Unveiling the Metabolic Effects of Glycomacropeptide
Pena, MJ; Costa, R; Rodrigues, I; Martins, S; Guimarães, JT; Faria, A; Calhau, C; Rocha, JC; Borges, NFor many years, the main nitrogen source for patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) was phenylalanine-free amino acid supplements. Recently, casein glycomacropeptide (GMP) supplements have been prescribed due to its functional and sensorial properties. Nevertheless, many doubts still persist about the metabolic effects of GMP compared to free amino acids (fAA) and intact proteins such as casein (CAS). We endeavour...
Are hypohydrated older adults at increased risk of exhaustion?
Anjo, I; Amaral, TF; Afonso, C; Borges, N; Santos, A; Moreira, P; Padrão, PBackground: Dehydration appears to affect muscle strength and weakness, although its influence on exhaustion remains unclear. The present study aimed to quantify the association between hydration status and exhaustion among older adults. Methods: A cluster sampling approach was used, representing Portuguese older adults (≥65 years) according to age, sex, education level and region within the Nutrition UP65 cros...
Sitting time and associated factors among Portuguese older adults: results from...
Sousa, AS; Mendes, J; Guerra, RS; Padrão, P; Moreira, P; Santos, A; Borges, N; Afonso, C; Martins, C; Ferro, G; Amaral, TFOlder adults are particularly susceptible to sedentary behaviours. Sitting time has been increasingly referred to as a potentially modifiable risk factor in the prevention of chronic diseases. Identifying factors associated with sitting time, particularly those that are modifiable, will allow for more effective public health strategies. This study aimed to describe sitting time among Portuguese older adults and...
Sarcopenia, physical frailty, undernutrition and obesity cooccurrence among Por...
Sousa-Santos, AR; Afonso, C; Borges, N; Santos, A; Padrão, P; Moreira, P; F Amaral, TObjectives To investigate the coexistence of sarcopenia, frailty, undernutrition and obesity and to identify the factors associated with the cooccurrence of these conditions in an older population. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Portugal. Participants 1454 older adults with 65 years or older, from Nutrition UP 65 study. Primary and secondary outcome measures Sarcopenia was identified using the European Working...
Adherence to a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern and Functional Parameters: A Cross...
Mendes, J; Afonso, C; Borges, N; Santos, A; Moreira, P; Padrão, P; Negrão, R; Amaral, TFObjectives: In older adults, diet and physical activity are among the most important behaviours that influence health. The Mediterranean Dietary Pattern has been related to longevity and can benefit physical function in older adults. The present study aims to quantify the association of adherence to a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern with physical functioning through by handgrip strength, as well as, with sedentar...
New equation to estimate resting energy expenditure in non-critically ill patients
Barcellos, PS; Borges, N; Torres, DPMBackground Correct measurement of resting energy expenditure (REE) is essential to offer a proper nutritional management during hospital stay. Dietitians are not able to perform an effective dietary treatment if predicted REE values are obtained from invalid equations. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a more valid method to estimate REE in non-critically ill Portuguese patients. Design In this cro...

Outcomes of Long Pouch Gastric Bypass (LPGB): 4-Year Experience in Primary and ...
Ribeiro, R; Pouwels, S; Parmar, C; Pereira, J; Manaças, L; Guerra, AC; Borges, N; Ribeiro, J; Viveiros, OBackground: One of the most important complications of the one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is enterobilio acid reflux (EBAR). We report the concept of the long pouch Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LPRYGB) meaning a Roux-en-Y with a long pouch and a 100-cm alimentary limb to avoid EBAR, with a long biliopancreatic limb to increase metabolic effects. Methods: A total of 300 LPRYGB cases in a 4-year period, with ...
