ABSTRACT

Introduction: Obesity and physical inactivity in adolescents are associated with some diseases, and poor academic performance. Studies have reported differences in the level of physical activity according to the type of school. Objective: To compare the prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity in adolescents in a public and a private school. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents attending a public school and a private school. Ninth, tenth, and eleventh-grade students between 14 and 17 years were included. Physical activity level was assessed using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents, and nutritional status using body mass index for age. Results: Information was collected from 343 students, of whom 55.10% (n=189) were from a public school. The 28.28% were overweight. The overall level of physical activity in adolescents was low (mean= 1.97 95% CI 1.92 ­ 2.01). It was found that public school students were more inactive adjusted (PR= 1.40; 95% CI 1.03 - 1.92) compared to private school students. Discussion: Adolescents do not achieve optimal levels of frequency and duration of physical activity, highlighting the need for educational programs and attractive interventions to promote physical activity. Conclusion: Adolescent students have low levels of physical activity, with more inactive students in the public school compared to the private school. The prevalence of overweight was high in both schools.

Introducción: La obesidad y la inactividad física en adolescentes se asocia con múltiples enfermedades y bajo rendimiento escolar. Algunos estudios han reportado diferencias en nivel de actividad física, práctica deportiva o de clases de educación física según la naturaleza de la institución educativa. Objetivo: Comparar la prevalencia de obesidad e inactividad física en adolescentes de una institución educativa pública y una privada. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en adolescentes escolarizados en una institución educativa pública y una privada. Se incluyeron estudiantes de grado noveno, décimo y once de edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 17. Se evaluó el nivel de actividad física mediante el instrumento Physical Activity Questionnaire para adolescentes, y el estado nutricional mediante el índice de masa corporal para la edad. Resultados: Se recolectó información de 343 estudiantes, donde el 55,10% (n= 189) fueron estudiantes de una institución educativa pública. El 28,28% presentaron exceso de peso. El nivel global de actividad física en los adolescentes fue bajo (media= 1,97 IC95% 1,92 ­ 2,01). Se identificó que los estudiantes de la institución educativa pública son más inactivos (RP = 1,40; IC95% 1,03 - 1,92) comparado con los de la institución privada. Discusión: Los adolescentes no alcanzan niveles óptimos de frecuencia y duración de la actividad física, por lo que se demuestra la necesidad de diseñar programas educativos e intervenciones atractivas para promover la actividad física. Conclusión: Los estudiantes adolescentes presentan un bajo nivel de actividad física, siendo más inactivos los estudiantes de la institución educativa pública, en comparación con la privada. La prevalencia de exceso de peso fue alta en ambas instituciones educativas.

Introdução: A obesidade e a inatividade física em adolescentes estão associadas a múltiplas doenças e ao mau desempenho escolar. Alguns estudos relataram diferenças no nível de atividade física, prática esportiva ou aulas de educação física dependendo da natureza da instituição de ensino. Objetivo: Comparar a prevalência de obesidade e inatividade física em adolescentes de uma instituição de ensino pública e privada. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal entre adolescentes matriculados em uma instituição de ensino pública e privada. Foram incluídos alunos do nono, décimo e décimo primeiro ano entre 14 e 17 anos.

Resultados: Foram coletadas informações de 343 alunos, sendo 55,10% (n= 189) alunos de uma instituição pública de ensino. 28,28% estavam acima do peso. O nível global de atividade física dos adolescentes foi baixo (média = 1,97 IC 95% 1,92 ­ 2,01). Identificou-se que os alunos da instituição de ensino pública são mais inativos fisicamente (RP = 1,40; IC95% 1,03 - 1,92) em comparação aos da privada. Discussão: Os adolescentes não atingem níveis ótimos de frequência e duração da atividade física, evidenciando a necessidade de programas educacionais e intervenções atrativas para promover a atividade física. Conclusão: Os estudantes adolescentes apresentam baixo nível de atividade física, sendo os estudantes de instituições de ensino públicas mais inativos em comparação aos privados. A prevalência de excesso de peso foi elevada em ambas as instituições de ensino.

ABSTRACT

La obesidad en la adolescencia se encuentra vinculada con los entornos obesogénicos en los que los adolescentes crecen y se desarrollan. La reformulación de alimentos, con miras a cumplir con los lineamientos de la Ley 27642, se posiciona como una estrategia clave para abordar esta problemática y promover hábitos alimentarios más saludables en la mencionada población. El objetivo del trabajo fue realizar un análisis sensorial y evaluar el grado de aceptabilidad de una galletita salada que cumple con un perfil nutricional sin octógonos negros en población adolescente. Materiales y métodos: se realizaron una prueba sensorial descriptiva en panel semientrenado (n=6) y una afectiva en adolescentes (n=111) de las escuelas Domingo Faustino Sarmiento N° 200 y EESO N° 373 de Coronel Arnold. Los atributos evaluados fueron apariencia, aroma, textura, sabor salado, consistencia y aceptabilidad global, mediante una escala gráfica. Resultados: en la prueba descriptiva, sólo el aroma (p=0,04) y sabor salado (p=0,036) de la galletita reformulada mostraron diferencias significativas respecto a la galletita control. La apariencia, textura, consistencia y aceptabilidad global obtuvieron una puntuación mayor a 6, mientras que el aroma y sabor salado no alcanzaron el punto medio de la escala. En la prueba afectiva, la apariencia (p=0,023), sabor salado (p=0,018) y consistencia (p=0,018) tuvieron una puntuación significativamente menor respecto a la galletita control. No obstante, todos los atributos obtuvieron un puntaje mayor a 6 indicando una buena aceptabilidad por parte de los adolescentes. Conclusiones: la mayoría de los participantes manifestaron una alta aceptabilidad de la muestra reformulada. Si bien la reformulación de alimentos de forma aislada no supone una solución integral al problema de malnutrición, puede representar un punto de partida para la promoción de hábitos alimentarios más saludables en la población adolescente

Obesity in adolescence is linked to the obesogenic environments where adolescents grow and develop. Food reformulation, to comply with Law 27,642, is positioned as a key strategy to address this problem and promote healthier eating habits in the aforementioned population. The work aimed to carry out a sensory analysis and evaluate the acceptability of a salty cookie that meets a nutritional profile without black octagons in the adolescent population. Materials and methods: a descriptive sensory test was carried out on a semi-trained panel (n=6) and an affective test on adolescents (n=111) from the Domingo Faustino Sarmiento N° 200 and EESO N° 373 schools of Coronel Arnold. The attributes evaluated were appearance, smell, texture, saltiness, chewiness, and overall acceptability, using a graphic scale. Results: in the descriptive test, only the smell (p=0.04) and saltiness (p=0.036) of the reformulated cookie showed significant differences compared to the control cookie. Appearance, texture, chewiness, and overall acceptability obtained a score greater than 6, while smell and saltiness did not reach the midpoint of the scale. In the affective test, appearance (p=0.023), saltiness (p=0.018), and chewiness (p=0.018) had a significantly lower score compared to the control cookie. However, all attributes tained a score greater than 6, indicating good 0acceptability by adolescents. Conclusions: the majority of participants expressed high acceptability of the reformulated sample. Although food reformulation in isolation does not represent a comprehensive solution to the problem of malnutrition, it can represent a starting point for promoting healthier eating habits in the adolescent population

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Existe escaso conocimiento sobre la asociación entre marcadores cardiometabólicos en preescolares con características nutricionales y sociodemográficos familiares. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre marcadores cardiometabólicos de preescolares y sus padres con las características nutricionales y sociodemográficas familiares. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal, de asociación y correlación entre variables Padre-Hijo/a de carácter multicéntrico, en el cual participaron 140 sujetos (70 preescolares y su respectivo padre o madre). Las variables fueron estado nutricional, composición corporal, fuerza prensil y presión arterial de padres/madres y sus hijos/as preescolares y variables sociodemográficas de las familias. Resultados: Existió diferencia significativa al 5% respecto de la obesidad de los padres con la de los hijos/as, se presentó correlación positiva (0,397) entre las variables "porcentaje de grasa" padres e hijos/as. En relación al "nivel de escolaridad de la madre" hubo diferencia significativa con el "porcentaje de grasa" de los hijos/as (p<0,011). Existió similarmente diferencia significativa (p=0,033) entre la variable "tener hermanos" respecto a la variable "porcentaje de grasa" de los hijos/as. Finalmente se presentó asociación entre "usa Tablet" (dispositivo audiovisual) y "presión arterial" de los hijos/as (p=0,030). La variable "usa Tablet" se asoció significativamente con la "fuerza prensil" de los hijos/as (p=0,044). Conclusiones: Padres obesos con alto porcentaje de grasa tienen hijos/as preescolares con bajo perfil cardiometabólico; las variables nivel educacional inferior de la madre y tener hermanos se asociaron a un mayor porcentaje de grasa en los hijos/as, conjuntamente el uso de Tablet en preescolares mostró mayores niveles de presión arterial y menor fuerza prensil(AU)

Introduction: Little is known about the association between cardiometabolic markers in preschoolers with family nutritional and socio- demographic characteristics. Objective: To determine the association between cardiometabolic markers in preschoolers and their parents with family nutritional and sociodemographic characteristics. Materials and methods: cross-sectional study of association and correlation between parent-child variables, multicenter, 140 subjects participated (70 preschoolers and their respective parents). The variables were nutritional status, body composition, prehensile strength and blood pressure of parents and their preschool children and sociodemographic variables of the families. Results: There was a significant difference at 5% between parents' obesity and children's obesity, with a positive correlation (0.397) between the variable "percentage of fat" parents/children. In relation to the "mother's level of schooling" there was a significant difference with the "percentage of fat" of the children (p<0.011). Similarly, there was a significant difference (p=0.033) between the variable "Having siblings" with respect to the variable "percentage of fat" of the children. Finally, there was an association between "Tablet use" (audiovisual device) and "blood pressure" of the children (p=0.030). The variable "Tablet use" was significantly associated with the "prehensile strength" of the children (p=0.044). Conclusions: Obese parents with a high percentage of fat have preschool children with a low cardiometabolic profile; the variables lower educational level of the mother and having siblings were associated with a higher percentage of fatness in children; together, the use of Tablet in preschoolers showed higher levels of blood pressure and lower prehensile strength(AU)

Most women were not diagnosed with anemia, but there was no difference between rural (29.8%) and urban (28.3%) areas. Regarding indication and adherence to treatment for anemia, this was significantly higher in urban couples, at 96.7% and 65.5%, respectively. Conclusion: In urban areas, the percentage of women of anemia ruling out, as well as treatment indication and compliance was higher. The diagnosis of anemia showed no differences between the two areas(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar si es posible predecir la valoración del recién nacido según el estado nutricional materno a través de un modelo de árbol de decisión. Métodos: Estudio analítico transversal. Se revisaron 326 historias clínicas de gestantes de un hospital público peruano, 2021. Se valoró el recién nacido mediante el puntaje APGAR, edad gestacional al nacer, peso al nacer, peso y talla para la edad gestacional. El estado nutricional materno incluyó el índice de masa corporal pregestacional y la ganancia de peso gestacional. La predicción se realizó mediante un modelo de aprendizaje automático supervisado denominado "árbol de decisión". Resultados: No fue posible predecir mediante el estado nutricional materno, el puntaje APGAR al minuto y la talla para la edad gestacional. La probabilidad de tener edad gestacional a término al nacer es de 97,2 % cuando la ganancia de peso gestacional es > 5,4 Kg (p = 0,007). Las probabilidades más altas de peso adecuado al nacer fueron con ganancia de peso gestacional entre 4,5 Kg (p < 0,001) y 17 Kg (p < 0,001) y con índice de masa corporal pregestacional ≤ 36,523 Kg/m2 (p = 0,004). Finalmente, la mayor probabilidad de peso adecuado para la edad gestacional es cuando la ganancia de peso gestacional es ≤ 11,8 Kg (p < 0,001) y con un índice de masa corporal pregestacional ≤ 36,523 Kg/m2 (p = 0,005). Conclusiones: Es posible predecir la valoración del recién nacido a partir del estado nutricional materno mediante un aprendizaje automático(AU)

Objective: To determine whether it is possible to predict the assessment of the newborn according to maternal nutritional status through a decision tree model. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study. A total of 326 medical records of pregnant women from a Peruvian public hospital were reviewed, in 2021. The newborn was assessed using the APGAR score, gestational age at birth, birth weight, weight and height for gestational age. Maternal nutritional status included pregestational body mass index and gestational weight gain. The prediction was made using a supervised machine learning model called a "decision tree." Results: The APGAR score at one minute and height for gestational age were not possible to predict by maternal nutritional status. The probability of having full-term gestational age at birth is 97.2% when gestational weight gain is > 5.4 kg (p = 0.007). The highest probabilities of adequate birth weight were with gestational weight gain between 4.5 kg (p < 0.001) and 17 kg (p < 0.001) and with pregestational body mass index ≤ 36.523 kg/m2 (p = 0.004). Finally, the highest probability of adequate weight for gestational age is when gestational weight gain is < 11.8 Kg (p < 0.001) and with a pregestational body mass index ≤ 36.523 Kg/m2 (p = 0.005). Conclusions: It is possible to predict the assessment of the newborn based on the mother's nutritional status using machine learning(AU)

ABSTRACT

Low- middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing challenges for reaching outstanding performance on indicators related to wellbeing during the first 1000 days of life, therefore it is expected to observe difficulties for improving their Human Capital Index (HCI). These come from the impact of inadequate antenatal care, maternal short stature, inadequate breastfeeding, prematurity, low birthweight, small for gestational age newborns, and pregnancy in adolescent years on human capital from the first thousand days of life to long term on life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to implement a non-systematic review of the existing literature between February 2000 and October 2022 using MeSH terms related to each factor. Results: in LMICs antenatal care does not meet the required goals. High rate of adolescent pregnancies, and lower maternal stature are being reported; 6.5 million newborns in LMICs are small for gestational age, 50% LBW newborns are preterm. Exclusive breastfeeding is low in LMICs: 28-70%. Survival, schooling, and health are strongly associated with growth and adult height showing the impact of the disadvantages experienced in early life over HC. We can conclude: the determinants of good health in the first 1000 days of life do not meet the goals needed to improve growth and health during this critical period of life in LMICs, leading to important obstacles for achieving adequate health conditions and reaching an optimal HCI(AU)

Los países con bajo y medianos ingresos (PBMIs) enfrentan el reto de disminuir las brechas para alcanzar las metas en los indicadores de bienestar durante los primeros 1000 días de vida, de lo contrario presentarán dificultades para mejorar los Índices de Capital Humano (ICH). El objetivo fue realizar una revisión no sistemática de la literatura reciente para abordar los problemas, brechas y omisiones dentro de los primeros 1000 días en los países PBMIs. Se utilizaron los términos MeSH relacionados con los factores de riesgo de impacto más prevalentes a corto y largo plazo: capital humano, atención prenatal inadecuada, talla baja materna, lactancia materna inadecuada, prematuridad, bajo peso al nacer, talla pequeña para la edad gestacional, embarazo adolescente para realizar una revisión descriptiva sobre el impacto de estos factores, entre febrero 2000-octubre 2022. Resultados: en PBMIs la consulta prenatal no llega a la meta sugerida y hay tasas altas de adolescentes embarazadas y baja estatura materna. 6,5 millones de recién nacidos en PBMIs con peso para la edad gestacional; 50% recién nacidos bajos para la edad gestacional son pretérminos. La lactancia materna exclusiva es baja en PBMIs: 28-70%. La supervivencia, escolaridad y salud tienen una fuerte asociación con la estatura y desarrollo del adulto, demostrando el impacto de las desventajas sobre el Capital Humano. Conclusión: los determinantes de la buena salud durante los primeros 1000 días de vida en los países PBMIs no alcanzan las metas necesarias para mejorar el crecimiento y la salud, convirtiéndose en obstáculos para alcanzar óptimos ICH(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Early childhood caries is still very prevalent, mainly in developing countries, and it is related to the quality of life of children due to early tooth loss. Objective: The study objective was to determine the association between dental caries and its clinical consequences on nutritional status in children of the "Vaso de Leche (Glass of Milk)'' social program, in Puno City, Peru, during the year 2020. Materials and Methods: An observational, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study; the sample consisted of 740 children between 1 and 5 years old who met the selection criteria; the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries were evaluated using the PUFA index and the prevalence of caries with def-t; the nutritional status was determined by the weight and height of the child according to protocols (NTS No. 357 - MINSA /2017/ DGIESP); the data were analyzed with the SPSS-v25 program, the association between variables was evaluated with the chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's Rho test, considering significance at a p-value <0.05. Results: No significant relationship was found when dental caries was evaluated with the nutritional condition (p<0.05). However, when the def-t index values were related to the nutritional condition of the children, a significant difference was found (p<0.05). There was no significant difference with the PUFA index (p>0.05). Conclusions: There is no association between early childhood caries and nutritional status in children aged between 3 and 5 years; however, a significant relationship was found between the values of the def-t index and the nutritional status of the children.

Introducción: La caries infantil temprana sigue siendo muy prevalente, principalmente en los países en desarrollo, y está relacionada con la calidad de vida de los niños debido a la pérdida temprana de dientes Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la asociación entre la caries dental y sus consecuencias clínicas sobre el estado nutricional en niños del programa social "Vaso de Leche", en la ciudad de Puno, Perú, durante el año 2020. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional, estudio descriptivo-correlacional, transversal; la muestra estuvo conformada por 740 niños entre 1 y 5 años que cumplieron con los criterios de selección, se evaluaron las consecuencias clínicas de la caries dental no tratada mediante el índice PUFA y la prevalencia de caries con d-t; el estado nutricional se determinó mediante el peso y talla del niño según protocolos (NTS N°357 MINSA/2017/DGIESP; los datos se analizaron con el programa SPSS-v25, la asociación entre variables se evaluó con el chi); -cuadrado, U de Mann-Whitney y Rho de Spearman, considerando significancia a un valor de p<0,05. Resultado: No se encontró relación significativa cuando se evaluó la caries dental con la condición nutricional (p<0,05). Sin embargo, cuando los valores del índice d-t se relacionaron con la condición nutricional de los niños, se encontró una diferencia significativa (p<0,05). No hubo diferencia significativa con el índice PUFA (p>0,05). Conclusión: No existe asociación entre caries de la primera infancia y el estado nutricional en niños de 3 a 5 años; sin embargo, se encontró una relación significativa entre los valores del índice d-t y el estado nutricional de los niños.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La bioimpedancia eléctrica, fundamentada en la resistencia de los tejidos biológicos a las corrientes eléctricas, ha emergido como una herramienta clave en la evaluación de la salud metabólica y nutricional en niños y adolescentes. En este contexto, el ángulo de fase, derivado de la bioimpedancia, se destaca como un indicador que proporciona información detallada sobre la integridad celular y la distribución del agua. OBJETIVO: Investigar la asociación del ángulo de fase con la salud celular en niños y adolescentes con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 1 (DM1). MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal que incluyó treinta niños y adolescentes con DM1 obesos DM1 y eutrófico. RESULTADOS: Los hallazgos revelaron asociaciones no significativas entre el ángulo de fase y cambios en la salud celular y la distribución del agua en pacientes con DM1. DISCUSIÓN: A pesar de la falta de asociaciones significativas, la identificación de diferencias en la composición corporal sugiere que la bioimpedancia eléctrica y el ángulo de fase podrían ser útiles para evaluar la DM1 en niños y adolescentes CONCLUSIÓN: A pesar de no encontrarse asociaciones significativas entre el ángulo de fase y cambios en la salud celular y la distribución del agua en niños y adolescentes con DM1 en este estudio, se observaron diferencias significativas en la masa magra y el porcentaje de grasa corporal entre los grupos de pacientes. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la bioimpedancia eléctrica y el ángulo de fase podrían ser herramientas útiles para evaluar la composición corporal en esta población. Se requieren investigaciones adicionales para confirmar estos resultados y explorar más a fondo el papel del ángulo de fase en la evaluación de la DM1 en niños y adolescentes.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Bioelectrical impedance, based on the resistance of biological tissues to electrical currents, has emerged as a key tool in assessing metabolic and nutritional health in children and adolescents. In this context, phase angle, derived from bioimpedance, stands out as an indicator that provides detailed information on cellular integrity and water distribution. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of phase angle with cellular health in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study that included thirty children and adolescents with obese and eutrophic T1DM. RESULTS: The findings revealed non-significant associations between phase angle and changes in cellular health and water distribution in T1DM patients. DISCUSSION: Despite the lack of significant associations, the identification of differences in body composition suggests that bioelectrical impedance and phase angle could be useful for evaluating T1DM in children and adolescents. CONCLUSION: Despite not finding significant associations between phase angle and changes in cellular health and water distribution in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in this study, significant differences were observed in lean mass and body fat percentage between patient groups. These findings suggest that bioelectrical impedance and phase angle could be useful tools for evaluating body composition in this population. Further research is needed to confirm these results and explore more deeply the role of phase angle in the evaluation of T1DM in children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar as possíveis implicações da COVID-19 nas condições nutricionais e de saúde de pessoas idosas institucionalizadas. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal realizado com residentes de uma instituição de longa permanência para pessoas idosas do interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Realizou-se análise bivariada para avaliar as variáveis bioquímicas e antropométricas antes e após a infecção por COVID-19. Resultados: Do total de 38 pessoas idosas institucionalizadas, 84,2% (n=32) foram contaminadas pela COVID-19, das quais 68,8% (n=22) eram do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 83,8 (DP+6,9) anos. Dentre os infectados, 12,5% (n=4) foram hospitalizados, 6,3% (n=2) necessitaram de ventilação mecânica e 18,7% (n=6) morreram. Dos indivíduos que foram à óbito 50,0% (n=3) estavam com baixo peso e 16,6% (n=1) com sobrepeso. Comparado ao período anterior à pandemia, as médias dos níveis de eritrócitos, glicose, triglicérides, vitamina D, sódio, potássio, aspartato aminotransferase e perímetro da panturrilha foram significativamente menores após a doença (p<0,05). Conclusão: Este estudo revela que as condições nutricionais e clínicas dos residentes apresentaram piora após a infecção, com destaque para a redução dos níveis de vitamina D e do perímetro da panturrilha, o que pode aumentar o risco de complicações como sarcopenia e fragilidade.(AU)

Objective:To evaluate the technical potential of COVID-19 in the nutritional and health conditions of institutionalized older adults. Methods:Retrospective study carried out with residents of a long-stay institution for the older adults in the interior of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Bivariate analysis was performed to assess biochemical and anthropometric variables before and after COVID-19 infection. Results:Of the total of 38 institutionalized older adults, 84.2% (n=32) were infected by COVID-19, of which 68.8% (n=22) were female, with a mean age of 83.8 (SD+6.9) years. Among those infected, 12.5% (n=4) were hospitalized, 6.3% (n=2) required mechanical ventilation and 18.7% (n=6) died. Of the individuals went to death, 50.0% (n=3) were underweight and 16.6% (n=1) were overweight. Compared to the pre-pandemicperiod, the mean levels of erythrocytes, glucose, triglycerides, vitamin D, sodium, potassium and calf circumferencewere significantly lower after the illness (p<0.05). Conclusion:This study reveals that the nutritional and clinical conditions of residents worsened after an infection, with emphasis on the reduction of vitamin D levels and the calf circumference, which may increase the risk of complications such as sarcopenia and frailty.(AU)

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: This article has two aims: (a) first aim was to determine what is the most applicable and the simplest alternative for recommended BMI categories for underweight, overweight and obesity related to IOTF references, from the practical standpoint; (b) second aim was to determine the prevalence of the nutritional status in Montenegro on this representative sample of school children aged 9-13 years and compare them with peers from relevant and similar studies from both the local region and globally. A total sample of 1478 healthy children from Montenegro participated in this study divided into two sub-samples of 732 girls and 746 boys. According to the IOTF body mass index (BMI) reference values were used through ROC curve analysis to evaluate potential alternatives for estimation of the nutritional status of this sample of children. Only WHtR did not show significant age-related differences in the case of both genders. Considering the nutritional status of children from this study it has been found that boys have a considerably higher prevalence of being overweight (22.7 % vs. 16.4 %) and obese (7.5 % vs. 3.3 %) compared to girls. On the other hand, girls were more prevalent to be underweight (10.5 % vs. 7.5 %). WHtR seems like the best alternative for the estimation of obesity and being overweight due to simplicity and the equipment needed.

Este artículo tiene dos objetivos: (a) el primero fue determinar cuál es la alternativa más aplicable y más sencilla para las categorías de IMC recomendadas para bajo peso, sobrepeso y obesidad relacionadas con las referencias de la IOTF, desde el punto de vista práctico; (b) el segundo objetivo fue determinar la prevalencia del estado nutricional en Montenegro en esta muestra representativa de escolares de 9 a 13 años y compararlos con pares de estudios relevantes y similares tanto de la región local como a nivel mundial. En el estudio participaron 1478 niños sanos de Montenegro divididos en dos submuestras de 732 niñas y 746 niños. De acuerdo con el índice de masa corporal (IMC) de la IOTF, se utilizaron valores de referencia mediante análisis de curvas ROC para evaluar posibles alternativas para la estimación del estado nutricional de esta muestra en niños. Sólo el ICT no mostró diferencias significativas relacionadas con la edad en el caso de ambos sexos. Teniendo en consideración el estado nutricional de los niños, se determinó que los éstos tenían una prevalencia considerablemente mayor de sobrepeso (22,7 % frente a 16,4 %) y obesidad (7,5 % frente a 3,3 %) en comparación con las niñas. Por otro lado, las niñas tenían más prevalencia de bajo peso (10,5 % frente a 7,5 %). El WHtR parece la mejor alternativa para la estimación de la obesidad y el sobrepeso por su sencillez y equipamiento necesario.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La desnutrición es una condición frecuente en pacientes oncológicos y puede estar presente en un 40-80% de éstos. En cirugía gastrointestinal, es ampliamente conocida la relación entre la desnutrición preoperatoria y las complicaciones. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la asociación entre el estado nutricional preoperatorio según el índice de masa corporal (IMC), la valoración global subjetiva (VGS) y la frecuencia de complicaciones postoperatorias en pacientes sometidos a cirugía oncodigestiva electiva. Metodología: Estudio observacional de cohorte retrospectiva. Se incluyeron pacientes sometidos a cirugía digestiva entre abril de 2019 y abril de 2020. Se excluyeron aquellos pacientes con enfermedad fuera de alcance terapéutico curativo. Los pacientes fueron categorizados según el tipo de cáncer, la cirugía realizada, el tratamiento neoadyuvante, los parámetros nutricionales (IMC y VGS) y la albumina preoperatoria. Se registraron las complicaciones postoperatorias de acuerdo con la clasificación de Clavien-Dindo (III-V). Resultados: Se incluyeron 201 pacientes sometidos a cirugía digestiva. El 83,6% calificó en la categoría B o C según VGS. Diecinueve pacientes (9,5%) presentaron complicaciones postoperatorias. Tener una VGS de categoría C se asoció con un mayor riesgo de complicaciones postoperatorias. Otras variables significativas para desarrollar complicaciones fueron recibir tratamiento neoadyuvante combinado (QT + RT) y ser intervenido por una cirugía de alto riesgo nutricional. Conclusión: Tener un estado nutricional deteriorado previo a una cirugía oncológica según VGS, someterse a una cirugía de alto riesgo nutricional y/o someterse a un tratamiento neoadyuvante combinado presentan un mayor riesgo de desarrollar complicaciones postoperatorias. Se destaca la importancia de incorporar protocolos de evaluación y soporte nutricional como parte del tratamiento multimodal impartido desde el diagnóstico oncológico.

Introduction: Malnutrition is a frequent condition in cancer patients and may be present in 40-80% of them. In gastrointestinal surgery, the relationship between preoperative malnutrition and complications has been widely studied, due to the increased risk of postoperative complications. The aim of this study is to determine the association between preoperative nutritional status, according to body mass index (BMI), subjective global assessment (SGA) and the frequency of postoperative complications in patients undergoing elective oncological digestive surgery. Methodology: Observational retrospective cohort study. Patients undergoing elective surgery between April 2019 and April 2020 were included. Patients with disease outside the curative therapeutic scope were excluded. Patients were categorized by type of cancer, surgery performed, neoadjuvant treatment, nutritional parameters (BMI and SGA) and albumin prior to surgery. Postoperative complications were recorded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (III-V). Results: A total of 201 patients undergoing digestive surgery were included. 83.6% qualified in category B or C according to VGS. Nineteen patients (9.5%) presented postoperative complications. Having a SGA category C is associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications. Other significant variables for developing complications were receiving combined neoadjuvant treatment (CT + RT) and undergoing high nutritional risk surgery. Conclusion: Having a deteriorated nutritional status prior to oncological surgery according to SGA, undergoing high nutritional risk surgery, and/or undergoing combined neoadjuvant treatment significantly increases the risk of developing postoperative complications. The importance of incorporating nutritional assessment and support protocols as part of the multimodal treatment given to the patient from the moment of cancer diagnosis stands out.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El estado nutricional, la composición corporal y los hábitos alimentarios son relevantes para la elegibilidad, entrenamiento y progresión de la carrera naval, por la influencia que tienen estos factores sobre la salud física, mental y rendimiento deportivo de los reclutas. Objetivo: Describir y evaluar el estado nutricional, la composición corporal y la conducta alimentaria de estudiantes de primer año de la Escuela de Grumetes "Alejandro Navarrete Cisterna" de Talcahuano. Métodos: Estudio no experimental de corte transversal a 781 grumetes. Se realizó evaluación antropométrica y de composición corporal por nutricionistas entrenadas, y se aplicó la Encuesta sobre Hábitos Alimentarios de autorreporte. Resultados: Edad 19,2 ± 1,47 años, 35,7% mujeres. Según el estado nutricional, se observó un mayor porcentaje de sobrepeso y obesidad en mujeres comparado con los hombres. El IMC se relacionó directamente con la composición corporal; las mujeres presentaron una media de IMC de sobrepeso con mayor porcentaje de grasa corporal y menor porcentaje de masa muscular. La conducta alimentaria se relacionó con estado nutricional significativamente, siendo los cumplimientos de: consumo de lácteos, consumo de legumbres, cena diariamente y no consumo de bebidas alcohólicas más altos en reclutas normopeso que en aquellos con sobrepeso y obesidad. Conclusión: Los grumetes presentaron mayor normopeso, menor obesidad y mejor conducta alimentaria que la población general, debido posiblemente a la preparación física y nutricional en el periodo inicial de la instrucción naval.

Introduction: Nutritional status, body composition and eating habits are relevant for eligibility, training, and naval career progression, due to the influence of these factors have on the physical and mental health and sports performance of recruits. Objective: To describe and evaluate the nutritional status, body composition and eating behavior of first-year students of the "Alejandro Navarrete Cisterna" Naval School in Talcahuano. Methods: Non-experimental cross-sectional study of 781 recruits. Anthropometric and body composition evaluation was carried out by trained nutritionists, and the self-report Eating Habits Survey was applied. Results: Age 19.2 ± 1.47 years, 35.7% women. According to nutritional status, a higher percentage of overweight and obesity was observed in women compared to men. BMI was related to body composition; women had a mean BMI of overweight with a higher percentage of body fat and a lower percentage of muscle mass. Eating behavior was significantly related to nutritional status, with compliance of: dairy consumption, legume consumption, daily dinner and non-consumption of alcoholic beverages being higher in normal weight recruits than in those with overweight and obesity. Conclusion: The naval recruits had a higher normal weight, less obesity and better eating behavior than the general population, possibly due to the physical and nutritional preparation in the initial period of naval training.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the association between diet quality, nutritional status, and sarcopenia in a sample of the oldest old. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, individuals aged ≥ 80 years were enrolled. To determine their energy and macronutrient intake, 24-hour dietary recall was used to calculate the Healthy Eating Index. Nutritional status was categorized based on Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scores. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using both the 2010 and 2018 EWGSOP criteria. Electrical bioimpedance was used to calculate the muscle mass index. Muscle strength was measured through handgrip dynamometry, and muscle performance was determined with a 4-m gait speed test. To test the association between the HEI with sarcopenia, means of HEI scores were compared between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic participants using indendent t-tests. Prevalence rate ratios were calculated using a Poisson Regression model with robust estimation of standard errors. Results: The study population consisted of 119 participants, predominantly women (n = 67; 56.3%), with a mean age of 83.4 (SD, 3.0) years. The prevalence of sarcopenia varied significantly according to the classification criteria, being higher according to EWGSOP 2010 than EWGSOP 2018 criteria (46.7 vs. 17.6%), as expected. Female participants and those categorized as malnourished presented higher prevalence of sarcopenia. Nutrition quality, estimated by the Healthy Eating Index, was not associated with the outcome. Reduced total energy and high protein intake were independently associated with both sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia, regardless of the diagnostic criteria. Conclusions: The Health Eating Index was not associated with sarcopenia in this sample of older adults ≥80 years. Sarcopenia prevalence, as defined by the EWGSOP 2018 criteria, was higher in those with MNA≤24 and with reduced daily total energy comsumption independently of age, sex and education attainment. Higher protein intake, oposed to expected, was indenpendently associated with sarcopenia, possibly due to protopathic bias. Large longitudinal studies are still required to investigate the relationship between nutrition quality and Sarcopenia in 80+ aged adults. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Post-Covid-19 Syndrome (PCS) is a condition that causes persistent symptoms and impacts nutritional status such as loss of muscle mass. The objective of this study was to review and map scientific evidence on nutritional management in the loss of muscle mass in patients with PCS. The scoping review protocol was prepared following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Review articles not written in English or those that included only hospitalized patients and pertained to conditions other than PCS were excluded. Data extraction followed the methodology outlined by the Cochrane Review Group. Of the 81 articles initially identified, only five met the inclusion criteria. The selected studies emphasized the importance of recovering muscle mass, higher protein and caloric intake, and physical strength exercises. Consequently, nutritional interventions aimed at mitigating muscle mass loss should prioritize strategies that increase caloric and protein consumption.

A Síndrome Pós-covid-19 (SPC) é uma condição que acarreta sintomas persistentes e impactam o estado nutricional, como a perda de massa. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar revisão para mapear evidências científicas acerca do manejo nutricional na perda de massa muscular em pacientes com SPC. O protocolo da revisão de escopo foi elaborado de acordo com o PRISMA-ScR. Foram excluídos artigos de revisão que não estivessem em inglês ou português, que incluíssem apenas pacientes hospitalizados e com outras condições que não a SPC. Os dados foram extraídos com base no Cochrane Review Group. 81 artigos foram identificados e a amostra final incluiu cinco estudos. Para a recuperação da massa muscular, maior ingestão proteica, calórica e exercícios físicos de força foram descritos nos estudos. A intervenção nutricional para recuperar a perda de massa muscular deve considerar estratégias que visam o aumento do consumo calórico e proteico.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To map the temporal evolution of overweight and obesity in Brazilian adults and estimate the prevalence of obesity for 2025 and 2030, evaluating the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Data were collected on the nutritional status of adults from 2008 to 2021 from the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN), from which we calculated the prevalence and average annual rates of the variation of overweight and obesity. The projection of obesity, using linear regression, was analyzed in three scenarios: PP: with data from the pre-pandemic period (2008-2019); outlier: with adjustment of the data trend (2008-2021), including the pandemic period, considering a return of scenario PP for projections from 2022; P: adjustment of pandemic data (2019-2021) to estimate the projection. Result: In the period 2008­2021, we observed an average annual rate of overweight increase of 0.48 %/year. The prevalence of obesity more than doubled during this period, from 14.5% in 2008 to 32.9% in 2021 (i.e., an increase of 1.42). In the outlier scenario, the prevalence projections for obesity are 38.8% and 45.5% for 2015 and 2030, respectively. In the PP scenario (without the pandemic), the expected prevalence for the same period would be approximately 36.8% and 43.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Obesity and overweight follow an increasing trend. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the increase in the prevalence of obesity in Brazil and impacted its projections for the coming years

Objetivo: Mapear a evolução temporal de sobrepeso e obesidade de adultos brasileiros e estimar as prevalências de obesidade para 2025 e 2030, avaliando o potencial impacto da pandemia de COVID-19. Método: Foram coletados dados do estado nutricional de adultos de 2008 a 2021 do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN), a partir dos quais foram calculadas as prevalências e taxas médias anuais da variação de sobrepeso e obesidade. A projeção da obesidade, utilizando regressão linear, foi analisada em três cenários: PP: com dados do período pré-pandemia (2008-2019); outlier: com ajuste da endência de dados (2008-2021), incluindo o período da pandemia, considerando um retorno do cenário PP para projeções a partir de 2022; P: ajuste dos dados da pandemia (2019-2021) para estimativa da projeção. Resultado: No período de 2008 e 2021, observamos uma taxa anual média de aumento de sobrepeso de 0,48 %/ano. A prevalência de obesidade mais que dobrou nesse período, passando de 14,5% em 2008 para 32,9% em 2021 (i.e., um aumento de 1,42). No cenário outlier, as projeções das prevalências de obesidade são de 38,8% e 45,5% para os anos de 2015 e 2030, respectivamente. No cenário PP (sem a pandemia), a prevalência esperada para o mesmo período estaria em torno de 36,8% e 43,4%, respectivamente. Conclusão: A obesidade e o sobrepeso seguem uma tendência de aumento crescente. A pandemia de COVID-19 acelerou o aumento da prevalência de obesidade no Brasil e impactou a sua projeção para os próximos anos.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of the diet of a community of settlers in the municipality of Limoeiro do Norte/Ceará, Brazil, and to verify whether there is a relationship between these variables and the nutritional status of these individuals. Method: This cross-sectional study included 77 adults. Nutritional status was assessed using waist circumference (WC), Body Shape Index (ABSI), and Body Roundness Index (BRI). Then, 24-h food recalls (R24h) were applied, and the GI and GL were calculated. Correlations between the glycemic index, BRI, and WC anthropometric variables were assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The correlation between GL and the ABSI anthropometric variable was evaluated using Spearman's correlation test. Variables were assessed for association using the Chi-squared test. Result: Inadequacies in the GI (60.38±2.65), GL (139.46±53.45) and WC (94.23±10.99) predominated in the study population, with higher values observed in men. There was greater adequacy for the most recent ABSI (0.0755±0.0040) and BRI markers (3.411±0.8593), which presented prominent values among women. The statistical analysis demonstrated no correlation or association between the crossed variables. Conclusion: It is inferred that inadequate dietary markers were prevalent among men, whereas women presented with more inadequate anthropometric markers. GI and GL were not associated with WC, ABSI, or BRI.

Objetivo: Avaliar o índice glicêmico (IG) e a carga glicêmica (CG) da dieta de uma comunidade de assentados no município de Limoeiro do Norte/Ceará, Brasil e verificar se existe relação entre essas variáveis e o estado nutricional desses indivíduos. Método:Estudo transversal com amostra composta por 77 indivíduos adultos. O estado nutricional foi avaliado através de circunferência da cintura (CC), A Body Shape Index(ABSI) e Body Roundness Index (BRI). Recordatórios alimentares de 24 horas (R24h) foram aplicados e o índice glicêmico (IG) e a carga glicêmica (CG) foram calculados. A investigação de correlações de índice glicêmico com as variáveis antropométricas BRI e CC foi realizada por meio da utilização de teste de correlação de Pearson. A avaliação de correlação entre a carga glicêmica e a variável antropométrica ABSI foi feita através do teste de correlação de Spearman. As variáveis foram avaliadas quanto à associação através do teste Qui-quadrado. Resultado: Na população do estudo, predominaram as inadequações de IG (60,38±2,65), CG (139,46±53,45) e CC (94,23±10,99) com valores mais elevados entre os homens. Houve maior adequação para os marcadores mais recentes ABSI (0,0755±0,0040) e BRI (3,411±0,8593), que apresentaram valores proeminentes entre as mulheres. A análise estatística demonstrou ausência de correlação ou associação entre as variáveis cruzadas. Conclusão: Infere-se que os marcadores dietéticos inadequados prevaleceram entre os homens, enquanto as mulheres apresentaram mais marcadores antropométricos inadequados. IG e CG não se associaram com os marcadores CC, ABSI e BRI.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Una fístula es una conexión anormal entre dos superficies epitelizadas. Cerca del 80 % de las fístulas entero-cutáneas son de origen iatrogénico secundarias a cirugía, y un menor porcentaje se relacionan con traumatismos, malignidad, enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal o isquemia. La morbilidad y las complicaciones asociadas pueden ser significativas, como la desnutrición, en la que intervienen múltiples factores. Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura en las bases de datos de PubMed, Google Scholar y SciELO, utilizando las palabras claves descritas y se seleccionaron los artículos más relevantes de los últimos años. Resultados. La clasificación de las fístulas se basa en su anatomía, su gasto o secreción diaria y su localización. Existe una tríada clásica de las complicaciones: sepsis, desnutrición y anomalías electrolíticas. El control del gasto de la fístula, el drenaje adecuado de las colecciones y la terapia antibiótica son claves en el manejo precoz de estos pacientes. Los estudios recientes hacen hincapié en que la sepsis asociada con la desnutrición son las principales causas de mortalidad. Conclusiones. Esta condición representa una de las complicaciones de más difícil y prolongado tratamiento en cirugía abdominal y colorrectal, y se relaciona con importantes tasas de morbilidad, mortalidad y altos costos para el sistema de salud. Es necesario un tratamiento multidisciplinario basado en la reanimación con líquidos, el control de la sepsis, el soporte nutricional y el cuidado de la herida, entre otros factores.

Introduction. A fistula is an abnormal connection between two epithelialized surfaces. About 80% of enterocutaneous fistulas are of iatrogenic origin secondary to surgery, and a smaller percentage are related to trauma, malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease or ischemia. The associated morbidity and complications can be significant, such as malnutrition, in which multiple factors intervene. Methods. A literature search was carried out in the PubMed, Google Scholar and SciELO databases using the keywords described and the most relevant articles from recent years were selected. Results. The classification of fistulas is based on their anatomy, their daily secretion output, and their location. There is a classic triad of complications: sepsis, malnutrition and electrolyte abnormalities. Control of fistula output, adequate drainage of the collections and antibiotic therapy are key to the early management of these patients. Recent studies emphasize that sepsis associated with malnutrition are the main causes of mortality. Conclusions. This condition represents one of the most difficult and prolonged complications to treat in abdominal and colorectal surgery, and is related to significant rates of morbidity, mortality and high costs for the health system. Multidisciplinary treatment based on fluid resuscitation, sepsis control, nutritional support, and wound care, among other factors, is necessary.
