Prevalence of Parental Violent Discipline Toward Children: Findings From A Port...
Abrahamyan, A; Soares, S; Fraga, S; Barros, HDespite recognizing the detrimental impact of parental violence on children’s mental and physical health throughout their lives, violence remains an all-too-real part of life for many children around the globe. However, data on the child-reported prevalence of experienced family violence are scarce and primarily based on parental reports. This study aimed to broaden the body of evidence and measure the lifetime...

Exploring geographical influences on physicochemical characteristics of honey: ...
Soares, S; Magalhaes, L; Moreira, MM; Rede, D; Fernandes, VC; Viegas, Olga; Pinto, E; Agostinho Almeida; Azevedo, R; Delerue-Matos, CObjectives In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the global consumption of honey, driven by the high demand for natural products that offer health benefits. Consequently, consumers show a preference for honey, recognised for its superior quality, namely honey with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or honey produced in protected areas, as it is associated with superior attributes and ch...
Comparison of Cardiovascular Health Profiles Across Population Surveys From 5 H...
Ware, L; Vermeulen, B; Maposa, I; Flood, D; Brant, LCC; Khandelwal, S; Singh, K; Soares, S; Jessen, N; Perman, G; Riaz, BK; Sachdev, HS; Allen, NBBackground: To facilitate the shift from risk-factor management to primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease, the American Heart Association developed guidelines to score and track cardiovascular health (CVH). How the prevalence and trajectories of a high level of CVH across the life course compare among high- and lower-income countries is unknown. Methods: Nationally representative survey data with CVH v...
New Insights into pH-dependent Complex Formation between Lignosulfonates and An...
Pereira, AR; Bravo, C; Ramos, RM; Carina Costa; Rodrigues, A; de Freitas, V; Mateus, N; Dias, R; Soares, S; Joana OliveiraAnthocyanins have limited application as natural colorants and antioxidants due to their color loss and instability under certain conditions. This research explores the formation of a complex between lignosulfonates (LS) and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) using a multitechnique approach as well as the effect on C3G ' s red color, oxidative stability, and antioxidant activity in acidic mediums. All data revealed p...
Bullying Involvement and Physical Pain Between Ages 10 and 13 Years: Reported H...
Lucas, R; Talih, M; Soares, S; Fraga, SWe aimed to quantify the prospective association between bullying and physical pain in a population-based cohort of adolescents. We assessed 4,049 participants of the 10 and 13 years waves of the Generation XXI birth cohort study in Portugal. Pain history was collected using the Luebeck pain screening questionnaire. A subsample of 1,727 adolescents underwent computerized cuff pressure algometry to estimate pain...
First Insight into Lignin Valorization as a Promising Biopolymer for the Modula...
Pereira, AR; Brandao, E; Pinto, J; de Pinho, PG; Carina Costa; Rodrigues, AE; Michelin, M; Soares, S; de Freitas, V; Mateus, N; Oliveira, JLignosulfonate (LS), kraft lignin (KL), and organosolv lignin (OL) were evaluated as potential modulating agents of the physicochemical properties of Port wine at two different concentrations for 7 and 30 days. KL and LS demonstrated the ability to remove proteins and potentiate the anthocyanin concentration. LS reduced the tannin content and the interaction of salivary acidic proline-rich proteins with wine ph...
Life-course socio-economic status and its impact on functional health of Portug...
Henriques, A; Ruano, L; Fraga, S; Soares, S; Barros, H; Talih, MFunctional health is arguably one of the most important health indicators for older adults, because it assesses physical, cognitive and social functions in combination. However, life-course circumstances may impact this multidimensional construct. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between life-course socio-economic status (SES) and different dimensions of functional health in older adu...
The Interaction Effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Socioeconomic Circu...
Abrahamyan, A; Severo, M; Soares, S; Fraga, S; Amorim, M"Purpose Limited research has examined the combined effects of psychosocial and material adversities experienced in childhood during adolescence, a sensitive period of rapid social, emotional, and cognitive development. We investigated the interaction effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and socioeconomic circumstances (SECs) during childhood on emerging self-reported depressive symptomatology among 1...
Comparison of cardiovascular health profiles across population surveys from fiv...
Ware, L; Vermeulen, B; Maposa, I; Floo, D; Brant, LC; Khandelwal, S; Singh, K; Soares, S; Jessen, N; Perman, G; Riaz, BK; Sachdev, HS; Allen, NBAims With the greatest burden of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality increasingly observed in lower-income countries least prepared for this epidemic, focus is widening from risk factor management alone to primordial prevention to maintain high levels of cardiovascular health (CVH) across the life course. To facilitate this, the American Heart Association (AHA) developed CVH scoring guidelines to eva...
