The aim of this study was to summarize studies examining the prevalence of sedentary behavior among Brazilian children and adolescents. A systematic review conducted on eight databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, SPORTDiscus, BIREME, Scielo, and Google Scholar). The criteria applied were: original research; samples including Brazilian children and adolescents; to be a school- or population-based survey; observational studies using different measures of sedentary behavior; studies showing the prevalence of at least one component of sedentary behavior. Of the 205 studies included, 104 were analyzed. There was a greater concentration of studies in the southern (n=41) and northeastern (n=18) regions. The components more frequently investigated were watching TV (n=36) and screen time (n=32). Only three studies included children under seven years, and the age range more investigated was 10 to 19 years. Most of the studies used a self-reported questionnaire and showed variability in the cut-off point applied (from 2 to 4 hours/day). The prevalence of adolescents who met recommendations ranged from 9.4% to 68.0% for sedentary behavior (<2 hours/day) and from 16.8% to 67.2% for TV viewing (<2 hours/day). The prevalence ranged from 39.1% to 97.7% for computer use and from 47.7% to 98.0% for videogame use. Most of the studies reported that less than half of the adolescents met the recommendations of sedentary behavior and TV viewing. On the other hand, more than half of them devoted less than two hours a day to computer and videogame use.

“…In the present study, a high percentage (42.6%) of breakfast omission stands out, higher than that found in other cities in Brazil 15,17,23,24,25,26,27 , but it is worth mentioning that no studies have been conducted in the North and Northeast regions. A study using data from the National School Health Survey (2012) found that 38% of adolescents did not eat breakfast regularly, which was associated with a higher likelihood of having other inappropriate eating habits, such as a diet low in fruits and vegetables and rich in sugars and fried foods 28 . Worldwide, as shown in a review of 39 studies with 286.804 children and adolescents from 33 countries, the prevalence of breakfast omission ranged from 10 to 30%, with an increasing trend in adolescents 29 .…”

“…Brazil is a country rich in natural resources and thanks to the tropical climate a wide range of Brazilian produce is available throughout the year. Brazilians have an appreciation of good food and, although they do not always adopt a healthy diet [ 21 ], they appreciate the importance of balanced nutrition [ 22 ].…”

Aim:This article examines whether social media postings dealing with cancer and so-called ‘functional foods’ simply reflect a fashionable subject or are based on scientific evidence.Methods:The first step consisted of an analysis of a sample of Pins published on Pinterest. The second consisted of an analysis to determine whether the content of the Pins was based on scientific research.Results:From a set of 507 Pins on cancer, we found 204 that also dealt with food. We selected 75 Pins representing different foods and we identified about 80,000 scientific articles on cancer and food indexed in PubMed.Conclusion:We concluded that material published on Pinterest has some correlation with the scientific literature.
