ABSTRACT Objective To estimate the prevalence of overweight among teachers in Minas Gerais during the Covid-19 pandemic and to review relevant gender associated factors. Methods Cross-sectional and analytical study, websurvey type, carried out with 15,641 teachers of public Basic Education in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection took place from August to September 2020 with the use of a digital form. The dependent variable was overweight, calculated by the body mass index using the teachers’ self-reported weight and height. Poisson regression was used, with robust variance. Results Among the participating teachers, 52.4% were overweight. When stratified by gender, 51.1% women and 58.2% men were considered overweight, with a significant difference between them (p<0.001). There was a higher prevalence of overweight among women in the age group of 30 to 59 years (PR=1.39) and in women 60 years or older (PR=1.45) living in the metropolitan region of the state (PR=1.06) who had children (PR=1.19), who were not exercising (PR=1.09) and with a worse dietary pattern during the pandemic (PR=1.12), much afraid of Covid-19 (PR=1.04) and with anxiety and/or depression during the pandemic (PR=1.14). Among men, there was a higher prevalence of overweight among those individuals aged 30 to 59 years (PR=1.19), who lived with a spouse (PR=1.15) working more than 40 hours per week (PR=1.12) and those with the worst dietary pattern during the pandemic (PR=1.10). Conclusion The results showed a 52.4% prevalence of overweight teachers and different associated factors between the genders.

ABSTRACT Objective Since obesity is a multifactorial disease, some health professionals may esteem that weight control is a matter of personal willpower and stigmatize individuals. These weight-based attitudes seem quite common even among dietitians. This study aimed to determine whether the level of weight bias affects the dietary approaches of the dietitians. Methods Two hypothetical cases with obese and normal weight vignettes were created to be evaluated, and the explicit weight bias was assessed by the fat phobia scale among 99 dietitians via an online questionnaire. Results The majority of the dietitians demonstrated mild or moderate levels of weight bias (59.6% and 32.3%, respectively). The obese vignette had the highest agreement for nearly all adjectives and was perceived as having poorer diet quality, general health status, and insufficient physical activity level. Conclusion Overall, as weight bias is a concerning issue among most dietitians, necessary steps are required for the reduction of prejudice and thus protect the patients from stigmatizing attitudes.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the nutritional and functional status, swallowing disorders, and musculoskeletal manifestations of patients with Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, stratified by the Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with patients diagnosed with Post-Covid-19 Syndrome after discharge from the intensive care unit of a university hospital. The evaluated outcomes were: nutritional status (Mini Nutritional Assessment, bioimpedance and anthropometry), swallowing disorders (Dysphagia Risk Evaluation Protocol), functional status (Post-Covid-19 Functional Status Scale), and musculoskeletal manifestations. According to the Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index, patients were stratified in terms of loss or not loss of muscle mass. Results Thirty-eight patients were included in the study, 20 stratified into the no loss of muscle mass group (17 females; 49.45±12.67 years) and 18 into the loss of muscle mass group (18 males; 61.89±12.49 years). Both groups were at risk of malnutrition (Mini Nutritional Assessment scores between 17–23.5 points; No Loss of Muscle Mass Group: 21.82±3.93; Loss of Muscle Mass Group: 23.33±3.41) and obesity (No Loss of Muscle Mass Group: 33.76±6.34; Loss of Muscle Mass Group: 30.23±3.66). The groups differed in terms of bioimpedance parameters (except fat mass) and age. However, there were no differences in swallowing alterations, functional status, and musculoskeletal manifestations. Conclusion Patients with Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, stratified according to the Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index, were at risk of malnutrition and obesity. The persistence of fatigue, weakness, myalgia and arthralgia at 6 months after hospital discharge is noteworthy. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive care for patients with Post-Covid-19 Syndrome.
【摘要】目的通过阑尾骨骼肌质量指数(appendar Skeletal Muscle Mass Index)分层，评估covid -19综合征后患者的营养和功能状况、吞咽障碍和肌肉骨骼表现。方法对某大学附属医院重症监护病房出院后诊断为covid -19后综合征的患者进行横断面研究。评估的结果包括:营养状况(迷你营养评估、生物阻抗和人体测量)、吞咽障碍(吞咽困难风险评估方案)、功能状态(covid -19后功能状态量表)和肌肉骨骼表现。根据阑尾骨骼肌质量指数，根据肌肉质量的减少或不减少对患者进行分层。结果38例患者纳入研究，其中20例分为肌肉量未减少组(女性17例;49.45±12.67岁)，18例为肌肉量减少组(男性18例;61.89±12.49年)。两组都有营养不良的风险(迷你营养评估得分在17-23.5分之间;肌肉量未减少组:21.82±3.93;肌肉量减少组:23.33±3.41)和肥胖组(肌肉量未减少组:33.76±6.34;肌肉量损失组:30.23±3.66)。两组在生物阻抗参数(脂肪量除外)和年龄方面存在差异。然而，在吞咽改变、功能状态和肌肉骨骼表现方面没有差异。结论根据阑尾骨骼肌质量指数分层的新冠肺炎后综合征患者存在营养不良和肥胖的风险。值得注意的是，出院后6个月持续出现疲劳、虚弱、肌痛和关节痛。这些发现强调了对covid -19后综合征患者进行全面护理的重要性。

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the prevalence of food insecurity among beneficiary and non-beneficiary university students of financial aid and associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study, with a probabilistic sample of 100 university students, was conducted at a federal university located on the coastal city of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil. The data made it possible to address sociodemographic aspects, food security and food quality markers. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Fisher’s exact association test and Mann-Whitney comparisons of means were used to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity between groups and associations with covariables at 5%. Results: The results revealed significant differences between groups. Receiving financial aid was associated with more vulnerability to facing food insecurity: 94% have some level of food insecurity (p=0.001); non-white skin color (p=0.019); overseeing one’s own income (p=0.001); the amount of money available to stay at the university (p=0.030). According to food quality markers, both groups often consumed ultra-processed foods (unhealthy quality marker). In contrast, most (92.3%) were concerned with consuming healthy foods. Conclusion: The pre-Covid-19 scenario reveals that despite receiving financial aid, a large part of students faced food insecurity in the three months prior to the study. Therefore, food insecurity should be recognized as a public health concern among university students, and adequate resources should be made available to avoid the occurrence of dropouts and assist in breaking the intergenerational cycle of social exclusion and the human right to food.

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the development and update of an instrument for food categorisation according to the extension and purpose of industrial processing, and to test its practical application. Methods After updating the instrument based on a recent publication on the NOVA classification, it was applied by five researchers to a database of 108 food items. These items are part of a database of foods announced in the health-related sections of supermarket promotional circulars. The Cohen’s weighted kappa coefficient was calculated to determine intra-rater agreement; Fleiss’ kappa and Kendall’s coefficient were applied to determine inter-rater agreement. Results In the updated version, two classes of additives and eight substances considered by the most recent publication as specific to ultra-processed foods were added. The intra-rater agreement was 100% (p<0.001), indicating an “almost perfect” agreement; Fleiss’ agreement among all raters ranged from 74% to 97% (p<0.001), which represents an agreement that ranged from “strong” to “almost perfect”; Kendall’s W was higher than 0.93 (p<0.001) among all raters. Conclusion The updated instrument showed high agreement and proved to be a methodologically sound and applicable tool for the purpose of classifying foods by the extension and purpose of industrial processing.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the association of gestational weight gain inadequacies with sociodemographic indicators and characteristics of the living environment. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 with a probabilistic sample of 3580 postpartum women who gave birth in maternity hospitals of the Unified Health System in the State of Santa Catarina. Prevalence was calculated and, using logistic regression models, odd ratios of inadequate and adequate gestational weight gain were estimated according to sociodemographic and health indicators (Body Mass Index, age, marital status, race/skin color and education); and characteristics of the neighborhood (violence, social cohesion, encouragement to practice physical activity and access to healthy food). Results It was observed that 29.6% of the mothers had adequate gestational weight gain, 29.3% insufficient and 41.1% excessive gestational weight gain. Lower chances of adequate weight gain were found in women with pre-pregnancy body mass index classified as overweight (43.0%) and obesity (58.0%) and who lived in an environment with social cohesion (25.0%). In contrast, the chances of adequate weight gain were 43.0% higher among women with 12 years of schooling or more when compared to those with 8 years or less. Conclusion Inadequate gestational weight gain is associated with high pre-pregnancy body mass index, with social cohesion in the living environment and with a low level of education of the pregnant woman, requiring public policies that go beyond prenatal care.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the association between the maternal diet, according to the degree of processing of food consumption, and birth weight for gestational age and sex. Methods A cross-sectional study with 300 women was conducted from February 2009 to 2011 from a maternity ward in Mesquita, Rio de Janeiro. The outcome was based on sex-specific birth weight for gestational age: small, adequate, or large. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to estimate the food consumption during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. The food intake was classified into three groups according to the degree of processing: 1) unprocessed or minimally processed foods and culinary ingredients (oil, fats, salt, and sugar), 2) processed foods, and 3) ultra-processed foods. Descriptive analyses were made to assess the tertiles of the percentage of energy intake of each food group on the outcome and on maternal and infant characteristics. Multinomial logistic regressions were used to test the association of the tertiles of food according to the degree of processing on the outcome (adequate, small, or large birth weight for gestational age and sex). Results The analysis of the food frequency questionnaire from the 300 women indicated that the mean percentage of kcal consumed from unprocessed and minimally processed food and culinary ingredients was 54.0%, while the percentages of energy from processed foods and ultra-processed foods were 2.0% and 44.0%, respectively. The highest tertile of consumption of unprocessed and minimally processed food and culinary ingredients had a protective effect on the prevalence of newborn large for gestational weight in relation to the lowest (OR: 0.13; 95% IC: 0.02 to 0.89; p=0.04). Conclusion High consumption of unprocessed and minimally processed food and culinary ingredients during the last six months of pregnancy might be a protective factor against having a newborn large for gestational weight when compared to mothers with the lowest consumption.

ABSTRACT Objective: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition, introduced as a useful method in the diagnosis of malnutrition, is supported by little evidence in hospitalized individuals. Therefore, we reviewed this method with two objectives: 1) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria with the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment; 2) to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and its associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted with individuals hospitalized between April 2019 and July 2021. Sociodemographic, clinical and anthropometric information was investigated. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition was the index test and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment the standard reference to assess malnutrition. For diagnostic accuracy, measurements of sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve and kappa agreement were considered. Results: A total of 105 individuals participated (age 65.9±9.9 years). The prevalence of malnutrition in the total sample was 48.6% and 67.6% according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment criteria, respectively. An association was observed between malnutrition and the variables that stand behind hospitalization, metabolic stress and anthropometric indicators (p<0.05). The comparison showed sensitivity and specificity values for the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria of 67.6% (95% CI: 56.1-77.3) and 91.2% (95% CI: 77.0-96.9) (total sample) and 71.7% (95% CI: 58.4-82.0) and 95.5% (95% CI: 78.2-99.2) (elderly), respectively. An agreement of 49% was observed, raising to 55% when the elderly were assessed separately. Conclusion: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria presented adequate sensitivity conditions and specificity to diagnose malnutrition, moderate agreement with the reference standard and good applicability in hospitalized patients’ clinical practice. Prevalence of malnutrition was high, regardless of the method used, and was associated with the reason for hospitalization, metabolic stress and anthropometric indicators.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the managerial profile and forms of intersectoral articulation in the framework of food and nutrition carried out in Primary Health Care and verify its association with the prevalence of obesity in the three health macro-regions of the State of Paraíba. Methods: Cross-sectional survey carried out in 151 municipalities in Paraíba, nested in a national population-based survey. Variables related to the manager, managerial profile, intersectoral forms of articulation, and obesity rates among adults were evaluated according to data from the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System. Results: All macro-regions presented a mean of adults obesity higher than the national reference for individual over 18 years of age described in the National Health Plan 2020-2023. The presence of the technician responsible for food and nutrition actions was associated with higher rates of obesity. The performance of food and nutrition education actions, and intersectoral practices related to the Food and Nutrition Security sector were associated with lower prevalence of obesity. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the actions cannot be guaranteed by the presence of a specific position for the actions. Food and Nutrition Education actions are recommended to reduce the prevalence of obesity.

ABSTRACT Objective Dietary supplements use is increasing. Dietary supplements may contain high doses of substances or dangerous ingredient combinations. This article aims to investigate, by analyzing dietary supplements labels, if there are any doping substances or dangerous amounts of any other component in the reviewed dietary supplements. Methods Several brands which possessed their supplements sorted in pre-workout and post-workout were analyzed. 40 dietary supplements with all ingredients described were included. The minimum and maximum dosages of dietary supplements were statistically described as Mean±SD. Results Citrus aurantium extract, Yohimbe extract, Garcinia cambogia extract and Maca root extract were reported in some of the analyzed dietary supplements. Regarding caffeine, the pre-workout group displayed higher mean caffeine (241±86mg) than the post-workout group (183±68mg), and the minimal mean dose was 226±84mg; meanwhile, the maximal mean dose was 242±88mg. Concerning creatine, the pre-workout group displayed lower mean creatine (3106±1079mg) than the post-workout group (4137±4177mg), and the minimal mean dose was 3167±1728mg; meanwhile, the maximal mean dose was 3917±3643mg. The salt content in the post-workout group displayed a much higher mean (2155±4486mg) than the pre-workout group (464±605mg), and the minimal mean dose was 1635±3930mg; meanwhile, the maximal mean dose was 1708±3926g. Conclusions No doping substances were reported in the dietary supplements, but consumption recommendations on the label could lead to excessive consumption of some not yet fully tested ingredients.
