- ItemSomente MetadadadosAntropometria do terço médio da face(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2013-08-28) Iurk, Lauren Klas [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Lydia Masako Ferreira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Introdução: O terço médio da face representa uma subunidade facial importante. Baseado no estudo das alterações anatômicas decorrentes do envelhecimento, o tratamento cirúrgico do terço médio da face tem evoluído nas últimas décadas. No entanto, não há um método de consenso para análise morfométrica objetiva dos sinais de envelhecimento do terço médio da face. Objetivo: Avaliar e comparar resultados de fotogrametria e fotogrametria do terço médio da face. Métodos: Doze mulheres entre 50 e 60 anos de idade foram submetidas à antropometria direta do terço médio da face com paquímetro e transferidor digitais, por dois observadores independentes. As medições foram comparadas com as medições obtidas por fotogrametria computadorizada e software gráfico Corel DRAW®. Foram estabelecidos pontos antropométricos e linhas, a partir dos quais obteve-se medidas e valores para a comparação. Resultados: A concordância intra-examinador de todas as medidas antropométricas realizadas foi alta, sendo os valores dos coeficientes de correlação intraclasse (CCI) maior do que 0,9. A concordância inter-examinadores também foi alta, sendo os valores de CCI superiores a 0,88. Os valores de CCI entre os métodos antropometria e fotogrametria foram maiores que 0,75, porém a variabilidade do coeficiente foi ampla para as medidas do ângulo do sulco nasojugal e da distância entre o Endocanthion e a comissura bucal, o que tornou essas duas medidas pouco reprodutíveis/concordantes. Conclusão: As medidas antropométricas tanto intra-examinador quanto inter-examinador são reprodutíveis e podem ser utilizadas na prática clínica. No entanto, as medidas obtidas por fotogrametria não se mostraram concordantes com as obtidas por antropometria.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Avaliação antropométrica e musculoesquelética de pacientes com síndrome de Marfan(Associação Brasileira de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia, 2011-08-01) Cipriano, Graziella França Bernardelli [UNIFESP]; Brech, Guilherme Carlos; Peres, Paulo Alberto Tayar [UNIFESP]; Mendes, Cássia Claudino [UNIFESP]; Cipriano Junior, Gerson [UNIFESP]; Carvalho, Antonio Carlos [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade de Brasília Faculdade Ceilândia Curso de FisioterapiaBACKGROUND: Marfan syndrome (MS) is an autosomic dominant condition of the connective tissue that involves the ocular, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. MS is caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene, leading to joint ligaments flaccidity, joint hypermobility and an overgrowth of the long bones. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to assess anthropometry, musculoskeletal alterations and the prevalence of physical therapy treatments among patients with MS. METHODS: Twenty-six patients were included in this study [17 females (age: 13.23±2.77 years; body mass 51.5±24-68 Kg; height 1.70±1.40-1.81 m; arm span: 1.73±0.12 m) and 9 males (age: 14.44±2.18; body mass: 61.0±42-72 Kg; height: 1.83±1.66-1.97 m; arm span: 1.93±0.13 m)]. Anthropometric measurements and musculoskeletal abnormalities were determined in a standardized fashion: pectus and scoliosis were assessed through radiography and angulation (â) of the scoliosis curve using the Cobb method; arachnodactyly was assessed through the thumb sign and Walker-Murdoch test and dolichostenomelia was assessed by arm span in relation to height. Patients also responded to a questionnaire addressing participation in physical therapy. RESULTS: In comparison to values estimated for the Brazilian population, mass and height were greater among the patients with MS (females: p=0.001 e p<0.0005 e males p=0.019 e p=0.0001, respectively). The following musculoskeletal abnormalities were found: pectus in 3 patients (11%), pectus and scoliosis in 19 (73%), dolichostenomelia in 11 (42%) and arachnodactyly in 21 (80%). Eleven patients (42%) with MS had previously undergone physical therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with MS exhibit altered musculoskeleto and anthropometry and have infrequent physical therapy treatment.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Avaliação de gordura corporal pela bioimpedância elétrica e sua correlação com diferentes pontos anatômicos de medida da circunferência da cintura em crianças(Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, 2009-02-01) Sant'anna, Mônica de Souza Lima; Tinoco, Adelson Luiz Araújo; Rosado, Lina Enriqueta F. P. de Lima [UNIFESP]; Sant'ana, Luciana Ferreira da Rocha; Mello, Amanda de Carvalho; Brito, Igor Surian de Sousa; Araújo, Larissa Fortunato; Santos, Tássia Ferreira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de Viçosa; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); UFVOBJECTIVE: To compare the different anatomical sites used in the measurement of waist circumference, as well as the effectiveness of these landmarks to predict the percentage of body fat by tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance analysis. METHODS: We evaluated 205 children from 6 to 9 years of age of both sexes. Data on weight, height and waist circumference were collected at three different sites: at the lower abdominal curvature, above the navel and at the midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest. Nutritional status was assessed through the body mass index (BMI)/age as recommended by the World Health Organization. RESULTS: The sample was considered homogeneous in terms of sex, and the mean age was 7.2±1.2 years. Regarding nutritional status, 6.3% of the children had low weight, 75.1% were eutrophic, 7.3% were overweight, and 11.2% were obese. Among males, there was no statistical difference between the different sites of measurement; in females, the measurement above the navel was statistically higher. In the correlation analysis, the midpoint measurement showed the best correlation with percentage of body fat, with values of 0.50 in boys and 0.62 in girls. CONCLUSION: Waist circumference measured at the midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest presented the best correlation with percentage of body fat.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Avaliação do estado nutricional e da composição corporal das crianças índias do Alto Xingu e da etnia Ikpeng(Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, 2004-12-01) Fagundes, Ulysses [UNIFESP]; Kopelman, Benjamin Israel [UNIFESP]; Oliva, Carlos Alberto Garcia [UNIFESP]; Baruzzi, Roberto Geraldo [UNIFESP]; Fagundes-Neto, Ulysses [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVES: To assess the nutritional and body composition of two Brazilian indigenous populations by comparing their nutritional status. METHODS: 95 children from Alto Xingu and 69 from Ikpeng were evaluated, ages ranged from 24 to 117 months. The study was performed in the Xingu Indigenous Park. Data collected were: age, weight, height, skin folds, arm circumference, resistance and reactance. The z-scores were calculated and classified according to the parameters defined by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS 2000). Shortness was defined as length or stature below -2, underweight as body mass index below -2, and overweight as body mass index above 2. RESULTS: Among children from Alto Xingu, the prevalence of shortness was 8.4%, while among Ikpengs the prevalence was 37.7% (p < 0.001). Underweight was diagnosed in 12.5% of Ikpeng's children. Values of fat-free mass were greater for children from Alto Xingu and no case of obesity was found. CONCLUSION: In this study, Ikpeng's children showed higher incidences of short stature and low weight than the Altoxingu's children. Data regarding body composition have greater values among children from Alto Xingu, thus we conclude that nutritional status among children from Alto Xingu is better than the one found among the Ikpeng's children.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Body mass index percentiles in adolescents of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, and their comparison with international parameters(Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia, 2010-03-01) Passos, Maria Aparecida Zanetti [UNIFESP]; Cintra, Isa de Pádua [UNIFESP]; Branco, Lúcia Maria; Machado, Helymar da Costa; Fisberg, Mauro [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Centro Paula Souza Escola Técnica Estadual (ETEC) Getúlio Vargas; Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)OBJECTIVE: To describe the percentile distribution of body mass index (BMI) in school adolescents, by gender and age, comparing them with international parameters. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included 8,020 adolescents aged 10-15 years from 43 schools in the city of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. BMI values of the study sample were distributed in percentiles and compared to international parameters (CDC, Must and cols. and Cole and cols.). RESULTS: Both male and female adolescents aged 10 to 14 years showed BMI cut-offs over the international parameters, especially in the P50-P85 percentile range. At the age of 15, the observed values were very similar to reference data; however, BMI values in the 95th percentile were much higher than international parameters. CONCLUSIONS: The study results show how important it is to use adequate BMI values for Brazilian adolescents aged 10-15 since international parameters may not reflect the actual nutritional status of this group.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Comparação entre as curvas de crescimento do Centers for Disease Control and Prevention e da Organização Mundial da Saúde para lactentes com idade de seis a 12 meses(Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo, 2010-12-01) Pires, Bianca Sant'Anna [UNIFESP]; Akutsu, Rita de Cássia [UNIFESP]; Castro, Lucíola Sant'Anna de [UNIFESP]; Asakura, Leiko; Sachs, Anita [UNIFESP]; Abrão, Ana Cristina Freitas de Vilhena [UNIFESP]; Coca, Kelly Pereira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de Brasília Departamento de Nutrição da UnB; Universidade de São Paulo (USP)OBJECTIVE: Compare the nutritional status of male and female infants classified according to the growth curve proposed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC-2000) and the new growth curve proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO-2006). METHODS: This longitudinal study enrolled children of 6-12 months old of both genders. They were born at term and exclusively or predominantly breastfed. A single researcher collected demographic, anthropometric and nutritional data. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare curves and the Friedman test was used to analyze the variance. RESULTS: Among the 55 followed children, 51% (n=28) were males. The percentages of normal weight-for-age and proper height-for-age in both genders were above 80%. The nutritional status classification according to both growth curves was similar. Agreement between the two curves regarding weight and height was 98.2 and 96.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: CDC-2000 and WHO-2006 growth curves were similar regarding nutritional status classification of 6-12 months old breastfeed infants.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosComposição corporal por bioimpedância e antropometria de idosos longevos(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-05-31) Bertolini, Audrey Andrade [UNIFESP]; Cendoroglo, Maysa Seabra Cendoroglo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Introduction: Aging is associated with changes in body composition in both men and women. Gender differences can impact the functional fitness in elderly with 80 or more years of age, and assessment methods are important to scale these differences. Objective: to compare the assessment of body composition by bioimpedance and anthropometry of physically independent men and women aged 80 years or more. Materials and methods: Individuals above 80 years old independently living in the city of São Paulo were invited to participate in this study through written and verbal communication. The elderly individuals underwent anthropometric evaluation and body composition assessments by bioimpedance. The 2003 criteria of the Pan-American Health Organization (OPAS) was used to assess the nutritional status of the participants. Lean body mass (LBM) variables were identified from the predictive equations of Kyle, Dey, and Valencia. ROC curves were used to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of the LBM results by BIA versus equations, and body fat percentage (BFP) results versus tricipital cutaneous fold (TCF) and waist circumference (WC). Results: This study included 221 elderly (72 men and 149 women) aged between 80 and 97 years old. The average values of WC were not different among males 95.3 ± 11 cm and females 90.9 ± 10.8 cm (p = 0.007). Likewise, the averaged values of body mass index (BMI), calf circumference, mid-upper arm muscle circumference (MUAMC) and body fat were similar between the two gender groups. However, TCF and lean body mass (LBM) values showed differences between genders: TCF 18.6 ± 5.7 mm in females and 15.4 ± 5.7 mm in males (p <0.001); LBM 37.0 ± 6.6 kg in females and 45.0 ± 10.4 kg in males (p <0.001). We found a strong correlation between body fat and BMI among women (r = 0.88; p <0.001) and men (r = 0.78; p <0.001), as well as body fat and WC in women (r = 0.76; p <0.001) and also in men (r = 0.79; p <0.001). Calf circumference values showed a stronger correlation to muscle mass in women (r = 0.72; p < 0.001). We also observed that WC and BFP values were high for both genders, except in underweight and eutrophic women. The average LBM index was lower in women with nutritional diagnosis of low weight. The comparison between the LBM by BIA versus predictive equations showed that Dey?s equation is the best estimate of BIA results when applied to eutrophic women. The analysis of skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) revealed that low-weight men showed lower SMI values than women. Conclusion: in order to identify obesity and sarcopenic obesity, even in individuals with normal BMI, it is crucial to consider gender differences and to combine different methods of evaluation, such asskeletal muscle mass (SMM) and SMI.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Estado nutricional de crianças índias terenas: evolução do peso e estatura e prevalência atual de anemia(Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, 2005-10-01) Morais, Mauro Batista de [UNIFESP]; Alves, Gildney Maria Dos Santos; Fagundes-neto, Ulysses [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul Departamento de PediatriaOBJECTIVE: This study of Terena Indian children less than 10 years old was undertaken in order to compare weight and height in 1995 and 2002 and to evaluate anemia prevalence in 2002. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of the Limão Verde and Córrego Seco tribes, located in Aquidauana, Mato Gosso do Sul, Brazil. The study enrolled all 253 children who were less than 10 years old in 1995 and 244 who were under 10 in 2002. Their nutritional status was evaluated comparing weight and height with the NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) reference values (Epi-Info version 6.2). Hemoglobin was assayed using a portable photometer. RESULTS: The percentages of children with weight for age deficit (z score < -2 standard deviations) were 4 and 2.9% in 1995 and 2002 respectively. Percentages of weight for height deficits were 3.6 and 0.8% respectively. Percentages of height for age deficits were 15 and 11,1% respectively. The median z scores for weight, age and weight, and height showed a statistically significant increase during the period between 1995 and 2002 in infants. Between 24 and 60 months, there were increments in median z scores for weight for age and height for age. There was no statistically significant decrease in any of the anthropometric indicators, with reference to z scores. The prevalence rates of anemia were 86.1% for infants 6 to 24 months old (n = 43), 50.8% for those 24 to 60 months (n = 65) and 40.7% for children aged 60 to 120 months (n = 59). CONCLUSION: Weight and height both increased during period from 1995 to 2002. Anemia was highly prevalent, calling for immediate corrective measures.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Estudo da relação entre a respiração oral e o tipo facial(ABORL-CCF Associação Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia Cérvico-Facial, 2007-08-01) Bianchini, Ana Paula; Guedes, Zelita Caldeira Ferreira [UNIFESP]; Vieira, Marilena Manno [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Breathing is responsible for facial and cranial morphology development. AIM: investigate in order to see if there is any relationship between oral breathing and facial type. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 119 male and female teenagers, with ages ranging between 15 and 18 years. The sample was separated in two groups: A-50 teenage oral breathers, 28 males and 22 females; and group B- 69 teenage nasal breathers, 37 males and 32 females. The sample was collected at the Centro de Atendimento e Apoio ao Adolescente do Departamento de Pediatria da UNIFESP/ EPM. We evaluated breathing and facial measures. RESULTS: by means of anthropometric indexes we classified facial types and associated them with the person s breathing type, Hypereuriprosopic (Total=0; oral breathers 0%; nasal breathers 0%; Euriprosopic (Total=14; oral breathers 2.52%, nasal breathers 9.24%;Mesoprosope (Total=20; oral breathers 19.32%; nasal breathers 21.01%, Leptoprosopic (Total=37; oral breathers 14.29%; nasal breathers 16.81%; Hyperleptoprosopic (Total =48; oral breathers 5.89% nasal breathers 10.92%). The mesoprosopic facial type was found in 48 teenagers (40.33%) of whom 25 (21.01%) were oral breathers and 23 (19.32%) were nasal breathers. Conclusion: it was not possible to prove the existence of an association between oral breathing and facial type.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Impacto do uso de cereal adicionado de ferro sobre os níveis de hemoglobina e a antropometria de pré-escolares(Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 1998-12-01) Vítolo, Márcia Regina [UNIFESP]; Aguirre, Andrea Nogueira De Campos; Kondo, Márcia Regina; Giuliano, Yara [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Neil [UNIFESP]; Lopez, Fábio Ancona [UNIFESP]; PUC-Campinas Faculdade de Ciências Medicas; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); PUC-Campinas Faculdade de Ciências MédicasAnemia and energetic malnutrition are considered to be the major nutritional challenges in developing countries. The efficacy of the various programs implemented to solve these problems has been assessed by studies with enriched food products. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the daily acceptance of an iron-enriched cereal, as well as its effect on the anthropometric parameters and hemoglobin levels of children aged 1 to 4 years old. Fifty-four children enrolled at a public day care unit participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: Group I with 24 children (median age: 2 years and 2 months) and Group II with 30 children (median age: 3 years and 6 months). Their food intake, weight, height and serum hemoglobin levels were measured at the beginning and at the end of the study. During a period of two months, milk and bread, which made up the children's breakfast and afternoon snack, were substituted by the enriched cereal in the form of porridge, which increased the iron intake in 2 to 3mg per day. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the weight for height rate of both groups, with improvement of nutritional condition in those children with acute malnutrition. With regard to serum hemoglobin levels, Group I showed an initial average level of 9.9 ± 2.0g/dl. The average level at the final evaluation, 11.4 ± 1.0g/dl, was significantly higher (p< 0.05) than at the start. Group II, with average serum hemoglobin level of 11.6 ± 0.9g/dl at the start, did not show a significant difference from the level at the end (11.9± 0.9g/dl).At the start of the study the incidence of anemia in Group I was of 81%. This value went down to 31.2% at the end of two months. For Group II, the incidence decreased from 20.8% to 12.5% at the end. The average daily intake of cereal during the first week was lower than in subsequent weeks. It is concluded that the product used in this study increased the serum hemoglobin levels of the children with anemia and contributed to the nutritional improvement of those who were malnourished. In addition, the cereal was well accepted by the children.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Ingestão de cálcio e indicadores antropométricos entre adolescentes(Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2007-06-01) Santos, Luana Caroline dos; Martini, Lígia Araújo; Freitas, Sílvia Nascimento de; Cintra, Isa de Pádua [UNIFESP]; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto Escola de Nutrição Departamento de Nutrição Clínica e Social; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine the relationship between calcium intake and anthropometric indicators in adolescents. METHODS: Students (n=507) from two public and one private schools of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, were assessed by means of a questionnaire on socioeconomic conditions, sexual maturity, anthropometry, body composition and food intake. RESULTS: The mean calcium intake was 703.7 (396.0) mg/day and the school with the highest socioeconomic level presented the highest mean intake. Only 8% of the adolescents presented an intake above the recommended intake. Body mass index was inversely associated with calcium (r=-0.203, p=0.001) in the school of intermediate socioeconomic level and also in adolescents with dietary calcium intake between 400 and 800 mg/day (r=-0.134, p=0.044). CONCLUSION: These results showed that calcium intake was insufficient among the adolescents of Ouro Preto, indicating the need to stimulate the consumption of calcium-rich foods in this population.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Prevalência e fatores associados ao excesso de peso em crianças brasileiras menores de 2 anos(Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, 2012-12-01) Cocetti, Monize [UNIFESP]; Taddei, Jose Augusto de Aguiar Carrazedo [UNIFESP]; Konstantyner, Tulio [UNIFESP]; Konstantyner, Thais Claudia Roma de Oliveira; Barros Filho, Antonio de Azevedo; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Centro Universitário Lusíada; Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of overweight, analyze its progression from 1989 to 2006 and identify factors associated with it among children younger than two years in Brazil. METHODS: Data for the Women and Children National Demography and Health Survey (PNDS 2006) were collected using questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The study sample included 1,735 children aged 0 to 24 months (910 boys; 825 girls). Nutritional status was defined according to the weight-for-height index (W/H; WHO, 2006), and children were classified as overweight if their W/H z score was greater than +2. RESULTS: Prevalence of overweight in Brazil was 6.54%. The highest prevalence of overweight was found in the southern (10.0%) and midwestern (11.1%) regions, among families with a per capita income higher than one minimum wage (11.8%), in social classes with a greater purchasing power (9.7%), among children whose birth weight was greater than 3 kg (8.04%) and whose exclusive breastfeeding lasted less than five months (7.4%). According to a fitted multiple logistic regression model, factors associated with overweight were: birth weight > 3 kg [odds ratio (OR) = 5.2, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 2.56-10.56], per capita income > 1 minimum wage (OR = 2.50, 95%CI 1.20-5.21), residence in midwestern region (OR = 2.40, 95%CI 1.01-5.72). CONCLUSIONS: The comparison of the prevalence found in the 2006 survey with the 1989 and 1996 values revealed that overweight among children younger than two years tends to decrease. The risk factors identified suggest that further actions should be conducted to prevent obesity among infants living in the midwestern region of Brazil, whose birth weight was greater than 3 kg and whose families had a per capita income higher than one minimum wage.
