Teixeira, P; Leão, T; Severo, M; Ramos, E; Fraga, SHigher levels of social capital (SC) are associated with better health status. However, there is little evidence of the impact of SC on biological health outcomes in the early ages. To identify the association between SC in adolescence and inflammation levels in early adulthood. Prospective study using data from 2435 participants from the Epidemiological Health Investigation of Teenagers in Porto cohort. SC was...
Teaching young consumers in Europe: a multicentre qualitative needs assessment ...
Eley, C; Lundgren, P T; Kasza, G; Truninger, Monica; Brown, C; Hugues, V L; Izso, T; Teixeira, P; Syeda, R; Ferré, N; Kunszabo, A; Nunes, CristinaFoodborne illnesses have a significant global burden and can be life-threatening, with higher risk in vulnerable groups such as children. SafeConsume is an EU-funded, transdisciplinary project aiming to improve consumers' food safety behaviour. Developing educational resources on food safety for use in schools has potential to improve teaching of our young consumers. The aim of this study was to explore school ...
O1-5 Digital tools for physical activity assessment and brief counselling in Pr...
Silva, CS; Silva, MN; Godinho, CA; Mendes, R; Teixeira, PIssue/problem Implementation of national systems for patients' physical activity (PA) assessment and counselling is a cost-effective strategy recommended in the WHO Global Action Plan for PA 2018-2030. Although Primary Health Care (PHC) professionals are recognized as key agents for PA promotion, challenges remain on how to develop feasible and scalable tools to support them in promoting patients' PA. The Portu...
We Know One Health, but We also Need One Communication
Mateus, TL; Teixeira, P; Maia, RLThe One Health concept was developed globally as a strategy to expand interdisciplinary collaborations in all aspects of human, animal, and environmental health. Although health communication is a well-recognized discipline in human health, it is not yet being applied in the context of One Health. This is a potentially wasted opportunity for building bridges between health (human, animal, and environmental) and...

Silva, MN; Godinho, C; Salavisa, M; Silva, CS; Santos, R; Mendes, R; Owen, K; Teixeira, P; Bauman, ABackground Portugal has one of the highest rates of physical inactivity in Europe. To raise the profile of physical activity (PA) among adults, the Portuguese National Physical Activity Promotion Program of the Directorate-General of Health developed and implemented a national mass media campaign in 2019 named ?Follow the Whistle?. The campaign was based on social marketing principles and behavior change theory...
Cross-contamination of lettuce with Campylobacter spp. via cooking salt during ...
Santos-Ferreira, N; Alves, A; Cardoso, MJ; Langsrud, S; Malheiro, AR; Fernandes, R; Maia, R; Truninger, M; Junqueira, L; Nicolau, AI; Dumitrascu, LCampylobacter spp. are the most common bacterial pathogens associated with human gastroenteritis in industrialized countries. Contaminated chicken is the food vehicle associated with the majority of reported cases of campylobacteriosis, either by the consumption of undercooked meat or via cross- contamination of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods during the handling of contaminated raw chicken parts and carcasses. Our re...
Rat Olfactory Mucosa Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (OM-MSCs): A Characterizati...
Alvites, RD; Branquinho, MV; Caseiro, AR; Amorim, I; Santos Pedrosa, S; Rêma, A; Faria, F; Porto, B; Oliveira, C; Teixeira, P; Magalhães, R; Geuna, SStem/stromal cell-based therapies are a branch of regenerative medicine and stand as an attractive option to promote the repair of damaged or dysfunctional tissues and organs. Olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem/stromal cells have been regarded as a promising tool in regenerative therapies because of their several favorable properties such as multipotency, high proliferation rate, helpful location, and few associ...
Metabolic syndrome severity score is associated with diastolic dysfunction and ...
Ladeiras-Lopes, R; Teixeira, P; Azevedo, A; Leite-Moreira, A; Bettencourt, N; Fontes-Carvalho, RMetabolic syndrome (MetS) affects approximately one out of three adults in western countries and it combines a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors. A continuous gender and race/ethnicity-specific MetS severity score was recently described and validated, and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events, beyond individual MetS components. We aimed to assess if this score was associated with subclinical...
Risk communication strategies (on listeriosis) for high-risk groups
Maia, RL; Teixeira, P; Mateus, TLBackground: Most cases of listeriosis are domestically acquired. Although consumers have a key role in its prevention, it is generally agreed that individuals at higher risk have a low awareness of the infection. Scope and approach: A summary of the scientific information on listeriosis awareness among high-risk groups will be presented. Reasons explaining unawareness and potential strategies to communicate wit...
Prevalence of antibodies to a new histo-blood system: the FORS system
Jesus, C; Hesse, C; Rocha, C; Osório, N; Valado, A; Caseiro, A; Gabriel, A; Svensson, L; Moslemi, AR; Siba, WA; Srour, MA; Pereira, C; Tomaz, JIn 1987, three unrelated English families were reported with a putative blood subgroup called Apae. Swedish researchers later found evidence leading to abolishment of the Apae subgroup and establishment instead of the FORS blood group system (System 31 - ISBT, 2012). It is important to know the prevalence of antibodies in order to make the best decisions in transfusion medicine. Cells expressing the Forssman sa...
