Article Synopsis
- This study examines how genetic factors, specifically the FTO gene, influence the long-term nutritional status of schoolchildren, focusing on their body mass index and body-fat percentage over three years.
- It involved measuring 355 schoolchildren's anthropometrics and analyzing their genetic makeup to determine the effects of the rs9939609 polymorphism.
- Results showed that children with the AA genetic variant had significantly higher odds of being classified as overweight or having higher body fat and waist circumference over time compared to those with other genetic variants, suggesting a strong genetic influence on maintaining poor nutritional status.
Purpose: To identify whether physical fitness (PF) components play a moderating role in the relationship between TV time and adiposity levels.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Few studies have examined if different PF levels modify the association between TV time and adiposity in adolescents.
Objective: To estimate the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in a non-metropolitan area (Vale do Rio Pardo) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and determine the association between seroprevalence and adherence to social distancing measures.
Method: For the present population-based, cross-sectional study, data were collected in four stages from August to October 2020. SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was assessed using an IgG/IgM rapid test.
The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) has been extensively reported in the literature related to nutritional status, but there has been limited description of the genetic contribution to obesity risk during childhood and adolescence, especially in Latin Americans. This study aims to associate the rs9939609 polymorphism, of the FTO gene, with changes in nutritional status in Brazilian schoolchildren followed for 3 years. A longitudinal study was conducted with 355 schoolchildren, aged 7-15 years in 2011/2012 and subsequently re-evaluated in 2014/2015.

Objective: To verify possible relationships between dyslipidemia, cultural factors, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in schoolchildren.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated a sample of 1,254 children and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 17 from the South of Brazil, 686 of whom were female.
Objective: There is no consensus on the best diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the child and adolescent population. Thus, the present study aimed to establish cutoff points for a continuous metabolic risk score (cMetS) in adolescents from southern Brazil.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted between 2014 and 2015.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses various research studies focusing on health topics, including health literacy in adolescents and the impact of walking programs on individuals with schizophrenia.
- It also covers innovative medical practices, safety culture in patient care, and the psychological effects experienced by emergency crews after disasters.
- Additionally, it highlights issues such as musculoskeletal disorders in midwives, negative childhood experiences affecting adolescent mental health, and studies on vaccination timing and assessments in elderly care.
Prevalence of obesity and cardiovascular risk among children and adolescents in the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul.
Sao Paulo Med J
October 2014
Context And Objective: Studies have demonstrated that metabolic complications from child obesity, although silent, increase the risk of development of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. The present paper sought to describe the prevalence of overweight/obesity and analyze the possible relationship between obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors among children and adolescents.
Design And Setting: Cross-sectional study, conducted in a university.
Objective: To verify the prevalence of obesity and hypertension in schoolchildren from Santa Cruz do Sul - RS, Brazil, in 2005 and 2008.
Method: The study was performed with two consecutive cross-sectional measurements, consisting of a stratified cluster sample, totaling 414 students, aged between 7 and 17 years, of which 215 (51.9%) were males and 199 (48.
