title: School menus in Santa Catarina: Evaluation with respect to the National School Food Program regulations

description: OBJECTIVE: To assess compliance of school menu planning with the National School Food Program's regulations. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed 133 menus for 542 schools in 49 municipalities of the state of Santa Catarina. The menus were assessed according to the National School Food Program's regulations, the "Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population" and the "Qualitative Evaluation of Menu Components for Schools". The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Nearly all (98.5%) municipalities met the requirement of technical responsibility for menu development and 81.0% acquired foods from family farms. The menus contained fruits (87.2%) and non-starchy vegetables (94.0%), but the frequencies of fruits and non-starchy vegetables were smaller than two to three times a week. The most common high-sodium and high-fat foods were commercially processed meats (53.0%), but their frequency was smaller than once a week. Likewise, the frequencies of beverages (natural fruit juice, coffee, and tea) were smaller than once a week. Most menus (85.1%) repeated foods during the week, and only 3.0% of the menus listed organic foods. CONCLUSION: Some school menus from Santa Catarina need to be revised with respect to the frequency of fruits and non-starchy vegetables, high-sugar foods, high-sodium foods, and high-fat foods, and need to increase food diversity and variety.

title: Can self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and internalization of the thinness ideal influence risk behaviors for eating disorders?

description: OBJETIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and internalization of the thin ideal on disordered eating female adolescents. METHODS: Four hundred and seventy one adolescents participated in this research. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Body Shape Questionnaire, and the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 were used to assess self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and internalization of the thin ideal, respectively. The Eating Attitudes Test subscales were used to evaluate eating disorder risk behavior. RESULTS: The results indicated influence of the Body Shape Questionnaire (p&lt;0.05) and Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 scores (p&lt;0.05) on all subscales of the Eating Attitudes Test. In contrast, the findings did not show any significant influence of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale on the Eating Attitudes Test subscales scores (p&gt;0.05). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that body dissatisfaction and internalization of the thin ideal influence eating disorder risk behavior in female adolescents; the same behavior was not observed for self-esteem.

title: Adherence to the "10 steps to a healthy diet for children" and associated factors in schoolchildren

description: OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of adherence to the "10 Steps to Healthy Eating for Children" and associated factors in schoolchildren. METHODS: The present study had a cross-sectional design and was conducted on 813 first grade students from elementary public schools in São Leopoldo (RS). Data were obtained using a questionnaire completed by mothers/guardians. It consisted of questions about food, physical activity, screen time, and socio-demographic characteristics. The criterion of adherence to every step was defined by the researchers. Pearson's chi-square and linear trends were used to evaluate the factors associated with the frequency of adherence to each step of the recommendations investigated. RESULTS: The average number of steps of the "Healthy Eating for Children" recommendations actually followed was 4.9, and none of the students followed all of the steps. Step 4 (consumption of the beans and rice at least five times/week) showed higher compliance (99.8%), and those involving restrictive measures, such as avoiding fatty foods and fried foods (Step 6) and sweets, soft drinks, and sugar-sweetened beverages (Step 7), showed the least compliance, respectively, 2.1 and 0.0%. Step 10 (be active and have screen time &lt;2 hours/day) also showed low compliance (14.5%). Respondents' (mothers/guardians) higher level of education and higher economic level were positively associated with Step 5 (daily consumption of milk and meat groups). The opposite was observed for Step 2 (daily consumption of cereals, stem tubers, tuberous roots) and for Step 10 (mentioned above). CONCLUSION: This study revealed an unfavorable scenario for the population investigated, which indicates the need for actions by different actors (government, school, family, and fruit, nut, cereal, grain, and vegetable growers), in order to increase the frequency of adherence to the 10 Steps by young students.

title: School Nutrition Councils in Santa Catarina, Brazil: Collective Subject Discourse analysis

description: OBJECTIVE: Identify in the committee members' discourse the understanding of the School Nutrition Councils' functions and the actions taken by their members. METHODS: This is a qualitative study, and data were collected using a questionnaire with semi-structured interviews based on the Focus Groups technique in School Nutrition Councils' in the state of Santa Catarina. A total of nine councils were analyzed (eight municipal councils and one state council). The council members' discourse was recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the Collective Subject Discourse method. RESULTS: Five Collective Subject Discourses' were built and grouped according to the Central Ideas. The advances made by the actions of the School Nutrition Councils' members and their limited ability to intervene in the school nutrition management were observed. The findings corroborate those in the literature with regard to: excessive bureaucracy hindering or preventing council member actions, the understanding the councilors of democratic institutionalized spaces such as social control, and the lack of commitment and representativeness of the members involved. CONCLUSION: Among the topics analyzed, the following should be highlighted: the understanding the role of the School Nutrition Councils in supervising activities; the social control concept, which involves participation in the National School Nutrition Program; and the understanding of this program as a Food and Nutrition Security policy. There is a need for further training and of councilors and the encouragement of democratic participation aiming at greater social representation thus contributing to improve their ability to intervene in the implementation of public policies.

title: The diet quality index evaluates the adequacy of energy provided by dietary macronutrients

description: Objective To investigate the relationship between macronutrient intake adequacy and the national diet quality index score. Methods The study analyzed a representative sample of 1,662 individuals from the municipality of São Paulo who participated in a cross-sectional study called Health Survey-Capital (2008/2009). Two 24-hour recalls were collected. Habitual intake was determined by the Multiple Source Method. The Brazilian index was calculated as suggested, and macronutrient adequacy was given by the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization recommendations. A generalized linear model verified the relationship between the Brazilian index and macronutrient adequacy. All analyses with a descriptive level below 0.05 were considered significant. The analyses were performed by the software Stata 12.0, survey mode. Results The vast majority (91%) of the population had inappropriate macronutrient intakes, and the total median Brazilian index score was 61.3 points (interquartile range=10.1). The total Brazilian index score of individuals with high lipid intake was worse than that of individuals with proper lipid intake (β=0,96; p=0,004), while those with high protein intake had a better score (β=1,10; p=0,003) than those with proper protein intake. Conclusion The revised Brazilian Healthy Eating Index assesses diet quality properly regarding high lipid intake, but it has some limitations regarding high protein intake according to the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization recommendations. New studies should investigate the possibility of adapting this index to the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization recommendations.

title: Aspects of the built environment associated with obesity in children and adolescents: A narrative review

description: OBJECTIVE: To perform a narrative literature review to describe the availability of food retailers (groceries and eateries) and their association with obesity in schoolchildren and adolescents. METHODS: The review included studies published from 2003 to 2013 listed in three databases with data on the child's school and/or home surroundings. RESULTS: There was a higher concentration of fast foods near the schools, especially high schools, public schools, or schools located in low-income regions. Moreover, children and adolescents living in areas further from convenience stores had better diets. CONCLUSION: Acknowledging the relationship between built environment and obesity by establishing scientific evidence is necessary for developing specific strategies that help to control the spread of obesity in this age group, aiming to construct healthier spaces.

title: Oxidative stress and micronutrients in leprosy

description: Objective To determine the oxidative stress and the antioxidant and micronutrient profile of patients with multibacillary and paucibacillary leprosy before polychemotherapeutic treatment. Methods Thirty control samples and fifty-two serum samples from leprosy patients who attended the dermatology outpatient clinic of a public university hospital were analyzed; 38 of them had multibacillary and 14 paucibacillarty. Malondialdehyde, a marker of lipid peroxidation, was determined using the thiobarbituric acid reacting substances assay; the antioxidant reduced glutathione was determined using a method based on the quantification of acid-soluble thiol; the antioxidant vitamin E was determined using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography; the minerals selenium, zinc, copper and magnesium were determined using coupled-mass spectrometry, and the serum phenol I glycolipid antibody was determined using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the variables quantified in the present study between the different groups, and Pearson's correlation analysis was used to verify the association between these variables and the antibody. The significance level was set at p&lt;0.05. Results There was a significant difference in the content of malondialdehyde (p&lt;0.001) and vitamin E (p&lt;0.001) between the groups with multibacillary and paucibacillary leprosy (p=0.495 and p=0.920, respectively) and the control groups. Reduced glutathione levels were higher in the control group compared with those of the group with leprosy (p=0.012) and multibacillary leprosy (p=0.001), but did it not differ from that of the paucibacillary group (p=0.920). Reduced glutathione levels did not differ between the multibacillary and paucibacillary groups (p=0.063) either. All minerals were within normal limits, except for magnesium; magnesium deficiency was detected in all groups studied. No correlation was observed between the anti-phenolic glycolipid I antibody and the remaining variables. Conclusion Paucibacillary patients seem to have more pronounced reduced glutathione antioxidant defense, similar to that of healthy individuals. The low vitamin E levels of leprosy patients suggest the benefits of supplementation. The metabolic changes observed did not demonstrate an association with anti-phenolic glycolipid I serology.

title: Nutrional status and dietary factors in cystic fibrosis patients with delta F508 mutation

description: Objective To examine the association between nutritional status and dietary factors in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis that are carriers of delta F508 mutation. Methods Cross-sectional study of cystic fibrosis children and adolescents. Nutritional status (body mass index percentile) and dietary intake (3-day diet records presented as a percentage of estimated energy requirement) were assessed. Results Thirty six patients (median of 8.6; interquartile range 6.8-12.5 years; 50% male). The Poisson regression analysis showed that the carriers for delta F508 mutation had 60% lower prevalence ratio of body mass index ≥25° (PR=0.4; 95%IC=0.2-0.8) and 90% lower prevalence ratio (PR=0.1; confidence interval 95%IC=0.02-0.3) of ≥150% of estimated energy requirement when compared with non-delta F508 mutation carriers. The model was adjusted for lung function, estimated energy requirement, and body mass index. Conclusion Carriers for delta F508 mutation showed lower body mass index percentile and lower daily caloric consumption when compared with patients without this mutation.
