“…A study conducted in the state of Pernambuco has also found significant association between maternal age and vitamin A deficiency. 28 The reasons for this are not established clearly in literature and this association is not a consensus, although some explanations are associated to the worst maternal nutrition and low socioeconomic status, in addition to the lack of experience of mothers in caring for their children. 29 As well as other deficiencies problems, vitamin A deficiency is associated to socioeconomic factors and more prevalent in less fortunate regions.…”

“…10,19 However, no association was found on income with inadequate levels of retinol in this present study, similar found in other studies. 3,21,26,28 It is likely that the homogeneity displayed by the studied population has made it difficult to identify these statistical associations. In addition, one may speculate that these children remain most of the days in the week at the day care centers, where they receive food and care, the socioeconomic factors role has its influence reduced.…”

“…As carências nutricionais são originárias da desnutrição, fome, pobreza e maus hábitos alimentares, não estando necessariamente ligadas a quantidade de um micronutriente em um alimento específico [69,70] . Deste modo, é mantido um ciclo vicioso já que a própria introdução da biofortificação sustenta o problema, colaborando com a concentração de renda e de terras, e apresentando-se interessante e lucrativa para os proprietários das sementes biofortificadas que oferecem uma solução artificial para a questão, caracterizando um sistema de retroalimentação [7,63] .…”

5Uma das estratégias apontadas para o combate aos déficits nutricionais é a biofortificação de alimentos, uma técnica que visa aumentar o teor de nutrientes específicos em alimentos básicos. Entretanto, nos últimos anos, questionamentos acerca de suas potenciais consequências negativas ao meio ambiente e à Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional passaram a ser levantados. Diante do exposto, o presente artigo objetivou realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a biofortificação de alimentos, acerca de suas questões nutricionais, culturais, econômicas e ambientais e suas principais controvérsias, utilizando como ferramenta as bases de dados Scielo, Web of Science, Pub Med, Portal de Periódicos Capes e Science Direct, Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP e o Google Acadêmico. Embora a biofortificação tenha, em muitos casos, se mostrado um caminho promissor para melhorar os teores de nutrientes e vitaminas nos diversos itens alimentares é verídico afirmar que a mesma apresenta diversos aspectos negativos. Logo, é imprescindível a realização de estudos que visem elucidar seus amplos efeitos, contemplando as esferas econômica, política, social e nutricional. Enquanto isso, estratégias que visem solucionar as principais causas da insegurança alimentar são as mais recomendadas para a solução do problema da fome, seja ela oculta ou crônica.Palavras-chave: biofortificação de alimentos, segurança alimentar e nutricional, fome oculta, sustentabilidade na alimentação. Food Biofortification: problem or solution?Biofortification is one of the indicated strategies for fighting nutritional deficits, being a technique that aims the increase on the contents of specific nutrients in staple foods. However, there have been questions about the potential negative consequences it brings not only to the environment but also to the Food Security and Nutrition. The present work aimed at a bibliographic survey about biofortification, broaching questions about the nutritional, cultural, economic and environmental aspects related to this theme and the main controversies about it.

“…1. The choice of possible predictive risk factors of gestational XN was based on data from the literature (8,(27)(28)(29)(30) . To characterize socio-economic status during prenatal care as well as the biological, obstetric and clinical data of the pregnant women, variables that are part of the prenatal care protocol of the maternity hospital were selected and obtained by searching the medical records.…”

Objective: To describe the prevalence and determinants of gestational night blindness in pregnant women receiving care in a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Design: Cross-sectional study of pregnant and postpartum women receiving care in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro from 1999 to 2001 (group I; n 225) or from 2005 to 2008 (group II; n 381). Night blindness was identified through a standardized and validated interview (WHO, 1996). The determinants of gestational night blindness were identified through a hierarchical logistic regression model. Setting: Public maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Subjects: Adult pregnant and postpartum women (n 606), aged ≥20 years. Results: The prevalence of gestational night blindness was 9·9 %. The final model revealed that not living in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro (distal level: adjusted OR = 1·846; 95 % CI 1·002, 3·401), belonging to group I (intermediate level: adjusted OR = 2·183; 95 % CI 1·066, 4·471) and for the proximal level, having a history of abortion (adjusted OR = 2·840; 95 % CI 1·134, 7·115) and having anaemia during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy (adjusted OR = 3·776; 95 % CI 1·579, 9·029) were determinants of gestational night blindness. Conclusion: Gestational night blindness should be assessed for during the prenatal care of all pregnant women, especially those living in deprived areas of the city and/or who have a history of abortion or anaemia. Nutritional monitoring is recommended during pregnancy to control gestational night blindness. Keywords Night blindness Vitamin A deficiencyPregnant women Cross-sectional study Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) remains an ongoing public health problem in many areas of the world. Children and women of childbearing age are most affected, with an estimated 190 million children of pre-school age and 19 million pregnant women having VAD (1) . Based on night blindness (XN; the ocular symptom of VAD) and xerophthalmia (the first stage of ocular manifestations due to VAD), it is estimated that 5·2 million pre-school children and 9·8 million pregnant women are impacted, corresponding to 0·9 % and 7·8 % of these populations worldwide (1,2) . A national survey conducted in Brazil examined VAD among children of pre-school age and women of reproductive age (3) . Analyses of serum retinol, which is the biochemical indicator of VAD, revealed that women from the Southeast region evinced the highest prevalence of VAD in the country (14·0 %), surpassing those in the Northeast region (12·1 %), which is considered at higher risk for this
