ABSTRACT

The aim of this manuscript is to understand the impact of childhood sexual abuse on the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) exposure. and parental neglect in crack cocaine users, considering the role of gender. This study is a secondary database analysis of a sample from a multicenter cross-sectional study with 715 crack cocaine users receiving outpatient treatment in public mental health networks in six Brazilian capitals. Prevalence ratios were estimated by Poisson regression. In crack cocaine users with childhood sexual abuse, traumatic experiences seem to remain fixed through the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adulthood. Crack cocaine users with childhood abuse and PTSD in adulthood showed more sexual risk behaviors, including outcomes such as HIV (PR = 3.6 p < 0.001 for childhood abuse and PR = 3.7 p < 0.001 for PTSD). Furthermore, this traumatic trajectory affects the functional ability of crack cocaine users, especially women, to work thus impacting their inclusion and sense of social belonging. Such a chain seems to be reflected in the establishment of a circle of transgenerational transmission, to the extent that subjects with a history of abuse and PTSD reported more parental neglect towards their children. This study reinforces the importance of preventive public policies regarding early socio-emotional vulnerabilities and the need to support families, especially women, to avoid HIV and self-destructive outcomes such as crack cocaine use.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To compare suicide rates observed in Brazil after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic with the estimated rate based on suicide deaths between 2010 and 2020, and identify sociodemographic variables associated with this outcome. Methods: Ecological time-series study. Data were obtained from Brazilian Unified Health System Department of Information Technology (DATASUS), with the structural break of the data set in March 2020. The number of actual suicides observed and the number of expected suicides if there were no COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed through bayesian structural time series modeling. Results: The overall incidence of suicides in Brazil remained stable after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to what would be expected. However, there was a significant increase in suicide deaths among women (6.9%) and older adult (9.1%). Analysis by macro-regions of the country showed significant increases in suicide deaths in the Center-West (7.4%), Northeast (5.7%), and Southeast (10%). Stratified analyses revealed differences according to age, sex, education, and skin color. Conclusions: Despite stability in the overall number of suicides, this phenomenon occurs heterogeneously among different population groups and regions of Brazil. Rates have increased in populations with a history of poor access to health, which may have been more severely impacted by the pandemic.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A pandemia do coronavírus (Covid-19) impôs desafios adicionais aos profissionais da saúde (PS), potencializando o risco de sofrimento psíquico. Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil sociodemográfico e a saúde mental de uma amostra de PS do Brasil durante a pandemia do Covid-19. Métodos: Estudo transversal online realizado durante 1 mês, entre maio e junho de 2020. Sintomas depressivos foram avaliados pelo Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) e o nível de burnout pelo Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Resultados: 1054 PS foram incluídos, sendo 34,5% médicos, 19,1% técnicos de enfermagem, 14,2% enfermeiros e 11,9% psicólogos. Mais da metade da amostra total apresentou escores ≥ 50 no domínio de burnout pessoal (PB) da CBI, indicativo de alto nível de burnout, e escores no PHQ-9 sugestivos de depressão clinicamente significativa, sendo estes índices mais elevados entre os técnicos de enfermagem (68,2% com PB ≥ 50 e 68,7% com PHQ-9 ≥ 9) e os PS da linha de frente (61,3% com PB ≥ 50 e 58% com PHQ-9 ≥ 9). Os técnicos de enfermagem apresentaram escores PB (58,4 ± 20,9) e do domínio de burnout relacionado ao trabalho (WB = 51,0 ± 21,1) superiores aos dos médicos (PB= 48,2 ± 19,9 e WB= 44,2 ± 19,1) e dos psicólogos (PB= 44,2 ± 17,4 e WB= 41,2 ± 16,7) p < 0,001. Conclusão: Os elevados níveis de burnout e depressão, mais preocupantes entre os técnicos de enfermagem, corroboram a vulnerabilidade dos PS ao sofrimento emocional no contexto do atendimento à Covid-19, demonstrando a urgência de intervenções específicas.(AU)


Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) posed additional challenges to health care professionals (PS), increasing the risk of psychological distress. Objective: To evaluate the sociodemographic profile and mental health of a sample of PS in Brazil during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional online study conducted during 1 month, between May and June 2020. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and the level of burnout by the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Results: 1054 PS were included, being 34.5% physicians, 19.1% nursing technicians, 14.2% nurses and 11.9% psychologists. More than half of the total sample had scores ≥ 50 in the the personal burnout (PB) domain of CBI, indicative of a high level of burnout, and PHQ-9 scores suggestive of clinically significant depression, these rates being higher among nursing technicians (68.2% with BP ≥ 50 and 68.7% with PHQ-9 ≥ 9) and frontline PS (61.3% with BP ≥ 50 and 58% with PHQ-9 ≥ 9). Nursing technicians had PB scores (58.4 ± 20.9) and work-related burnout domain scores (WB = 51.0 ± 21.1) higher than those of physicians (PB = 48.2 ± 19.9 and WB = 44.2 ± 19.1) and psychologists (PB = 44.2 ± 17.4 and WB = 41.2 ± 16.7) p <0.001. Conclusion: The high levels of burnout and depression, most worrying among nursing technicians, corroborate the vulnerability of the PS to emotional suffering in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Specific interventions are urgent.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Este estudo caracterizou pacientes adultos que tiveram solicitação de psicodiagnóstico enquanto estavam internados em leitos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) em uma unidade psiquiátrica de um hospital geral universitário de Porto Alegre no ano de 2017. Com o intuito de subsidiar o planejamento deste serviço, assim como a discussão com as equipes assistenciais a respeito das indicações para a solicitação, buscou-se conhecer as características tanto dos pacientes beneficiados por este exame como de suas internações. Traçou-se o perfil demográfico, identificou-se as especificidades das internações quanto ao motivo, tempo de permanência e diagnóstico psiquiátrico, e observou-se as características da própria avaliação psicológica. Método: Estudo exploratório, quantitativo e transversal, em que os dados foram resgatados dos prontuários de forma retrospectiva. A análise dos dados foi feita de forma descritiva e inferencial, com auxilio do SPSS versão 16.0. Resultados: Dos 247 pacientes internados, 17,8% tiveram solicitação de psicodiagnóstico, sendo que 93,2% (41) tiveram o processo concluído. A demanda principal foi para pacientes adultos jovens, possivelmente em primeira internação psiquiátrica e em processo de avaliação diagnóstica, um dos possíveis objetivos de uma internação psiquiátrica. Conclusão: O psicodiagnóstico auxilia no entendimento dinâmico do paciente; entretanto, este é um recurso técnico que precisa ser usado de forma estratégica durante a internação psiquiátrica por conta dos fatores que podem envolver desde o funcionamento da própria unidade até o estado mental e emocional do indivíduo em momento de crise.

Introduction: This study characterized adult patients that had indication for psychodiagnosis while in a public psychiatric unit in a general university hospital in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, in 2017. With the purposes of encouraging the discussion about psychodiagnosis indication among care teams and planning for this service, this study sought a better comprehension of patients' characteristics and their hospitalizations. Demographics, profile of the period of hospitalization, including reason for admission, length of stay, and psychiatric diagnosis, and characteristics of psychological assessment were described. Methods: This exploratory, quantitative, and cross-sectional study retrieved data from medical records retrospectively. Data were then analyzed descriptively and inferentially with SPSS, version 16.0. Results: Of 247 hospitalized patients, 17.8% had indication for psychodiagnosis, and 93.2% (41) had the procedure completed. The group that demanded most was young adults, possibly in their first psychiatric hospitalization and in the process of psychiatric assessment, one of the main objectives of a psychiatric admission. Conclusion: Psychodiagnosis helps to understand the dynamics of a patient; however, it should be used with caution in psychiatric hospitalization because of factors ranging from the operation of the unit itself to the mental and emotional state of a patient during an acute crisis.

ABSTRACT

Um novo vírus é identificado na China e começa a infectar seres humanos. Em poucas semanas, a infecção se espalha e pessoas ao redor do mundo passam a apresentar sintomas. A transmissibilidade é alta e ocorre através do contato, pelas vias respiratórias e por superfícies. A apresentação é semelhante à de uma gripe, porém mais severa. O isolamento se torna a principal ferramenta para conter a disseminação da doença. Fronteiras são fechadas. A população entra em pânico, e uma pandemia de medo se soma à crise sanitária. Sistemas de saúde entram em colapso: hospitais ficam lotados, faltam leitos e insumos e milhares de pessoas morrem diariamente. Não há tratamento eficaz. O estado de pandemia é decretado. Governos e instituições de pesquisa correm contra o tempo para compreender o mecanismo da infecção, desenvolver vacinas e políticas públicas de contenção ao avanço da doença. Teorias conspiratórias são divulgadas. Notícias falsas sobre fármacos sem evidências científicas que poderiam proporcionar uma cura milagrosa são disseminadas. Os poderes executivos de alguns países minimizam a doença. A crise tem repercussões graves nos cenários econômico e social. A vacina é desenvolvida. Pessoas furam a fila da vacina. O vírus sofre mutações. A população vive um estado de incerteza constante.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a percepção de mães em relação ao seu processo de maternagem e desenvolvimento de seus bebês nascidos no período de isolamento social devido à pandemia da Covid-19, através de um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por 8 mulheres que tiveram filhos de janeiro a novembro de 2020. as quais foram acessadas através da técnica bola de neve utilizando cadeias de referência para a sua composição a partir da indicação de sujeitos da rede dos participantes. Para a realização da pesquisa foi feita uma entrevista semi-estruturada individualmente com cada participante. Os dados coletados foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo, considerada a abordagem analítica mais utilizada para pesquisas qualitativas. Os resultados foram subdivididos em seis categorias e vinte subcategorias, baseadas na vivência da maternagem e no desenvolvimento dos filhos, tais como o aumento do tempo das mães com seus filhos; a dificuldade da ausência da rede de apoio e do convívio social; os sentimentos de angústia e dúvida despertados por estar vivenciando uma pandemia; e a modificação das atividades rotineiras devido à pandemia. Como conclusão, destaca-se que a carência de uma rede de apoio e a falta de convívio social foi âmbito que unanimemente acarretou dificuldades para as mães nesse momento. No entanto, as participantes percebem o benefício de disponibilizarem mais tempo aos filhos e menos interferências de opiniões alheias em momentos mais íntimos. Sugere-se a continuidade mais aprofundada desse tema, pois o processo de quarentena ainda é um evento recente para estas mães, portanto, ainda podem decorrer impactos emocionais posteriores.(AU)


The objective of this article is to investigate the perception of mothers in relation to their mothering process and the development of their babies, borned in the period of social isolation due to Covid-19 pandemic, through an exploratory qualitative study. The sample consisted of 8 women, who were accessed using the snowball technique, which qualifies as a form of non-probabilistic sample, using reference chains for its composition, based on the indication of subjects in the participant's network. To do the research, a semi-structured interview was conducted individually with each participant. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis, which is considered the most used analytical approach for research with qualitative methods. The results were subdivided into six categories and twenty subcategories, based on the mother's perception of their children's development and their mothering experiences. As a conclusion, it is highlighted that support network and social interaction were similar themes identified as difficult to mothers in this moment. However, the mothers realized as benefic the spare time with their children and less outside criticism in this intime moments. It is suggested that this theme be further researched, mainly due to the scarcity of studies on the processes of mothering and baby development in contexts of pandemics and catastrophes.(AU)

En conclusión, se destaca que la red de apoyo y la interacción social fue el área que unánimemente causó dificultades a las madres en ese momento. Sin embargo, perciben el beneficio de poner más tiempo a disposición de sus hijos y menos interferencia de las opiniones de otras personas en momentos más íntimos. Se sugiere una continuidad más profunda de este tema, ya que el proceso de cuarentena es todavía un evento reciente para estas madres, por lo que aún pueden ocurrir impactos emocionales posteriores.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Justificativa e Objetivos: O Rio Grande do Sul está entre os estados brasileiros com maior percentual de idosos. Mas, apesar das altas taxas de HIV/AIDS que têm sido verificadas na população geral, existem poucas investigações científicas que exploram este tema na população idosa. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a incidência anual de AIDS na população com 60 anos ou mais de idade, residente no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brasil, no período de 1997 a 2017, e comparar a diferença na taxa de infecção entre os sexos. Métodos: Estudo ecológico de série temporal. As informações sobre as notificações anuais de AIDS foram coletadas no TABNET, e os dados populacionais do RS foram consultados do TABNET e do site da Fundação de Economia e Estatística (FEE) do RS. A incidência anual foi calculada por 100 mil habitantes. Resultados: Entre 1997 e 2017 foram notificados 3.697 casos de AIDS em idosos no RS. No comparativo entre 1997 e 2017, a incidência anual de AIDS em idosos no RS aumentou de 3,92 para 13,71/100 mil habitantes, o que configura um crescimento de 249,93% (340,49% entre homens e 171,50% entre mulheres). Conclusão: O percentual de diagnósticos de AIDS em idosos no RS foi seis vezes superior ao evidenciado na população geral. A taxa em homens foi quase duas vezes mais alta do que a das mulheres. Isso pode decorrer do aumento da expectativa de vida e de fatores relacionados ao comportamento sexual, como o uso de medicações para impotência e reposição hormonal e de tecnologias de comunicação.(AU)


Background and Objectives: Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is one of the Brazilian states with the highest percentage of older adults. However, despite the high rates of HIV/AIDS that have been detected in the general population, there are few scientific investigations regarding its prevalence in the older adult population. Our goal is to identify the annual incidence of AIDS in the population aged 60 or over living in the State of RS, Brazil, from 1997 to 2017, and to compare the sex differences in infection rates. Methods: This was a time-series ecological study. Information on annual AIDS notifications was collected on TABNET, and population data of RS was collected on TABNET and the website of the Foundation of Economy and Statistics (FEE) of RS. The annual incidence was calculated per 100,000 inhabitants. Results: Between 1997 and 2017, 3,697 AIDS cases in older adults were notified in RS. In the comparison between 1997 and 2017, the annual incidence of AIDS in older adults in RS increased from 3.92 to 13.71/100,000 inhabitants, and a 249.93% increase (340.49% among men and 171.50% among women). Conclusion: The percentage of AIDS diagnostic in RS was six times higher in older adults than in the general population. The rate for men was almost twice as high as that for women. This may be due to increased life expectancy and other factors related to sexual behavior, such as medications for erectile dysfunction and hormonal replacement, and communication technologies.(AU)


Justificación y Objetivos: Rio Grande do Sul se encuentra entre los estados brasileños con el mayor porcentaje de personas mayores. Además, se han observado altas tasas de VIH/SIDA en la población general; sin embargo, hay pocas investigaciones científicas que exploren este tema. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la incidencia anual de SIDA en la población mayor de 60 años residente en Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, en el periodo de 1997 a 2017, así como comparar la diferencia en la tasa de infección entre los sexos. Métodos: Estudio ecológico de series de tiempo. La información sobre las notificaciones anuales de SIDA se consultó en TABNET y los datos de población de ese estado se recopilaron en TABNET y en el sitio web de la Fundación de Economía y Estadística (FEE). La incidencia anual se calculó por 100 mil habitantes. Resultados: Entre 1997 y 2017 se reportaron 3.697 casos de SIDA en las personas mayores en este estado. En la comparación entre 1997 y 2017, la incidencia anual de SIDA en ancianos encontrada pasó de 3,92 a 13,71/100.000 habitantes, lo que representa un aumento del 249,93% (340,49% en hombres y 171,50% entre mujeres). Conclusiones: El porcentaje de diagnóstico de SIDA en personas mayores encontrado fue seis veces mayor al evidenciado en la población general. La tasa de los hombres fue casi el doble que la de las mujeres. Esto puede deberse al aumento de la esperanza de vida y factores relacionados con la conducta sexual, como el uso de medicamentos para la impotencia y el reemplazo hormonal y tecnologías de la comunicación.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Club drug users are high risk and vulnerable population for adverse drug-related consequences and sexual risk behaviors. Few investigations have addressed the possible interrelationship between early trauma and PTSD among young club drug using populations. Objective: Exposure to traumatic experiences - especially in childhood, has been linked to risk behaviors exposure and substance use disorder. This study aimed to assess and compare drug use patterns and the presence of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) experiences among ecstasy and LSD users with and without Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Method: This cross-sectional study employed targeted sampling and ethnographic mapping approaches via face-to-face interviews conducted at bars and electronic music festivals. The Global Appraisal of Individual Needs questionnaire was used as the primary assessment instrument. Participants were from 18 to 39 years of age, had used ecstasy and/or LSD in the 90 days prior to the interview, and were not in treatment for alcohol and other drug problems. Results: Out of the 240 participants, 123 (51.2%) presented PTSD symptoms. Those presenting PTSD were younger, less educated, with lower income, and presented higher drug use severity than those without PTSD symptoms. Moreover, a higher prevalence of sexual risk behavior was verified among those with PTSD. There was an association between PTSD symptoms and CSA history, where 64.2% of individuals with PTSD also presented CSA, compared to 47% among those without PTSD (p = .028). Individuals with co-occurring history of CSA and PTSD symptoms reported earlier use of ecstasy, LSD, and cocaine compared to individuals with a history of CSA but without PTSD. Conclusions: In the present study, participants with a history of PTSD demonstrate a history of CSA, as well as pronounced severity in several areas - precocity of use, severity of addiction, and greater exposure to situations of sexual risk. Thus, a cycle of traumatization may be established through early potential trauma, which can remain unprocessed and contribute to earlier and more severe substance use and sexual risk behaviors. Identification of PTSD symptoms and risk for HIV and other STIs among young club drug users is critical to address focused treatment approaches for this vulnerable population.

ABSTRACT

Transtornos psiquiátricos são amplamente evidenciados em pacientes que buscam tratamentos estéticos. Apesar de não configurarem necessariamente uma contraindicação para a realização de procedimentos, o reconhecimento desses sintomas pelo profissional tende a contribuir para o fortalecimento da relação profissional-paciente e para um melhor prognóstico, reduzindo as chances de insatisfação, complicações e agravos nos sintomas psiquiátricos, além de evitar complicações legais. No presente artigo, os transtornos psiquiátricos mais comuns no domínio cosmético e estético foram apresentados e discutidos, assim como as orientações para o reconhecimento de sintomas e de manuseio destes pacientes por profissionais de saúde.


Psychiatric disorders are widely reported in patients seeking aesthetic treatments. Although they are not necessarily a contraindication for procedures, the recognition of these symptoms by the professional tends to strengthen the professional-patient relationship, thus leading to a better prognosis. This reduces the chances of dissatisfaction, complications, and aggravation of psychiatric symptoms, in addition to avoiding legal complications. In this article, the most common psychiatric disorders arising in cosmetic and aesthetic treatment are presented and discussed, as well as guidelines for recognizing the symptoms and managing these patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:: To identify symptoms of anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness in patients in outpatient treatment for substance dependency and to test for correlations with various aspects of their quality of life. METHODS:: A cross-sectional study of a sample of 25 men in recuperation from substance dependency, selected by convenience. We assessed symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II), anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory), hopelessness (Beck Hopelessness Scale), and quality of life (World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument-Abbreviated version [WHOQOL-Bref]), and also analyzed sociodemographic profile, substance abuse, and family history. Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages and quantitative variables as means and standard deviations or as medians and interquartile ranges. We also analyzed Spearman correlations to a 5% significance level. RESULTS:: The study revealed prevalence rates of 32% for depression, 24% for anxiety, and 12% for hopelessness, at a moderate/severe level. Correlations between Beck scales and WHOQOL-Bref were significant; but impacts differed in the four areas evaluated. CONCLUSIONS:: Overall, we observe global negative impacts on subjects' lives, affecting their psychiatric symptoms and quality of life and their relationships and occupational factors to a similar degree. The results show that the lower the scores on these scales, the better the quality of life in some areas, indicating that there is a negative correlation between psychiatric symptoms and quality of life.

Métodos: Estudo transversal com 25 homens em recuperação para dependência química, selecionados por conveniência. Foram avaliados sintomas de depressão (Inventário de Depressão de Beck-II), ansiedade (Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck) desesperança (Escala de Desesperança de Beck) e qualidade de vida (World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument-Abbreviated version [WHOQOL-Bref]), bem como perfil sociodemográfico, uso de substâncias e histórico familiar. Variáveis categóricas foram apresentadas como frequências e percentuais, e variáveis quantitativas, como médias e desvios-padrão ou medianas e intervalos interquartis. Foram utilizadas também correlações de Spearman com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: O estudo revelou prevalência de 32% para depressão, 24% para ansiedade e 12% para desesperança, em níveis moderado/grave. As correlações entre os inventários Beck e o WHOQOL-Bref foram significantes; entretanto, os impactos diferiram nos quatro domínios avaliados. Conclusões: De modo geral, observaram-se prejuízos globais na vida dos sujeitos, tanto frente a sintomas psiquiátricos e qualidade de vida quanto sobre relacionamentos e questões ocupacionais, em níveis semelhantes. Os resultados apontam que, quanto menor a pontuação nesses inventários, melhor a qualidade de vida em alguns domínios, indicando haver correlação negativa entre sintomas psiquiátricos e qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Identificar o estado nutricional e hábitos alimentares de pacientes masculinos em recuperação de dependência química em acompanhamento ambulatorial de uma unidade de adição. Métodos Estudo transversal com 25 pacientes adultos em tratamento ambulatorial para dependência química. Foram aferidos parâmetros antropométricos (peso, estatura, circunferência da cintura e índice de massa corporal) e de composição corporal (bioimpedância elétrica), e foram investigados hábitos alimentares (Questionário de Frequência Alimentar – QFA). As variáveis categóricas são apresentadas como frequências e percentuais e as variáveis contínuas, como média e desvio-padrão ou como mediana e intervalo interquartil. Resultados Observou-se índice de massa corporal médio de 27,73 ± 4,15 kg/m2, com prevalência de sobrepeso de 80% e obesidade de 8%. A média da circunferência da cintura foi de 96,60 ± 9,84 cm e a de percentual de gordura corporal, de 23,24 ± 6,44. A maior parte da amostra estudada [20 (80%)] refere realizar quatro ou mais refeições por dia e 72% referiram aumento do consumo alimentar no período de abstinência. A preferência por alimentos específicos no período de abstinência foi relatada por 12 (48%) pacientes. Em relação ao consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, destaca-se o consumo diário de pão francês (68%), pães brancos de forma (16%), sucos artificiais (48%), refrigerantes (32%), queijo amarelo (36%), embutidos com alto teor de gordura (36%) e balas e chicletes (32%). Conclusão Os resultados mostram prevalência elevada de sobrepeso e obesidade, além de medida de circunferência da cintura alterada, relato de aumento da ingestão alimentar e consumo diário e semanal elevado de alimentos ultraprocessados. .


Objective To identify the nutritional status and dietary habits of male patients recovering from chemical dependency in an ambulatory treatment of an addition unit. Methods Crosssectional study with 25 male patients in ambulatorial treatment for chemical dependency. Anthropometric parameters (weight, height, waist circumference and body mass index) and body composition (bioelectrical impedance) were measured and dietary habits (Food Frequency Questionnaire) were investigated. Categorical variables are shown as frequencies and percentages and continuous variables as mean and standard deviation or as median and interquartile range. Results It was found a body mass index mean of 27.73 ± 4.15 kg/m2, with a prevalence of overweight in 88% of the sample. The waist circumference mean was 96.60 ± 9.84 cm and a percentual body fat mass of 23.24 ± 6.44. The sample majority [20 (80%)] refers do four or more meals a day and 72% reported an increased food intake during the period of abstinence. The preference for specific foods during the abstinence period was reported by 12 (48%) patients.
