Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a abrangência do enfrentamento da obesidade nos Planos Municipais de Saúde (PMS) do Estado do Tocantins, dado que, diante da crescente prevalência da obesidade no Brasil, seu enfrentamento deveria estar no foco de ação da saúde pública e previsto nos instrumentos de gestão. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, com análise documental, que analisou os PMS no período de vigência de 2018 a 2021 nos 139 municípios desse estado. Foram selecionados dezessete termos relacionados à obesidade e verificada a frequência e contexto nos PMS. Do total de 139 PMS, foram avaliados 129 (92,8%). Os termos “academia da saúde” e “Sisvan” foram os mais frequentes, e “obesidade” apareceu em apenas 28% dos planos, totalizando 71 citações. Destas, somente 32,4% relacionavam-se diretamente com o enfrentamento da doença, com destaque nas regiões de saúde Bico do Papagaio e Médio Norte Araguaia. Os contextos relevantes de abordagem da obesidade mais frequentes foram a caracterização da situação epidemiológica, quadros de metas de ações e indicadores. Concluiu-se que o enfrentamento da obesidade pactuado nos PMS está ausente em mais de 70% dos municípios do Tocantins, e que ações de direcionamento para inclusão dessa doença dentro dos instrumentos de gestão são urgentes. Abstract This documentary analysis evaluated the scope of addressing obesity in the Municipal Health Plans (PMS) in the state of Tocantins, Brazil, since the growing prevalence of obesity in Brazil should put its confrontation at the center of public health action and management instruments. To analyze the PMS performance from 2018 to 2021 in the 139 municipalities of this state, 17 terms related to obesity were selected and had their frequency and context in the PMS verified. Of the existing 139 PMS, 129 (92.8%) were evaluated. “Health academy” and “SISVAN” were the most frequent terms used, whereas “obesity” appeared in only 28% of the plans, totaling 71 mentions. Of these, only 32.4% were directly related to combating the disease, mainly in the health regions of Bico do Papagaio and Médio Norte Araguaia. Relevant contexts for addressing obesity included the characterization of the epidemiological profile, tables of action goals, and indicators. PMS’s role in combating obesity is absent in more than 70% of municipalities in Tocantins, which points to the urgent inclusion of this disease within the management instruments.

In Brazil and worldwide, few studies have investigated vitamin D deficiency in patients with severe obesity who underwent bariatric surgery associated with latitude and level of solar radiation. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and the predictive factors of serum level changes after 12 months of RYGB in a low latitude region.This study included 50 patients from a low-latitude city (10° 10' 8″ S) in the north of Brazil. We collected data before surgery and after 3 and 12 months of surgery. The level of vitamin D was classified as deficiency ( 20 ng/ml), insufficiency (20-30 ng/ml), and sufficiency (≥ 30 ng/ml).The mean age of the patients was 38.7 ± 8.9 years, 69% were women, and percent excess weight loss (% EWL) was 83% after 1 year of surgery. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the preoperative period was 14%, and after 3 and 12 months of surgery, it decreased to 4% and 6%, respectively. The variation in vitamin D after 12 months of surgery was positively associated with changes in BMI, body fat, and % EWL.The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is low in patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the northern region of Brazil, which is possibly related to low latitude. Weight loss was positively associated with an increase in serum vitamin D after surgery.

Objectives Dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) has been introduced as a useful tool to quantify the antioxidant content of a diet. However, few studies have evaluated the association of dTAC with cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurrence and cardiometabolic risk factors in people with established CVD events. Thus, we aimed to investigate the presence of an association between dTAC values, cardiovascular events, and cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with previous CVD in a Brazilian multicenter study. Methods This study has a cross-sectional design. We evaluated baseline data from the Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program Trial. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinical, and food-consumption data were collected in face-to-face interviews. We estimated dTAC from the mean of two 24-h dietary recalls by values of ferric-reducing antioxidant power. Results We evaluated 2346 participants, most of whom were men (58.4%), older adults (64.2%), and overweight (68.6%), and had coronary artery disease (92.4%). The mean dTAC was equal to 5.6 (interquartile range, 3.9-7.8) mmol/1000 kcal. Participants in the third dTAC tertile (9.2 mmol/1000 kcal) had a 22%, 59%, and 69% lower chance, respectively, of having hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and amputation due to arterial disease in comparison to the first tertile (3.4 mmol/1000 kcal). Conclusions The dTAC was inversely associated with hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and amputation due to arterial disease in individuals undergoing secondary care for CVD. Our results can guide strategies for the prevention of new CVD and its consequences.

Background : Obesity decreases the quality of life, which is aggravated by the association of comorbidities, and the binge eating disorder is directly related to body image and predisposes to overweight. Aim: Evaluate association between the presence and the level of binge eating disorder and the quality of life of the obese candidates for bariatric surgery. Methods : Cross-sectional study analyzing anthropometric data (weight and height) and socioeconomics (age, sex, marital status, education and income). The application of Binge Eating Scale was held for diagnosis of Binge Eating Disorder and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-From Health Survey to assess the quality of life. Results : Total sample studied was 96 patients, mean age 38.15±9.6 years, 80.2% female, 67.7% married, 41% with complete and incomplete higher education, 77.1% with lower income or equal to four the minimum salary, 59.3% with grade III obesity. Binge eating disorder was observed in 44.2% of patients (29.9% moderate and 14.3% severe), and these had the worst scores in all domains of quality of life SF36 scale; however, this difference was not statistically significant. Only the nutritional status presented significant statistically association with the presence of binge eating disorder. Conclusion : High prevalence of patients with binge eating disorder was found and they presented the worst scores in all domains of quality of life. Racional : A obesidade diminui a qualidade de vida que se agrava com a associação de comorbidades. O transtorno da compulsão alimentar tem relação direta com a imagem corporal e predispõe ao excesso de peso. Objetivo : Avaliar a associação entre a presença e o nível do transtorno da compulsão alimentar periódica e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes obesos candidatos à cirurgia bariátrica. Métodos : Estudo ambulatorial do tipo transversal onde coletaram-se dados antropométricos (peso e altura) e socioeconômicos (idade, sexo, estado civil, escolaridade e renda). Realizou-se aplicação da Escala de Compulsão Alimentar Periódica para diagnóstico do Transtorno de Compulsão Alimentar Periódica - TCAP e o Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-From Health Survey para avaliar a qualidade de vida. Resultados : Amostra total estudada foi de 96 pacientes, idade média de 38,15±9,6 anos, 80,2% do sexo feminino, 67,7% casados, 41% com ensino superior completo/incompleto, 77,1% com renda ≤4 salários mínimos, 59,3% obesidade grau III. Observou-se transtorno da compulsão alimentar em 44,2% dos pacientes (29,9% moderado e 14,3% grave), e estes apresentavam os piores escores em todos os domínios de qualidade de vida da escala SF36; porém, esta diferença não foi estatisticamente significante. Somente o estado nutricional apresentou associação com a presença do transtorno. Conclusão : Constatou-se e levada prevalência de pacientes com transtorno da compulsão alimentar e eles apresentaram os piores escores em todos os domínios da qualidade de vida.

Trata-se de estudo para avaliar os fatores associados à hipertensão e pré-hipertensão. Participaram desta pesquisa 1.125 indivíduos com idade entre 7 e 14 anos da rede pública de ensino em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. As variáveis de exposição foram: índice de massa corporal, circunferência da cintura, sexo, idade, atividade física, condições ambientais e de moradia, renda familiar, consumo alimentar, escolaridade e idade maternas. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se a Regressão Logística Politômica e a variável desfecho categorizada em normotensos, pré-hipertensos e hipertensos. A prevalência de pressão arterial elevada foi de 14,1%, sendo 4,8% de hipertensão e 9,3% pré-hipertensão. Houve associação entre pré-hipertensão e excesso de peso (OR: 3,13; IC95%: 1,75-5,57). Hipertensão foi associada a excesso de peso (OR: 3,02; IC95%: 1,45-6,28), sexo feminino (OR: 2,49; IC95%: 1,24-4,98) e padrão alimentar de risco (OR: 1,93; IC95%: 1,04-3,56). A prevalência de pré-hipertensão e hipertensão em crianças e adolescentes é maior entre aqueles com excesso de peso, do sexo feminino e com consumo alimentar inadequado. This study aimed to assess pre-hypertension and hypertension-related factors in 1,125 seven- to-14-year-old subjects enrolled in the public school system in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil. Exposure variables, namely body mass index, waist circumference, gender, age, physical activity, environmental and housing status, family income, diet, schooling, and maternal age were analyzed by polytomous logistic regression, and the outcome variable was categorized as normal, pre-hypertensive, and hypertensive. Prevalence of high blood pressure was 14.1%, including the prevalence of both hypertension (4.8%) and pre-hypertension (9.3%). An association was shown between pre-hypertension and overweight (OR: 3.13; 95%CI: 1.75-5.57). Hypertension was associated with overweight (OR: 3.02; 95%CI: 1.45-6.28), female gender (OR: 2.49; 95%CI: 1.24-4.98), and high-risk eating patterns (OR: 1.93; 95%CI: 1.04-3.56). In short, prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension in children and adolescents was higher among girls and individuals with overweight and inadequate diet.
