Maternal Eating Behavior and Problematic Eating Behaviors of Children Undergoin...
Ramalho, Sofia; Félix, Sílvia; Goldschmidt, Andrea B.; Silva, Diana; Costa, Cristiana; Mansilha, Helena Ferreira; Conceição, Eva M.Background: Research on the interplay between mothers' and children's eating behaviors is needed to better inform sensitive and tailored interventions for treatment-seeking children with overweight/obesity. The present study aimed to identify mothers' eating behavior phenotypes, investigating their associations with problematic eating behaviors of children undergoing weight loss treatment in two central hospita...

Ramalho, Sofia Marlene Marques; Maduro, Pedro Frederico Saint-Maurice; Silva, Diana; Mansilha, Helena Ferreira; Silva, Cátia; Gonçalves, SóniaPurpose APOLO-Teens is an ongoing web-based program combining a manualized intervention delivered by Facebook(R), a self-monitoring web application and monthly chat sessions to optimize treatment as usual for adolescents with overweight and obesity. The aims of this paper are twofold: (1) to describe the study protocol of the APOLO-Teens randomized controlled effectiveness trial and (2) to present baseline desc...

Adipokine gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms in portuguese obese adolescents:...
Nascimento, Henrique; Vieira, Emília; Coimbra, Susana; Catarino, Cristina; Costa, Elísio; Bronze-da-Rocha, Elsa; Rocha-Pereira, PetronilaBackground: The genetic contribution to obesity and to circulating adipokine levels has not been completely clarified. We aimed to evaluate adipokine genes' single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) prevalence and its association with circulating adipokine levels and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in an obese Portuguese pediatric population. Methods: Two hundred forty-eight obese adolescents (mean age 13.4 ...

Belo, Luís; Nascimento, Henrique; Kohlova, Michaela; Bronze-da-Rocha, Elsa; Fernandes, João; Costa, Elísio; Catarino, Cristina; Aires, LuísaObjectives: Bilirubin has potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The UGT1A1*28 polymorphism (TA repeats in the promoter region) is a major determinant of bilirubin levels and recent evidence suggests that raised adiposity may also be a contributing factor. We aimed to study the interaction between UGT1A1 polymorphism, hematological and anthropometric variables with total bilirubin levels in you...

Nascimento, Henrique; Costa, Elísio; Rocha-Pereira, Petronila; Rego, Carla; Mansilha, Helena Ferreira; Quintanilha, Alexandre; Santos-Silva, AliceObjectives: Evaluate cardiovascular risk factors in Portuguese obese children and adolescents and the long-term effects of lifestyle modifications on such risk factors. Design: Transversal cohort study and longitudinal study. Setting: University Hospital S. João and Children's Hospital Maria Pia, Porto. Patients/Participants: 148 obese children and adolescents [81 females (54.7%); mean age of 11.0 years]and 33 ...
