“…Previous study performed in Aracaju-Se revealed similar findings, to the extent that evidenced the insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables among adolescents. Moreover, the insufficiently active behavior was related to the inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables 28 , as observed in this study. Research performed in two cities of Rio Grande do Sul reported similar consumption of soft drinks between obese and non-obese 29 .…”

Abstract:Introduction: Brazil is going through a nutritional transition, which is observed decrease in malnutrition and increased excess weight. Objetive: To evaluate the nutritional status and lifestyle of school children and adolescents from 4 to 17 years old resident in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. Methods: This is a longitudinal study performed in two stages. The first stage took place during the School Health Program and anthropometric data were collected from 975 schoolchildren. In the second stage, it was used a questionnaire to assess lifestyle and diet. Participants were classified into "not overweight" and "overweight". The significant level for the statistical tests was set at 5%.Results: In the first stage, less than 2% of students had low height for age. The prevalence of overweight and malnutrition was 22.15% and 5.23%, respectively. Of the 134 participants of the second stage, 47.76% were not overweight and 52.24% overweight. Regarding the lifestyle, the not overweight group had a higher percentage of insufficiently active members (p = 0.017) and a lower intake of vegetables and salads (p=0.015). Conclusion:The results revealed low short stature in the population studied and overweight was more prevalent than malnutrition. Children and adolescents had sedentary habits that associated with inappropriate dietary practices favor the occurrence of overweight.

“…Furthermore, we found that physically inactive students had 45% higher odds of consuming fewer vegetables than active students. A recent study from Brazil has also shown that adolescents who were insufficiently active had a 50% higher chance of consuming fewer vegetables than those who were active (Silva and Silva 2015). This suggests that inactive students have other unhealthy eating behaviors that can increase their risk for NCDs.…”

Background Two important components of a healthy diet are fruits and vegetables (F&V), which are essential for maintaining physical health. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and correlates of F&V intake among high school adolescents in the city of Tabriz. Methods The Global School-based Student Health Survey self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection among 1517 adolescents. Results The prevalence of fruit intake was 76.1% (≥ 2 times/day) and vegetable intake 23% (≥ 3 times/day). Being at the third level of high school and having sedentary behavior, low intake of vegetables, low or lack of parental support, lack of peer support and lack of enough food at home were significantly associated with low consumption of fruit among students. Also, being overweight or obese and having low intake of fruit, low or lack of peer support, and being physically inactive were significantly associated with low intake of vegetables. Conclusion Results suggest that interventions targeting personal, interpersonal and environmental factors for increased F&V consumption should be given more priority by the public health authorities.

“…Our first hypothesis stated that a positive diet change would be observed due to pedometer-metered walking, which would be demonstrated as increased fruit intake rather than decreased fruit intake. Previous studies have shown that inadequate PA is associated with low fruit intake (Hahn et al, 2014;D. Silva & R. Silva, 2015).…”

Background and Purpose: Positive effects of pedometer-metered steps and motivation on body composition have not been documented in healthy adults. This study determined the effects of: 1) 4- weeks of pedometer-metered walking and steps on body composition, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood pressure (BP), diet changes, waist-to-hip ratios (WHR), and 2) daily motivation on step count. Methods: For 4-weeks, participants (n=29, 24 ± 3.8yo) wore a pedometer and recorded daily steps. Subjects were randomized into two groups: 1) daily motivational quotes (MQ) (n=19) to determine changes in step counts and 2) a control group (no MQ). Measurements were performed baseline, at study end; and 3 randomized 3-day diet records were collected. Results: Waist and hip circumference decreased significantly (p=0.002 & p=0.03) in both groups and decreased fat free mass (FFM) approached significance (p=0.06). Decreased fruit intake was observed in the second (p=0.007) and third (p=0.023) diet records. Conclusion: Motivation did not increase steps or changes in FBG and BP. However, WHR decreased in both groups suggesting that 4-weeks of pedometer walking results in positive abdominal changes. Additional longer-term studies are needed to examine these physical changes as well as investigate the decreased fruit intake.
