Estimated dietary flavonoid intake and major food contributors in the Portugues...
Martins, S; Meireles, M; Caetano, E; Correia, D; Carvalho, C; Silva, CC; Magalhaes, V; Vilela, S; Lopes, C; Torres, DuarteFlavonoids are a key class of polyphenols, i.e., phytochemical compounds present in foods and beverages, which have been described as having health benefits in preventing several chronic diseases. Estimating flavonoid intake has already been conducted in several countries but has yet to be performed in Portugal. This study included 5005 participants aged 3-84 years and aimed to estimate dietary flavonoid intake...

Ling, FCM; Khudair, M; Ng, K; Tempest, GD; Peric, R; Bartoš, F; Maier, M; Brandes, M; Carlin, A; Ciaccioni, S; Cortis, C; Corvino, C; Di Credico, APrevious physical activity interventions for children (5-12yrs) have aimed to change determinants associated with self-report physical activity behaviour (PAB) and/or sedentary behaviour (SB), however, the associations between these determinants and PAB/SB in different settings are uncertain. The present study aimed to identify modifiable determinants targeted in previous PAB/SB interventions for children. Inte...
Sleep duration is associated with appetitive traits in school-age years - resul...
Pereira, R; Costa, A; Warkentin, S; Vilela, S; Oliveira, ASleep may influence appetite regulation through physiological and neurocognitive pathways. However, the association between sleep and appetite in childhood has been scarcely reported, particularly using a prospective design. We aimed to test associations between sleep duration at 7 years of age (y) and appetitive traits at both 7 and 10 y. Participants are from the population-based cohort Generation XXI (Porto,...
Development of a healthy lifestyle assessment index for school-age children
Faria, B; Pinto da Costa, M; Vilela, SIntroduction: Assessing children's lifestyles is fundamental for developing policies that prevent the onset of non-communicable diseases. Objectives: To develop a short lifestyle index for school-age children (6 to 9 years old) and assess their lifestyle characterization. Methodology: The index was developed based on data from the 7-year follow-up of the birth cohort Generation XXI (n=4336 children), grouped in...

Khudair, M; Marcuzzi, A; Tempest, GD; Ng, K; Peric, R; Bartoš, F; Maier, M; Brandes, M; Carlin, A; Ciaccioni, S; Cortis, C; Corvino, C; di Credico, ABackground: To combat the high prevalence of physical inactivity among children, there is an urgent need to develop and implement real-world interventions and policies that promote physical activity (PA) and reduce sedentary behaviour (SB). To inform policy makers, the current body of evidence for children’s PA/SB interventions needs to be translated. Objectives: The current systematic review and meta-analysis ...
Temporal patterns of energy intake and physical activity and cross-sectional as...
Cardoso, S; Sanches, I; Correia, D; Vilela, STemporal energy intake (EI) and physical activity (PA) patterns may be associated with obesity. We aimed to derive and characterise temporal EI and PA patterns and assess their cross-sectional association with weight status in participants aged 6-14 years from the Portuguese National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey 2015-2016. We extracted times and EI of all eating occasions from two 1-day food dia...
Patterns of ultra-processed foods consumption throughout childhood and trajecto...
Magalhães, V; Severo, M; Vilela, S; Torres, D; Lopes, CBackground & aims: Ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption has been associated with unhealthy outcomes. However, the literature lacks robust longitudinal studies considering its cumulative effect, particularly in young populations. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between UPF consumption patterns throughout childhood with growth and adiposity trajectories. Methods: Generation XXI population-based b...
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...
Socioeconomic and household framework influences in school-aged children's eati...
dos Santos Leal, K; Pinto da Costa, M; Vilela, SMaternal influences on children's diet have been widely studied, while paternal and household frameworks require further research. This study aimed to evaluate how individual, socioeconomic and household characteristics at birth and 7 years (y) impact children's fruit and vegetable (FV) and energy-dense foods (EDF) intake at 10y, distinguishing maternal and paternal effects. The sample included 2750 children ev...
