RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To assess the social, metabolic, and lifestyle determinants of consumption of fruits, vegetables, and greens (FVG) and ultra-processed food (ULT) in adults from Pernambuco. METHODS: Cross-sectional and analytical study, conducted in 2015/2016. In addition to sociodemographic variables, the determinants of lifestyle were level of physical activity, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and metabolic variables were self-reported hypertension, blood glucose, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Consumption was measured by the Food Frequency Questionnaire, then created the Frequency of Consumption Index (SFI) of the mean intake of ULT and FVG foods. The indices of FVG and ULT consumption were transformed into quartiles and these variables were included in the multinomial logistic regression, considering their determinants when p<0.05. RESULTS: The sample was representative of the state, with 1,067 people being interviewed, whose intake of ULT was higher than that of FVG in the lowest and highest quartile of the consumption index. Consumption of fruit and vegetables was higher in higher consumption of alcoholic beverages (p=0.031) and BMI>25 kg/m2 (p=0.047); and lower in the lowest income (p=0.001). ULT intake was higher in young adults (p=0.005), lower income (p=0.044), and controlled blood glucose (p=0.021). Rural areas were 52% less exposed to medium-high ULT consumption (p<0.006). CONCLUSION: Higher rate of ULT consumption in relation to fresh foods, with income as a common determinant, inversely associated with ULT intake and directly related to FVG, which demands structuring policies.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os determinantes sociais, metabólicos e de estilo de vida do consumo de frutas, legumes e verduras (FLV) e ultraprocessados (ULT) em adultos de Pernambuco. Métodos: Estudo transversal e analítico, realizado em 2015/2016. Além de variáveis sociodemográficas, os determinantes do estilo de vida foram nível de atividade física, doses de bebida alcoólica e uso de tabaco e os metabólicos foram hipertensão autorreferida, glicemia e Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). O consumo foi mensurado por questionário de frequência alimentar, e, em seguida, criou-se Índice da Frequência de Consumo (IFC) da média de ingestão dos alimentos ULT e FVL. Os índices de consumo de FLV e ULT foram transformados em quartis e essas variáveis incluídas na regressão logística multinomial, considerando seus determinantes quando p<0,05. Resultados: A amostra foi representativa do estado, sendo entrevistadas 1.067 pessoas, cuja ingestão de ULT foi superior à de FVL no menor e no maior quartil do índice de consumo. O consumo de FLV foi superior no maior consumo de bebida alcoólica (p=0,031) e IMC>25 kg/m2 (p=0,047); e inferior na menor renda (p=0,001). O consumo de ULT foi maior em adultos jovens (p=0,005), menor renda (p=0,044) e glicemia controlada (p=0,021). A área rural estava 52% menos exposta ao consumo médio-alto de ULT (p<0,006). Conclusão: Maior índice de consumo de ULT em relação aos alimentos in natura, tendo a renda como um determinante comum, inversamente associada à ingestão de ULT e diretamente relacionada a FVL, o que demanda políticas estruturantes.
RESUMEN
Patients with COVID-19 may develop symptoms that interfere with food intake. Systemic inflammatory response associated with physical inactivity and/or immobilization during hospital stay can induce weight and muscle loss leading to sarcopenia and worsening the clinical condition of these patients. The present study identifies the frequency and factors associated with sarcopenia prediction in adult and elderly patients hospitalized for COVID-19. It is a cohort-nested cross-sectional study on adult and elderly patients admitted to wards and intensive care units (ICUs) of 8 hospitals in a northeastern Brazilian state. The study was conducted from June 2020 to June 2021. Sociodemographic, economic, lifestyle, and current and past clinical history variables were collected. Sarcopenia prediction was determined by the Strength, Assistance in walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, and Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire compiled in the Remote-Malnutrition APP (R-MAPP). Patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia when the final score ≥ 4 points. The study included 214 patients with a mean age of 61.76 ± 16.91 years, of which 52.3 % were female and 57.5 % elderly. Sarcopenia prevailed in 40.7 % of the sample. Univariate analysis showed greater probability of sarcopenia in elderly individuals, nonpractitioners of physical activities, hypertensive patients, diabetic patients, and those hospitalized in the ICU. In the multivariate model, the type of hospital admission remained associated with sarcopenia prediction, where patients admitted to the ICU were 1.43 (95 % CI: 1.04; 1.97) more likely to have sarcopenia than those undergoing clinical treatment. Sarcopenia prediction was not associated with patient outcome (discharge, transfer, or death) (p = 0.332). The study highlighted an important percentage of sarcopenia prediction in patients with COVID-19, especially those admitted to the ICU. Additional investigations should be carried out to better understand and develop early diagnostic strategies to assist in the management of sarcopenic patients with COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: Studies that assess the food intake and nutritional status of ostomy patients are scarce in the literature. However, such individuals have symptoms in the postoperative period that determine changes in the intake of calories and nutrients as well as anthropometric variables. OBJECTIVE: Estimate the energy and nutrient intake of ostomy patients and determine correlations with anthropometric variables. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with ostomy individuals in outpatient follow-up at a reference hospital for postoperative ostomy surgery in the city of Recife, Brazil. Demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, anthropometric, and dietary data were collected through interviews and from patient charts. Statistical analyses were performed with the aid of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 13.0 for Windows, with the level of significance set at 5% (P≤0.05). RESULTS: The sample was composed of 100 individuals (54% males) with a mean age of 55.1±15.4 years. Colostomy patients predominated (82%) and had a greater frequency of excess weight compared to ileostomy patients (86.36% versus 13.64%). Median intake was below the Estimated Average Requirements, especially for vitamins A, C, and E. Significant inverse correlations were found between carbohydrate intake and both arm circumference and triceps skinfold (P=0.0302 for each) and a positive correlation was found between protein intake and arm muscle circumference (P=0.0158) in male patients. CONCLUSION: The present study found significant correlations between macronutrient intake and anthropometric variables indicative of reserves of lean and adipose mass. Moreover, intake was below the recommended values according to sex and age group, especially with regards to vitamins.

RESUMO CONTEXTO: Estudos que avaliam o consumo alimentar e o estado nutricional de pacientes ostomizados são escassos na literatura, entretanto, sabe-se que tais indivíduos cursam com sintomatologia que determinam modificações na ingestão calórica e de nutrientes, bem como nos parâmetros antropométricos durante o pós-operatório. OBJETIVO: Estimar a ingestão de energia e nutrientes em pacientes ostomizados e verificar sua relação com variáveis antropométricas. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, realizado com grupo de indivíduos ostomizados em acompanhamento ambulatorial em um hospital de referência para pós-operatório de ostomias em Recife - Pernambuco. Foram obtidos dados demográficos, socioeconômicos, clínicos, antropométricos e dietéticos por meio de entrevistas e coleta direta nos prontuários. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas no software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences versão 13.0 para Windows, adotando-se o valor de 5% para verificação de significância estatística (P≤0,05). RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por 100 indivíduos, sendo 54% do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 55,1±15,4 anos. O grupo foi caracterizado por um predomínio de pacientes colostomizados (82%; n=82), os quais apresentaram maiores frequências de excesso de peso, quando comparados àqueles com ileostomia (86,36% vs 13,64%). Foram identificadas medianas de ingestão abaixo dos valores recomendados pelos requisitos médios estimados principalmente para as vitaminas A, C e E. Houve correlação inversa significante entre o consumo de carboidratos com a circunferência do braço e a prega cutânea tricipital (P=0,0302), e correlação positiva entre o consumo de proteínas e a circunferência muscular do braço (P=0,0158) nos pacientes do sexo masculino. CONCLUSÃO: O presente estudo encontrou relação significante entre o consumo de macronutrientes e variáveis antropométricas indicativas de reservas de massa magra e adiposa. A ingestão, principalmente de vitaminas, foi abaixo dos valores preconizados segundo o sexo e a faixa etária.
