“…This can be explained by changes in the dietary habits of adolescents, where healthy foods are replaced with high-sugar soda and processed food [52,53]. Moreover, calcium intake plays an important role in the regulation of energy metabolism and the risk of developing obesity [52,53]. Mouse studies demonstrated that a low calcium intake has been associated with increased adipocyte lipogenesis and decreased lipolysis [54,55].…”

Background/Aims: Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) present with various degrees of short stature and nutritional disorders. Thus, we aimed to evaluate anthropometric and nutritional parameters in OI children and their variability among various types. Methods: Eighty-four patients with OI (types I, II, and IV) were subjected to the following anthropometric measurements: standing height (Ht), sitting height (SH), arm span, weight (Wt), and head circumference (HC), with calculation of Ht, SH, Wt, body mass index (BMI), and HC standard deviation scores (SDSs), and relative arm span. Triceps skinfold thickness (TSFT), subscapular skinfold thickness (SSFT), and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) were measured, as well as dietary intake of macronutrients and calcium; also, energy requirements were calculated. Results: Ht SDS was reduced in OI-III and OI-IV compared to OI-I; SH SDS was reduced in OI-III compared to OI-I. HC SDS was more increased in OI-III than in OI-I and OI-IV. BMI SDS correlated with TSFT, SSFT, and MUAC. OI-III patients had the highest percentage of energy intake. The frequency of low macronutrient and calcium intake was highest in OI-III, while the frequency of low fat intake was highest in OI-I. Conclusions: Anthropometric and nutritional parameters differ among OI types. Assessment of anthropometric measurements and nutritional status in OI patients is important.

“…Regarding the calcium and iron inadequacies in the recipes studied: calcium constitutes a fundamental substrate for the transmission of nerve impulses, muscular contraction, blood coagulation, and secretion of hormones; Its deficiency is directly related to shortness of stature and bone diseases 24 ; lack of iron may be reflected in iron deficiency anemia, which in turn causes serious damage to children's cognitive and motor development, thus compromising school performance 25 .…”

Introduction: Concerns about proper nutrition in childhood have been highlighted by the media. This is accompanied by an ongoing increase in the number of Internet pages, including those on social networks, channeled toward providing health information. Objective: To analyze the nutritional quality of snack recipes presented on web pages, aimed at preschoolers and described as healthy. Methods: a cross-sectional study carried out in 2015. A search was made for Brazilian web pages aimed at the lay public, and that contained snacks for children between 2 and 6 years of age. The first 20 URLs located by the search engine were selected and 10% of the recipes were set apart. The snacks were checked for compliance with steps 6, 7, and 8 of the Food Guide. Subsequently, nutritional labels were made for the preparations that met the three pre-established steps. Results: 85% of the pages were sites, 5% were blogs, and the rest were identified as sites/blogs. It was found that all were readable/comprehensible and 40% provided author identification. Of the 35 preparations initially observed, 31.4% met all three steps for healthy eating. In the qualitative analysis, seven were considered hypocaloric; only one of the snacks came close to the proposed carbohydrate content; two had excess protein. In general, the recipes had low quantities of: lipids, calcium, iron, sodium, and fiber. Conclusions: less than half of the addresses consulted identified the author. In addition, the recipes were predominantly misleading, as most had inadequacies in macronutrient and micronutrient content.

“…5 (International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2010) and is the most common consequence of vitamin D deficiency in children due to its impact on calcium and phosphorus absorption from the diet. It is often characterized by skeletal deformities including bowed legs, bone tenderness, dental problems, and muscle weakness (Bueno and Czepielewski, 2008). While rickets was an epidemic in the 19 th century prior to food fortification and increased availability of dietary supplementations, it is still commonly seen in many developing countries (Bueno and Czepielewski, 2008).…”

As the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency continues to grow, mounting evidence supporting its link with chronic disease strengthens suggesting vitamin D's candidacy in the prevention and treatment of multiple disease states and their complications. Dietary guidelines, however, do not take sun exposure into account. The present study sought to explore the impact of sun exposure on vitamin D status (serum 25(OH)D), and identify other significant determinants of serum levels which may have the greatest effects on overall health. Participants (n = 34) were pre-menopausal women aged 18 to 50 years (mean age 39 ± 6 years), who had their blood drawn at a local pathology lab and a follow-up appointment at a health assessment lab for the collection of other measurements. Mean serum 25(OH)D level was 64 ± 18 nmol/L, and mean dietary vitamin D intake was approximately 327 ± 229 IU/day. Although 82% of participants were below the RDA guidelines (600 IU/day for females ages 9-50 years) for dietary vitamin D intake, only 32% had serum 25(OH)D levels < 50 nmol/L (the recommended level of sufficiency for bone health) reflecting deficiency. While serum 25(OH)D levels were significantly correlated to dietary vitamin D intake (r = 0.42, p = 0.0139), it is reasonable to assume that participants obtained adequate vitamin D from sun exposure. Fasting serum insulin levels were significantly, positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.83, p < 0.0001), and sun exposure index (Body Surface Area x Minutes of Direct Sunlight) was significantly, positively correlated with serum 25(OH)D levels (fall weekend SEI: r = 0.47, p = 0.0059; spring weekend SEI: r = 0.43, p = 0.0135; average weekend SEI: r = 0.43, p = 0.013; and average overall SEI: r = 0.39, p = 0.0247). Reported sun exposure appeared to be least during winter weekdays and the most during summer weekends. Regression analysis was used to determine the strongest predictors of serum 25(OH)D levels, which were found to be sun exposure, dietary vitamin D intake, skin reflectance, age, BMI, and ethnicity (R 2 = 0.58 , p = 0.0031), demonstrating that simple questionnaires, such as those employed in this study, can help to predict serum 25(OH)D status and thus be considered in the future treatment of vitamin D deficiency.v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
