    OBJETIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of teacher who had (or had not) been exposed to the educative program that involved the use of games with educative and playful purposes and the didactic planning for the application of these activities. METHODS: The studied sample comprised 51 teachers (15 exposed and 36 not exposed). The questionnaire contained questions on nutritional concepts and on the role of the teacher and the school as a means of promotion of healthy nutritional habits. RESULTS: The studied variables included knowledge, attitude and nutritional practice of the teachers. Tables of contingency were used for the description of the frequencies of the variables and for the Exact Test of Fisher was used for the comparisons between the exposed and non exposed group, with significance rates of 0,05% or 5%. CONCLUSION: It had been observed that the exposed teachers had presented themselves better conceptually prepared and more sensitized in relation to the teacher's role and the school's while transforming reality, demonstrating that the program of school feeding can become a space of learning, production and knowledge production.

    Consumo de suplementos por alunos de academias de ginástica em São Paulo
    (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2003-09-01) Pereira, Raquel Franzini; Lajolo, Franco Maria; Hirschbruch, Marcia Daskal [UNIFESP]; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The increase in the number of fitness centers in the city of São Paulo, together with the increase in the offering of different supplements, has raised interest in the study of the consumption of supplements among fitness center users. The consumption of supplements by the general public has not been well quantified yet, and little information has been published about this subject. The arrival of new supplements in the market place has been faster than the creation of regulations and the accomplishment of researches proving their effects and determining the safety for their long-term use. In a sample of 309 users from seven fitness centers in São Paulo in 1999, 74 (23.9%) used at least one type of supplement, 77,0% of whom were male and 23,0% were female. The most consumed supplements were amino acids or other proteic products (38.9%), and the daily intake was the most mentioned consumption frequency (90.3%). The correlation between money expenditure with supplement and individual income was 27.5% (p = 0.0483; n = 52), and the expenses were greater among men; the correlation with family income was 36.1% (p = 0.0137; n = 46) and with Body Mass Index it was to 17.1% (p = 0.1564; n = 70). The conclusion was that the consumption of supplements is significant in the evaluated group, showing the need for more studies about the consumption of these products and their effects, focusing on nutrition education approaches in order to increase the level of information about them and to guarantee the safety of their use.

    Nutrition education in public elementary schools of São Paulo, Brazil: the Reducing Risks of Illness and Death in Adulthood project
    (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2006-06-01) Gaglianone, Cristina Pereira [UNIFESP]; Taddei, Jose Augusto de Aguiar Carrazedo [UNIFESP]; Colugnati, Fernando Antonio Basile [UNIFESP]; Magalhães, Clarissa Góes [UNIFESP]; Davanço, Giovana Mochi [UNIFESP]; Macedo, Lino de; Lopez, Fábio Ancona [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article was to analyze the development, implementation and impact of a nutrition education program on the knowledge and attitudes associated with healthy eating habits. METHODS: Controlled randomized trial comprising teachers and children of eight public schools; three of them were submitted to educational activities and the remaining ones were kept as controls. Effects of nutrition education were measured in terms of knowledge and attitudes. RESULTS: The results revealed an improvement in the food choice among students and a reduction in the intake of foods with high energy density. An improvement in the knowledge and attitudes of the teachers towards the prevention of obesity was also observed. CONCLUSION: Even with a positive attitude regarding the development of this proposal, there was a lack of support from the studied schools. Future studies and a greater involvement by the Health and Education sectors could overcome such barriers, improving the results of school-based programs to prevent obesity.
