    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2009-07-29) Nascimento, Anelise Noronha do [UNIFESP]; Nóbrega, Fernando José de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    A good performance for sport is to join the technique to the maximum of athletic performance This result is obtained improving the psychological characteristics and nutrition of the athletes added by the maximum of their potentialities related to the structure and to athletic figure. The balanced nutrition and the correct choice of foods guarantee health and a better athletic performance. The justification of the present study resides in the importance of the realization of an educative program in nutrition for the athletes in artistic gymnastics, having in mind this relation with food, nutrition and a good athletic performance during the trainings which is going to contribute to the promotion of health and improvement of the performance. It was an explorative study, observational, cross-sectional, with collection of primary data. The results found regarding knowledge of nutrition was an improvement in the control group than in the study group, showing that the gymnasts from the study group are in the maintenance stage according to the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change. Since the athletes in artistic gymnastics are in an excellent phase to begin a Nutritional Education (EN) it activates and participates. And also to demystify unsuitable attitudes, mainly to stimulate new practices that are proved to be healthy and contribute to improve the athletic performance. The nutrition is not going to transform an individual not trained in an olympic athlete; but it is an essential part of the training of all athletes.

    (Elsevier B.V., 2013-03-01) Cardoso da Silveira, Jonas Augusto [UNIFESP]; Aguiar Carrazedo Taddei, Jose Augusto de [UNIFESP]; Guerra, Paulo Henrique; Cuce Nobre, Moacyr Roberto; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    Objective. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of school-based nutrition education interventions in reducing or preventing overweight and obesity among children and adolescents.Methods. We conducted a systematic search of 14 databases until May 2010 and cross-reference check in 8 systematic reviews (SRs) for studies published that described randomized controlled trials conducted in schools to reduce or prevent overweight in children and adolescents. An additional search was carried out using PubMed for papers published through May 2012, and no further papers were identified. Body mass index (BMI) was the primary outcome. the title and abstract review and the quality assessment were performed independently by two researchers. the software EPPI-Reviewer3 was used to store, manage and analyze all data. This SR is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00985972).Results. From the 4888 references initially retrieved, only 8 met the eligibility criteria for a random-effects meta-analysis. the total population consisted of 8722 children and adolescents. Across the studies, there was an average treatment effect of -0.33 kg/m(2) (-0.55, 0.11 95% CI) on BMI, with 84% of this effect explained by the highest quality studies.Conclusion. This systematic review provides evidence that school-based nutrition education interventions are effective in reducing the BMI of children and adolescents. (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Effectiveness of a 16-month multicomponent and environmental schoolbased intervention for recovery of poor income overweight/obese children and adolescents: study protocol of the health multipliers program
    (Biomed Central Ltd, 2017) Patriota, Pollyanna Fernandes [UNIFESP]; Filgueiras, Andrea Rocha [UNIFESP]; Almeida, Viviane Bellucci Pires de [UNIFESP]; Alexmovitz, Guilherme Aparecido Costa [UNIFESP]; da Silva, Carlos Eduardo [UNIFESP]; Féres de Carvalho, Vivian Fortuna [UNIFESP]; Carvalho, Natalia [UNIFESP]; de Albuquerque, Maria Paula; Domene, Semíramis Martins Álvares [UNIFESP]; do Prado, Wagner Luiz [UNIFESP]; Torres, Gustavo Enrique Salazar; Oliveira, Ana Paula Reis de [UNIFESP]; Sesso, Ricardo [UNIFESP]; Sawaya, Ana Lydia [UNIFESP]
    Background: Excess of weight is a serious public health concern in almost all countries, afflicting people of different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Studies have indicated the need for developing treatment strategies that intervene directly in the obesogenic environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component and environmental school-based intervention, lasting 16 months, on the recovery of the nutritional status of lowincome children and adolescents with overweight/obesity. Methods/study design: The study was conducted by the Center for Recovery and Nutritional Education (CREN) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Two schools located in poor neighborhoods were selected for the intervention, between March 2016 and June 2017. The participants were all students aged 8 to 12 years fromthe two participating schools. At the beginning of the intervention, anthropometric measurements were carried out to assess the nutritional status of the students. For convenience, students from one of the schools were considered as the control group, while those from the other school formed the experimental group. The intervention in the experimental group (n = 438) consists of the following weekly activities at school: psychological counseling in groups, theoretical/practical nutrition workshops, and supervised physical education classes. In addition, theoretical and practical educational activities are held regularly for parents, teachers, and cooks. Students with excess of weight (>= 1 body mass index [BMI] - for-age Z score, n = 138) received clinical and nutritional care periodically at the outpatient care at CREN. Students enrolled in the control group (n = 353) participated in psychological counseling groups and theoretical/practical nutrition workshops for 6 months held in the school environment to provide motivation to entire classrooms. In the following 10 months, students with excess of weight from the control group (n = 125) were invited to attend the routine outpatient care at CREN. Discussion: This study is the first to assess the effectiveness of a multi-component and environmental school-based intervention for the recovery of low-income, overweight/obese children and adolescents. If positive, the results demonstrate the feasibility for the recovery of excess of weight in populations of similar conditions and age.

    Height and weight gains in a nutrition rehabilitation day-care service
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2010-10-01) Alves Vieira, Maria de Fatima; Ferraro, Alexandre Arcanjo; Nascimento Souza, Maria Helena do; Fernandes, Maria Tereza B.; Sawaya, Ana Lydia [UNIFESP]; Univ Fed Pelotas; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ); CREN
    Objective: To evaluate nutritional recovery patterns in 106 undernourished children assisted by the Center of Nutritional Recovery and Education (CREN, in Portuguese) between January 1995 and December 1999.Design: CREN assists undernourished children aged 0 to 72 months living in the southern regions of São Paulo, in an outpatient setting. Nutritional status was assessed by Z-scores of weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height. Nutritional recovery evaluation considered Z-score gains in weight-for-age and height-for-age, grouping into four categories (Z-score increment of 0.50 between groups). Children with birth weight less than 2500 g were classified as low birth weight (LBW), while those born at term and with LBW were classified as small for gestational age.Setting: CREN (Center of Nutritional Recovery and Education in Portuguese), São Paulo, Brazil.Subjects: One hundred and six children from CREN.Results: Among the 106 evaluated children, ninety-eight (92.5%)recovered their weight or height and seventy-two (67.9%) recovered both. Nearly half of studied children presented a nutritional recovery (increase in Z-score) of more than 0.50 in height-for-age (46.2%) and about 40% in weight-for-age (38.7%). Multivariate analysis showed that treatment duration and initial weight-for-age contributed to weight-for-age Z-score increment, explaining 25% of the variation; and treatment duration, initial height-for-age and weight-for-age Z-score increment contributed to height-for-age Z-score increment, explaining 62% of the variation.Conclusions: Our findings show that nutritional recovery among children who attended CREN was influenced primarily by the degree of nutritional deficit at admission. It has also been shown that biological variables are more important than socio-economic status in determining the rate of nutritional recovery.

    Impacto de dois programas de educação nutricional sobre o risco cardiovascular em pacientes hipertensos e com excesso de peso
    (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2009-02-01) Alvarez, Tatiana Souza [UNIFESP]; Zanella, Maria Teresa [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    OBJECTIVE:To evaluate and compare the effects of two study protocols with a program of educational nutrition intervention on CARDIOVACULAR risk in overweight hypertensive patients maintained on their usual medication. Patients were followed at Hypertension and Metabology Division of Federal University of São Paulo. METHODS: Sixty tree overweight [body mass index >27 e <39kg/m²] hypertensive patients, age M=55,7 (Standard deviation - SD=6,1) years old, 12 men and 51 women, were divided into two groups according to visit intervals, either every five weeks (G35 n=25) or every two weeks (G14 n=38), during twenty weeks. The two groups were submitted to an educational program aiming to improve the quality of their diet and to promote changes in their alimentary habits. Before and at the end of the study period, all patients were submitted to blood pressure determinations, to anthopometric measurements and to laboratorial evaluation for the calculation of Framingham coronary risk. RESULTS:At the end of the study significant and similar changes in body mass index, waist circumference (102,9, SD=9,7 vs 101,8, SD=7,6 NS), systolic blood pressure (139,7, SD=12,4 vs 134,8, SD=8,2 NS), total cholesterol (192,9, SD=35,7 vs 195,2, SD=37,8 NS), energy intake (1759,5, SD=385,8 vs 1858,7, SD=452,8 NS) and Framingham coronary risk (11,1, SD=6,1 vs 9,4, SD=3,5 NS) we observed in G14 and G35 groups respectively. CONCLUSION: A short program of nutritional intervention was shown to be useful to reduce coronary risk in overweight hypertensive patients despite a very small change in body weight. A higher frequency of visits did not achieve better results, with a monthly visit being enough for positive changes although with a higher rate of drop outs.
