Abstract The present commentary contains a clear and simple guide designed to identify ultra-processed foods. It responds the growing interest in foods among policy makers, academic researchers, health professionals, journalists consumers concerned devise policies, investigate dietary patterns, advise people, prepare media coverage, when buying food checking labels shops or at home. Ultra-processed are defined within NOVA classification system, which groups according extent purpose of...
This study assessed associations between ultraprocessed food consumption and dietary nutrient profile linked to obesity in children adolescents Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, States using nationally representative data collected 2004 2014. Linear regression models were used evaluate share of foods (country age group-specific quintiles a 10% increase) energy density diets their content free sugars fiber. Ultraprocessed foods, defined by NOVA system,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Reports of associations between higher consumption ultraprocessed foods (UPF) and elevated risks obesity, noncommunicable diseases, mortality in adults are increasing. However, UPF with long-term adiposity trajectories have never been investigated children. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess longitudinal from childhood to early adulthood. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This prospective birth cohort study included children who participated the Avon Longitudinal Study...
There is cumulative recognition that increases in the dietary share of ultra-processed foods result deterioration nutritional quality overall diet and adverse health outcomes.The purpose this study was to assess consumption examine its association with added sugar content US children aged 2 19 years.We classified all food items according NOVA classification system looked at foods, measured as percentage total energy intake. We assessed by estimating contribution intake proportion individuals...
Abstract This study aimed to assess the association between watching TV whilst eating and consumption of ultraprocessed foods amongst children aged 4–10 years old in United Kingdom. Cross‐sectional data from UK National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS 2008–2012) were analysed. Dietary derived 4‐day food diaries 1,277 children, dietary contribution was assessed. Meals classified based on time day which consumed (lunch: 11 pm–3 pm dinner: 6 pm–9 pm). Crude adjusted linear regression models...
Background Recent studies have shown that probiotics, most commonly Lactobacillus GG, may be useful in treating acute gastroenteritis. However, beneficial effects appear to limited a modest decrease the duration of diarrhea. No evaluated this therapy moderate severe dehydrating diarrhea metabolic facility. Methods Male children less than 2 years age were admitted unit Department Pediatrics at Federal University Bahia, Brazil, with dehydration and randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled...
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dietary practices and household food insecurity (HFI) status among high-risk children during COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional conducted with 147 aged 1 9 attending at three reference health centers in city Rio de Janeiro. Diet quality data assessed using Healthy Eating Indices. Brazilian Scale Food Nutrition Insecurity measured HFI status. Associations were logistic regression models. Almost half lived (47.6%)....
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...
Abstract Objective: This paper describes the first web-based self-completed 24-h recall designed to categorise food intake according Nova groups – Nova24h and its agreement with a reference tool in estimating dietary relative contribution of four (% total energy intake). Design: Comparisons estimates contributions obtained by one standard interviewer-led recall. Setting: Nationwide adult cohort study Brazil. Participants: The subjects were 186 participants NutriNet Brasil Cohort Study ( n...
Abstract: Medical advances continue to change the face of human immunodeficiency virus–acquired syndrome (HIV/AIDS). As life expectancy increases, number people living with HIV rises, presenting new challenges for management a chronic condition. Aging, nutrition, and physical activity can influence outcomes in other conditions, emerging data show that each these factors impact viral replication immune system HIV. infection results decline through depletion CD4+ T cells. From initial...
: We compared biomarkers of vascular dysfunction among HIV-infected children to a demographically similar group uninfected and determined factors associated with these biomarkers.: measured several dysfunction: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant -1 (MCP-1) (inflammation); fibrinogen P-selectin (coagulant dysfunction); soluble intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM), (sVCAM), E-selectin (endothelial leptin (metabolic dysfunction). Anthropometry,...
Obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and antiretroviral therapies may predispose HIV-infected children to poor physical fitness. Estimated peak oxygen consumption (VO(2) peak), maximal strength endurance, flexibility were measured in uninfected children. Among children, anthropometric HIV disease-specific factors evaluated determine their association with VO(2) peak. Forty-five (mean age 16.1 years) 36 13.5 participated the study. In subjects, median viral load was 980 copies/ml (IQR 200-11,000...
Abstract The current study aims to describe the consumption of ultra-processed foods, from 2 4 years old, and evaluate its association with growth outcomes during same period. It is a prospective cohort using data 2015 Pelotas-Brazil Birth Cohort. Outcomes assessed at 2- 4-year-old follow-ups were BMI-for-age Z -score length/height-for-age -score. exposure was score food calculated each follow-up by summing up positive answers for nine specific items/subgroups foods: (i) instant noodles;...

Dietary were assessed using two indicators: I) diversity, characterized by consumption five food groups: meat, beans, vegetables, fruit milk; II)...
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected youth are healthier because of effective antiretroviral therapies. We compared anthropometric measurements and prevalence overweight obesity between perinatally HIV-infected youth, a local HIV-uninfected comparison group, 2007 to 2010 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. In addition, we only African American with NHANES Americans.
Abstract Background The exploitative marketing of commercial milk formula (CMF) reduces breastfeeding, and harms child maternal health globally. Yet forty years after the International Code Marketing Breast-Milk Substitutes (The Code) was adopted by WHO member states, many countries are still to fully implement its provisions into national law. Furthermore, despite Code, worldwide CMF markets have markedly expanded. In this paper, we adopt Brazil as a case study understand power baby food...
Abstract The Nova system categorizes foods according to processing levels, and dietary intake instruments not developed assess this criteria may introduce bias in epidemiological studies. To address gap, we validated the Food Frequency Questionnaire (NovaFFQ) for Brazilian adults. NovaFFQ includes commonly consumed drinks based on 2017-2018 National Survey data. Reproducibility was assessed by comparing estimates two occasions. Criterion validity mean contribution of groups obtained from...
