Objetivos: comparar o estado nutricional de meninas de nove a 17 anos na cidade de Cascavel (PR) segundo três referências para índice de massa corporal (IMC). Métodos: estudo transversal com 2759 meninas. Verificou-se o peso e a estatura obtendo-se o IMC além da avaliação da maturidade sexual e do nível socioeconômico. O estado nutricional foi classificado pelos pontos de corte do IMC propostos por Conde e Monteiro, WHO, e CDC. Resultados: as frequências dos estados nutricionais não diferiram significativamente na mesma referência para IMC por faixa etária, por nível socioeconômico e por tipo de escola. Por nível de maturidade sexual, apenas a referência da WHO apresentou valores de obesidade e sobrepeso maiores para o estadio de mamas grau 5. No entanto, quando comparadas as três referências entre si, o CDC apresentou frequências significativamente menores de sobrepeso e obesidade por faixa etária, por nível de maturidade sexual, por nível socioeconômico e por tipo de escola. Apesar das três referências apresentarem concordância entre si, esta foi maior entre os de Conde e Monteiro, e da WHO. Conclusões: a referência do CDC identificou menor percentual de meninas com sobrepeso e obesidade. As referências propostas por Conde e Monteiro e WHO apresentaram resultados semelhantes. Objectives: to compare the nutritional status of girls aged between nine and seventeen years in the city of Cascavel (in the Brazilian State of Paraná) according to three body mass index (BMI) references. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 2759 girls. Weight and height were measured to obtain the BMI and the sexual maturity and socioeconomic status of the girls evaluated. Nutritional status was classified using the BMI cut-off points proposed by Conde & Monteiro, the WHO, and the CDC. Results: the frequencies for different nutritional states did not differ significantly when the same BMI reference was used according to age, socioeconomic status or type of school attended. In terms of sexual maturity, only the WHO reference WHO produced higher levels of obesity and overweight for girls with Stage 5 breasts. However, when the three references were compared with one another, the CDC produced significantly lower frequencies for overweight and obesity by age group, level of sexual maturity, socioeconomic status and type of school. All three references were in agreement, this was greater between Conde & Monteiro, and the WHO. Conclusions: the CDC reference identified a smaller percentage of overweight and obese girls. The references proposed by Conde & Monteiro and the WHO produced similar results.

To analyze the effects of the aerobic training on components of physical fitness in adult women. Forty women aged above 40 years were selected; 20 of them participated regularly on the program (Experimental Group), with above 55% of maximum heart rate, one hour a day, five times a week, during five months. The control group was composed by the others 20 women. The Rikli and Jones (1999) tests were used to evaluate physical fitness. Non-parametric statistics were used to compare the scores of components of physical fitness with p < 0.05. The two Groups did not differ significantly in relation to age, body mass index, family income and the results of the tests at the beginning of the program. After five months of the program, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in the performance in the tests in comparison with pre-program and control group. The regular practice of oriented walking used in this study contributed to the improvement of the health-related physical fitness in a group of adult women submitted to five months of aerobic training. O trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos de um treinamento aeróbio sobre os componentes da aptidão física em mulheres adultas. Foram selecionadas 40 mulheres com idade superior a 40 anos, das quais 20 participaram regularmente do programa (grupo-experimento), com freqüência cardíaca máxima superior a 55%, em exercícios com duração de uma hora por dia e freqüência de cinco vezes por semana, durante cinco meses, e as demais formaram o grupo-controle. Para avaliação da aptidão física foram utilizados os testes propostos por Rikli e Jones (1999) antes e após cinco meses do programa. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados procedimentos de estatística não-paramétrica na comparação dos escores dos componentes da aptidão física, com p < 0,05. Observou-se que os dois grupos não apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas em relação aos fatores idade, índice de massa corporal, renda familiar e resultados dos testes antes do início do programa. Após cinco meses, o grupo-experimento apresentou significativo incremento na performance nos testes em relação aos resultados pré-programa e ao grupo-controle. Concluiu-se que prática regular da caminhada orientada definida neste estudo contribuiu para a melhora da aptidão física relacionada à saúde em um grupo de mulheres adultas submetido a cinco meses de treinamento aeróbio.

As primeiras descrições da síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (Aids) associavam-se à síndrome de emaciamento, e os distúrbios metabólicos às alterações na composição corporal. Após a introdução da terapia anti-retroviral altamente ativa (HAART), houve declínio na desnutrição, e surge a lipodistrofia como importante distúrbio metabólico. A Aids também se caracteriza por distúrbios hormonais, principalmente no eixo hormônio de crescimento/fator de crescimento insulina-like tipo 1 (GH/IGF-1). O uso do GH recombinante humano (hrGH) foi inicialmente indicado na síndrome de emaciamento, a fim de aumentar a massa muscular. Embora também não existam dúvidas quanto aos efeitos do hrGH na lipodistrofia, a diminuição na sensibilidade à insulina limita o seu uso, o qual ainda não está oficialmente aprovado. A diversidade nos esquemas de tratamento é outro limitante do uso dessa medicação em pacientes com Aids. Esta revisão apresenta os principais distúrbios endócrino-metabólicos associados à Aids e ao uso do hrGH nessas condições. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (Aids) was initially related to HIV-associated wasting syndrome, and its metabolic disturbances to altered body composition. After Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) was started, malnutrition has declined and HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome has emerged as an important metabolic disorder. Aids is also characterized by hormonal disturbances, principally in growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 (GH/IGF-1) axis. The use of recombinant human GH (hrGH) was formerly indicated to treat wasting syndrome, in order to increase lean body mass. Even though the use of hrGH in lipodystrophy syndrome has been considered, the decrease in insulin sensitivity is a limitation for its use, which has not been officially approved yet. Diversity in therapeutic regimen is another limitation to its use in Aids patients. The present study has reviewed the main HIV-related endocrine-metabolic disorders as well as the use of hrGH in such conditions.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate growth and body composition of patients with the salt wasting form of classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and to compare them with healthy children., Methods: Twenty-one prepubertal patients (eight boys and 13 girls) between 2.1 and 10.2 years and 67 prepubertal healthy controls (36 boys and 31 girls) between 1.2 and 11.7 years were included. Weight, height, upper-arm circumference, skinfolds, body composition determined by bioimpedance, and bone age were measured. The following data were obtained from the medical records: parents' height, serum levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and Δ4-androstenedione, prescribed hydrocortisone doses, weight and length at birth, in the beginning of the treatment, and at 2 years., Results: Patients had lower weight and length z scores at the first appointment compared with the same data at birth, showing recovery after the beginning of the treatment without advanced bone age. Mean height z score was higher in controls (0.28 ± 0.86) than in patients (-0.61 ± 0.99, p < 0.001); this difference disappeared when the patients' height was adjusted to their bone age (0.33 ± 1.68, p = 0.912). Patients had higher body mass index (p < 0.001), fat mass (p < 0.001), and fat mass index (p < 0.001) than controls. There was no difference in the skinfolds between the two groups (p = 0.157)., Conclusions: Patients had growth recovery with mean height similar to the general population; however, they had higher body fat, which seems to be visceral, since there was no difference between the skinfolds of both groups.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of the improvement of chromosome analysis on the cytogenetic findings of Turner syndrome (TS) patients., Methods: Retrospective study of the results of the karyotypes of 260 patients with TS, regarding banding techniques, number of cells analyzed and results of investigation of Y-chromosome sequences. According to karyotype, divided in 45,X; sex chromosome mosaicism without Y; structural aberrations of sex chromosomes with or without mosaicism; sex chromosome mosaicism with Y., Results: 45,X was the most frequent karyotype (108), followed by structural aberrations (88) and mosaics (58 without Y and 6 with Y). Introduction of banding techniques and increase in the number of cells analyzed resulted in progressive decrease of 45,X karyotype and increase of structural aberrations. The study of Y-chromosome sequences was performed in 96 cases of which 10 resulted positive., Conclusions: Improvement of chromosome analysis over the years has modified the cytogenetic profile of TS.

- Abstract
Growth failure is frequent and a clinically important issue in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many factors contribute to impaired growth in these children, including abnormalities in the growth hormone (GH)--insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis, malnutrition, acidosis, renal bone disease and glucocorticoid associated treatment. The management of growth failure in children with CKD is complicated by the presence of other-disease related complications requiring medical intervention. Despite evidence of GH efficacy and safety in this population, this therapy is still underutilized. This review shows the impact, the causes and the treatment of growth failure in children with CKD.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the presence of insulin resistance (IR) and changes in lipid profile in Turner Syndrome (TS), and to check the influence of age, karyotype, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and pubertal development., Patients and Methods: A transversal study of 35 TS patients, confirmed with karyotype (5 to 43 years), without previous use of anabolic steroid or hGH, with evaluation of blood pressure, pubertal development, anthropometric data, measurement of waist (W), hip (H), W to H ratio, total cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides (TGC), LDL, insulin and glucose. HOMA and QUICKI indexes were calculated, as well as glucose to insulin ratio (G/I). Data were examined by the Mann-Whitney and Spearman tests., Results: Ten patients were >20 years. Seventeen had a 45,X karyotype and 6 structural aberrations; differences of the variables in relation to the karyotypes were not observed; 15 were nonpubertal and 20 pubertal; TGC and HOMA were significantly higher in puberty, while G/I was lower. Seven had normal height, 8 had BMI >25 Kg/m2 (6 between 25 and 30, and 2 >30), and 19 W/H >0.85. Cholesterol levels were 180 +/- 42mg% (4 >240); HDL 57 +/- 16mg%; LDL 99 +/- 34 mg%; TGC 108 +/- 96 mg% (2 >200); HOMA 1.01 +/- 0.71; QUICKI 0.4 +/- 0.04 and G/I 23.5 +/- 12.1 (2 <7.0)., Conclusions: Changes were observed in lipid profile independent of age, karyotype, SAH and obesity, but associated with IR. The frequency of IR was lower than described in literature, and seems to be directly linked to chronological age, obesity and estrogen therapy.
