ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective Analyze the association between screen use at night, food consumption at dinner, and evening snack in schoolchildren with and without overweight. Methods Cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of 1396 schoolchildren from 7 to 14 years of age from public and private schools of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Dietary intake and frequency of screen use of the previous day were obtained through the questionnaire Consumo Alimentar e Atividades Físicas de Escolares (Food Consumption and Physical Activities of Schoolchildren). The association between screen use at night (exposure) and consumption of food groups (outcome) according to weight status was assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Results At dinner, schoolchildren without overweight who used screens once had a lower chance of consuming fruits and vegetables (OR: 0.62, p=0.017) compared to those who did not use screens. In addition, those who used screens twice were more likely to consume sweets (OR: 2.01, p=0.002), and screen use three times or more was inversely associated with beans (OR: 0.24, p=0.003) and meat, eggs, and seafood (OR: 0.35, p=0.011) consumption. Overweight schoolchildren who used screens three times or more were more likely to consume ultra-processed foods and pizza/hamburger/hot dogs (OR: 2.51, p=0.009). For the evening snack, it was observed that schoolchildren without overweight who used screens three times or more had a greater chance of consuming ultra-processed foods and pizza/hamburger/hot dogs (OR: 8.26; p=0.016). Conclusion Overweight and non-overweight schoolchildren who used screens were more likely to consume ultra-processed foods. Schoolchildren without overweight and who use screens more often at night are less likely to consume healthy foods.
RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a associação entre o uso de dispositivo de tela no período noturno, o consumo alimentar no jantar e lanche da noite em escolares com e sem sobrepeso. Métodos Estudo transversal com uma amostra probabilística de 1.396 escolares de 7 a 14 anos de idade de escolas públicas e privadas de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. O consumo alimentar e a frequência de uso de dispositivos de telas do dia anterior foram obtidas por meio do questionário Consumo Alimentar e Atividades Físicas de Escolares. A associação entre o uso de dispositivo de tela no período noturno (exposição) e o consumo alimentar (desfecho) foi verificada por meio de regressão logística. Resultados No jantar, os escolares sem sobrepeso que utilizaram dispositivo de tela uma vez tiveram menor chance de consumir frutas, verduras e legumes (OR: 0,62, p=0,017) comparado com aqueles que não usaram dispositivos de telas. Além disso, aqueles que usaram dispositivo de tela duas vezes, tiveram maior chance de consumir doces (OR: 2,01, p=0,002) e a utilização de dispositivo de tela três vezes ou mais foi inversamente associado ao consumo de feijão (OR: 0,24, p=0.003), carnes, ovos e peixes (OR: 0,35, p=0,011). Os escolares com sobrepeso que utilizaram dispositivo de tela três vezes ou mais tiveram maior chance de consumirem ultraprocessados e lanches tipo pizza/hambúrguer/cachorro-quente (OR: 2,51, p=0,009). No lanche da noite, observou-se que os escolares sem sobrepeso que utilizaram dispositivo de tela três vezes ou mais, tiveram maior chance de consumir ultraprocessados e lanches (OR: 8,26; p=0,016). Conclusão Os escolares com e sem sobrepeso que utilizaram dispositivo de tela tiveram mais chances de consumir alimentos ultraprocessados. Os escolares sem sobrepeso que utilizam dispositivo de tela mais vezes a noite possuem menor chance de consumir alimentos saudáveis.

ABSTRACT Objective To review the demographic and socioeconomic profile of the Homeless Workers Movement's Solidarity Kitchen project users in the Sol Nascente Community, Federal District, Brazil. Methods Descriptive cross-sectional study. The interviews were conducted with adults, users of the solidarity kitchen, in August 2022, using a standardized questionnaire containing demographic, socioeconomic, housing and food consumption information. The outcome of the study was Frequent Use (picking up food at the solidarity kitchen five days/week). General and gender descriptive analyses were conducted, as well as a bivariate analysis based on the chi-square test (p<0.05). Results The sample was composed of 83 dark complexion women with a mean age of 39.6 years (SD=14.6). A total of 35 women (42.2%) had attended the first year of high school or over, and approximately 65.0% had a job and were paid up to one minimum wage. Most received social benefits and 81.9% were unemployed at the time of the survey. More than half of the respondents owned their own home and among those who did not, 64.0% paid rent. A total of 46.3% respondents had up to two daily meals. The prevalence of users who were considered Frequent Users was 61.0%. Women reported lower family income, greater dependence on aid, more unemployment, in addition to living with a greater number of people and having more people in the house who took food from the solidarity kitchen, all statistically significant differences. Conclusion The project Solidarity Kitchen essentially caters to dark complexion women with lower family income, who enhance the inequalities and inequities conditions in food security in the country.
RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o perfil demográfico e socioeconômico dos usuários do projeto Cozinha Solidária do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Teto no Sol Nascente, Distrito Federal, Brasil. Métodos Estudo descritivo do tipo transversal. As entrevistas foram realizadas com adultos, usuários da cozinha solidária, em agosto de 2022, a partir de um questionário padronizado contendo informações demográficas e socioeconômicas, sobre moradia e alimentação. O desfecho do estudo foi considerado Consumo Frequente (pegar comida na cozinha solidária nos cinco dias da semana: sim/não). Foram conduzidas as análises descritivas geral e por sexo, e bivariadas a partir do Teste qui-quadrado (p<0,05). Resultados A amostra de 83 indivíduos foi composta predominantemente por mulheres, pretas e pardas, com idade média de 39,6 anos (DP=14,6). Onde 42,2% cursaram o 1º ano do ensino médio ou mais e aproximadamente 65% recebiam até um salário-mínimo. A maioria recebia benefício social e 81,9% estava desempregada no momento da entrevista. Mais da metade dos entrevistados possuíam casa própria e, entre os que não tinham, 64,0% pagavam aluguel. O número de refeições diárias foi de até duas para 46,3% dos entrevistados. A prevalência de usuários que tinham Consumo Frequente foi 61%. As mulheres relataram menor renda familiar, maior dependência de auxílios, maior desemprego, além de residirem com mais pessoas, os quais pegavam mais comida da cozinha solidária, sendo todas diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão O projeto atende essencialmente mulheres, pretas e com menor renda familiar, corroborando o panorama das desigualdades e iniquidades no acesso à alimentação no país.

O distanciamento social ocasionado pela pandemia de Covid-19 levou a profundas mudanças na rotina das famílias com crianças pequenas, aumentando o estresse no ambiente doméstico. Este estudo analisou a experiência de planejamento e implementação de um projeto de extensão universitária que ofereceu orientação a pais com filhos de 0 a 11 anos por meio de chamadas de áudio durante a pandemia. O protocolo de atendimento foi desenvolvido para atender às necessidades de famílias de baixa renda e listava problemas específicos relacionados ao confinamento em casa e ao fechamento das escolas seguidos por uma variedade de estratégias de enfrentamento. A análise de 223 queixas relatadas pelos usuários em 130 ligações revelou que 94% dos problemas referidos pelos pais foram contemplados pelo protocolo de atendimento e estavam relacionados aos problemas externalizantes (39%) ou internalizantes (26%) das crianças ou ao declínio do bem-estar subjetivo dos pais (29%). Serviços de apoio devem orientar os pais quanto ao uso de práticas responsivas e assertivas que promovam o bem-estar emocional da criança e estabeleçam expectativas comportamentais em contextos estressantes. A diminuição dos conflitos entre pais e filhos resultante do uso dessas estratégias tende a reduzir o sofrimento dos pais, aumentando sua sensação de bem-estar subjetivo. Recomenda-se ampla divulgação dessas iniciativas e seguimento dos casos.(AU)
The social distancing the COVID-19 pandemic entailed has led to profound changes in the routine of families with young children, increasing stress in the home environment. This study analyzed the experience of planning and implementing a university extension program that offered support to parents with children from 0 to 11 years old via audio calls during the COVID-19 pandemic. The service protocol was developed to meet the needs of low-income families and listed specific problems related to home confinement and school closure followed by a variety of coping strategies. The analysis of 223 complaints reported by users in 130 calls revealed that 94% of the problems reported by parents were addressed by the protocol and were related to children's externalizing (39%) or internalizing (26%) problems or to the decline in parents' subjective well-being (29%). Support services should guide parents on the use of responsive and assertive practices that promote the child's emotional well-being and set behavioral expectations in stressful contexts. The reduction in conflicts between parents and children resulting from the use of these strategies tends to reduce parents' suffering, increasing their sense of subjective well-being. Wide dissemination of these initiatives and case follow-up are recommended.(AU)
La distancia social causada por la pandemia de COVID-19 condujo a cambios profundos en la rutina de las familias con niños pequeños, aumentando el estrés en el entorno del hogar. Este estudio analizó la experiencia de planificar e implementar un proyecto de extensión universitaria que ofreció orientación a los padres con niños de cero a 11 años a través de llamadas de audio durante la pandemia COVID-19. El protocolo de atención se desarrolló para satisfacer las necesidades de las familias de bajos ingresos y enumeró problemas específicos relacionados con el confinamiento en el hogar y el cierre de la escuela, seguido de una variedad de estrategias de afrontamiento. El análisis de 223 quejas informadas por los usuarios en 130 llamadas reveló que el 94% de los problemas informados por los padres fueron abordados por el protocolo de atención y estaban relacionados con los problemas de externalización (39%) o internalización (26%) de los niños o la disminución del bienestar subjetivo de los padres (29%). Los servicios de apoyo deberían aconsejar a los padres sobre el uso de prácticas receptivas y asertivas que promuevan el bienestar emocional del niño y establezcan expectativas de comportamiento en contextos estresantes. La reducción de los conflictos entre padres e hijos como resultado del uso de estas estrategias tiende a reducir el sufrimiento de los padres, aumentando su sensación de bienestar subjetivo. Se recomienda una amplia difusión de estas iniciativas y seguimiento de casos.(AU)

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a construção metodológica desenvolvida em uma pesquisa de mestrado, na qual sustentamos a escrita de cenas como método de pesquisa da escuta clínica. As cenas do trabalho em questão foram recolhidas ao longo do tempo, no contorno da experiência de um projeto de extensão universitária de atenção à infância e adolescência em situação de vulnerabilidade social, situado em uma comunidade periférica. Apresentamos, neste texto, as interrogações que se elaboraram em torno da escolha pelo trabalho com cenas, e compartilhamos o resgate histórico dessas como um método de escrever a clínica, bem como a retomada de sua análise a partir da tradição psicanalítica. Amparadas nesta teoria e em leituras e contribuições do filósofo francês Jacques Derrida, embasamos a noção de que a cena se constitui como um lugar de produção, ao engendrar a configuração particular de elementos significantes nos processos de subjetivação e de construção social. A cena não é, então, compreendida aqui como uma representação do que acontece na clínica, mas como um modo de produzir a escuta e os seus processos de investigação.(AU)
This article aims to present the methodological construction developed in a master's research, in which the writing of scenes as a method of clinical listening research was endorsed. The scenes from the study in question were collected over time, from the experience gained in a project conducted within a university extension program on care in childhood and adolescence in social vulnerability, in a peripheral community. In this study, we present some questions that were elaborated surrounding the choices of working with scenes; and we share the historical rescue of this work as a method of writing on clinic practices and resuming their analysis from the psychoanalytic tradition. Based on the psychoanalytic theory and on the readings and contributions of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, we corroborate the notion that the scene is constituted as a place of production, engendering the particular configuration of significant elements in the processes of subjectivation and social construction. Here, the scene is not a representation of clinical practice but one mode of producing listening and its research processes.(AU)

Introdução: Cozinhar em casa pode promover uma alimentação mais saudável. Porém, uma possível redução na transmissão de conhecimentos e habilidades culinárias parece prejudicar a confiança e a autonomia dos jovens para preparar as refeições. Para informar o desenvolvimento de iniciativas que apoiem os jovens adultos a superar as barreiras para cozinhar e melhorar a qualidade da dieta, é importante investigar o processo de socialização culinária no contexto de seu próprio curso de vida. Objetivo: Este estudo qualitativo teve como objetivo explorar como jovens adultos que têm o hábito de cozinhar percebem seu envolvimento com essa prática e identificar quais agentes socializadores culinários fizeram parte de seu processo de aprendizagem. Método: Entrevistas abertas baseadas na abordagem da perspectiva do curso de vida foram realizadas com adultos jovens brasileiros de 19 a 24 anos de ambos os sexos e analisadas tematicamente. Resultados: As percepções sobre cozinhar e sobre aprender a cozinhar levaram à criação de seis temas: (1) "Cuidar de mim"; (2) "Sentimentos (des)agradáveis"; (3) "Promover o convívio"; (4) "Preocupação com os resultados"; (5) "Habilidades necessárias"; e (6) "Agentes de socialização". Conclusões: As iniciativas para permitir que os adultos jovens superem as barreiras para cozinhar e potencialmente melhorar a qualidade da dieta precisam se concentrar não apenas no desenvolvimento prático de habilidades culinárias, mas também em habilidades, como planejamento. Também é importante fomentar mensagens positivas envolvendo autocuidado, prazer e convívio. Formas de usar a internet e as mídias sociais para engajar essa população a cozinhar mais merecem ser mais bem exploradas.
Introduction: Cooking at home is conducive to better diet quality and can help improve health. Nevertheless, the reduced transmission of culinary knowledge and skills worldwide hinders young adults' confidence and autonomy to prepare meals. To inform the development of initiatives that support young adults to overcome barriers to cook and improve their diet quality, it is important to investigate the process of culinary socialization in the context of their own life course. Objective: This qualitative study aimed to explore how young adults who cook perceive their involvement with this practice and to identify which culinary socializing agents were part of their learning process. Method: Open interviews based on the life-course perspective approach were conducted with male and female Brazilian young adults aged 19-24 years-old and thematically analysed. Results: Perceptions about cooking and about learning how to cook led to the creation of six themes: (1) "Caring about myself"; (2) "(Un)pleasant feelings"; (3) "Promoting conviviality"; (4) "Worrying about outcomes"; (5) "Skills needed"; and (6) "Socializing agents". Conclusions: Initiatives to enable young adults overcoming barriers to cook and potentially improve their diet quality need to focus not only on practical cooking skills development, but also on planning. Also important is to foster positive messages involving self-care, pleasure, and conviviality. Ways of using the internet and social media to engage this population to cook more deserves to be further explored.

INTRODUCCION. El índice glicémico (IG) es la forma numérica que representa la rapidez de la absorción de los carbohidratos de un alimento, este índice multiplicado por la cantidad de carbohidratos en gramos dividido entre 100 es la carga glicémica (CG), ambos indicadores permiten la selección y uso de alimentos en dietas para controlar los niveles de glucosa sanguínea repercutiendo sobre el estado y restitución de la salud. La Galleta de Chuño es un alimento de repostería a base de fécula de papa que ha ampliado su mercado de consumo a las ciudades bolivianas, es fuente de carbohidratos y es consumido como sustituto del pan y galletas. OBJETIVOS. Determinar el índice glicémico y la carga glicémica de Galletas de Chuño en estudiantes del CETAL La Paz. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS. Se realizó un estudio observacional, prospectivo, transversal y descriptivo seleccionando 10 estudiantes que cumplieron con criterios de selección. Se evaluó la respuesta glucémica a los 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 y 120 min tras la ingesta de una solución con 50 g de glucosa y tras el consumo de 72,14 g de Galletas de Chuño, siguiendo procedimientos recomendados por la FAO/WHO para posteriormente calcular el índice glucémico y la carga glucémica. RESULTADOS. El valor promedio del IG de las Galletas de Chuño fue de 65,5 ± 4,8. La CG fue 13,6 para una ración de 30 g de las Galletas de Chuño. CONCLUSIONES. La Galleta de Chuño es un alimento de índice glucémico medio y de carga glicémica media, por lo que es recomendado para el consumo de la población en general, pero con moderación en su ingesta frecuente.
INTRODUCTION. The glycemic index (GI) is the numerical form that represents the rate of the carbohydrate absorption after a meal. This index multiplied by the amount of carbohydrates in grams divided by 100 is the glycemic load (CG). Both indicators allow selection and use of food in diets to control blood glucose levels, affecting the state and restitution of health. Chuño biscuits is a pastry food based on potato starch that has expanded its consumer market to Bolivian cities, it is a source of carbohydrates, and it is consumed as a substitute for bread and cookies. OBJECTIVES. To determine the glycemic index and the glycemic load of Chuño biscuits in students of Centro de Estudios Técnicos Acelerados Loreto (CETAL) in La Paz city. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This observational, prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study included ten students who met the selection criteria. The glycemic response was evaluated at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after ingesting a solution with 50 g of glucose and after consuming 72.14 g of Chuño biscuits, following procedures recommended by FAO / WHO to calculate the glycemic index and glycemic load subsequently. RESULTS. The average GI value of Chuño biscuits was 65.5 ± 4.8. The CG was 13.6 for a serving of 30 g of the Galletas de Chuño. CONCLUSIONS. Chuño biscuits are a food with a medium glycemic index and a medium glycemic load, so it is recommended for consumption by the general population, however, when its intake is frequent, it should be consumed in moderation.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as mudanças na frequência do consumo de refeições de adolescentes residentes na região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, em período de 5 anos. Utilizaram-se dados de dois estudos transversais, de base populacional, que foram realizados por meio de visitas domiciliares. Em 2005, a amostra final foi de 1089 domicílios com 511 adolescentes (de 12 a 18 anos), e em 2010 de 1121 domicílios com 314 adolescentes. A frequência do consumo de refeições foi obtida por meio de questionário autopreenchido e a avaliação da adequação de peso dos adolescentes foi realizada com base nos pontos de corte do IMC por sexo e faixa etária. Houve aumento da substituição diária do almoço tradicional por lanche (3,7% para 13,7%) e no consumo do jantar tradicional (62,9% para 72,0%). Os adolescentes com sobrepeso consumiram o desjejum com menor frequência do que aqueles sem sobrepeso (2005: 68,3% vs 79,3% p=0,02, 2010: 59,5% vs 77,4% p=0,03). Conclui-se que houve aumento da substituição diária do almoço tradicional por lanche e no consumo do jantar tradicional no período de 5 anos. Ademais, a prática do desjejum diário se associou com a classificação de IMC nos dois momentos do estudo, de modo que aqueles com sobrepeso consomem o desjejum com menor frequência.
Abstract This study described changes in meal frequency over a 5-year period among adolescents living in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region. The data used were from two cross-sectional, population-based studies conducted by home visits. In 2005 the final sample was 1089 households with 511 adolescents (aged 12 to 18 years) and in 2010, 1121 households with 314 adolescents. Meal frequency was obtained through self-administered questionnaire and the adolescents were assessed for appropriate weight by BMI cut-off points, by sex and age group. Increasingly, traditional daily lunch was replaced by snacks (from 3.7% to 13.7%) and traditional dinner was eaten (62.9% to 72.0%). Overweight adolescents ate breakfast less often than those not overweight (in 2005, 68.3% and 79.3%, p=0.02 and, in 2010, 59.5% and 77.4%, p=0.03). Traditional daily lunch was increasingly replaced by snacks and consumption of traditional dinner increased over the 5-year period. Also, eating breakfast every day was associated with BMI classification at both study times: those who were overweight consumed breakfast less frequently.

Objective: To analyze the situation and influencing factors of school meals leftover among primary and secondary school students in the area of the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students, improve the quality of school meals, develop healthy dietary behavior, and reduce food waste. Methods: In 2019, among the 50 monitoring counties that implemented the Compulsory Education Student Nutrition Improvement Program, two primary schools and two junior schools were randomly selected according to different food supply patterns.This study randomly selected one or two classes from grade 3 to grade 9. Basic information and school meals of 26 778 students were collected by using a student questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of leftovers rate. Results: 54.93% (14 709) of students wasted school meals, in which the highest rate was the staple food, with the main reason as "not in favor". 11.87% (1 743) of the students wasted school meals 6-7 days a week, with 54.20% (7 957) of students wasted but in less amount. The leftover rate of staple food was the highest (29.78%), followed by vegetables and meat. The main reason of leftovers was that they didn't like this kind of food (33.52%). The rate of school meal waste was higher for girls (OR=1.19,95%CI:1.13-1.25), junior high school students (OR=1.17, 95%CI: 1.11-1.25), resident students (OR=1.06, 95%CI: 1.00-1.12), lower economic level (OR=1.06, 95%CI: 1.00-1.12), parents working outside their houses (OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.13-1.30), health education classes (OR=1.70, 95%CI: 1.40-2.06), company-based meals (OR=1.89, 95%CI: 1.71-2.07) and school meals were not as good as home food(OR=1.89, 95%CI: 1.78-2.00)(P<0.05). Conclusions: It is common for poor rural primary and middle school students in central and western China to waste school meals, and the reasons were affected by many factors. Reducing food waste requires the joint efforts of individuals, families, schools and society.

The empowerment of home cooking has been recently approached in the literature as pertaining to cooking skills and the capacity to overcome social, physical, and economic obstacles. However, thus far no studies have related the State's role in this important health-promoting home practice, namely healthy cooking. We aim to elaborate on the concept and develop a multilevel conceptual model of cooking autonomy (CMCA) in order to relate the State's role in healthy home cooking. This is a theoretical-conceptual study consisting of three phases: conceptual elaboration, expert panel consultation, and content validity of the CMCA developed in this study. A comprehensive literature review worked as the theoretical and conceptual basis, featuring Amartya Sen's human capability approach. A total of 28 experts issued their opinions in listening workshops and interviews. Cooking autonomy was defined as the capacity to think, to decide, and to act to prepare meals from scratch, influenced by interpersonal relations, environment, cultural values, access to opportunities, and guarantee of rights. The CMCA has six levels, differing according to the degree of participation of an individual. We also present two charts with examples of the agent's practices and actions that can be developed by the State in the public policy sphere. As a pioneering model in the international literature, the CMCA provides the conceptual basis for the development of studies and interventions on cooking autonomy, focusing not only on individual skills, but also on the role of public policies for healthy home cooking.
El empoderamiento de cocinar en el hogar se ha tratado recientemente en la literatura como una cuestión dentro del ámbito de las habilidades para cocinar y la capacidad para superar obstáculos sociales, físicos, y económicos. No obstante, hasta ahora ningún estudio ha relacionado el papel del Estado para esta importante práctica de promoción de la salud en el hogar, denominada cocina sana. Nuestro objetivo ha sido elaborar el concepto y desarrollar un modelo conceptual multinivel de autonomía culinaria (MCAC), con el fin de relacionar el papel del estado para la cocina sana en el hogar. Se trata de un estudio teórico-conceptual consistente en tres fases: elaboración conceptual, consulta de panel de expertos, y validez del contenido del MCAC desarrollado en este ejercicio. La revisión general de la literatura sirvió como base teórica y conceptual, destacando el enfoque basado en las capacidades de Amartya Sen. Un total de 28 expertos proporcionaron sus opiniones escuchando talleres y entrevistas. La autonomía culinaria se definió como la capacidad para pensar, decidir, y actuar para preparar comidas desde cero, influenciada por las relaciones interpersonales, el ambiente, valores culturales, acceso a oportunidades, y garantía de derechos. El MCAC cuenta con seis niveles, diferenciados según el grado de participación individual del agente. También presentamos dos tablas con ejemplos de las prácticas y acciones de los agentes que se pueden desarrollar por parte del Estado en la esfera de políticas públicas. Como modelo pionero en la literatura mundial, el MCAC proporciona la base conceptual para el desarrollo de estudios e intervenciones en la autonomía culinaria, centrándose no solo en las habilidades individuales, sino también en el papel de las políticas públicas para la cocina sana en el hogar.
O empoderamento na culinária doméstica tem sido tratado recentemente, na literatura específica sobre o tema, como uma questão de domínio de habilidades culinárias e de capacidade em superar obstáculos sociais, físicos e econômicos. Ainda não há, contudo, estudos que relacionem o papel do Estado a essa importante prática promotora de saúde em casa, que é o cozinhar saudável. Desse modo, este trabalho adotou como objetivos elaborar o conceito e desenvolver o modelo conceitual multinível de autonomia culinária (MCAC), a fim de relacionar o papel do Estado à prática da culinária saudável em casa. Trata-se de um estudo teórico-conceitual dividido em três fases: elaboração conceitual, consulta a painel de especialistas e validação de conteúdo do MCAC desenvolvido neste trabalho. Ampla revisão bibliográfica serviu de base teórica e conceitual, com destaque para a abordagem das capacidades humanas de Amartya Sen. No total, 28 especialistas opinaram em oficinas de escuta e em entrevistas. A autonomia culinária foi definida como a capacidade de pensar, decidir e agir para preparar refeições em casa, usando majoritariamente alimentos in natura ou minimamente processados, sob a influência das relações interpessoais, do meio ambiente, dos valores culturais, do acesso a oportunidades e da garantia de direitos. O MCAC possui seis níveis, que diferem entre si quanto ao grau de participação do agente. Além do MCAC, são apresentados dois quadros que fornecem exemplos de práticas do agente e de ações que podem ser desenvolvidas no âmbito de políticas públicas pelo Estado. Pioneiro na literatura mundial, o MCAC apresentado fornece as bases conceituais para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas e intervenções sobre o assunto, não apenas focando nas habilidades individuais, mas também no papel das políticas públicas.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess and identify factors linked to the accuracy of patients' food intake estimations through a self-monitoring instrument filled in by the patient. Methods This cross-sectional study approached adult hospital patients subjected to regular or therapeutic diets. The actual food intake percentage was obtained by the ratio between the actual food intake and the amount of food served x 100. Patients had to complete a food chart including 9 circles representing plates of food in percentages (increasing scale of 12.5%) to represent their food intake at lunch and/or dinner. The Bland-Altman method assessed the agreement between the actual and the estimated values. The associations between variables (age, sex, hospitalization day, diet prescription, amount of food served and actual food intake percentage) and the accuracy of the food intake estimation (adequate ±10%, overestimated and underestimated) were evaluated through univariate multinomial logistic regression. Results Ninety-six patients were evaluated (51.0% male; 44.0±15.8 years of age). The Bland-Altman analysis showed good agreement between the actual and the estimated food intake. The actual food intake percentage was the only variable associated with the accuracy of the food intake estimation. Conclusion Most patients (~70%) adequately estimated their food intake using the 9-point food chart tested. Furthermore, the only factor linked to the accuracy of the food intake estimation was the actual food-intake percentage. These findings provide preliminary support for the usefulness of this instrument. However, it must be tested in a representative sample of hospitalized patients.
RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar e identificar fatores associados à acurácia da estimativa de ingestão alimentar por meio de um instrumento de monitoramento preenchido pelo próprio paciente. Métodos O presente estudo transversal incluiu adultos hospitalizados em uso de dietas regulares ou terapêuticas. A porcentagem real de ingestão alimentar foi obtida pela razão entre a ingestão alimentar real e a quantidade servida x100. Os pacientes preencheram um instrumento imagético incluindo nove círculos que representavam pratos de comida em porcentagens (escala crescente de 12,5%) da sua ingestão alimentar no almoço e/ou jantar. O método de Bland-Altman foi usado para avaliar a concordância entre os valores reais e estimados. Também foram avaliadas associações entre variáveis (idade, sexo, dia de hospitalização, prescrição dietética, quantidade de comida servida e porcentagem real de ingestão alimentar) e a acurácia da estimativa de ingestão alimentar (adequada ±10%, superestimada e subestimada) através de regressão logística multinomial univariada. Resultados Foram avaliados 96 pacientes (51% homens; 44.0±15.8 anos de idade). A análise de Bland-Altman mostrou boa concordância entre a ingestão alimentar real e estimada. A porcentagem real de ingestão alimentar foi a única variável associada à acurácia da estimativa de ingestão alimentar. Conclusão A maioria dos pacientes (~70%) estimaram adequadamente sua ingestão alimentar usando o instrumento imagético testado. Além disso, o único fator associado à acurácia da estimativa de ingestão alimentar foi a porcentagem real de ingestão alimentar. Esses achados fornecem suporte preliminar para a utilidade desse instrumento, porém, é necessário que seja testado em uma amostra representativa de pacientes hospitalizados.

Los eventos naturales afectan directamente la alimentación y nutrición de personas. Se presentan las experiencias en Venezuela en las emergencias y desastres naturales con intervención nutricional (1999-2021). Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, sobre la revisión de documentos impresos y electrónicos. Se describen los aspectos generales y la intervención nutricional. Se estableció un sistema logístico-nutricional de adquisición y manejo de alimentos con estrategia alimentaria, para lograr sobrevivencia, restauración, mantenimiento de la salud y moral. El plan logístico-nutricional tuvo 3 fases: distribución de alimentos (porcionamientos momentáneos, bolsas combo y cestas de emergencias, menú de emergencia), control de calidad de alimentos e inventarios, canalización del uso de alimentos donados, diseño y distribución de comidas calientes en campamentos de rescate y personal médico en operaciones asistenciales. Se efectuaron inspecciones nacionales, se impartió educación para la salud y recomendaciones nutricionales, se efectuaron encuestas alimentarias transversales con recordatorio de 24 horas y porcentaje de efectividad de ingesta. En Vargas se atendieron 70.000 damnificados en 360 centros nacionales, movimiento de alimentos 2.532 t. mensuales, en Guasdualito 19.621 damnificados y 709,72 t. (101 centros), Mérida 14.000 damnificados y 750 t. (90 centros). La atención fue satisfactoria según inspecciones y encuestas y se conoció más sobre la alimentación y nutrición suministrada. La educación nutricional y sanitaria y las recomendaciones fueron primordial, para proteger la salud, mantener prácticas y conductas saludables. Se suministró una alimentación adecuada en tiempo oportuno a la población damnificada en todos los eventos naturales (inundaciones, COVID-19)(AU)
Natural events directly affect people's diet and nutrition. The lived experiences of emergencies and natural disasters with nutritional intervention (1999-2021) were presented as input and guidance. This is a descriptive study of printed and electronic documents were reviewed and synthesized. General aspects and the nutritional intervention are described. A logistic-nutritional system of food acquisition and handling was established with a food strategy, to achieve survival, restoration, health maintenance and morale. The logistic-nutritional plan had 3 phases: food distribution (momentary portions, combo bags and emergency baskets, emergency menu), quality control of food and inventories, channeling of the use of donated food, design and distribution of hot meals in rescue camps and medical personnel in assistance operations. National inspections were carried out, health education and nutritional recommendations were provided, cross-sectional food surveys were carried out with a 24-hour reminder and percentage of intake effectiveness. Vargas was attended: 70,000 victims in 360 national centers, food movement 2,532 t. monthly, Guasdualito: 19,621 victims and 709.72 t. (101 centers), Mérida: 14,000 victims and 750 t. (90 centers). The care was satisfactory according to inspections and surveys, knowing more about food and nutrition supplied. Nutritional and health education as the recommendations were paramount, to protect health, maintain healthy practices and behaviors. Adequate food was provided in a timely manner to the population affected in all natural events (floods, COVID-19)(AU)

Se presentan los hallazgos de un estudio cualitativo, realizado en el departamento de Antioquia, Colombia, cuyo objetivo fue reconocer las estrategias de afrontamiento a las cuales recurren hogares en situaciones críticas de acceso a los alimentos. Desde la perspectiva de la etnografía focalizada, se recolectó información en nueve municipios, mediante entrevistas individuales y grupales a hombres y mujeres adolescentes, adultos y adultos mayores de zonas urbanas y rurales, con diferentes roles sociales, también se realizaron observaciones en lugares relacionados con alimentación. Se encontró que las situaciones críticas de acceso a los alimentos se relacionan con dinámicas económicas, ambientales y sociales que se viven en los municipios y afectan la disponibilidad local y el acceso físico y económico de las familias. La escasez de alimentos puede ser transitoria o crónica y las estrategias de afrontamiento instauradas pueden situarse en el nivel del hogar, como la restricción en la compra de ciertos alimentos o el reemplazo de preparaciones, o pueden ser del ámbito social, como el intercambio de alimentos, las prácticas solidarias con vecinos y familiares o el acceso a programas institucionales. Las familias que cuentan con redes de apoyo o producen alimentos enfrentan mejor esos momentos de difícil acceso. En conclusión, el acceso a los alimentos va más allá de la esfera doméstica, se instaura en el nivel social y político; por consiguiente, se requieren acciones estatales en diversos ámbitos que contribuyan a la equidad y promuevan sistemas alimentarios más sostenibles.
The article presents the findings from a qualitative study in the department of Antioquia, Colombia, whose objective was to identify the strategies employed by households during situations involving critical access to food. Based on the perspective of targeted ethnography, information was collected in nine municipalities using individual and group interviews with male and female adolescents, adults, and elders in urban and rural areas, with different social roles, besides observations in places related to food. The critical situations for access to food were related to economic, environmental, and social aspects in the municipalities and that affected local availability and accessibility and affordability for families. Food shortages can be temporary or chronic, and the strategies for dealing with them may be situated at the household level, such as limitations on the purchase of certain foods or substitution of certain meals. They may also occur at the social level, such as bartering different foods, solidarity among neighbors and family members, or access to institutional programs. Families that can count on support networks or that produce their own food deal better with such times of difficult access. In conclusion, access to foods goes beyond the household sphere and reaches the social and political levels, thus requiring State actions at various levels to contribute to equity and promote more sustainable food systems.
São apresentados os resultados de um estudo qualitativo realizado no Departamento de Antióquia, Colômbia, que tinha como objetivo identificar as estratégias de enfrentamento implementadas pelas famílias em situação crítica de acesso à alimentação. Partindo da perspectiva da etnografia focalizada, dados foram coletados em nove municípios, por meio de entrevistas individuais e de grupo, junto a homens e mulheres adolescentes, adultos e idosos das zonas urbanas e rurais, com diferentes papéis sociais; também foram realizadas observações em lugares relacionados com a alimentação. Identificou-se que as situações críticas de acesso aos alimentos estão relacionadas com as dinâmicas econômicas, ambientais e sociais vivenciadas nos municípios e que afetam a disponibilidade local e o acesso físico e econômico das famílias. A escassez de alimentos pode ser transitória ou crônica e as estratégias de enfrentamento desenvolvidas podem se situar no âmbito da família, como a restrição na compra de determinados alimentos ou a substituição de certas comidas, ou no âmbito social, como a troca de alimentos, as práticas solidárias com vizinhos e familiares ou o acesso a programas institucionais. As famílias que contam com redes de apoio ou que produzem alimentos enfrentam melhor esses momentos de difícil acesso. Em conclusão, o acesso à alimentação vai além da esfera doméstica, instaura-se no nível social e político; com isso são necessárias ações do poder público, em diversos âmbitos, que contribuam para a equidade e promovam sistemas alimentares mais sustentáveis.

Resumo Objetivou-se estudar a associação entre padrão alimentar, fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos e o ambiente alimentar em uma população de adultos e idosos de uma cidade do Sul do Brasil. Estudo transversal com pessoas de ambos os sexos e idade entre 20 e 70 anos. Os padrões alimentares foram identificados por meio da análise de componentes principais. A regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para estimar as razões de prevalência brutas e ajustadas e os intervalos de 95% de confiança (IC 95%). Quatro padrões alimentares foram identificados: saudável, tradicional, carboidratos e açúcares refinados e fast food. Encontraram-se associações positivas entre: sexo feminino e maior renda com o padrão alimentar saudável; cor da pele preta ou parda e domicílios com seis ou mais moradores com padrões alimentares tradicional e carboidratos e açúcares refinados; maior escolaridade com o padrão fast food. Realizar as principais refeições em casa associou-se ao padrão tradicional, e almoço ou jantar fora do domicílio com os padrões carboidratos e açúcares refinados e fast food. Posição socioeconômica mais baixa leva ao maior consumo do padrão alimentar tradicional e/ou rico em carboidratos e açúcares, e uma posição socioeconômica mais elevada parece permitir uma escolha entre padrão saudável ou fast food.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dietary patterns and demographic and socioeconomic factors and the food environment among adults and older persons in a city in the south of Brazil. We conducted a cross-sectional study with people of both sexes aged between 20 and 70 years. Dietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis. Poisson regression was used to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Four dietary patterns were identified: Healthy; Traditional; Refined Carbs and Sugars; and Fast Food. Positive associations were found between being female and higher income and the Healthy dietary pattern; being black or brown and living in a household with at least six members and the Traditional and Refined Carbs and Sugars patterns; and higher education and the fast-food dietary pattern. Having main meals at home was associated with the Traditional pattern and having lunch or dinner away from home was the associated with Refined Carbs and Sugars and fast-food patterns. Lower socioeconomic status leads to higher consumption of the Traditional and/or Refined Carbs and Sugars dietary patterns, while higher socioeconomic status appears to enable individuals to choose between healthy or fast-food patterns.

The objective this study was to determine mean values of masseter muscle thickness in male and female, at rest and contraction, in healthy individuals. At first, 102 questionnaires were distributed between students. Thirty patients were selected, 15 male and 15 female, according to the inclusion criteria, excluding all individuals with symptoms of temporo-mandibular dysfunction or syndromes with craniofacial disorders. Masseter muscle thickness was determined bilaterally, at rest and contraction. As a reference point for the measurement of thickness (axial plane), the posterior prolon gation of the labial commissure was used. Normality values of the masseter muscle in females were 11.75 ± 1,14 mm in contraction and 10.19 ± 1.04 mm in relaxation; and in the male were 13.95 ± 1.62 mm in contraction and 11.64 mm ± 1.68 mm in relaxation. The results obtained are in agreement with those described in the literature. Demonstrating the accuracy and reproductibility of the ultrasound if a protocol is applied, mainly aimed at controlling the pressure applied by the transducer.
El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los valores medios del grosor del músculo masetero, en reposo y contracción, en hombres y mujeres sanos. Inicialmente se distribuyeron 102 cuestionarios entre los estudiantes. Se seleccionaron 30 pacientes, 15 hombres y 15 mujeres, según los criterios de inclusión, excluyendo a todos los individuos con síntomas de disfunción temporo-mandibular o síndromes con alteraciones craneofaciales. El grosor del músculo masetero se determinó de forma bilateral, en reposo y contracción. Como punto de referencia para la medición del espesor (plano axial), la prolongación posterior de la comisura labial. Los valores de normalidad del músculo masetero en las mujeres fue de 11,75 ± 1,14 mm en contracción y 10,19 ± 1,04 mm en relajación; y en los varones 13,95 ± 1,62 mm en contracción y 11,64 mm ± 1,68 mm en relajación. Los resultados obtenidos coinciden con los descritos en la literatura, señalando la precisión y reproducibilidad del ultrasonido si se aplica un protocolo, principalmente dirigido a controlar la presión aplicada por el transductor.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the association of dietary patterns, number of daily meals and anthropometric measures among women in age of menopause. Subjects and methods: This was a transversal study with 320 women over 50 years old from Caxias do Sul, Brazil. The outcomes were body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Multiple linear regression was performed. Results: Three dietary patterns: regional, fruits and vegetables, and common Brazilian was identified by Principal Component Analysis. After adjustment, higher adoption of the regional dietary pattern was associated with increased BMI (β = 0.56 [CI95% = 0.03-1.08], p = 0.037) and WC (β = 1.28 [CI95% = 0.17-2,55], p = 0.047). The highest number of meals per day (>=5/day) was associated with reduced BMI (β = -1.18 [CI95% = -2.30 to -0.05], p = 0.041) and WC (β = -2.77 [CI95% = -5.41 to -0.13], p = 0.039), and a mid-afternoon snack BMI (β = -2.16 [CI95% = -3.66 to -0.65], p = 0.005) and WC (β = -5.76 [CI95% = -9.29 to -2.23], p = 0,001). The regional dietary pattern was inversely associated with have five or more meals per day (β = -0.51 [CI95% = -0.84 to -0.18], p = 0.002) and have a mid-afternoon snack (β = -0.63 [CI95% = -1.07 to -0.18], p = 0.006). The fruit and vegetables dietary pattern was positively associated with have five or more meals per day (β = 0.35 [CI95% = 0.02-0.69], p = 0.034). Conclusion: The regional dietary pattern has resulted in higher BMI and WC measures and contributes to decreased meals per day, behavior associated with higher anthropometric measures.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi descrever a frequência e tipos de refeições realizadas por idosos de Pelotas-RS e fatores associados à frequência adequada de refeições. Foi realizado estudo transversal com indivíduos ≥60 anos. Questionou-se sobre as refeições diárias na semana anterior à entrevista. A adequação de refeições foi definida conforme recomendação do Ministério da Saúde (pelo menos três refeições principais e dois lanches por dia). As variáveis independentes foram as características sociodemográficas, de saúde e da rotina alimentar. Razões de prevalência e intervalos de confiança de 95% foram calculados por regressão de Poisson. Dos 1.438 idosos entrevistados, cerca de 40% afirmaram realizar quatro refeições diárias. O almoço foi a refeição mais relatada, seguido do café da manhã. Apresentaram frequên cia adequada de refeições 30,6% dos homens e 38,6% das mulheres (p=0,002). Homens com edentulismo (perda dentária total) tiveram 35% maior probabilidade de adequação, enquanto essa probabilidade foi cerca de 30% menor em mulheres de cor da pele não branca, não escolarizadas e que declararam falta de dinheiro para a compra de alimentos. Um a cada três idosos atendeu a recomendação da frequência adequada de refeições e algumas características sociodemográficas foram negativamente associadas com esse hábito.
Abstract The scope of this study was to describe the frequency and types of meals consumed by the elderly in Pelotas (Brazil) and factors associated with the adequacy of meal frequency. A cross-sectional study was carried out with ≥60 years of age individuals. They were asked about daily meals during the week prior to the interview. The adequacy of meals was defined as recommended by the Ministry of Health (at least three main meals and two small snacks per day). The independent variables were sociodemographic, health and food routine characteristics. Prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Poisson regression. Of the 1,438 elderly individuals interviewed, about 40% reported consuming four meals a day. Lunch was the most reported meal, followed by breakfast. A total of 30.6% of men and 38.6% of women had adequate frequency of meals (p=0.002). Men with edentulism (total tooth loss) were 35% more likely to eat adequately, while this probability was about 30% lower among non-white women, those without schooling and those who reported a lack of money to buy food. One in each three elderly people met the recommendation of adequate frequency of meals and some sociodemographic characteristics were negatively associated with this habit.

Abstract This article aims to evaluate the quality of Brazilian school meal menus. Cross-sectional study that analyzed 2,500 menus of 500 Brazilian municipalities. The menus were evaluated based on the Quality Index for School Meal Menus (IQCAE - Indicador de Qualidade para Cardápios da Alimentação Escolar). The data were submitted to descriptive analysis. We found that 29,4% of menus presented high quality; 50,6%, regular quality; and 20%, low quality. Grains and tubers (86%) and Meat and eggs (67%) were the groups most found in menus, followed by Legumes (42,16%), Vegetables (40%), Fruits (35,56%), and Dairy products (18,6%); the frequency of Cured meats and sausages (8,68%) and Sweets as meals (3,64%) was lower. Among other components, 84,6% of the menus offered Sweets as dessert in none or one day a week; ultra-processed foods appear in 65,6% of menus at least once a week. In 22% of the menus, meal time was compatible with type meal served. Important food for child nutrition, such as dairy, vegetables, and fruits, are not regularly provided by school meals. Despite the advances in policy management, the presence of ultra-processed foods at least once a week is still frequent in the menus.
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a qualidade de cardápios escolares brasileiros. Estudo transversal analisou 2.500 cardápios, de 500 municípios brasileiros, com base no Indicador de Qualidade para Cardápios da Alimentação Escolar. Os dados foram submetidos à análise descritiva. Observou-se que 29,4% dos cardápios apresentaram alta qualidade, 50,6% qualidade regular e 20% baixa qualidade. Cereais e tubérculos (86%) e carnes e ovos (67%) foram os grupos de maior frequência nos cardápios, seguidos de leguminosas (42,16%), hortaliças (40%), frutas (35,56%) e laticínios (18,6%); a frequência da oferta de alimentos embutidos (8,68%) e doces como refeições (3,64%) foi menor. Entre os demais componentes, 84,6% dos cardápios ofertavam doces como sobremesa em nenhum ou em apenas um dia da semana; os formulados aparecem em 65,6% dos cardápios pelo menos uma vez por semana. Em 22% dos cardápios o horário estava compatível com o tipo de refeição servida. Alimentos importantes para a nutrição infantil, como laticínios, hortaliças e frutas, não são oferecidos regulamente na alimentação escolar. A despeito dos avanços observados na gestão da política, a presença de formulados pelo menos uma vez por semana ainda é frequente nos cardápios.

BACKGROUND@#Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for progression to an end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. We investigated the association of lifestyle behaviors with the initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) among CKD patients using an employment-based health insurance claims database linked with specific health checkup (SHC) data.@*METHODS@#This retrospective cohort study included 149,620 CKD patients aged 40-74 years who underwent a SHC between April 2008 and March 2016. CKD patients were identified using ICD-10 diagnostic codes and SHC results. We investigated lifestyle behaviors recorded at SHC. Initiation of RRT was defined by medical procedure claims. Lifestyle behaviors related to the initiation of RRT were identified using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with recency-weighted cumulative exposure as a time-dependent covariate.@*RESULTS@#During 384,042 patient-years of follow-up by the end of March 2016, 295 dialysis and no kidney transplantation cases were identified. Current smoking (hazard ratio: 1.87, 95% confidence interval, 1.04─3.36), skipping breakfast (4.80, 1.98─11.62), and taking sufficient rest along with sleep (2.09, 1.14─3.85) were associated with the initiation of RRT.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Among CKD patients, the lifestyle behaviors of smoking, skipping breakfast, and sufficient rest along with sleep were independently associated with the initiation of RRT. Our study strengthens the importance of monitoring lifestyle behaviors to delay the progression of mild CKD to RRT in the Japanese working generation. A substantial portion of subjects had missing data for eGFR and drinking frequency, warranting verification of these results in prospective studies.
