Introdução: O padrão alimentar, com alto teor de gordura, colesterol, açúcar refinado e o baixo teor de ácido graxos poliinsaturados e fibras presente na dieta dos adolescentes, é considerado o principal responsável pelo aumento da morbidade e mortalidade em adultos, pois resulta em aumento da prevalência de obesidade e conseqüentemente de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Objetivo: Avaliar a dieta habitual qualitativa e quantitativamente de adolescentes de ambos os sexos de uma Escola Estadual do Município de São Paulo - SP. Casuística e Métodos: Foram avaliados adolescentes de ambos os gêneros entre 14 e 18 anos e 11 meses de idade, em quatro momentos diferentes durante seis meses. Utilizou-se o Recordatório 24 horas para avaliar o consumo alimentar e os dados foram processados pelo software Virtual Nutri. As análises estatísticas (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, teste T Student bicaudal para amostras repetidas, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test e McNemar) foram realizadas pelo SPSS 11.0. Resultados: O consumo de gordura total foi superior a 30% em todos os dias de análise; o consumo de fibras obteve uma tendência de melhora nos dias úteis, assim como a gordura insaturada; o alimento com consumo mais freqüente foi o arroz e o consumo dos salgados (pão de queijo, coxinha, esfiha, etc.) aumentou durante os dias da semana. O café da manhã teve um declínio de consumo durante o feriado. Conclusões: O conhecimento do da dieta habitual dos adolescentes possibilita o planejamento de políticas públicas de saúde voltadas à nutrição, orientações dietéticas específicas ao grupo e possíveis intervenções. / Introduction: High amounts of fat, cholesterol, refined sugar, and low amounts of fat acid and fibers present in the diets of adolescents is results in high rates of obesity, chronic non-communicable diseases, and death in adults. Objective: Evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the daily eating habits of adolescent males and females from a São Paulo city state school. Methods: Students between the ages of 14 years and 18 years 11 months old in four different times in a six month period were evaluated. The students logged their food intake over a 24 hour period and the data was processed by the Virtual Nutri software. The statistical analysis (Kolmogorov-Smirnow, T Student test for two repeated samples, Wilcoxon Signed Tank Test, and McNemar) was made by SPSS 11.0. Results: For every day of the test, fat accounted for more than 30% of the caloric intake. The fiber intake showed a tendency to improve on week days when compared with weekends, as did the intake of unsaturated fats. The food most frequently consumed was rice. Snacks were consumed mostly on the holiday, and during holidays the students frequently skipped breakfast. Conclusions: This study of the eating habits of adolescents can help shape the public policies of health, nutrition, and diet for specific groups and interventions.

A validated Nutritional survey and Nutritional knowledge quiz were designed to determine the relationship between knowledge and behavior of grade nine students from South Bohemia elementary schools. The validity of the Nutritional survey and the Nutritional knowledge quiz were tested using analytical analysis of all survey and test items and examining...

This dissertation is focused on currently one of the most burning social problem - childhood obesity in Czech Republic. We have tried to find out a childhood prevalence obesity, its causes, social risks and expected dangers and we evaluated possible solutions for the prevention of obesity. A research problem of the thesis is the growing prevalence of childhood obesity in the Czech Republic in the context of developing its ineffectively controlled determinant. Our research targets on children, more precisely said on pupils of four primary schools (in the Bílina city). Among the objectives of the thesis belongs a pupil categorization according to BMI (body mass index). A principal goal is an evaluation of level of support for children to a healthy lifestyle by primary schools. Data have been collected from the children themselves, as well as from the school management and the respective school founder (city or region). The results of the research point out that a prevalence of childhood obesity (for a sample of the pupils of bílina's primary schools) corresponds to the current development and proportional representation of overweight and obesity in our country. The case studies which are output as research section aimed at encouraging children to a healthy lifestyle from the school and the research...

Idrottande ungdomar gör inte alltid hälsosamma matval och rätt näring är en förutsättning för att orka de fysiska kraven som ställs på fotbollsspelare. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga kostvanor hos ungdomar på fotbollsgymnasium och jämföra resultaten med Svenska Olympiska Kommitténs kostrekommendationer. Studien var kvantitativ och en webbenkät användes som datainsamlingsmetod. Enkäten omfattade kostvanor, livsmedelsval samt kost i samband med prestation och besvarades av 132 deltagare varav 100 svar analyserades. Data analyserades med deskriptiv statistik. Studiens resultat visade att majoriteten av ungdomarna har en regelbunden måltidsordning avseende frukost, lunch, middag och mellanmål, däremot har de mindre kännedom om måltidsplanering och vad som bör intas efter träning. Resultatet visar också att mättat fett är det dominerande intaget av fettkälla hos deltagarna och en stor önskan om minskat intag av mättat fett, sötsaker och snabbmat finns. Resultatet av denna studie utgör ett underlag av råd och riktlinjer kring kost för unga fotbollsspelare och kan vara ett användbart verktyg och stöd för hälsovägledare, lärare, tränare och föräldrar. / Athletes do not always make healthy food choices meanwhile the right nutrition is prerequisite to meet the physiological commands of a soccer player. The purpose of the study was to investigate dietary habits of young people at soccer gymnasiums and compare the results with the Swedish Olympic Committee's dietary recommendations. The study was quantitative and a web survey was used as a data collection method. The questionnaire was made to collect information regarding the respondents' dietary habits, food choices, and diet in connection with performance and was answered by 132 participants, of whom 100 responses could be analyzed. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results of the study show that the majority of young people have a regular meal arrangement for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. However, they have less control over timing and what should be taken after training. In addition, the study also showed that saturated fat is popular among the participants and that they have a great desire for reduced intake of saturated fat, sweets and fast food. In conclusion, the result of this study is a basis for advice and guidelines on diet for soccer youths and can be a useful tool and support for health counselors, teachers, trainers, and parents.

Due to the fact that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of adolescents with unhealthy eating habits there is a growing recognition on the part of professionals, educators and parents for the development and implementation of an intervention programme for the facilitation of healthy eating habits. Relevant literature on eating behaviour indicated that low self-concept is associated with health compromising behaviours such as unhealthy eating habits. The nature of self-concept and eating habits was explained in order to determine important exogenous and endogenous factors as well as perspectives to use as a background for the development of a Psychoeducational intervention programme. Theoretical principles and practical applications of cognitive-behaviour therapy and hypnotherapy were analysed and used as a foundation for the development of the intervention programme. The researcher developed an Interactionism Model of Self-concept and Eating habits and a Psycho-educational programme involving cognitive-behaviour therapy and hypnotherapy to improve eating habits of adolescents. Valid and reliable measuring instruments were used in order to measure self-concept and eating habits. A pre-test post-test design was implemented to nine participants using the Adolescent Self-concept Scale (ASCS), Eating Habits Questionnaire for Adolescents (EHQA) developed by the researcher (2001) and Body Mass Index (BMI). Diagnostic measuring instruments also included the Emotions Profile Index (EPI), Draw A Person (DAP), Sentence Completion, Dietary Record and interview. Results from the empirical study indicated that adolescents with low self-concept and unhealthy eating habits responded positively to the Psycho-educational programme involving cognitive-behaviour and hypnotherapy. Specifically, there was a significant increase in selfconcept and a satisfactory improvement in eating habits. Recommendations for psychotherapy practice, educators and parents were made, based on the current research results. The contribution of the study lies in the fact that a hands-on practical implementation of the Psycho-educational programme was developed to facilitate the improvement of eating habits and it further contributes to the psychological well-being and healthy life-style of adolescents having positive implications for society. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.

L’hypoglycémie est une barrière au traitement du diabète de type 1 (DbT1). La collation au coucher est recommandée pour prévenir l’hypoglycémie nocturne (HN), mais son efficacité n’est pas démontrée. Objectif : Déterminer si une prise alimentaire en soirée est associée à la survenue d’HN. Étude observationnelle : 100 DbT1 ont porté un lecteur de glucose en continu et complété un journal alimentaire pendant 72 heures. L’HN est survenue durant 28 % des nuits. Une prise alimentaire en soirée n’était pas associée à l’HN. Toutefois, dans un modèle ajusté, l’apport en glucides en soirée était positivement associé aux HN (avec injection d’insuline rapide) et l’apport en protéines inversement associé aux HN (sans injection d’insuline rapide). Manger en soirée ne semble pas associé à moins d’HN. Des études contrôlées sont nécessaires pour comprendre l’effet de la collation au coucher sur le contrôle glycémique et le rôle de l’insuline rapide injectée en soirée. / Hypoglycemia remains a limiting factor of type 1 diabetes (T1D) treatment. Bedtime snack is often suggested to reduce nocturnal hypoglycemia (NH), but its effectiveness is not supported by evidence-based data. Objective: To determine the association between post-dinner dietary intake and NH occurrence. This is an observational study during which 100 T1D wore a blinded continuous glucose monitoring system and completed a food diary for 72 hours. NH occurred on 28 % of the 282 nights studied. Post-dinner dietary intake was not associated with NH. However, in multivariate models, carbohydrate intake was positively associated with NH (when rapid insulin was injected) and protein intake was inversely associated with NH (without rapid insulin injected). Post-dinner dietary intake does not seem to be associated with a reduce occurrence of NH. Further studies are needed to better understand the impact of bedtime snack on glycemic control and the role of the injection of rapid insulin in the evening.

In recent years, there is an apparent renaissance of the Czech cuisine, the "First Republic era" (1918 - 1938, CSR I) especially. Both chefs and journalists writing about cooking and dining are referring to the gastronomy of this time period more and more often and they are praising its quality and taste. However, there is no comprehensive publication about Czech gastronomy in 1918 - 1938 period, sparse references and notes can be found in witnesses commemorative volumes, from history of folklore and from the historical press, respectively. Based on the last especially, the image of "first republic" gastronomy is gradually puzzled out. Using a content analysis method, the four biggest newspapers (Lidové noviny, Národní listy, Český deník and Venkov) and eight women journals (Žena, Ženské listy, Ženské noviny, Ženský list, Rozsévačka, Česká Žena, Ženský svět and a "Československá žena" calendar) being published in examined period are investigated. For further findings of completive and linking facts, the historical analysis method is being used as well. Aim of this work was to answer questions about the first republic journals topics and titles, and in what fashion the first republic press thought about gastronomy. Further, this work explores the possible tendency, and development and attention is...
