O estudo teve como objetivos desenvolver valores de referência para perímetro de cintura (PC) em crianças brasileiras entre 6 e 10 anos de idade e avaliar o desempenho da PC na predição de fatores de risco cardiovasculares e de síndrome metabólica (SM) em crianças. O estudo epidemiológico transversal de base populacional incluiu 1.397 crianças entre 6 e 10 anos de idade, através de amostragem probabilística em ...
Objetivou-se analisar a correlação entre número de passos (pedometria) com atividades classificadas como leves, moderadas, vigorosas e atividade física total (acelerometria) entre escolares; comparar a proporção de escolares que não atingiram a recomendação de prática de atividade física estimada via pedometria vs. acelerometria; e comparar a atividade física entre os dias de semana vs. final de semana e entre ...
O presente estudo avaliou a eficácia do nível de atividade física (NAF), envolvimento em atividade física de moderada a vigorosa intensidade (AFMV) e número de passos/dia para predição dos fatores de risco cardiovasculares (FRCV) em crianças. Foram mensuradas medidas antropométricas, composição corporal, pressão arterial, glicemia, HDL-c e triacilglicerídeos. NAF e envolvimento em AFMV foram obtidos pelo regist...

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...
