Nutrition during pregnancy is essential for the health of the pregnant woman, the development of the fetus, and the prevention of complications related to pregnancy and the postpartum period. This study described the factors associated with high consumption of ultra-processed foods among pregnant women. This prospective cohort study was performed from February 2016 to November 2019 in two health units in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with data from 344 pregnant women. The first interview was conducted in the prenatal visit at less than 20 gestational weeks, the second at 34 gestational weeks, and the third at two months postpartum. Diet was assessed in the last interview using a food frequency questionnaire, and food items were classified according to NOVA. The percentage of ultra-processed foods consumption was estimated by tertile distribution, and the third tertile represented the highest consumption. Based on the hierarchical analysis model, the associations between ultra-processed foods consumption and sociodemographic, reproductive health, pregestational, behavioral, and pregnancy variables were assessed using a multinomial logistic regression model. Older women had lower ultra-processed foods consumption (OR = 0.33; 95%CI: 0.15-0.71). Few years of schooling (up to 7 years; OR = 5.58; 95%CI: 1.62-19.23), history of a previous childbirth (OR = 2.48; 95%CI: 1.22-5.04), history of two or more previous childbirths (OR = 7.53; 95%CI: 3.02-18.76), and no history of regular physical activity before pregnancy (OR = 2.40; 95%CI: 1.31-4.38) were risk factors. The identification of risk and protection factors allows for the establishment of control measures and encouragement of healthy practices during prenatal care. A nutrição durante a gravidez é essencial para a saúde da gestante, o desenvolvimento do bebê e a prevenção de complicações relacionadas à gravidez e ao pós-parto. Este estudo descreveu os fatores associados ao alto consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados entre gestantes. Trata-se de uma coorte prospectiva realizada de fevereiro de 2016 a novembro de 2019, em duas unidades de saúde do Município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, que analisou dados de 344 gestantes. A primeira entrevista foi realizada na consulta pré-natal com menos de 20 semanas de gestação, a segunda com 34 semanas de gestação e a terceira dois meses após o parto. A dieta foi avaliada na última entrevista por meio de um questionário de frequência alimentar e os itens alimentares foram classificados de acordo com a classificação NOVA. O percentual de consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados foi calculado em tercis de distribuição, dos quais o terceiro tercil representou o maior consumo. Com base no modelo de análise hierárquica, as associações entre o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e variáveis sociodemográficas, de saúde reprodutiva, pré-gestacionais, comportamentais e gestacionais foram investigadas usando um modelo de regressão logística multinomial. Mulheres mais velhas apresentaram menor consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados (OR = 0,33; IC95%: 0,15-0,71). Os fatores de risco foram baixa escolaridade (até sete anos; OR = 5,58; IC95%: 1,62-19,23), histórico de parto anterior (OR = 2,48; IC95%: 1,22-5,04), histórico de dois ou mais partos anteriores (OR = 7,53; IC95%: 3,02-18,76) e ausência de histórico de atividade física regular antes da gestação (OR = 2,40; IC95%: 1,31-4,38). A identificação de fatores de risco e proteção permite o estabelecimento de medidas de controle e o incentivo a práticas saudáveis durante o pré-natal. La nutrición durante el embarazo es esencial para la salud de la futura madre, el desarrollo del bebé y la prevención de complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo y el posparto. Este estudio describió los factores asociados con el alto consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados entre las mujeres embarazadas. Se trata de una cohorte prospectiva realizada entre febrero de 2016 y noviembre de 2019, en dos unidades de salud de la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, que analizó datos de 344 gestantes. La primera entrevista se realizó en la visita prenatal a las 20 semanas de gestación, la segunda a las 34 semanas de gestación y la tercera dos meses después del parto. La dieta se evaluó en la última entrevista mediante un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos y los alimentos se clasificaron de acuerdo con la clasificación NOVA. El porcentaje de consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados se calculó en terciles de distribución, de los cuales el tercer tercil representó el mayor consumo. Con base en el modelo de análisis jerárquico, se investigaron las asociaciones entre el consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados y las variables sociodemográficas, de salud reproductiva, previas al embarazo, conductuales y gestacionales mediante un modelo de regresión logística multinomial. Las mujeres mayores presentaron menor consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados (OR = 0,33; IC95%: 0,15-0,71). Los factores de riesgo fueron bajo nivel educativo (hasta siete años; OR = 5,58; IC95%: 1,62-19,23), antecedentes de parto previo (OR = 2,48; IC95%: 1,22-5,04), antecedentes de dos o más partos previos (OR = 7,53; IC95%: 3,02-18,76) y sin antecedentes de actividad física regular antes del embarazo (OR = 2,40; IC95%: 1,31-4,38). La identificación de factores de riesgo y protección permite el establecimiento de medidas de control y el fomento de prácticas saludables durante la atención prenatal.

The Ocean ProTec.Lab was therefore a short-term course to create an environment for critical sharing and learning between trainers, maritime professionals and young students (from VET and secondary education), in a methodological concept that brought together the actors from education and companies

The Working Group on Integrated Assessment of the North Sea (WGINOSE) aims to provide a holistic analysis of the present and future status of the North Sea Ecosystem and the human activities therein. Analysis is split among 14 strata since the North Sea is a diverse ecosystem spanning the shallows of the Southern North Sea banks to the deeps of the Norwegian Trench. State-of-the-art statistical methods for trend analysis have been performed on time-series data spanning 35 years (between 1984–2022) with two different methods. In addition, a flagged observation (FO) analysis has been performed. The overall picture is that herring and cod show a downward trend in most subareas, while plaice, mackerel and sprat have an upward one. The total biomass of zooplankton is upward in areas Utsira, German Bight and Norwegian Trench, and downward in the Fladen area. The FO analysis give several occasions where the fish stocks are above the estimated trend in the period 2020–2022, and a few that is below. A lack of consistent datasets for oceanography suggest that next year that analysis will be based on model-data (Copernicus). An interactive map of human activities was developed and presented the first time in 2020, and further updated in 2021 with more layers. All data are obtained from The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). Procedures for periodic update are documented and published. The plan is to update the pressure maps every third years, in time for revision of the Greater North Sea ecosystem overview. A paper has been published in Frontiers in Marine Science which explores the utility of Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and conceptual models developed by WGINOSE and others for the North Sea (Olsen et al., 2023). Information gained from a series of workshop with stakeholder’s engagement developing qualitative (mental) models for different North Sea strata, showed the potential of contributing to integrated ecosystem assessment (IEAs) to facilitate the pathways towards an ecosystem-based management advice. The Ecosystem Overview of the Greater North Sea was updated in 2022 following the new structure (ICES 2022). The overview concluded that the greatest impact risk is caused by fishing followed by shipping. WGINOSE will work toward the operationalization of the strata specific ecosystem trend analysis including the integration of indicators of ecosystem state and function including information generated from models output; and provide the best available science for quantifying and evaluate trade-offs between different human activities and ecosystem components and services.
