Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents growth and de...
Padez, Cristina P.; Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides M.; Mota-Pinto, Anabela; Muc, Magdalena; Nogueira, Helena; Rodrigues, Daniela; et al.Optimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong health and well-being1–6. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years on the basis of rural and urban place of residence in 200 countries and territories from ...
Experience with direct oral anticoagulants in pregnancy a systematic review
Areia, Ana Luísa; Mota-Pinto, AnabelaObjectives The experience and use of the new direct oral anti coagulants (DOACs) in pregnancy is limited, but as they offer many practical advantages compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), the pursue of their safety is challenging. Methods Systematic review of studies in which DOACs were used during pregnancy and the puerperal period (PROSPERO registry-CRD42021237688). Searches were performed on MEDLI...
Inflammation and Preterm Birth: A Systematic Review
Areia, Ana Luísa; Mota-Pinto, AnabelaInflammatory mechanisms have a critical role in parturition, which results from a gathering of different stimuli that collectively initiate labour. In fact, a sophisticated interaction occurs between contractile and immuno-inflammatory pathways, whereby proinflammatory amplification is intensified by collaborative connections between cells, ligands, and tissues. Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the major challenge...

Iurilli, Maria L. C.; Zhou, Bin; Bennett, James E.; Carrillo-Larco, Rodrigo M.; Sophiea, Marisa K.; Rodriguez-Martinez, Andrea; Bixby, HonorMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:30:23Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of ...
Type 2 and type 3 innate lymphoid cells at the maternal-fetal interface: implic...
Mendes, João; Rodrigues-Santos, Paulo; Areia, Ana Luísa; Almeida, Jani-Sofia; Alves, Vera; Santos-Rosa, Manuel; Mota-Pinto, AnabelaBackground Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is commonly accepted that the act of giving birth is the final step in a proinflammatory signaling cascade, orchestrated by an intrauterine milieu coupled to hormonal cues. Consequently, the inflammatory process plays a pivotal role during the pathogenesis of human labor, both in term and preterm deliveri...
Unhealthy lifestyles, environment, well-being and health capability in rural ne...
Azul, Anabela Marisa; Almendra, Ricardo; Quatorze, Marta; Loureiro, Adriana; Reis, Flávio; Tavares, Rui; Mota-Pinto, Anabela; Cunha, António; Rama, LuísBackground: Non-communicable diseases are a leading cause of health loss worldwide, in part due to unhealthy lifestyles. Metabolic-based diseases are rising with an unhealthy body-mass index (BMI) in rural areas as the main risk factor in adults, which may be amplified by wider determinants of health. Changes in rural environments reflect the need of better understanding the factors affecting the self-ability f...

Nogueira, Helena; Padez, Cristina; Rodrigues, Daniela; Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides M.; Mota-Pinto, Anabela; Muc, MagdalenaFrom 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies wi...

Mobilidade e segurança em contexto urbano: contributos para a redução do risco ...
Nossa, Paulo Nuno; Mota-Pinto, AnabelaO futuro da população mundial é urbano. Mais de metade da população mundial vive em áreas urbanas pelo que, a urbanização, determina a distribuição espacial da população constituindo uma das quatro megatendências demográficas, conjuntamente com o crescimento da população mundial [regional], o envelhecimento e as migrações internacionais (UN (d), 2019, p. 3).
