“…This constitutes the largest group of people with special educational needs (Ministry of Education, 2022). Few studies have examined physical self-perception of people with ID depending on their percent body fat (Bertapelli et al, 2022) or Body Mass Index. The studies suggest that adolescents and young adults with overweight or obesity usually present lower levels of general and physical self-esteem than those with underweight or normal weight (Bégarie et al, 2011;Maïano, 2011).…”

Múltiples estudios han abordado la insatisfacción corporal en los últimos años por su relevante relación con los trastornos dismórficos corporales y de la alimentación. Sin embargo, falta investigación sobre la insatisfacción corporal en personas con discapacidad intelectual. El estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el nivel de insatisfacción con la imagen corporal en personas con discapacidad intelectual leve y moderada. La investigación cualitativa se aplicó en dos momentos diferentes (estudios 1 y 2). La primera entrevista (estudio 1) estuvo compuesta por 32 preguntas semiestructuradas y se aplicó a 26 participantes (16 mujeres y 10 hombres) quienes respondieron si se sentían cómodos o incómodos con la apariencia de su cuerpo. Se realizó una segunda sesión (estudio 2) con los siete participantes (5 hombres y 2 mujeres) que manifestaron insatisfacción corporal en el estudio 1. La segunda entrevista estaba compuesta por 24 preguntas centradas en los aspectos conductuales relacionados con dicha insatisfacción. Se identificaron seis temas relacionados con: imagen corporal, ambiente, medios de comunicación en el estudio 1; y dieta, conductas de verificación y actividad física en el estudio 2. En general, se encontró que los participantes tenían una identidad corporal establecida y aceptada en el estudio 1. sin embargo, en el estudio 2, la mayoría querían cambiar la forma de su cuerpo para volverse “más delgados” o “más musculosos” bajo el prisma del Modelo de Influencia Tripartita.

Context Most articles on gut microbiota argue the importance of body composition assessment in patients; however, body composition assessments are fragile (ie, with methodological limitations) in the most recent studies. Objective To present two suggestions for further research using the human body composition assessment. Methods The methods used in this study are based on a Pinto et al article published in Nutrition Reviews. Data extraction On the basis of data obtained from the PubMed, SCOPUS, LILACS, and Web of Science databases, Pinto et al provided a current survey of intermittent fasting protocols and an understanding of the outcomes to date in terms of the profile of the intestinal microbiota in obese organisms. Data analysis Of the 82 original articles identified from the databases, 35 were eliminated because of duplication and 32 were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria. Two additional articles found in a new search were added, yielding a total of 17 studies to be included in this review. Among the protocols, alternate-day fasting and time-restricted feeding were the most common, and they were shown to have different mechanisms of metabolic signaling. Time-restricted feeding influences body mass control and biochemical parameters by regulating the circadian system and improving satiety control systems by acting on leptin secretion. In contrast, alternate-day fasting leads to a reduction of ±75% of all energy consumption regardless of dietary composition, in addition to promoting hormonal adjustments that promote body mass control. Furthermore, both protocols could remodel the intestinal microbiota by changing the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio and increasing the abundance of strains such as Lactobacillus spp. and Akkermansia that have a protective effect on metabolism against the effects of body mass gain. Conclusion Changes in adipose tissue (eg, body mass loss, control, gain) should be interpreted via the sum of skinfolds in absolute values, waist perimeter, and patients' body proportionality, because fat is just a fraction of the adipocyte (lipid).
