Rodrigues, M; de Castro Mendes, F; Padrão, Patrícia; Delgado, L; Paciência, I; Barros, Renata; Rufo, JC; Silva, D; Moreira, André; Moreira, Pedro<jats:p>There seems to exist an intricate relationship between airway inflammation, body mass index (BMI), and diet. The intake of specific foods or food groups has been suggested to suppress the oxidative stress and inflammatory processes that characterize airway inflammation, but little is known about dietary patterns and their complex interplay with BMI and airway inflammation. Therefore, this cross-sectiona...
The Influence of Eating at Home on Dietary Diversity and Airway Inflammation in...
de Castro Mendes, F; Cunha, P; Paciencia, I; Rufo, JC; Farraia, M; Silva, D; Padrão, Patrícia; Delgado, L; Moreira, André; Moreira, PedroConsidering the negative impact of a lack of dietary diversity on children's nutritional status, we aimed to describe dietary variety according to eating at home frequency and assessed its association with respiratory outcomes in school-aged children. This cross-sectional study included 590 children (49% girls) aged 7 to 12 years from 20 public schools located in city of Porto, Portugal. Daily frequency of eati...
