[Association between excessive TV viewing time and body mass index among Brazilian adolescents: quantile regression analysis of the National Student Health Survey (PeNSE), 2015].

The study aimed to investigate whether excessive TV viewing time is associated with body mass index (BMI), irrespective of physical activity (PA) and interaction with consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), among Brazilian adolescents. It is a cross-sectional study with data on 13-17-year-old adolescents from the 2015 National Student Health Survey. BMI was the outcome (direct measurement of height and body mass) and exposure was excessive TV viewing time (>2 h/day), daily consumption of UPFs and PA.

Methods: Fourteen male amateur rugby players (28.9 ± 3.

Effects of Exercise Training and Statin Use in People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus with Dyslipidemia.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of the combination of exercise training (ET) and statins in people living with human immunodeficiency virus.

Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Eighty-three people living with human immunodeficiency virus were assigned to either placebo (PL), statins (STA), PL + ET (PLET) or STA + ET (STAET) groups.

High blood pressure screening in children and adolescents from Amargosa, Bahia: usefulness of anthropometric indices of obesity.

Objective: To determine the predictive power of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and their respective cut-off points for high blood pressure (BP) screening in Brazilian children and adolescents.

Method: Cross-sectional study conducted with 1,139 students aged 6 to 17years. Body weight, height, WC, and BP were measured.

Utility of anthropometric indicators to screen for clustered cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents.

Background Anthropometric indicators are associated with cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF), but there is no consensus as to which indicator is the most suitable to screen for clustered CMRF. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of five anthropometric indicators to screen for clustered CMRF in children and adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1139 schoolchildren aged 6-17 years from Northeastern Brazil.

Waist circumference percentile curves as a screening tool to predict cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome risk in Brazilian children.

The goals of this study were to develop reference values for waist circumference (WC) in Brazilian children between 6-10 years old and to evaluate the WC performance in predicting cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children. This is a population-based epidemiological cross-sectional study, in which 1,397 children participated, with a 6-10 years old probability sampling and from public and private schools in the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. WC was measured at the waist narrowest point (WC1) and at the umbilicus level (WC2).

Triad of the Ischemic Cardiovascular Disease in People Living with HIV? Association Between Risk Factors, HIV Infection, and Use of Antiretroviral Therapy.

Purpose Of Review: This review is focused on cardiovascular risk factors in HIV-infected people.

Recent Findings: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly increased the life expectancy of HIV-infected people. Thus, this population has experienced non-HIV-related diseases, mainly cardiovascular diseases.

Association between Leptin, Adiponectin, and Leptin/Adiponectin Ratio with Clustered Metabolic Risk Factors in Portuguese Adolescents: The LabMed Physical Activity Study.

Introduction: Circulating leptin and adiponectin levels have been associated with impaired vascular function, insulin resistance, and acute cardiovascular evens. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of leptin, adiponectin, and the leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio with a clustering of metabolic risk factors (MRF) in adolescents aged 12-18 years.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis with 529 Portuguese adolescents aged 12-18 years.

Waist circumference to height ratio predicts inflammatory risk in children.

Background: The increase in obesity, especially the increase of visceral fat, has been directly associated with health risk. Additionally, a waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (0.5) has been proposed as an indicator of early health risk.

Non-linear resistance training reduces inflammatory biomarkers in persons living with HIV: A randomized controlled trial.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of 12 weeks of non-linear resistance training (NLRT) on anthropometry, muscle strength and inflammatory biomarkers in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (PIHIV). Thirty previously sedentary PIHIVs were randomized into the NLRT (n = 15) and control (CON, n = 15) groups. NLRT group were submitted to 12 weeks of training, whereas the CON group maintained their daily habits.

Nonlinear Resistance Training Enhances the Lipid Profile and Reduces Inflammation Marker in People Living With HIV: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is associated with high total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), triglyceride (TG), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The natural course of the HIV infection reduces the high-density lipoprotein level (HDL-c). Thus, physical exercise plays a key role in reducing the effects of HAART and HIV.

Anthropometry and physical activity level in the prediction of metabolic syndrome in children.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of anthropometric measures and physical activity level in the prediction of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children.

Design: Cross-sectional study with children from public and private schools. Children underwent an anthropometric assessment, blood pressure measurement and biochemical evaluation of serum for determination of TAG, HDL-cholesterol and glucose.

Different waist circumference measurements and prediction of cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome in children.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of three waist circumference (WC) measurement sites to predict cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome (MS) in Brazilian children.

Methods: 187 children (mean age = 9.9 ± 0.

Beneficial effects of physical activity in an HIV-infected woman with lipodystrophy: a case report.

Introduction: Lipodystrophy is common in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy, and presents with morphologic changes and metabolic alterations that are associated with depressive behavior and reduced quality of life. We examined the effects of exercise training on morphological changes, lipid profile and quality of life in a woman with human immunodeficiency virus presenting with lipodystrophy.

Case Presentation: A 31-year-old Latin-American Caucasian woman infected with human immunodeficiency virus participated in a 12-week progressive resistance exercise training program with an aerobic component.
