Interindividual variability in energy intake and expenditure during a weight lo...
Nunes, Catarina L.; Jesus, Filipe; Rosa, Gil B.; Marianito, Mariana; Francisco, Ruben; Bosy-Westphal, Anja; Minderico, Cláudia; Martins, Paulo JorgeIntroduction: Behavioral compensations may occur as a response to a negative energy balance. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between changes in energy intake (EI) and changes in physical activity (PA, min/day; kcal/d) as a response to a weight loss (WL) intervention and to understand if interindividual differences occur in EI and energy expenditure (EE). Methods: Eighty-one participants [m...
The bioelectrical impedance analysis [BIA] international database: aims, scope,...
Silva, Analiza M; Campa, Francesco; Stagi, Silvia; Gobbo, Luís A.; Buffa, Roberto; Toselli, Stefania; Silva, Diego Augusto SantosBackground: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and non-invasive, and is currently used globally in diverse settings, including private clinicians' offices, sports and health clubs, and hospitals, and across a spectrum of age, body weight, and disease states. BIA parameters ca...
Food reward associations with motivational eating behavior traits and body mass...
Carraça, Eliana V.; Nunes, Catarina L.; Santos, Inês; Finlayson, Graham; Silva, Analiza MBackground: Motivational eating behavior traits (i.e. eating motivations and intuitive eating) have an important role in body weight regulation, as do food reward processes. Their associations might help explain different responses to food stimulus in the current environment but have never been explored. This study's primary goal was to investigate food reward associations with eating motivations, intuitive eat...
Effectiveness of a lifestyle weight-loss intervention targeting inactive former...
Silva, Analiza M; Nunes, Catarina L.; Jesus, Filipe; Francisco, Ruben; Matias, Catarina N.; Cardoso, Miguel; Santos, Inês; Carraça, Eliana V.Objectives: Many athletes struggle in managing the end of their career, often gaining weight and adopting unhealthy lifestyles. Lifestyle programmes targeting former athletes who have gained substantial fat mass (FM) postsports career are lacking. We studied the effects of the Champ4Life programme on body composition and other health-related outcomes in former elite athletes with overweight or obesity. Methods:...
Changes in food reward and intuitive eating after weight loss and maintenance i...
Nunes, Catarina L.; Carraça, Eliana V.; Jesus, Filipe; Finlayson, Graham; Francisco, Ruben; Silva, Marlene N.; Santos, Inês; Bosy‐Westphal, AnjaObjective: This study aimed to explore the following: 1) the impact of Champ4Life's intervention on intuitive eating and food reward; and 2) associations between changes in eating behavior and changes in body composition. Methods: A total of 94 former athletes (mean [SD], BMI = 31.1 [4.3] kg/m2 , age = 43.0 [9.4] years, 34% female) assigned to intervention (n = 49) and control groups (n = 45) underwent 4 months...
Effects of Ramadan and non-Ramadan intermittent fasting on body composition: a ...
Correia, Joana Margarida; Santos, Inês; Pezarat-Correia, Pedro; Silva, Analiza M; Vilhena De Mendonca, GoncaloIntermittent fasting (IF) has gained popularity for body-composition improvement purposes. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the effects of Ramadan vs. non-Ramadan IF on parameters of body composition. We conducted a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed articles in three electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (published until May 2020). Studies were selected...
Champ4life study protocol: a one-year randomized controlled trial of a lifestyl...
Silva, Analiza M; Nunes, Catarina L.; Matias, Catarina N.; Jesus, Filipe; Francisco, Ruben; Cardoso, Miguel; Santos, Inês; Carraça, Eliana V.Preventive and educational programs directed to former elite athletes in the areas of healthy living are required. This is particularly relevant as obesity and health-related problems are observed in retired athletes, especially in those whose current levels of physical activity are below the recommendations. During their sports career, elite athletes are supported by a multidisciplinary team; upon retirement, ...
Neck circumference is associated with adipose tissue content in thigh skeletal ...
Tellez, Maria Jose Arias; Silva, Analiza M; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Martins, Sandra S.; Palmeira, António Labisa; Branco, Teresa; Minderico, CláudiaNeck circumference (NC) has been proposed as a simple and practical tool, independently associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. However, the association of NC with inter-muscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is still to be determined. We aimed to examine the association of NC with thigh IMAT, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) measured with computed tomography (CT) in overweight/obese women. 142 premenopausal ove...
Prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity in a representative sa...
Sardinha, Luís B; Santos, Diana A; Silva, Analiza M; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J; Raimundo, Armando M; Moreira, Helena; Santos, Rute; Vale, SusanaThis study determined the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity in the Portuguese adults and examined the relationship between above mentioned prevalences and educational level. Body mass, stature, and waist circumference were measured in a representative sample of the Portuguese population aged 18-103 years (n = 9,447; 18-64 years: n = 6,908; ≥ 65 years: n = 2,539). Overweight and obesity co...
