- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Alimentação complementar: práticas inadequadas em lactentes(Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, 2010-06-01) Caetano, Michelle Cavalcante [UNIFESP]; Ortiz, Thaís Tobaruela Ortiz [UNIFESP]; Silva, Simone Guerra Lopes da [UNIFESP]; Souza, Fabíola Isabel Suano de; Sarni, Roseli Oselka Saccardo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Faculdade de Medicina do ABCOBJECTIVE: To assess feeding practices and dietary intake of healthy infants in three Brazilian municipalities. METHODS: By means of a prospective study, we analyzed the food record of 7 consecutive days of an intentional sample (quota and weighted sampling) of 179 healthy infants, aged between 4 and 12 months, from the municipalities of Curitiba, São Paulo, and Recife, who were not being exclusively breastfed. Mothers received oral and written information provided by a nutritionist with the purpose of standardizing the feeding data. The computer program NutWin was used to calculate the dietary intake. RESULTS: The median of the infants' age was 6.8 months (4.0-12.6 months). We found that 50.3% of the infants were no longer being exclusively breastfed. Of these, 12.0 and 6.7% among the infants younger and older than 6 months, respectively, were fed with infant formulae instead of breast milk. Therefore, most infants received whole cow's milk. Infant formula dilution was correct in only 23.8 and 34.7% of the infants younger and older than 6 months old, respectively. With regards to complementary feeding, we found that the median age was 4 months for its introduction and 5.5 months for the introduction of family diet. There was high quantitative inappropriateness of micronutrient intake for infants between 6 and 12 months old who were not exclusively breastfed, mainly in terms of zinc (75%) and iron (45%). CONCLUSION: The present study showed a high frequency of inappropriate feeding practices and dietary intake in very young infants. These practices may lead to an increased risk of development of chronic diseases in the future.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Obesidade e fatores de risco cardiovascular em adolescentes de escolas públicas(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia - SBC, 2010-08-01) Cobayashi, Fernanda [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Fernanda Luisa Ceragioli [UNIFESP]; Schimith Escrivão, Maria Arlete Meil [UNIFESP]; Daniela, Silveira [UNIFESP]; Taddei, Jose Augusto de Aguiar Carrazedo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)BACKGROUND: Overweight in adolescence is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. OBJECTIVE: To study the association of cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) in overweight and normal-weight adolescents of both genders aged from 14 to 19 years, attending public schools. METHODS: Case-control study including 163 overweight and 151 normal-weight adolescents. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations between overweight and CRF (lipid profile, blood pressure and baseline insulin level). A set of CRF was defined for each individual, ranging from 0 (no risk factors) to 6 (all risk factors present). RESULTS: Overweight adolescents (body mass index > 85th percentile) presented a higher frequency of CRF in comparison to the normal- weight group. The CRF associated with overweight were HDLc < 35 mg/dl (OR = 3.41; CI: 1.24-9.38), triglycerides > 150 mg/dl (OR = 3.04; CI: 1.01-9.13), abnormal baseline insulin levels > 15 µU/ml (OR = 8.65; CI: 4.03-18.56) and abnormal blood pressure (OR = 3.69; CI: 1.76-7.72). Among overweight adolescents, 22.09% had more than three risk factors, whereas this percentage dropped to 6.12% among normal-weight adolescents. CONCLUSION: Overweight adolescents presented risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The need for programs and policies targeted at the diagnosis and treatment of this condition is pointed out in order to reduce the risks of morbidity and mortality in adulthood.
