Association Between the Food Environment Around Schools and Food Consumption of Adolescents in Large and Small Municipalities in Southern Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how the food options available around schools in Southern Brazil impact what ninth-grade students eat, focusing on both healthy and unhealthy food choices.
- Data was collected from 449 students in two cities, with the food environment evaluated using a specific tool (AUDITNOVA) to assess both the types of foods available and their impact on student diets.
- Results showed a significant relationship in Florianópolis where a poorer food environment was linked to higher unhealthy food consumption, while the smaller municipality revealed low healthy food intake with no significant findings on the relationship between food environment and consumption.
Reduced rank regression dietary patterns and dyslipidemia in Brazilian adolescents: results from the Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents (ERICA).
Eur J Clin Nutr
November 2024
Background: Evidence on the harmful effects of diet on serum lipids in adolescence has not been consistent. The present study sought to establish which dietary patterns are associated with biomarkers of dyslipidemia.
Methods: Data from 36,217 Brazilian adolescents participating in the Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents were evaluated.
Advances in surface-assisted synthesis routes now allow for precise control in the preparation and modification of low-dimensional structures. The choice of molecular precursors plays a fundamental role in these processes since the structural details and properties of the resulting nanostructures directly depend on the molecular block used. From this perspective, units based on porphyrins have proven to be promising candidates for the construction of nanosystems with nontrivial geometry.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTubular aggregates (TA) are skeletal muscle structures that arise from the progressive accumulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins, mainly with aging. Muscle regeneration plays a role in TA formation. TA quantification may aid in the evaluation of muscle aging and genetic muscle degeneration.

- - The first audit of LGBTQ+ inclusivity in UK fertility care reveals significant shortcomings in clinical knowledge and cultural competence, particularly affecting transgender and gender diverse patients.
- - Despite some efforts to improve inclusivity, systemic barriers like cisheteronormativity and discrimination persist, leaving LGBTQ+ patients under-represented in both research and practice.
- - A checklist for enhancing LGBTQ+ inclusivity was co-developed with community members, focusing on cultural competence, clinical considerations, and online presence, highlighting the urgent need for better support and understanding in fertility care.
