Results: Search for respiratory symptoms in a...
CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVE COMMUTING TO SCHOOL
Burgos,Miria Suzana; Tornquist,Debora; Tornquist,Luciana; Reuter,Cézane Priscila; Garcia,Edna Linhares; Renner,Jane Dagmar PolloABSTRACT Objective: To verify if there is an association between cardiometabolic risk factors and active daily commuting to school among children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 1,743 schoolchildren aged 7 to 17 years old were evaluated in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul (RS). The way of commuting to school was investigated with a questionnaire, and the cardiometabolic risk factors analyzed were body mass in...
FTO POLYMORPHISM AND PHYSICAL FITNESS IN OBESE SCHOOLCHILDREN AFTER AN INTERVEN...
Moraes,Greice Graziela; Reuter,Cézane Priscila; Klinger,Elisa Inês; Prá,Daniel; Valim,Andréia Rosane de Moura; Burgos,Miria SuzanaABSTRACT Introduction: Recent studies have shown that the association of FTO rs9939609 gene polymorphism with obesity depends on the level of the individual’s physical activity. However, there are some studies that evaluated physical fitness, health, and motor performance in relation to the rs9939609 FTO gene polymorphism. Objective: To evaluate how the rs9939609 FTO gene polymorphism affects the results of phy...
Tuberculosis among prison staff in Rio Grande do Sul
Busatto,Caroline; Nunes,Luciana de Souza; Valim,Andréia Rosane de Moura; Valença,Mariana Soares; Krug,Suzane Frantz; Becker,DanielaABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the risk of infection and illness caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis among health care and security staff in prisons in two regions of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Method: cross-sectional study involving prison staff. An interview and sputum smear microscopy and culture were performed. Latent infection was evaluated according to the result of the tuberculin test (TT), self-referred....
Dyslipidemia is Associated with Unfit and Overweight-Obese Children and Adolesc...
Reuter,Cézane Priscila; Silva,Priscila Tatiana da; Renner,Jane Dagmar Pollo; Mello,Elza Daniel de; Valim,Andréia Rosane de Moura; Pasa,LuizaAbstract Background: Both poor aerobic fitness and obesity, separately, are associated with abnormal lipid profiles. Objective: To identify possible relationships of dyslipidemia with cardiorespiratory fitness and obesity, evaluated together, in children and adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1,243 children and adolescents (563 males and 680 females) between 7 and 17 years of age from 19 ...

Todendi,Pâmela Ferreira; Valim,Andréia Rosane de Moura; Reuter,Cézane Priscila; Mello,Elza Daniel de; Gaya,Anelise Reis; Burgos,Miria SuzanaAbstract Objective Verify the association between metabolic risk profile in students with different levels of cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index, as well as the nutritional status of their parents. Methods A cross-sectional study comprising 1.254 schoolchildren aged between seven and 17 years. The metabolic risk profile was calculated by summing the standardized values of high density lipoproteins an...
Association between overweight and obesity in schoolchildren with rs9939609 pol...
Reuter,Cézane Priscila; Burgos,Miria Suzana; Bernhard,Joana Carolina; Tornquist,Debora; Klinger,Elisa Inês; Borges,Tássia SilvanaAbstract Objective: To determine the association between overweight/obesity in schoolchildren with FTO rs9939609 polymorphism (fatmass and obesity associated) and family history of obesity. Methods: Cross-sectional study comprising a sample of 406 children aged 7-17 years in a city in southern Brazil. Overweight/obesity in schoolchildren was assessed by body mass index (BMI), and family history of obesity was s...
Obesity parameters as predictors of early development of cardiometabolic risk f...
Burgos,Miria Suzana; Reuter,Cézane Priscila; Possuelo,Lia Gonçalves; Valim,Andréia Rosane de Moura; Renner,Jane Dagmar Pollo; Tornquist,LucianaAbstractThe scope of this study was to verify the association between different overweight and obesity parameters and the metabolic risk profile among school-age students. The randomized cross-sectional study included 1254 children and adolescents, aged 7 to 17, from a city in southern Brazil. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and percentage of fat (PF), measured at the triceps and based on subsca...
