Weight loss in patients with severe obesity after bariatric surgery–the potenti...
Rodrigues, J; Magalhães, V; Santos, MP; Reis, C; Pichel, F; Soares, P; Santos, J; Vilela, SBackground: 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...
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysi...
Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...
Urban Green Spaces, Greenness Exposure and Species Richness in Residential Envi...
Melo, J; Ribeiro, AI; Aznar, S; Pizarro, A; Santos, MPEnvironmental factors play an important role in obesity-related behaviors. Evidence indicates significant associations between weight and urban green spaces in adults, but it is not clear whether this relationship applies to adolescents. Therefore, our aim was to determine the associations between urban green spaces, greenness exposure and species richness in residential environments with physical activity and ...
The effect of impact exercise on bone mineral density: A longitudinal study on ...
Simões, D; Craveiro, V; Santos, MP; Camões, M; Pires, B; Ramos, EPurpose High impact exercise is known to induce osteogenic effects in the skeleton. However, less is known about the systemic effect of exercise practice in a potential adaptive mechanism of the skeletal accrual. This research aimed to assess the effect of impact exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) in the radius throughout adolescence. Methods This study evaluated 1137 adolescents, at 13 and 17 years old, as...
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents...
Horimoto, AR; Hormiga, CM; Horta, BL; Houti, L; Howitt, C; Htay, TT; Htet, AS; Htike, MMT; Hu, Y; Huerta, JM; Huhtaniemi, IT; Huidumac Petrescu, CBackground: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. Methods: For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors colla...
Stepwise strategy to improve cervical cancer screening adherence (SCAN-Cervical...
Firmino-Machado, J; Varela, S; Mendes, R; Moreira, A; Lunet, N; Carmo, A; Cancela, A; Firmino, A; Ramos, A; Teixeira, A; Vieira, A; Badim, B; Tojal, CThe aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of invitation to cervical cancer screening through a very low-cost strategy based on automated and customized text messages, phone calls and reminders. A randomized (1:1) controlled trial was conducted among 13 Portuguese primary care units, recruiting women aged 25 to 49 years, eligible for cervical cancer screening, with an available mobile phone number.
