RUN-UP study: an interdisciplinarity cross-sectional study
Almeida, Gabriela; Gonçalves, Bruno; Figueira, Bruno; Luz, Carlos; Cruz, Dulce; Veiga, Guida; Dores, Helder; Folgado, Hugo; Marmeleira, JoséMotor competence (MC) is positively associated with several aspects of health (i.e., physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and healthy weight status (WS)). In turn, PA and WS are important to MC. From a health perspective, promoting PA in children is an effective strategy for children struggling with overweight and obesity, with MC being identified as foundational f...
Run Up Study Ferramenta educativa e lúdica para estilos de vida saudáveis
Almeida, Gabriela; Gonçalves, Bruno; Figueira, Bruno; Luz, Carlos; Cruz, Dulce; Veiga, Guida; Dores, Hélder; Folgado, Hugo; Castela, Inês; Timóteo, InêsNum tempo em que são cada vez mais evidentes os desafios relacionados com a saúde e o bem-estar infantil, nomeadamente o aumento dos índices de obesidade, a redução da atividade física e da compe- tência motora, o tempo excessivo em frente aos ecrãs, as dificuldades no sono e os sinais de perturbações emocionais, torna-se urgente agir. Foi neste contexto que nasceu o projeto RUN UP, uma iniciativa científica e ...
A digital tool for self-reporting cardiovascular risk factors: the RADICAL study
Ferreira Santos, José; Castela, Inês; Madeira, Sara Alexandra Gamboa; Furtado, Sofia; Vieira Pereira, Hugo; Teixeira, Diana; Dores, HélderAims: Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Risk stratification and early interventions are essential to overcome this reality. The RADICAL Study ( R isk A ssessment via D igital I nput for C ardiovascular A nd L ifestyle Factors) aimed to evaluate the prevalence of self-reported cardiovascular risk factors in individuals without known cardiovascular disease using a digital tool. ...
Skeletal maturity in adolescence: evaluating bone development and age metrics
Pinheiro, João; Ribeiro, Luís; Teixeira, Diana; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel JoãoBackground/Objectives: Bone maturation and development are crucial for growth and development, especially in children and adolescents; however, some qualitative methods, such as Greulich & Pyle, do not provide accurate data. Our aim is to verify whether skeletal age (SA) can predict and correlate with bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition (BC). Methods: A cross-sectional s...

Carvalhais, Carlos; Teixeira, Diana; Santos, JoanaHand hygiene practice by using alcohol-based hand sanitizers was generalized in all sectors of activity, due the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to organize and analyze the scientific data regarding occupational exposure to hand sanitizers, with a particular focus on their use and health effects on workplace settings. (2) A rapid literature review was carried out searching on the main scientific da...
Brominated flame retardants effect in MCF-7 cells: Impact on vitamin D pathway
Sousa, Sara; Maia, Maria Luz; Pestana, Diogo; Teixeira, Diana; Ângelo-Dias, Miguel; Martins, Catarina; Borrego, Luís Miguel; Delerue-Matos, CristinaBrominated flame retardants (BFRs) are persistent environmental pollutants, allowing a constant human exposure which carries several health risks, including the occurrence of breast cancer and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D inhibits cell growth and is negatively associated with breast cancer risk. The effect of BFRs in breast cancer and vitamin D pathway is still poorly understood. MCF-7 cells were treated wit...
Impact of brominated flame retardants on lipid metabolism: An in vitro approach
Maia, Maria Luz; Sousa, Sara; Pestana, Diogo; Faria, Ana; Teixeira, Diana; Delerue-Matos, Cristina; Domingues, Valentina; Calhau, ConceiçãoBrominated flame retardants (BFRs) are chemicals employed to lower the flammability of several objects. These endocrine disruptor chemicals are lipophilic and persistent in the environment. Due to these characteristics some have been restricted or banned by the European Union, and replaced by several new chemicals, the novel BFRs (NBFRs). BFRs are widely detected in human samples, such as adipose tissue and som...
