The aim of this study was to evaluate whether body composition, muscle function, and their association are predictive factors for short-term postoperative complications in patients with gastric colorectal cancer. A prospective cohort conducted undergoing resection tumors. Nutritional status assessed using Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) anthropometric techniques. Low handgrip strength (HGS) observed when <16kg women, <27kg men. Computed tomography images were...
Abstract Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) often exhibit changes in body composition (BC) which are associated poorer clinical outcomes. Many studies group colon and rectal cancers together, irrespective of staging, potentially affecting assessment treatment strategies. Our study aimed to compare BC patients CRC focusing on tumor location metastasis presence. A total 635 individuals were evaluated, a mean age 61.8 ± 12.4 years 50.2% female. The majority had as the primary site (51.0%),...
The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of isolated nutrition indicators in diagnosing malnutrition patients with gastric and colorectal cancer their association mortality.Prospective cohort involving (n = 178) attending a reference center oncology at any point disease trajectory or treatment. Nutrition status was evaluated unique moment by body mass index (BMI), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), handgrip strength (HGS), calf circumference (CC). Kappa coefficient,...
AIMS: To investigate the associations between breast cancer diagnosis and nutritional environmental factors in women from Northeast Brazil.METHODS: A case-control study included evaluated two hospitals specialized treatment. The case group was composed by with whose data were obtained during hospitalization period for surgical treatment of disease. control selected same excluding oncology ward. following risk investigated: household sanitation, breastfeeding history, social class, smoking...
Abstract Background The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria for diagnosing malnutrition were established to provide a standardized approach in clinical practice using nutrition screening tool (NST) as the first step this process. This study aimed compare complementarity of NSTs with GLIM diagnosis patients cancer. Methods Hospitalized different cancer types evaluated prospective cohort which they initially screened Patient‐Generated Subjective Assessment (PG‐SGA),...
Abstract Background Adiposity can influence the estimation of muscle mass using calf circumference (CC) and underestimate frequency low CC. An adjustment for CC body index (BMI) was proposed to reduce this effect. We aimed compare in hospitalized patients when considering raw BMI‐adjusted values explore data by sex, age, race (white non‐white). Methods Secondary analysis from two cohort studies conducted with adult BMI collected first 72 h after hospital admission. classified approaches: (1)...
The lipid accumulation product (LAP) index is an abdominal adiposity marker.The aim of this study was to describe the cardiovascular risk primary healthcare users through LAP and correlate it with anthropometric biochemical indicators.Cross-sectional in care units a city northeastern Brazil.The subjects responded structured questionnaire that contained questions about their sociodemographic condition, then underwent nutritional assessment. values were expressed as three degrees intensity:...
Malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome (MSS) is frequent in the hospital setting. However, data on predictive validity of sarcopenia and MSS are scarce. We evaluated association between clinical adverse outcomes (prolonged length stay-LOS, six-month readmission, death) using a prospective cohort study involving adult hospitalized patients (n = 550, 55.3 ± 14.9 years, 53.1% males). Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to EWGSOP2, malnutrition Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Around 34% were...
It is already established that sarcopenia associated with adverse outcomes; however, few studies have focused on patients who suffered an acute cardiovascular event. The use of SARC-F, a 5-item screening questionnaire, in these remains to be investigated. We aimed investigate whether SARC-F can predict outcomes admitted hospital suspected infarction. This 1-year prospective cohort study. During hospitalization, completed the questionnaire (scores ≥ 4 considered positive for risk sarcopenia)....
Calf circumference (CC) has been established as a marker of muscle mass (MM) with good performance for predicting survival in individuals cancer. The study aims to determine the prevalence sarcopenia according European Working Group on Sarcopenia Older People 2 (EWGSOP2) criteria and evaluate accuracy using low CC relative MM assessment by computed tomography (CT) at third lumbar vertebra level (L3) reference. Cross-sectional cancer patients aged ≥ 60 years. Data included socio-demographic,...
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype among users primary health care using two different cutoff points used in literature. Methods: evaluated adults and elderly individuals both sexes who attended same level care. HTGW was determined with measurements circumference (WC) triglyceride levels compared proposed by National Cholesterol Education Program – NCEP/ATP III (WC ≥102 cm for men ≥88 women; ≥150 mg/dL sexes) Lemieux et al ≥90 ≥85...
