Can culinary processing impact the lipid content and fatty acid profile of turb...
Fiorin, A.; Marques, A.; Silva, A. F.; Castro, C.; Moreira, P.; Padrão, P.; Valente, L. M. P.Background: Fish are the main source of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as EPA and DHA, which are known to be beneficial for human health [1,2]. However, thermal culinary processing may cause lipid oxidation and reduce its nutritional value [1]. Objective: This study aims to compare the lipid nutritional value of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) muscle before and after culinary process...
The association between 25(OH)D levels, frailty status and obesity indices in o...
Sousa-Santos, A.; Afonso, C.; Santos, A.; Borges, N.; Moreira, P.; Padrão, P.; Fonseca, Isabel; Amaral, T.Background: Vitamin D deficiency is common in older adults and has been linked with frailty and obesity, but it remains to be studied whether frail obese older adults are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the association between frailty, obesity indices and serum 25(OH)D concentrations. Methods: 1447 individuals with 65 years or older, participating in a cros...
Strong spatial inequalities in the nutrition status of elderly (Portugal)
Oliveira , Carla Maria; Magalhães, Bruna; Alves, Sandra; Romano, João; Afonso, C.; Moreira, P.; Padrão, P.; Santos, A.; Borges, N.; Amaral, T. F.Within Nutrition UP 65 study nutritional health problems of the elderly Portuguese population were described, but it of major relevance to identify target vulnerable groups for public health interventions. This analysis aims to identify clusters of priority intervention in the improvement of the nutritional deficit in this population.
Impact of a school-based intervention to promote fruit intake: a cluster random...
Rosário, R.; Araújo, A.; Padrão, P.; Lopes, O.; Moreira, A.; Abreu, S.; Vale, S.; Pereira, B.; Moreira, P.Objective: There is evidence that fruit consumption among school children is below the recommended levels. This study aims to examine the effects of a dietary education intervention program me, held by teachers previously trained in nutrition, on the consumption of fruit as a dessert at lunch and dinner, among children 6-12 years old. Study design: This is a randomized trial with the schools as the unit of rand...
Beverages intake and hydration status in adolescents
Gonçalves, C.; Padrão, P.; Abreu, S.; Graça, P.; Moreira, P.Introduction: Type and quantity of beverages intake among adolescents may influence their hydration status. Objective: To evaluate the association between hydration status assessed by Free Water Reserve (FWR) and consumption of 5 types of beverages (water, milk, soft drinks, fruit juices and hot beverages). Conclusions: In this sample of participants, euhydrated adolescents ingest more water and hot beverages t...
Hydration status using free water reserve in Portuguese adolescents
Gonçalves, C.; Padrão, P.; Abreu, S.; Graça, Pedro; Santos, R.; Moreira, P.Introduction: Few data is available about the hydration status of active adolescents in free living conditions. Cell dehydration may be prevalent in healthy, free-living children at school and they could be in a state of chronic voluntary dehydration. Objective: This study aims to describe hydration status assessed by Free Water Reserve (FWR) in adolescents. Method: Two hundred participants (118 girls), aged 13...
Association between energy density and diet cost in children
Faria, A. P.; Moreira, P.; Rosário, Rafaela; Araujo, A.; Albuquerque, G.; Teixeira, V.; Barros, R.; Lopes, O.; Moreira, A.; Padrão, P.� 2016 PBJ-Associa��o Porto Biomedical/Porto Biomedical Society. Background: Lower energy density diets tend to cost more, but data using different ways to calculate the dietary energy density, is scarce. Objectives: To estimate the dietary energy density, and to assess how it is associated with the diet cost in children. Methods: Data were obtained from a community-based survey from public elementary sch...
