The processing of food can cause changes that turn them into risk factors for chronic diseases. A higher degree is associated with the development non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including metabolic syndrome (MetS). objective this study was to analyze relationship between ultra-processed (UPF) consumption and prevalence MetS its factors, focusing on a population group especially subjected precarious living conditions insecurity.
Despite recent efforts by the government to combat Food Insecurity (FI), this issue remains a significant problem in Brazil, particularly among populations experiencing social vulnerability, such as Indigenous peoples. This study aimed assess prevalence and factors associated with FI families state of Alagoas. It was population-based cross-sectional survey using probabilistic sample (n = 1270 families) representing 11 ethnic groups present state. defined according Brazilian Scale. Factors...
A study involving children from Alagoas (Northeast Brazil) revealed that, as a consequence of drastic reduction in the prevalence stunting between 1992 to 2005, (22.5 11.4%) combined with an increase overweight (6.7 9.3%), these two conditions 2005 was very close. If trends were maintained, it is likely at this time, childhood has already exceeded that stunting. However, no available confirm hypothesis. The identification changes relevant planning and evaluation public policies. This aimed...
Anaemia is the main nutritional deficiency in Brazil, and a prevention control programme (National Program for Iron Supplementation) has been developed since 2005. Studies on temporal evolution of anaemia prevalence contribute to assessment effectiveness actions undertaken. The present study aimed identify trend children.
African ancestry seems to be a risk factor for hypertension; however, few genetic studies have addressed this issue. This study aimed investigate the prevalence of polymorphisms NOS3; rs1799983, IGFBP3; rs11977526 and TCF7L2; rs7903146 in Brazilian women descent their association with hypertension. The prevalences less frequent genotypes were 26.5% TT genotype 16.7% AA rs11977526, 18.3% rs7903146. For these conditions, hypertension PR (adjusted) relatively ancestral were, respectively: 52.0%...
Abstract Objective: To investigate factors associated with anaemia in preschool children. Design: A home survey was conducted 2018. Anaemia children (capillary blood Hb level < 110 g/l) the outcome, and socio-economic, demographic health of mother child were independent variables. The measure association prevalence ratio, its 95 % CI calculated using Poisson’s regression robust variance hierarchical selection Setting: Afro-descendants communities living state Alagoas, northeast Brazil....
Abstract Objectives Excessive adiposity is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Anthropometric indices are useful in screening individuals at higher risk for these diseases. However, there no studies that show which of has the best discriminatory power among Afro‐descendant Brazilian women. The objective this study was to assess accuracy anthropometric identifying factors CVD women and define one most suitable use under operating conditions prevailing Quilombola communities. Methods...
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed identify the prevalence and factors associated with food insecurity in families from remaining quilombola communities Alagoas, Brazil. Methods is a cross-sectional involving residing random sample of 34 out 68 Alagoas. The dependent variable was insecurity, defined by Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, its association (prevalence ratio - PR 95% CI) independent variables (socioeconomic, demographic, environmental) assessed through multivariable analysis...

Abstract Objectives: to investigate the prevalence of exclusive maternal breastfeeding (EMBF) and evaluate whether common mental disorder (CMD) other predictors promote its early interruption (EI-EMBF4). Methods: a cross-sectional study involving all children <24 months (n=252) residing in 50% (n=34) Quilombola communities Alagoas. The EI-EMBF4 was established when EMBF ≤4 months. Self-Reporting Questionnaire used identify occurrence CMD. Other were obtained through interviews. measure...
Abstract Background: The Cash Transfer Program (CTP) is one of the main strategies to combat Food and Nutritional Insecurity (FNI) in world primarily aimed at population groups subject greater social vulnerability. Alagoas Brazilian states that has worst socioeconomic indicators country. However, within its population, there are people who even more vulnerable due a historical process discrimination exclusion, such as remaining quilombo communities, which make them susceptible FNI...
