Abstract Objective: To assess changes in daily habits, food choices and lifestyle of adult Brazilians before during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: This observational study was carried out with Brazilian adults through an online questionnaire 5 months after social distance measures implementation. The McNemar, McNemar–Bowker Wilcoxon tests were used to investigate differences COVID pandemic period, adopting statistical significance P < 0·05. Setting: Brazil. Participants: Totally, 1368...
Patients with advanced liver disease have several risk factors to develop nutritional deficiencies. Accurate assessment is a real challenge because many of the traditionally measured parameters status vary severity independently status. The objective this study was compare different tools used assess patients waiting for transplant. were nutritionally assessed by SGA, anthropometry, handgrip dynamometry and biochemical tests. Clinical variables cross analyzed methods. There 159 followed....
Background The loss of hepatic innervations after liver transplantation (LTx) might affect the energy metabolism patients. aim this study was to assess resting expenditure (REE), body composition, and dietary intake before during first year LTx. Methods REE measured by indirect calorimetry. Nutritional status assessed anthropometric assessment, bioimpedance, handgrip strength, (before 30, 90, 180, 270, 370 days LTx). Social, clinical, nutritional variables were as being potentially...
The study aimed to assess the eating behavior [uncontrolled (UE), emotional (EE), and cognitive restraint (CR)], perceived stress, independently associated factors among Brazilians during COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey was conducted data about 1,368 participants were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression models performed identify (socioeconomic, lifestyle, habits data) with behaviors stress. Working in frontline (OR = 2.19), increased food delivery 1.49), intake 1.48), number of...

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic may have had an impact on the mental health of university students and, consequently, led to initiation psychotropic medications or increase its use. This study aimed assess prevalence use among and evaluate association such medicine with who belong minority groups. is a cross-sectional study, in which all enrolled undergraduate courses at eight Brazilian public universities were invited answer online self-administered questionnaire. data collection was...
Previous studies have shown that weight gain commonly occurs after liver transplantation (LTx). Few risk factors been studied. The aim of this study was to assess the changes and incidence excessive up 3 years surgery. Post-LTx patients were assessed for their before disease; on first outpatient appointment LTx; 6 mo 1; 2 3y LTx. Demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle clinical variables collected gain, overweight obesity using linear logistic regression analysis. Eighty undergoing LTx between...
The behavioral changes that arose from quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted weight of people. This study aims investigate incidence and predictors gain during period.An online survey was performed five months after social distance measures implementation. Participants recorded their current usual before lockdown. A multivariate logistic regression model performed.Data on 1334 participants were evaluated (33.6y, 79.8% females), 58.8% gained (3.0 kg; 0.1 30.0 kg)....
Overweight is often used as a description after liver transplantation (LTx), but studies on body composition of patients submitted to LTx have only been devoted early postoperative periods; there little information regarding abdominal obesity LTx. The aim this study was assess composition, mass index (BMI), and waist circumference verify the prevalence risk factors for excessive weight, obesity, in long-term survivors LTx.Post-LTx with at least 1 year post-LTx were assessed their (by...
Abstract Background & Aims Survival after liver transplantation ( LT x) has increased. Metabolic syndrome MS ) is widely reported in patients the early years x; few studies have researched this condition relatively long‐term recipients. To describe, prospectively, prevalence of , its components and associated factors Methods A total 117 were evaluated 2008 (median 3 x, range 0–13 years) 2012 7 3–17 for presence [using modified NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III International Diabetes...
This is a multicenter, cross-sectional study carried out with students regularly enrolled in undergraduate courses at eight Brazilian IFES. Data collection was conducted between October 2021 and February 2022 using an online self-completed questionnaire, which addressed sociodemographic academic characteristics, lifestyle habits, health conditions. Symptoms of anxiety depression were assessed the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Variables analyzed descriptively frequency...
To evaluate the effects of replacing time spent in sedentary behavior (SB) with moderate to vigorous physical activity on sleep quality young adults.
The demand for liver transplantation (LTx) increases every year, which is in contrast to the stagnation number of donors. This phenomenon has given rise longer waiting times, results higher pre-transplantation mortality. Thus, our aim this study was identify risk factors, including nutritional variables, mortality patients who are on list LTx.Patients were assessed factors Data related demographic, socioeconomic, and etiologic disease severity, complications, medications, biochemical tests...
OBJETIVO: O estado nutricional de pacientes em lista espera para transplante hepático deve ser avaliado devido ao risco elevado deficiências nutricionais desses doentes, sendo este o objetivo do presente estudo. MÉTODOS: Em 13 meses, candidatos a fígado foram avaliados nutricionalmente pela técnica Avaliação Global Subjetiva (AGS) e ingestão alimentar foi quantificada pelo recordatório 24 horas. RESULTADOS: Foram 159 pacientes, média idade 50 ± 10,6 anos, 71,1% homens. A desnutrição...
Sarcopenia is prevalent before liver transplantation, and it considered to be a risk factor for morbidity/mortality. After some authors suggest that sarcopenia remains, as patients gain weight fat, they reach sarcopenic obesity status.Prospectively assess changes in body composition, prevalence associated factors with respect sarcopenia, after transplantation.Patients were evaluated at two different times 4.0±3.2y 7.6±3.1y transplantation. Body composition data obtained using bioelectrical...
