This paper aims at identifying variables associated with inadequate work ability among nursing personnel a public hospital, considering factors related to socio‐demographic, lifestyles, working conditions, and health outcomes. A cross‐sectional study was conducted in university hospital São Paulo, Brazil, as part of larger research on tolerance 12 h night work. Nursing staff included registered nurses, nurse technicians, aides; total, there were 996 healthcare workers (878 female; 118 male)...
Abstract A comprehensive estimation of polyphenol intake is needed to gain a better understanding the association between polyphenol-rich food and potential effects this on chronic diseases. The aim study was estimate polyphenols major dietary contributors in population Sao Paulo. Data were obtained from Health Survey-São Paulo (ISA-Capital 2008) reported for 1103 adults elderly adults. Food estimated by one 24-h recall (24HR). Polyphenol calculated matching consumption data 24HR with...
Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and diet has been identified as a modifiable preventing controlling hypertension. Besides, epidemiological studies have suggested inverse association between polyphenol intake diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the polyphenols hypertension in general population Sao Paulo.Data came from 'Health Survey Paulo (ISA-Capital)' among 550 adults older Paulo, Brazil. Diet assessed by two 24-hour dietary recalls (24HR)....
Epidemiological studies have examined the effect of coffee intake on cardiovascular disease, but benefits and risks for system remain controversial. Our objective was to evaluate association between consumption its polyphenols risk factors. Data came from "Health Survey São Paulo (ISA-Capital)" among 557 individuals, in Paulo, Brazil. Diet assessed by two 24-h dietary recalls. Coffee categorized into <1, 1-3, ≥3 cups/day. Polyphenol calculated matching food data with Phenol-Explorer...
The aim of the present study was to investigate meat consumption among adults residing in a city countryside São Paulo, Campinas, according ethnicity/skin color two periods: 2008/2009 and 2014/2015, given scarce literature on subject. Thus, we sought evaluate association between race/color meat, food great cultural value, based hypothesis that this demographic marker is relevant explain choices. A cross-sectional population-based evaluating participants from Health Survey City Campinas...
Abstract Objective: To describe the development and validation of Nova Food-Frequency Questionnaire (NovaFFQ) for Brazilian adults. Design: The NovaFFQ is a self-administered, semi-quantitative questionnaire. food list includes most consumed foods drinks based on 2017-2018 National Food Intake Survey data. We identified differentiated that could be classified into multiple groups. assessed reproducibility criterion validity using percent energy contribution each group. Reproducibility was by...
Food biodiversity is vital for human health and sustainable food systems. However, research on neglected underutilized species limited by funding, uneven capacity, the challenge of balancing ecological, cultural, public considerations, requiring innovative prioritization approaches. Using Brazil as a model, this study inventories 369 across algae, aquatic fauna, wild terrestrial vertebrates, insects, mushrooms, plants. A mixed-methods approach, combining expert knowledge explainable AI...
A reduction in homocysteine concentration due to the use of supplemental folic acid is well recognized, although evidence same effect for natural folate sources, such as fruits and vegetables (FV), lacking. The traditional statistical analysis approaches do not provide further information. As an alternative, quantile regression allows exploration effects covariates through percentiles conditional distribution dependent variable.

Coffee was collected using food frequency...
Folate and other B vitamins are essential co-factors of one-carbon metabolism, genetic variants, such as polymorphisms, can alter the metabolism. Furthermore, adoption food fortification with folic acid showed a decrease homocysteine concentration. The aim this study was to investigate frequencies polymorphisms enzymes carrier proteins involved in evaluate concentrations presence these variants population exposed mandatory acid. Using data from population-based cross-sectional São Paulo,...
Abstract There is a growing research interest in determining whether changes the global status of DNA methylation are related to environment, particular, one-carbon metabolism. So, our aim was investigate effect dietary methyl-group donor intake (methionine, folate, choline, betaine, vitamins B 2 , 6 and 12 ), biomarkers (total unmetabolised folic acid (FA), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, homocysteine, concentrations) genetic variants (polymorphisms involved metabolism) on population exposed...
