Poisson regression, and by pooled prevalence ratios for longitudinal analysis, using a generalized equation estimation model, both adjusted by age, sex and economic status. Results: Seventy-four children were included, 37 for each group. There were no differences in age, sex and socioeconomic status between groups. In the longitudinal analysis, the CREN group showed better performance in the personal-social domain (pooled prevalence ratio: 0.89; 95% confidence interval - 95%IC 0.82-0.95), with no differences in the other domains. Conclusions: The treatment offered at CREN satisfactorily improved the social skills of the treated children, without changing other domains.

Purpose. To evaluate glucose and insulin profiles in adolescents with mild stunting and overweight in order to assess the possibility of increased predisposition to diabetes. Subjects and Methods. The study population consisted of 66 pubertal adolescents classified as mildly stunted (height-for-age z scores ≥ -2 and < -1) or of normal stature, as well as overweight (body mass index ≥ 85th percentile) or normal weight. Beta-cell function and insulin resistance were evaluated according to the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Results. In the group with mild stunting, glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR levels were significantly higher in overweight adolescents compared with those of normal weight, whereas HOMA-B levels were significantly lower. Adolescents with mild stunting showed significantly higher accumulations of body and abdominal fat than their normal stature counterparts. Conclusions. The presence of mild stunting was associated with higher levels of glucose and insulin, diminished function of beta cells, and increased insulin resistance. These results reinforce the need for intervention in adolescents with mild stunting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An adequate and healthy eating in the first years of life guarantees growth, development and child health, and it has repercussions throughout life, contributing to the realization of the human right to food and health. Breastfeeding is the isolated intervention with the greatest ability to prevent deaths in children under 5 years of age. In turn, complementary feeding is the third most effective action, with the potential to prevent 6% of deaths in children under 5 years old. Despite the recognized benefits of breastfeeding, rates of early initiation of breastfeeding among children under 5 months of age remain below 50% in most middle- and low-income countries. In the face of such evidence, Brazil adopts international recommendations, advocating exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) until the sixth month and the continuity of breastfeeding until the second year of life or more. The transition from EBF to the introduction of food consumed by the family is the period called complementary feeding, which should start at 6 months of age and be concluded at 24 months, which represents a period of great vulnerability for children's nutrition and health. This period is recognized for its importance in the formation of healthy eating habits in order to protect the child from nutritional deficiencies, and that is why it is recommended to offer fresh and minimally processed foods, avoiding ultra-processed foods (UP). However, food choices are influenced by several factors such as the socioeconomic and demographic situation that will converge for family food security (FS). In order to fight hunger and poverty, the Brazilian government has implemented the Bolsa Família Program (PBF) since 2004, which aims to promote access to public services, such as health, education and the social assistance network, and also promote food and nutrition security (FNS). The present study aimed to research the association between the consumption of UP and the practice of breastfeeding in children aged 6 to 24 months benefiting from the PBF in Alagoas. A cross-sectional study was carried out with children aged 6 to 24 months who were beneficiaries of the PBF and residents of the 6 municipalities participating in the Early Childhood Program of the State of Alagoas, located in the Northeast Region of Brazil. The consumption of UP and the practice of breastfeeding were evaluated using the questionnaire to assess eating habits of children under two years of age, adapting the questionnaire to regional foods. Prevalence Ratios (PR) and Confidence Intervals (CI) were performed using hierarchical Poisson regression, adjusted at the last (5th) level by socioeconomic, demographic and environmental variables. 1,604 children participated in the study, 11.7% of whom were overweight and most had consumed UP (90.6%) in the last 24 hours. Through multivariate analysis it was found that the consumption tof UP was lower among those children who were being breastfed aged 12 to 15 months (PR 0.93 95% CI 0.88-0.99), and those aged 20 to 24 months (RP 0.91 95% CI 0.86-0.96). Thus, we conclude that continued breastfeeding is associated with lower consumption of UP. CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico Uma alimentação adequada e saudável nos primeiros anos de vida garante o crescimento, desenvolvimento e a saúde infantil e tem repercussões ao longo de toda a vida, contribuindo para a concretização do direito humano à alimentação e à saúde. A amamentação é a intervenção isolada com maior capacidade de evitar mortes em crianças menores de 5 anos. Por sua vez, a alimentação complementar é a terceira ação mais efetiva, com potencial de prevenir 6% dos óbitos em crianças menores de 5 anos. Apesar dos reconhecidos benefícios do aleitamento materno, as taxas de início precoce da amamentação entre crianças com menos de 5 meses de idade permanecem abaixo de 50% na maioria dos países de média e baixa renda. Diante de tais evidências, o Brasil adota as recomendações internacionais, preconizando o aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) até o sexto mês e continuado até o segundo ano de vida ou mais. A transição do AME para a introdução dos alimentos consumidos pela família é o período denominado alimentação complementar, que deve ser iniciado aos 6 meses de idade até os 24 meses, sendo um período de grande vulnerabilidade para a nutrição e saúde das crianças. Esse período é reconhecido pela importância na formação dos hábitos alimentares saudáveis, além de proteger a criança de deficiências nutricionais e por isso recomenda-se oferecer alimentos in natura e minimamente processados evitando os alimentos ultraprocessados (AUP). Contudo, as escolhas alimentares são influenciadas por diversos fatores como a situação socioeconômica e demográfica que confluenciarão para a segurança alimentar (SA) familiar. Com o intuito de combater a fome e a pobreza, o governo brasileiro implantou desde 2004, o Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) que tem como objetivo promover o acesso à rede de serviços públicos, de saúde, educação e assistência social e realizar a promoção da segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN). O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a associação entre o consumo de AUP e a prática de aleitamento materno em crianças de 6 a 24 meses beneficiárias do PBF em Alagoas. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, com crianças de 6 a 24 meses beneficiárias do PBF e residentes dos 6 municípios participantes do Programa da Primeira Infância do Estado de Alagoas, localizado na Região Nordeste do Brasil. O consumo de AUP e a prática de aleitamento materno foram avaliados pelo questionário para avaliação de práticas alimentares de crianças menores de dois anos de idade, adaptado para os alimentos regionais. Foram realizadas as Razões de Prevalência (RP) e os Intervalos de Confiança (IC) através da regressão de Poisson hierarquizada, ajustada no último nível pelas variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas e ambientais. Participaram do estudo 1.604 crianças, dessas 11,7% apresentavam sobrepeso e a maioria havia consumido AUP (90,6%) nas últimas 24 horas. Por meio da análise multivariável constatou-se que o consumo de AUP foi inferior entre aquelas crianças que estavam sendo amamentadas com idade entre 12 e 15 meses (RP 0,93 IC95% 0,88-0,99) e 20 e 24 meses (RP 0,91 IC95% 0,86-0,96). Desta forma, concluímos que o aleitamento materno continuado está associado ao menor consumo de AUP.

Malnutrition is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a cellular imbalance between supply of nutrients and energy and the body's necessary demand for growth, maintenance and specific functions. The short stature in children due to nutritional deficits causes biological repercussions such as the increase of morbidity and mortality and the delay in the motor and cognitive development of the child. Furthermore, these repercussions reflect the social conditions of an entire population, as they are extrapolated to adult life and impair the intellectual performance, work capacity, life expectancy and reproductive outcomes of adult individuals, perpetuating the intergenerational cycle of poverty and malnutrition. Childhood is also the period when there is greater vulnerability to the effects of the mental health problems of their caregivers. Studies in developing countries demonstrate the influence of maternal mental health on child growth. In this way, the promotion of maternal mental health and the treatment of maternal mental disorders offer new opportunities to address the problem of stunting. Thus, the present study had as objective to evaluate the association between the presence of short stature in children from three to six years of age and maternal mental disorders, in two different socioeconomic extracts. Two groups of mother-child dyads (three to six years old) were compared: 1) mother-child dyads with short stature and low socioeconomic status (classes D-E) (G1); 2) eutrophic mother- child dyads and better socioeconomic status (classes B-E) (G2). A total of ninety mother- child dyads were surveyed. Maternal mental disorders that showed statistically significant differences between groups in the univariate analysis were depressive episode (p = 0.029), recurrent depressive episode (p = 0.007), panic disorder (p

In Brazil, the last national population survey, observed that the prevalence of obesity was 20.3% among individuals over 18 years of age, when analyzed according to sex and schooling, it is observed that women with lower levels of schooling have a higher prevalence 25, 2%. Height in adults is a widely used nutritional marker, which reflects the interaction between genetic inheritance and environmental exposure throughout life, so for an assessment of the broad nutritional status it is also necessary to assess height. The prevalence of obesity-related comorbidities is more pronounced in populations with lower height, with an increase in blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol levels, atherosclerotic plaque numbers, prevalence of diabetes mellitus and reduction of HDL- Cholesterol in adults. Obesity is characterized by a low-grade chronic inflammatory picture, leading to inflammatory responses related to excess body fat resulting from increased local and systemic production of cytokines and adipokines, including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), leptin and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, and reduction of adiponectin and interleukin 10 (IL-10). These act as a trigger in the progression of atherosclerosis. Aiming to contribute to the discussion of the problem, this dissertation presents: a review chapter on obesity and the mechanisms of physiological adaptation due to malnutrition in the beginning of life; The second article refers to a non-random clinical trial with a three-month follow-up that compared the metabolic and inflammatory profile of obese women with short stature and without short stature submitted to interdisciplinary therapy for weight loss. FAPEAL - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas No Brasil, o último levantamento populacional nacional, observou que a prevalência de obesidade foi de 20,3% entre indivíduos acima de 18 anos de idade, quando analisada segundo sexo e escolaridade observa-se que as mulheres com menor escolaridade apresentam maior prevalência 25,2%. A altura em adultos é um marcador nutricional amplamente utilizado, que reflete a interação entre herança genética e a exposição ambiental ao longo da vida, assim para uma avaliação do estado nutricional ampla é necessário também avaliar altura. Observa-se que nas populações com menor altura a prevalência das comorbidades relacionadas a obesidade são mais acentuadas, observando aumento da pressão arterial, dos níveis de LDL-colesterol, do número de placa aterosclerótica, prevalência de diabetes mellitus e redução dos níveis de HDL-colesterol em adultos. A obesidade é caracterizada por quadro inflamatório crônico de baixo grau, levando as respostas inflamatórias relacionadas ao excesso de gordura corporal resultante do aumento da produção local e sistêmica de citocinas e adipocinas, incluindo a proteína C reativa (CRP), o fator de necrose tumoral α (TNF-α), a interleucina 6 (IL-6), a interleucina 8 (IL-8), a leptina e o inibidor do ativador do plasminogênio 1 e redução da adiponectina e na interleucina 10 (IL-10). Esses atuam como um gatilho na progressão da aterosclerose. Visando contribuir com a discussão do problema, esta dissertação apresenta: um capítulo de revisão sobre obesidade e os mecanismos de adaptação fisiológicos em decorrência da má nutrição no início de vida; o segundo artigo refere-se a um estudo de ensaio clinico, não aleatório com três meses de seguimento que comparou o perfil metabólico e inflamatório de mulheres obesas com baixa estatura e sem baixa estatura submetidas à terapia interdisciplinar para perda de peso.

The Community Health Agents (CHA) should encourage healthy lifestyles, developing educational actions aimed at health promotion and disease prevention. The Brazilian School Nutrition Program (Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar - PNAE) provides for the inclusion of food and nutritional education in the teaching-learning process through including the theme in the school curriculum, in a way that educators, as well as CHA, must act as knowledge multipliers and good health practices motivators in the school environment. However, the literature reveals that the knowledge of educators and CHA on food and nutrition is insufficient. This work contains one article with results and another article showing literature review. The second one aims to review the literature on the issue of promoting adequate and healthy food in schools, focusing on the importance of community health agent and educator as fundamental characters for these actions, covering the following topics: food and nutrition transition, breastfeeding and complementary feeding, health at school and educators and community health agents’ knowledge and practice of health. The article containing results aims to evaluate the knowledge of educators from five public early childhood centers (ECC) (Centros de Educação Infantil - CEI) as well as the education of Community Health Agents (CHA) of the five respective reference Basic Health Units (BHU) (Unidades Básicas de Saúde – UBS) located in the seventh health district of Maceió, about food and nutrition in the first two years of life and investigate the association with sociodemographic variables and professional performance. It is a cross-sectional study, developed with 10 educators of all early childhood centers (ECC), in the seventh district, in Maceio and community agents from renowned Basic Health Units (BHU), adding up to five early childhood centers and five basic health units. Self-administered questionnaires, previously tested, were applied in order to assess the educators and community agents’ knowledge on food and nutrition, the functioning of the School Health Program, as well as these professionals’ socioeconomic data. The chi-square test was used to investigate the presence of associations between selected variables, with significance level of p

Malnutrition is recognized as a condition in which deficiencies of energy, protein and micronutrients, resulting from inadequate nutrition and recurrent infections, whose consequences determine measurable adverse effects on tissue anatomy or organism (morphology, size, composition) and the body function and clinical evolution. Among the most significant features of malnutrition is chronic malnutrition, as expressed by the deficit in linear growth, considered the most important marker of malnutrition, and still highly prevalent in all developing regions in the world. The linear growth (height) is also a parameter for evaluating the quality of life of a population and used to monitor the changes in economic patterns,of health and nutrition. Malnutrition is a consequence of the increase in infectious processes which in turn affects the specific and nonspecific immune responses, especially early in life before two years of age, where the child is more likely and totally dependent on others for their nutrition, care and social interactions. With the purpose of minimizing the consequences of malnutrition recovery centers and nutrition education (CREN) which are attached to universities with programs integrated with an appreciation of successful local initiatives actions, respecting regional cultures were created, active search for cases of malnutrition in the community and especially taking advantage of the equity of each person, family and community. A subnutrição é reconhecida como uma condição na qual ocorrem deficiências de energia, proteína ou micronutrientes, resultantes da alimentação inadequada e infecções recorrentes, cujas consequências determinam efeitos adversos mensuráveis sobre a anatomia de tecidos ou do organismo (morfologia, dimensão, composição) e sobre a função corporal e a evolução clínica. Dentre as características mais significativas da subnutrição, encontra-se a subnutrição crônica, expressa pelo déficit no crescimento linear, considerado o marcador mais importante da subnutrição, e ainda altamente prevalente em todas as regiões em desenvolvimento no mundo. O crescimento linear (estatura) também é parâmetro para a avaliação da qualidade de vida de uma população e utilizado para monitoramento de mudanças nos padrões econômicos, de saúde e nutrição. A subnutrição é uma consequência do aumento dos processos infecciosos que por sua vez afeta às respostas imunológicas específicas e inespecíficas, principalmente no início da vida antes dos dois anos de idade, onde a criança é mais susceptível e totalmente dependente dos outros para a sua nutrição, cuidados e interações sociais. Com o propósito da minimização das consequências da subnutrição foram criados os centros de recuperação e educação nutricional (CREN) os quais são programas ligados às universidades com ações integradas com valorização de iniciativas locais bem-sucedidas, respeitando as culturas regionais, busca ativa dos casos de subnutrição na comunidade e, principalmente, aproveitando o patrimônio de cada pessoa, família e comunidade.

- Abstract
This cross-sectional study employs structural equation modelling (sEM) to explore both direct and indirect effects of parental level of education and child individual factors on the length-for-age outcomes in children aged 6-24 months assisted by the Bolsa Família Program in the State of Alagoas. A total of 1448 children were analysed by the sEM technique. A negative standardised direct effect (sDE) of the children's younger age (sDE: -0·06; P = 0·017), the use of bottle feeding (sDE: -0·11; P < 0·001) and lack of a minimum acceptable diet (sDE: -0·09; P < 0·001) on the length-for-age indicator was found. Being female (SDE: 0·08; P = 0·001), a higher birth weight (SDE: 0·33; P < 0·001), being ever breastfed (sdE: 0·07; P = 0·004) and a higher level of parental education (SDE: 0·09; P < 0·001) showed a positive SDE effect on the child's length-for-age. The model also demonstrated a negative standardised indirect effect (SIE) of the sweet beverage consumption (SIE: -0·08; P = 0·003) and a positive effect of being ever breastfed (SIE: 0·06; P = 0·017) on the child's length-for-age through parental level of education as a mediator. This research underscores the crucial role of proper feeding practices and provides valuable insights for the development of targeted interventions, policies and programmes to improve nutritional well-being and promote adequate linear growth and development among young children facing similar challenges.

- Abstract
This ecological study aimed to analyze the trend of the nutritional status of pregnant adolescent beneficiaries of the Brazilian Bolsa Família conditional cash transfer program in the 2008-2018 period. We evaluated secondary data of pregnant adolescent beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program from January 2008 to December 2018, extracted from the public reports of the WEB Food and Nutrition Surveillance System. We accessed the monitoring reports on the consolidated public-access health conditionalities of the Bolsa Família Program, always considering the second validity. An annual variation of -1.2% (95%CI: [-1.6; -0.8] p<0.01) was observed in the prevalence of underweight in Brazil in the studied sample. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in the country had annual variations of 2.9% (95%CI: [2.0; 3.7] p<0.01) and 7.5% (95%CI: [5.7; 9.3] p<0.01), respectively. We conclude by saying, that, in the evaluated period, the prevalence of underweight among pregnant adolescent beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program showed a decreasing trend, while the prevalence of overweight and obesity increased throughout Brazil.

- Abstract
The clinical and nutritional status of pregnant women are important variables for birth-weight risk inadequacies. Thus, this study sought to evaluate the nutritional status of high-risk pregnant women and its association with birth weight of their offspring. It involved a cross-sectional study with high-risk pregnant women assisted at the university hospital of Maceio in the State of Alagoas and their newborns. The nutritional status of pregnant women and their offspring was evaluated according to body mass index for gestational age and birth weight, respectively. The association between maternal factors (comorbidities and nutritional status) and birth weight was assessed by the chi-square test and Pearson correlation, by adopting a confidence level of 95%. One hundred and forty-nine pregnant women were studied, 19.7% of whom were of normal weight; 32% were underweight; and 48.3% were overweight. Among newborns, 39.6% referred to as small for gestational age (SGA); 26.8% appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and 33.6% large for gestational age (LGA). LGA offspring were associated with overweight and the presence of metabolic comorbidities and SGA offspring were associated with insufficient gestational weight gain, whereby interventions are needed to reduce these outcomes.

- Abstract
Objective: To determine if the treatment of stunted children offered at a specialized center influences their cognitive performance., Methods: Two groups of children from vulnerable families were selected, one consisting of stunted children being treated at the Nutrition Education and Recovery Center (CREN), and the other group of eutrophic children from a local, public day care center. At CREN, children are treated in a day-hospital system (9 hours/day, 5 days/week), receiving medical, nutritional and psycho-pedagogical support. All children were submitted to the Denver-II Development Screening Test and had their development and the height-for-age index assessed at 3 moments: at the beginning of the follow-up, and after 6 and 12 months. The socioeconomic status, according to the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria, was assessed at the beginning of the follow-up. Data were treated by prevalence ratios for cross-sectional baseline analysis, using the Poisson regression, and by pooled prevalence ratios for longitudinal analysis, using a generalized equation estimation model, both adjusted by age, sex and economic status., Results: Seventy-four children were included, 37 for each group. There were no differences in age, sex and socioeconomic status between groups. In the longitudinal analysis, the CREN group showed better performance in the personal-social domain (pooled prevalence ratio: 0.89; 95% confidence interval - 95%IC 0.82-0.95), with no differences in the other domains., Conclusions: The treatment offered at CREN satisfactorily improved the social skills of the treated children, without changing other domains.

- Abstract
Background: Studies have shown that pre/postnatal undernutrition leads to higher risk of non communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity in adulthood., Objective: To determine whether overweight adolescents with mild stunting [height-for-age Z scores (HAZ) in the range <-1 to ≥ -2] have higher blood pressure than overweight individuals with normal stature (HAZ ≥ -1)., Methods: Participants were classified as mildly stunted or of normal stature, and further stratified according to body mass index-for-age percentiles as overweight, normal or underweight. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DPB) blood pressures were determined according to guidelines, and abdominal fat was analyzed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry., Results: Mild stunted overweight individuals showed higher DBP values (p=0.001) than their underweight counterparts (69.75 ± 12.03 and 54.46 ± 11.24 mmHg, respectively), but similar to those of normal BMI. No differences were found in DBP values of normal, overweight and underweight individuals among the normal stature groups. An increase in SBP (p=0.01) among mild stunted individuals was found when those with overweight were compared to their underweight and normal BMI counterparts (114.70 ± 15.46, 97.38 ± 10.87 and 104.72 ± 12.24 mmHg, respectively). Although no differences were observed in the means of SBP between mild stunting and normal stature groups, a significant intercept was found (p=0.01), revealing higher SBP among stunted individuals. There was a correlation between SBP and abdominal fat (r=0.42, ρ=0.02) in the stunted group., Conclusion: Stunted individuals with overweight showed higher SBP than those of normal stature and overweight. These findings confirm that mild stunting increase the risk of future hypertension and alterations are evident at early age.

- Abstract
Incidence of work-related accidents in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil, was estimated according to gender, age, employment status, occupation, and type of work. A household survey was conducted by systematic random group sampling (195 census tracts). Information was collected from all residents 10 years or older in each household. Of those who had worked during the 90 days prior to the interview, we obtained information on occupation, job position, and employment contract. The study included 9,626 households (sample fraction 0.26). The proportion of non-fatal work accidents in the municipal area was 3.3% (95%CI: 2.7-3.9), higher for men 4.5% (95%CI: 3.6-5.5) and varying with type of employment contract and occupation. Compared to results from previous studies, we observed a decline in work-related accident risk.

- Abstract
Objective: To assess whether exposure to occupational noise is an important risk factor for work-related injuries., Methods: A population-based case-control study was performed. Data collection was carried out from May 16, 2002 to October 15, 2002 in the city of Botucatu, southeast Brazil. Cases were defined as workers who had suffered typical work-related injuries in a 90-day period previously to the study, and who identified through systematic random sampling of their households. Controls were non-injured workers randomly sampled from the same population, matched on 3:1 ratio according to sex, age group and census track. A multiple logistic regression model was adjusted, where the independent variable was exposure to occupational noise, controlled for covariates of interest., Results: A total of 94 cases and 282 controls were analyzed. An adjusted multiple regression model showed that "work always exposed to high-level noise" and "work sometimes exposed to high-level noise" were associated to a relative risk for work-related injuries of about 5.0 (95% CI: 2.8-8.7; p<0.001) and 3.7 (95% CI: 1.8-7.4; p=0.0003) respectively, when work not exposed to noise was taken as a reference, controlled for several covariates., Conclusions: Based on the study findings, investing in hearing conservation programs, particularly those for controlling noise emission at its source, is justifiable aiming at both hearing health maintenance and reduction of work-related injuries.

- Abstract
Objective: The implementation of work-related injury prevention policies has been hindered by underreporting of incidents among formal workers, and substantial underreporting among informal workforce. This study aimed at estimating the underreporting of work-related injury in a median-sized city., Methods: A random survey was carried out among residences in the urban area of Brazil. Residents were interviewed about the occurrence of work-related injury to people aged more than nine years in the last 90 days. All incidents reported were double checked in the National Social Security Institute (INSS) records., Results: There were 9,626 residences visited. It was estimated 79.5% (CI 95%: 78.8%-80.3%) of underreporting of work-related injury., Conclusions: Work-related injury reporting is poor in the study location and this may be occurring in other cities. Data suggest the need to build up information systems on Brazilian workers' health. It should incorporate methods, materials and human recourses necessary to recognize, store, analyze, and spread information to support injury prevention policies and promote workers' health programs.
