Estimated dietary flavonoid intake and major food contributors in the Portugues...

Flavonoids are a key class of polyphenols, i.e., phytochemical compounds present in foods and beverages, which have been described as having health benefits in preventing several chronic diseases. Estimating flavonoid intake has already been conducted in several countries but has yet to be performed in Portugal. This study included 5,005 participants aged 3-84 years and aimed to estimate dietary flavonoid intak...

Intervenção alimentar e nutricional na diverticulose do cólon

A diverticulose do cólon consiste na presença de alterações anatómicas em forma de bolsa na parede do intestino grosso, passando a designar-se doença diverticular quando se desenvolvem sintomas. Por sua vez, a doença diverticular, subdivide-se em doença diverticular sintomática não complicada, diverticulite aguda ou crónica (não complicada ou complicada), hemorragia diverticular e colite associada à diverticulo...

Patterns of ultra-processed foods consumption throughout childhood and trajecto...

Background & aims: Ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption has been associated with unhealthy outcomes. However, the literature lacks robust longitudinal studies considering its cumulative effect, particularly in young populations. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between UPF consumption patterns throughout childhood with growth and adiposity trajectories. Methods: Generation XXI population-based b...

Weight loss in patients with severe obesity after bariatric surgery–the potenti...

Background: Despite the potential effectiveness of bariatric surgery in promoting weight loss, a considerable proportion of patients still face the challenge of achieving optimal post-surgery outcomes. The timing of eating, in addition to the content of what is eaten, as well as chronotype and social jetlag (a marker of circadian misalignment), have been implicated in weight regulation. However, the current und...

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 profile. 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 diarie...

Methodological approaches for the assessment of bisphenol A exposure

A lower energy intake contributes to a better cardiometabolic profile in adoles...

Caloric restriction has been associated with improved cardiometabolic health. Available data in humans are commonly based on short follow-up periods, specific diets, or popu-lation groups. We hypothesized that participants of a population-based cohort (Epidemio-logical Health Investigation of Teenagers in Porto) with a dietary pattern characterized by a lower energy intake during adolescence have a better cardi...

Effect of the food processing degree on cardiometabolic health outcomes: A pros...

Background & aims: Ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption has increased greatly over the last decades but its impact on health remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prospective effect of different degrees of food processing on children's cardiometabolic profile. Methods: Children from the Portuguese population-based birth cohort Generation XXI evaluated at 7 and 10 years of age (y), with dietary in...

Associated factors to the consumption of ultra-processed foods and its relation...

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are common worldwide and associated with poorer health outcomes. This work aimed to explore the UPF consumption associated factors and its main dietary sources, by sex, in Portugal. Participants from the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF) 2015-2016, aged 3-84 years, were included (n 5005). Dietary intake was assessed through two 1-day food diaries/24 h re...
