Associations between food contaminants exposure and pubertal development at 10 ...

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Endocrine-disrupting compounds, such as acrylamide(AA) and bisphenol A(BPA), are external substances usually found food that may influence pubertal development. This study aims to assess the association of food contaminants exposure (AA and BPA), individually and combined, on pubertal development in children and adolescents aged 4-13. Data from four waves of Portuguese population-base...

Health and environmental impacts of shifting to plant-based analogues: a risk-b...

PurposePlant-based analogues (PBAs) simulate animal-based foods' attributes and can facilitate adherence to flexitarian and vegetarian dietary patterns, which have been associated with health benefits. However, possibly classifying PBAs as ultra-processed (UPF) and excluding healthy animal-based foods (e.g., fish) can result in unintended health risks. This study aims to quantify the health and environmental im...

Bisphenol A and cardiometabolic risk in adolescents: Data from the Generation X...

Background and aims: Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor widely used in food contact materials, has been linked to a worse health pro file. This study intends to estimate the association between BPA exposure and cardiometabolic patterns at adolescence. Methods and results: Data from the Portuguese population -based birth cohort Generation XXI at the age of 13 were used (n = 2386 providing 3 -day food diar...

Methodological approaches for the assessment of bisphenol A exposure

Risk characterization of dietary acrylamide exposure and associated factors in ...

Acrylamide exposure, mainly resulting from food cooking and processing, has been associated with a higher risk of health problems, due to genotoxic effects. This study aims to estimate acrylamide dietary exposure of the Portuguese population and its associated factors. Dietary data collected through 2 non-consecutive 24 hour recalls or food diaries from a representative sample of the Portuguese population from ...

Food Consumption Determinants and Barriers for Healthy Eating at the Workplace-...

Background: A wide variety of social, cultural and economic factors may influence dietary patterns. This work aims to identify the main determinants of food consumption and barriers for healthy eating at the workplace, in a university setting. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 533 participants. Data were obtained through the application of a self-administered questionnaire that i...

Consumption of packaged foods by the Portuguese population: type of materials a...

Purpose This study aims to evaluate in the Portuguese population the consumption of packaged food (PF) vs non-packaged food, the associated factors and to estimate the contribution of specific food groups to the use of packaging materials. Design/methodology/approach A representative sample of the population was evaluated within the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey 2015-2016 (n = 5,811, 3 m...

Nutritional intake of university employees'

Purpose - Excessive high caloric and nutritional intake has been associated with weight gain which is linked to an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and several types of cancers. The purpose of this paper is to characterize the nutritional intake pattern of the population in terms of energy, macro and micronutrients. Design/methodology/approach - There were assessed 513 workers of ...
