Methodological considerations in injury burden of disease studies across Europe...
Charalampous, Periklis; Pallari, Elena; Gorasso, Vanessa; von der Lippe, Elena; Devleesschauwer, Brecht; Pires, Sara M.; Plass, Dietrich; Idavain, JaneBackground: Calculating the disease burden due to injury is complex, as it requires many methodological choices. Until now, an overview of the methodological design choices that have been made in the burden of disease (BoD) studies in injury populations is not available. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify existing injury BoD studies undertaken across Europe and to comprehensively revie...

Risk-benefit assessment of cereal-based foods consumed by Portuguese children a...
Assunção, Ricardo; Boué, Géraldine; Alvito, Paula; Brazão, Roberto; Carmona, Paulo; Carvalho, Catarina; Correia, Daniela; Fernandes, Paulo; Lopes, CarlaCereal-based foods, including breakfast (BC) and infant cereals (IC), are among the first solid foods introduced to infants. BC and IC are sources of macro and micronutrients that have beneficial effects on health, but can also be sources of harmful chemical and microbiological contaminants and nutrients that may lead to adverse health effects at high consumption levels. This study was performed under the RiskB...

Assunção, Ricardo; Boué, Géraldine; Alvito, Paula; Brazão, Roberto; Carmona, Paulo; Carvalho, Catarina; Correia, Daniela; Fernandes, Paulo; Lopes, CarlaDe uma forma geral, o consumo de alimentos pode apresentar potenciais riscos e benefícios para os consumidores. Os alimentos à base de cereais, incluindo os cereais de pequeno-almoço e os cereais infantis, representam componentes importantes da dieta humana e estão entre os primeiros alimentos sólidos que são introduzidos na dieta. Estes alimentos constituem uma fonte importante de vários nutrientes, incluindo ...

Martins, Carla; Boué, Géraldine; Alvito, Paula; Brazão, Roberto; Carmona, Paulo; Carvalho, C.; Correia, D.; Fernandes, Paulo; Lopes, C.Cereal-based foods, including breakfast cereals (BC) and infant cereals (IC), are among the first solid foods introduced in infants’ diets. BC and IC are sources of nutrients that have beneficial effects on health. However, they can also be a source of potentially harmful chemical or microbiological contaminants, or of nutrients that at high consumption levels may lead to adverse health effects. Young children ...
Risks vs benefits of nuts consumption in Portugal: the balance between preventa...
Assunção, Ricardo; Jakobsen, Lea S.; Alvito, Paula; Carmona, Paulo; Carvalho, Catarina; Lopes, Carla; Martins, Carla; Monteiro, Sarogini; Nabais, PedroThe occurrence of mycotoxins in nuts, including the most potent carcinogenic aflatoxins (AFTs), has been reported by several authors worldwide. Notwithstanding, nut consumption plays an important role in the Mediterranean diet due to their nutrient contents and the consequent potential to produce beneficial health effects, as the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to quantify the hea...
Building capacity in risk-benefit assessment of foods: lessons learned from the...
Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; Brazão, Roberto; Carmona, Paulo; Fernandes, Paulo; Jakobsen, Lea S.; Lopes, Carla; Martins, CarlaBackground: Human diet may present both risks and benefits to consumers’ health. Risk-benefit assessment of foods (RBA) intends to estimate the overall health impact associated with exposure (or lack of exposure) to a particular food or food component. Scope and approach: “RiskBenefit4EU – Partnering to strengthen the risk-benefit assessment within EU using a holistic approach” (RB4EU) is a project funded by th...

Climate change and the health impact of aflatoxins exposure in Portugal: an ove...
Assunção, Ricardo; Martins, Carla; Viegas, Susana; Viegas, Carla; Jakobsen, Lea S.; Pires, Sara; Alvito, PaulaClimate change has been indicated as a driver for food safety issues worldwide, mainly due to the impact on the occurrence of food safety hazards at various stages of the food chain. Mycotoxins, natural contaminants produced by fungi, are among the most important of such hazards. Aflatoxins, which have the highest acute and chronic toxicity of all mycotoxins, assume particular importance. A recent study predict...
Climate change and aflatoxins exposure in Portugal: could be expect a significa...
Assunção, Ricardo; Martins, Carla; Viegas, Susana; Viegas, Carla; Jakobsen, Lea S.; Pires, Sara; Alvito, PaulaIn recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems on all continents and across the oceans. Climate change has become one of the most critical issues for the sustainable development of human societies and the functioning of ecosystems on earth. Portugal in highly vulnerable to climate change impacts due to its Europe south-western geographical situation, mainly through decrea...
