“…The DP identified in the present study were consistent with other previously described DP in the region [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. The Meat DP identified in our study consisted of foods that characterize Uruguayan eating habits such as red and barbecued meat, bread, and soft drinks.…”

“…A previous report suggested that the modest protective effect of healthier DPs is often related to complementary health behaviors [ 11 ]. In our study, adherence to the Prudent DP was more common among participants with higher education (particularly in the older ones), similar to a previous study [ 34 ], which could reflect that they are able to better understand the importance of healthy eating. The Cereal and Mate DP identified in this study emerged with the mate infusion beverage as an important component.…”

“…These may reflect the improvement of diet through adoption of a healthier DP among participants with poorer metabolic health conditions. In agreement, a recent study with a representative sample of the Brazilian population [34] showed that people with accumulation of NCDs were more likely to adopt the healthy DP. In fact, in our study, fiber and protein intake (mainly from fish and vegetables) were higher, and alcohol intake lower, among those with higher adherence to the Prudent DP.…”

“…Finally, the Prudent DP in our study emerged as the DP with a healthier selection of foods, with vegetables, fish, and nuts having higher contributions, while bread and crackers had lower loads. DP with similar nutritional components were also previously denominated in the region as “Prudent” [ 31 ], as well as “Healthy” [ 32 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Association of Dietary Patterns with Cardiovascular and Kidney Phenotypes in an Uruguayan Population Cohort

The impact of habitual diet on chronic diseases has not been extensively characterized in South America. We aimed to identify major dietary patterns (DP) in an adult cohort in Uruguay (Genotype Phenotype and Environment of Hypertension Study—GEFA-HT-UY) and to assess associations with metabolic, anthropometric characteristics, and cardiovascular and kidney phenotypes. In a cross-sectional study (n = 294), DP were derived by the principal component analysis. Blood and urine parameters, anthropometrics, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, and glomerular filtration rate were measured. Multivariable adjusted linear models and adjusted binary logistic regression were used. Three DP were identified (Meat, Prudent, Cereal and Mate) explaining 22.6% of total variance in food intake. The traditional Meat DP, characterized by red and barbecued meat, processed meat, bread, and soft drinks, was associated with worse blood lipid profile. Prudent DP, characterized by vegetables, fish, and nuts, and lower loads for bread and crackers, was associated with reduced risk of vitamin D deficiency. Cereal and Mate DP, was characterized by higher loads of cereals, bread, and crackers, and mate infusion, with higher odds of excessive body weight. No direct associations of dietary patterns with hypertension, arterial stiffness, chronic kidney disease, and nephrolithiasis were found in the studied population, nor by age categories or sex.

“…Suboptimal dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins, particularly vitamins A, C, and E, and carotenoids, and other antioxidants such as selenium, zinc and flavonoids, may adversely affect the modulation of oxidative lung stimuli. 86 , 88 In contrast, higher intakes may have beneficial effects on the modulation of oxidative lung stimuli, thus decreasing airway hyperactivity, wheezing symptoms, and asthma. 89 For example, low serum zinc levels were associated with a doubling of wheeze prevalence.…”

Understanding and controlling asthma in Latin America: A review of recent research informed by the SCAALA programme

Asthma is an important health concern in Latin America (LA) where it is associated with variable prevalence and disease burden between countries. High prevalence and morbidity have been observed in some regions, particularly marginalized urban populations. Research over the past 10 years from LA has shown that childhood disease is primarily non‐atopic. The attenuation of atopy may be explained by enhanced immune regulation induced by intense exposures to environmental factors such as childhood infections and poor environmental conditions of the urban poor. Non‐atopic symptoms are associated with environmental and lifestyle factors including poor living conditions, respiratory infections, psychosocial stress, obesity, and a diet of highly processed foods. Ancestry (particularly African) and genetic factors increase asthma risk, and some of these factors may be specific to LA settings. Asthma in LA tends to be poorly controlled and depends on access to health care and medications. There is a need to improve management and access to medication through primary health care. Future research should consider the heterogeneity of asthma to identify relevant endotypes and underlying causes. The outcome of such research will need to focus on implementable strategies relevant to populations living in resource‐poor settings where the disease burden is greatest.

Objective: To estimate the disability and costs of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) for ischemic heart disease (IHD) attributable to trans fatty acid (TFA) consumption in 2019. Design: This ecological study used secondary data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 to estimate the years lived with disability (YLDs) from IHD attributable to TFA in Brazil in 2019. Data on direct costs (purchasing power parity: 1 Int$ = R$ 2.280) were obtained from the Hospital and Ambulatory Information Systems of the SUS. Moreover, the total costs in each state were divided by the resident population in 2019 and multiplied by 10,000 inhabitants. The relationship between the socio-demographic index (SDI), disease, and economic burden was investigated. Setting: Brazil and its 27 states. Participants: Adults aged ≥ 25 years of both sexes. Results: IHD attributable to TFA consumption resulted in 11,165 YLDs (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 932–18,462) in 2019 in Brazil. A total of Int$ 54,546,227 (95% UI: 4,505,792–85,561,810) was spent in the SUS in 2019 due to IHD attributable to TFA, with the highest costs of hospitalizations, for males and individuals aged ≥ 50 years or over. The highest costs were observed in Sergipe (Int$ 6,508/10,000; 95% UI: 576–10,265), followed by the two states from the South. Overall, as the SDI increases, expenditures increase. Conclusions: TFA consumption results in a high disease and economic IHD burden in Brazil, reinforcing the need for more effective health policies, such as industrial TFA elimination, following the international agenda.
