In the last twenty years as riverine comes passing accelerated hum transition process any lifestyle, generating an increase in chronic non-communicable, especially for systemic arterial hypertension. Objective: To analyze the risk factors of hypertension of the riverine communities São Francisco and Novo Renascer, the island of Marchantaria, the city of Iranduba, State of Amazonas. Methodology: Data collection was performed in the period 08 July to 24 September 2015, with 123 bordering two communities of the island of Marchantaria, municipality of Iranduba, Amazonas. Were carried out measurement of weight, height, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio, it was checked blood pressure and performed interview for survey socioeconomic riverine level. Data were analyzed for Epi Info Program 7. Results: The results showed that in the communities study the male was majority. There was not significant association between hypertension and income. There was a negative correlation between hypertension and the level of education, both in the general population of male and female, in the divided by ages. In the analysis of marital status, there was no statistical difference for the variable marital status in your correlation with hypertension. Hypertension prevalence was 59.09% for people of the community São Francisco and 40% of the people Community Novo Renascer. In two communities, the values the anthropometric measures and blood pressure measures do not have significant differences between them, although values above the recommended by Brazilian Ministry of Health. Conclusions: The riverine residents in the Island Marchantaria, whether the community of São Francisco or Novo Renascer had equivalent prevalence of borderline blood pressure and hypertension. Risk factors for both communities, with respect to age and sex, is related to the anthropometric measures with overweight and blood pressure measures above the recommended maximums. There was smoking correlated with systemic arterial hypertension, with the highest rate in the elderly of both communities. Finally, we conclude the hypertension is a serious public health problem that afflicts riverine people, which guides the need for implementation of public health policies for health promotion and prevention of hypertension geared to riverine communities. / Introdução: Estudos epidemiológicos sobre a hipertensão arterial sistêmica são de grande importância para o conhecimento das condições que influenciam o adoecimento da população. No último vincênio, as comunidades ribeirinhas vêm passando um acelerado processo de transição no estilo de vida, gerando o aumento das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, com destaque para a hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Objetivo: Analisar os fatores de risco para hipertensão arterial sistêmica de ribeirinhos das comunidades São Francisco e Novo Renascer, da Ilha da Marchantaria, do município de Iranduba, estado do Amazonas. Metodologia: A coleta dos dados foi realizada no período de 08 de julho a 24 de setembro de 2015, com 123 ribeirinhos de duas comunidades da Ilha da Marchantaria, município de Iranduba, Amazonas. Foram realizadas mensuração do peso, altura, circunferência da cintura e da relação cintura-quadril, foi verificada a pressão arterial e realizada entrevista para levantamento do nível socioeconômico dos ribeirinhos. Os dados foram analisados pelo programa Epi Info 7. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que, nas comunidades em estudo, o sexo masculino foi maioria. Não houve associação significante entre HA e renda. Houve correlação negativa entre HAS e o nível de escolaridade, tanto na população geral de sexo masculino e feminino, quanto na dividida por idades. Na análise da situação conjugal, não houve diferença estatística para a variável situação conjugal em sua correlação com HA. A prevalência de HAS foi de 59.09% para pessoas da Comunidade de São Francisco e 40% para as pessoas da Comunidade Novo Renascer. Nas duas comunidades, os valores do IMC, RCQ e do CP não tiveram diferenças significativas entre elas, apesar do IMC e RCQ apresentarem valores acima dos preconizados pelo Ministério da Saúde. Conclusões: Os ribeirinhos residentes na Ilha da Marchantaria, independentemente de serem da Comunidade de São Francisco ou Novo Renascer apresentaram prevalência equivalente de pressão arterial limítrofe e hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Os fatores de risco para as duas comunidades, em relação a idade e sexo, estão relacionados ao índice de IMC com a classificação de sobrepeso e RCQ acima dos valores máximos preconizados. Houve correlação do tabagismo com HAS, com maior índice nas pessoas idosas de ambas comunidades. Por fim, conclui-se a hipertensão arterial sistêmica é um grave problema de saúde pública que aflige pessoas ribeirinhas, o que norteia a necessidade de implementação de políticas públicas de saúde de promoção da saúde e prevenção da hipertensão arterial sistêmica voltadas às comunidades ribeirinhas.

A obesidade é uma doença crônica que vêm alcançando proporções epidêmicas em todo o mundo. É um fator de risco para inúmeras desordens médicas, morbidade e mortalidade, além de estar também associada a um aumento dos custos socioeconômicos e com saúde. O tratamento a longo prazo, incluindo a farmacoterapia, mostra-se necessário para muitos pacientes obesos. Neste contexto, este trabalho teve a finalidade de avaliar a tolerabilidade e eficácia clínica da Fluoxetina, adjunta a uma dieta de 1.500 Kcal/dia, na redução de parâmetros antropométricos e metabólicos em mulheres obesas. Cloridrato de Fluoxetina (60 mg/dia), foi comparado ao placebo em 19 mulheres obesas, durante 90 dias de tratamento. O grupo Fluoxetina (n=9) apresentou uma redução estatisticamente significativa do peso (-9,24 vs -1,05 kg), IMC (-3,64 vs -0,45 Kg/m²) e circunferência abdominal (-12,3 vs -2,9 cm), em relação ao placebo (n=10). Observou-se ainda uma elevação estatisticamente significativa dos níveis séricos de HDL-colesterol (p< 0,01) no grupo tratado com o fármaco, e uma redução significativa dos níveis plasmáticos de triglicérides (-39,5 vs +18,7 mg/dL) quando comparado ao grupo placebo. As reações adversas mais comumente reportadas pelos pacientes foram insônia, náuseas e sonolência. Concluímos que a Fluoxetina demonstrou ser um fármaco bem tolerado e eficaz na redução de parâmetros antropométricos e metabólicos, prevenindo o desenvolvimento de fatores de risco cardiovasculares e diminuindo morbidade em mulheres obesas. / Obesity is a chronic condition that has been reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. It is a risk factor for numerous medical disorders and excessive mortality. Long-term treatment, including pharmacotherapy, may be necessary for many obese patients. This study aimed to assess the tolerability and clinical effectiveness of Fluoxetine, as an adjunct therapy to a 1.500 Kcal/day diet, in reducing anthropometric and metabolic parameters in obese women. Fluoxetine (60 mg/day), was compared to placebo in 19 obese females in a 90-day trial. Fluoxetine therapy (n=9) resulted in a statistically significant greater mean reduction in weight (-9,24 vs -1,05 kg), BMI (-3,64 vs -0,45 Kg/m²) and waist circumference (-12,3 vs -2,9 cm), than placebo group (n=10). There was also an elevation of HDL-cholesterol (p< 0,01) in Fluoxetine group and mean triglycerides levels was reduced (-39,5 vs +18,7 mg/dL) when compared to placebo. Side effects most commonly reported by the patients were insomnia, nausea and somnolence. We concluded that Fluoxetine may provide an effective and well tolerated possibility in reducing anthropometric and metabolic parameters, preventing the development of cardiovascular risk factors and reducing morbidity in obese women.

Objetivos: Associar o estado nutricional antropométrico com a aceitação alimentar dos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de enxerto ósseo alveolar no período intrahospitalar. Elaborar um Instrumento de Coleta de Dados, interdisciplinar, envolvendo as equipes de nutrição e enfermagem. Modelo: Estudo prospectivo, longitudinal, observacional, descritivo e comparativo, com abordagem quantitativa em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de enxerto ósseo alveolar. Utilizou-se avaliação nutricional antropométrica realizada em dois momentos: um dia antes da cirurgia (M1) e na alta hospitalar (M2). O Instrumento de Coleta de Dados interdisciplinar foi aplicado no período pós-operatório hospitalar. Local: Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais, Universidade de São Paulo (HRAC/USP), Bauru. Participantes: 150 pacientes, com idade entre 10 e 20 anos (exclusive), de ambos os gêneros, submetidos à cirurgia de enxerto ósseo alveolar (EOA). Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes apresentou-se eutrófica durante todo o estudo, demonstrando a adequação nutricional da dieta, suficiente para manter o estado nutricional, mesmo após serem submetidos a um trauma cirúrgico e à modificação de seu padrão alimentar. Houve boa correlação entre o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e o S da Prega Cutânea Tricipital (PCT) + Prega Cutânea Subescapular (PCSE) nos momentos M1 e M2, o mesmo ocorreu entre IMC e Circunferência Muscular Braquial (CMB) nos momentos do estudo, todos altamente significantes com p<0,0001. Quanto à aceitação alimentar, a mediana de redução dos indicadores IMC, S PCT + PCSE e CMB, de M1 para M2, para os 145 que comeram adequadamente foi de, respectivamente, 0,37, 0,0 e 0,3 e para os 5 com má aceitação da dieta foi 0,71, 3,00 e 0,0. Houve, portanto, significante maior perda de soma de pregas cutâneas para os pacientes com má aceitação em relação aos demais e a diminuição de IMC e CMB foi semelhante nos dois grupos. Conclusões: O Instrumento de coleta de dados interdisciplinar para cirurgias de EOA foi válido para a realização de adequada investigação do perfil nutricional dos pacientes pós-cirúrgicos de EOA e monitoração da aceitação alimentar. Além disto, demonstrou ser elemento agregador ao trabalho interdisciplinar da nutrição com a enfermagem, uma vez associar o estado nutricional antropométrico com a monitoração e aceitação alimentar. O instrumento mostrou, então, ser de natureza estratégica para esta ação. / Aim: Relate the nutritional anthropometric status with food acceptance by patients who have undergone alveolar bone grafting during hospital stay. Elaborate an interdisciplinary instrument for data collection, involving nutrition and nursing team. Model: It consists of a prospective, longitudinal, observational, descriptive and comparative study, with quantitative approach. Patients with alveolar bone grafts were included. A nutritional anthropometric evaluation was utilized at two moments: one day before the surgery (M1) and at hospital discharge (M2). The interdisciplinary instrument for data collection was utilized during the patients stay in the hospital. Location: Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP), Bauru. Sample: 150 patients, aged 10 to 20 years (exclusively), both genders, with alveolar bone graft (ABG). Results: Most patients were eutrophic during the study, adapting to the diet which is enough to keep nutritional status even after a surgical trauma or change in the eating pattern. There was correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and a S Triceps skin fold (TSF) + Subscapular skin fold (SSF) at M1 and M2. The same occurred between BMI and Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) during the study. All of them were significant with p<0.0001. Regarding food acceptance, the median of reduction indicator for BMI, S TSF + SSF and MUAC, from M1 to M2, for the 145 who ate appropriately was respectively 0.37, 0,0 and 0.3 and 0.71, 3,.0 e 0.0 for the five ones who have not accepted the diet . Therefore, patients who have not done the diet appropriately showed increased loss of skin fold compared to the others. BMI and MUAC showed similar decrease in both groups. Conclusions: The interdisciplinary instrument for data collection to ABG surgeries was useful to perform appropriate investigation on the Nutritional Profile of postsurgical patients of ABG and supervision of food acceptance. In addition, it became an aggregating element to the interdisciplinary work of nutrition and nursing since it associates the nutritional anthropometric status with supervision and food acceptance. Thus, the instrument was strategic for this action.

Introdução - Nos últimos anos diversas hipóteses foram investigadas sobre a relação entre gordura corporal e a massa óssea. Objetivo - O presente estudo visa avaliar a associação de índices de gordura corporal e massa óssea em adultos e idosos. Metodologia - O estudo foi desenvolvido com os dados obtidos do estudo transversal de base populacional intitulado Inquérito Domiciliar de Saúde no Município de São Paulo (ISA Capital 2015), realizada de janeiro de 2015 a maio de 2016. A amostra foi composta por 296 indivíduos, sendo 129 adultos (18 a 59 anos) e 167 idosos (60 anos ou mais), de ambos os sexos. Utilizando os dados antropométricos, foram calculados os índices: Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC), Índice de Conicidade (IC), Índice de Circularidade Corporal (ICC), Índice de Formato Corporal (IFC), Índice de Adiposidade Corporal (IAC), Índice de Gordura Corporal (IGC) e Índice de Adiposidade Visceral (IAV). Além disso, foram avaliados os dados de gordura corporal (GC) em kg, gordura visceral (GV em gramas), porcentagem de gordura corporal ( por centoGC) e densidade mineral óssea de corpo total (DMO CT), coluna lombar (DMO L1- L4) e do colo do fêmur (DMO femoral), obtidos pelo DXA (modelo Lunar iDXA Advance, GE Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA). Foram calculadas estatísticas descritivas (média, desvio-padrão, percentis); a normalidade foi testada por Anderson- Darling, foi aplicado o teste Mann-Whitney e a correlações de Spearman. A GC (kg) foi ajustada por sexo e idade e a DMO CT, L-L4 e femoral foram ajustadas por gênero, classe etária, atividade física, ingestão de álcool e tabagismo com o uso de Modelos Lineares Generalizados. Uma vez identificado o modelo mais adequado a uma variável resposta, procurou-se reduzir o número de parâmetros com uso do Critério de Informação Akaike (AIC). Para realizar essas análises foi utilizado o software SPSS, 23.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago IL, USA) e R (Projeto para estatística em sistema computacional) for Windows, versão 3.4.1. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5 por cento. Resultados - No artigo 1 é apresentado uma revisão sobre a relação entre os índices antropométricos e de gordura corporal com Doenças Crônicas Não-Transmissíveis (DCNT) como diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial sistêmica, síndrome metabólica entre outras. No artigo 2, foi observado baixa proporção de osteoporose nos participantes. Na relação entre os índices antropométricos com a GC (kg), verificamos que com exceção do IFC e IAV, os demais índices apresentaram correlação positiva e significante com a GC em kg (p<0,001). Entretanto, o modelo que apresentou o melhor ajuste e associação para a GC foi o IGC (89,97 por cento), seguido do IMC (83,93 por cento). Na associação dos índices com a DMO nos 3 sítios (DMO CT, L-L4 e femoral), observamos baixos valores de predição dos modelos avaliados, sendo que o modelo que apresentou melhor associação foi o IMC para DMO femoral. Conclusão O índice antropométrico que mais se aproximou da GC (kg) foi o IMC, como observado na análise de correlação e confirmado na análise inferencial, uma vez que as fórmulas para obtenção de ambos os índices são muito semelhantes. Na relação com a DMO, nenhum índice antropométrico é capaz de predizer a DMO nos 3 sítios avaliados na amostra estudada. / Introduction - In recent years several hypotheses have been investigated on the relationship between body fat and bone mass. Objective - The present study aims to evaluate the association of body composition indexes and bone mass in adults and the elderly. Methods - The study was conducted in a subsample from the populationbased cross-sectional study titled Health Study of São Paulo (ISA-Capital Study- 2015), held from january 2015 to may 2016. This 396 individuals, 129 adults (18 to 59 years) and 167 elderly (60 and over), of both sexes. Data on demographic, anthropometric [weight (kg), height (m), waist circumference and hip (cm)], body composition (body fat distribution) and bone (bone mineral density and composition) analyzed. The ratios was calculated, ranked and analyzed: Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Adiposity Index (BAI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), a Body Shape Index (ABSI) and the Conicity Index (C index) and as a comparison method was the Fat Mass Index (FMI) obtained by DXA. Bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated in the lumbar spine L1-L4 and femoral neck through energy dual beam absorptiometry technique, issued by an X-ray source - DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) Lunar model iDXA Advance (GE Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA). Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, percentiles) were calculated; the normality was tested by Anderson-Darling, thus the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman correlations were applied. The BF (kg) was adjusted by gender and age and the CT, L-L4 and femoral BMD were adjusted for gender, age group, physical activity, alcohol intake e smoking, with the use of Generalized Linear Models. Once the most appropriate model was identified for a response variable, we attempted to reduce the number of parameters using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The SPSS software, 23.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago IL, USA) and R (Computer statistical system design) for Windows, version 3.4.1 for data analysis were used. The level of significance was set at 5 per cent. Results - In article 1, it presents revision about the relationship between anthropometric and body fat indexes with chronic-degenerative diseases (CDC) such as diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, among others. In article 2 a low proportion of osteoporosis was observed in the participants. In the relationship between the anthropometric indices with the BF (kg), we observed that, with the exception of the IFC and VAI, the other indexes presented a positive and significant correlation with the BF in kg (p <0.001). However, the model that presented the best fit and association for BF was FMI (89.97 per cent), followed by BMI (83,93 per cent). In the association of the indexes with BMD in the 3 sites, we observed low values of prediction of the models evaluated, and the model that presented the best association was the BMI for femoral BMD. Conclusion - The anthropometric index that most approached the BF (kg) was BMI, as observed in the correlation analysis and confirmed in the inferential analysis, since the formulas to obtain both indices are very similar. In relation to BMD, no anthropometric index is able to predict BMD at the 3 sites evaluated in the studied sample.

Introdução: A dor pélvica crônica (DPC) é queixa frequente na prática ginecológica. É definida como dor localizada na região da pelve, não exclusivamente menstrual, persistente por pelo menos seis meses e intensa o suficiente para causar incapacidade funcional. Dentre as causas ginecológicas relacionadas à DPC está a endometriose, que tem como principal problema clínico a síndrome dolorosa, manifestando-se como dismenorreia, dor pélvica, dor abdominal, dispareunia, e defecação dolorosa. Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a média da composição corporal e de marcadores antropométricos, análise do comportamento alimentar e avalição de dor, comparando dois grupos de mulheres com DPC (dor pélvica crônica) secundário a endometriose e secundário a outras causas. Metodologia: Foram convidadas 122 mulheres com diagnóstico clínico de DPC secundária à endometriose e secundário a outras causas, através do método de seleção de amostra não probalística, recrutadas no Ambulatório de Dor Pélvica Crônica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (AGDP-HCFMRP-USP). Ao aceitarem participar da pesquisa, assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. E foram submetidas a uma avaliação antropométrica (peso, altura, circunferência cintura, abdômen e quadril), avaliação alimentar (recordatório de 24 horas), exame de bioimpedância para avaliar a porcentagem de gordura e a escala visual Analógica - EVA, que trata-se de uma escala de 0 a 10 para avaliar dor. Trata-se de um estudo tipo casocontrole. O grupo caso é caracterizado por mulheres com DPC secundário a outras causas como síndrome miosfascial, dispareunia, entre outras e o grupo controle caracterizado por mulheres com DPC secundário a endometriose, diagnosticadas através de avaliação de exames específicos. Resultados: Das 122 mulheres convidadas apenas 91 mulheres finalizaram o estudo, sendo que destas 46 mulheres diagnosticadas com DPC secundário a endometriose e 45 mulheres com DPC secundário a outras causas. Caracterizados como grupo com endometriose e sem endometriose. A média de idade do grupo com endometriose era é de 36,78 ± 7,58 e do grupo sem endometriose 38,55 ± 7,5 anos. Não houve diferente significativa entre a porcentagem de gordura (p. 0,2153) sendo que a média do percentual de gordura no grupo com endometriose foi 34,92% ±6,11 e sem endometriose 36,95 ±6,1. A análise de intensidade da dor foi: 7,2±2,06 no grupo com endometriose e 5,93 ±2,64 no grupo sem endometriose (p. 0,0302). Em relação ao recordatório alimentar que avaliou macronutrientes e micronutrientes, também não houve diferença entre os macronutrientes avaliados, a média da ingestão de calorias do grupo com endometriose foi de 1633,76 Kcal ± 714,63 e sem endometriose de 1477,5±707,11 (p. 0,1581). Mas com relação aos micronutrientes, o zinco apresentou diferença significante (p.0,0417) em relação aos dois grupos analisados, sendo no grupo endometriose uma ingestão média 11,46 mg ±9,98 e o grupo sem endometriose 8,17mg ±7,77, onde ambos os grupos tiveram ingestão maiores que a recomendação pela OMS, O aminoácido triptofano apresentou diferença significativa (0,0494) entre os grupos avaliados. A recomendação diária (RDA) para triptofano é 5 mg/dia. O grupo caso teve uma média de ingestão de 506,55 mg ±407,89 e o grupo controle 373,57 mg ±392,48. Conclusão: Conclui-se que não existe diferença em relação a todos os parâmetros antropométricos avaliados em ambos os grupos a não ser o que diz sobre o micronutriente zinco e o aminoácido triptofano analisados pelo recordatório alimentar de 24 horas, o que demonstra que devem ser realizados intervenções semelhantes em ambos os grupos, mas que novos estudos ainda são necessários. / Introduction: Chronic pelvic pain (DPC) is a frequent complaint in gynecological practice. It is defined as localized pain in the region of the pelvis, not exclusively menstrual, persistent for at least six months and intense enough to cause functional disability. Among the gynecological causes related to CPD is endometriosis, which has as main clinical problem the painful syndrome, manifesting itself as dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and painful defecation. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the mean body composition and anthropometric markers, food behavior analysis and pain assessment, comparing two groups of women with CPD (chronic pelvic pain) secondary to endometriosis and secondary to other causes. Methodology: Twenty-two women with clinical diagnosis of PCD secondary to endometriosis and secondary to other causes were invited through the non-probalistic sample selection method, recruited at the Chronic Pelvic Pain Clinic of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Medical School of Ribeirão Preto Of São Paulo (AGDP-HCFMRP-USP). Upon agreeing to participate in the research, they signed the informed consent form. They were submitted to an anthropometric evaluation (weight, height, waist circumference, abdomen and hip), food evaluation (24 hour recall), bioimpedance test to evaluate fat percentage and visual analog scale - EVA, which is Of a scale from 0 to 10 to assess pain. It is a case-control study. The case group is characterized by women with PCD secondary to other causes such as myosfascial syndrome, dyspareunia, among others, and the control group characterized by women with CPD secondary to endometriosis, diagnosed through evaluation of specific exams. Results: Of the 122 women invited, only 91 women completed the study, of which 46 women were diagnosed with PCD secondary to endometriosis and 45 women with PCD secondary to other causes. Characterized as a group with endometriosis and without endometriosis. The mean age of the group with endometriosis was 36.78 ± 7.58 and the group without endometriosis was 38.55 ± 7.5 years. There was no significant difference between the percentage of fat (p <0.2153) and the mean percentage of fat in the group with endometriosis was 34.92% ± 6.11 and without endometriosis 36.95 ± 6.1. The analysis of pain intensity was: 7.2 ± 2.06 in the group with endometriosis and 5.93 ± 2.64 in the group without endometriosis (p 0.0302). In relation to the food recall that evaluated macronutrients and micronutrients, there was also no difference between the macronutrients evaluated, the average calorie intake of the group with endometriosis was 1633.76 Kcal ± 714.63 and without endometriosis of 1477.5 ± 707, 11 (p.15,151). However, in relation to the micronutrients, zinc presented a significant difference (p.0.0417) in relation to the two groups analyzed, being in the endometriosis group an average intake of 11.46 mg ± 9.98 and the group without endometriosis 8.17 ± 7 , 77, where both groups had higher intakes than the WHO recommendation. The amino acid tryptophan had a significant difference (0.0494) between the groups evaluated. The daily recommendation (RDA) for tryptophan is 5 mg / day. The case group had an average intake of 506.55 mg ± 407.89 and the control group 373.57 mg ± 392.48. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is no difference in relation to all anthropometric parameters evaluated in both groups, except for what is said about the zinc micronutrient and the tryptophan amino acid analyzed by the 24-hour food recall, which demonstrates that they must be performed Interventions in both groups, but that further studies are still needed.

Sports vision gained attention in the late 90’s and has since been the focus of many research studies. Thus far sports vision research has effectively succeeded in determining the importance of visual skills and also discovering the ability to improve visual skills through training. It is this ability to enhance visual skill performance that has led to the development of vision training programmes. However, the effectiveness of these training programmes is far from unanimous with many studies yielding inconclusive results. Possible reasons for this are the lack of scientific measures implored, testing and training of skills that are not specific to the subjects and training programmes that are unrealistic. Another major area that is missing from sports vision research is the accountability of external variables like; lifestyle, anthropometric and cardiac measurements. Aspects such as; stress, nutrition and hypo/hypertension are proposed to either have an enhancing or declining effect on visual skills. These relationships have not been scientifically tested and remain undefined. It is also important to note that research has thus far been limited to athletes. This study therefore aimed to determine the effect of two different training programmes on the visual skill performance of university students. Furthermore, external variables are determined to certify that visual skill training alone would improve visual skills and to determine and define if any relationships exist between visual skills and external variables. In order to meet the aims of this study, volunteer university students underwent pre testing of specific visual skills together with lifestyle evaluations, body composition and cardiac health testing. Thereafter the total participants (n=600) were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n=169) acted as a control group with no visual training taking place in a six week period, group 2 (n=225) underwent lab-based training with a simple repetition of testing methods used as training methods and group 3 (n=205) underwent training via an internet- based training method. Thereafter all variables were tested again and statistical analysis of the data was performed. Results showed the lab-based training group having the most improvement in visual skills with all skills improving besides vergence. The Eyedrills training group also showed significant improvements in focusing, tracking and eye- hand coordination. The control group showed the least improvement in visual skills thereby ruling out the notion of improvements occurring only due to test familiarity. Significant changes occurred in a variety of the external variables across the three groups. Due to the varied results with regards to external variables, correlations between these variables and visual skill performance is still unclear and remains undefined. There is enough evidence from this study to conclude that visual skills are improved due to visual skill training. The change from the typical subject type (i.e. athletes) is important in the expansion of visual skill testing and training to other fields besides the sports one. The effect of external variables on visual skills still remains unanswered and therefore more precise research in this regard is warranted. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / gm2014 / Physiology / unrestricted

Objectives: The aim of this non-interventional observational study was to determine the nutritional statu s of long-term hospitalized pacients in a psychiatric hospital using anthropometric indicators of nutritional status. Assess the presence of overweight, obesity and pathological waist circumference in patients with schizophrenia. Evaluate the incidence of malnutrition and risk of its development in patients with dementia. Methods: The data were obtained by measuring the selected patients in Psychiatric hospital Kosmonosy, were collected data on body weight, arm circumference, waist and calf. Data were completed by information from nursing records - body height of the patient, age, length of hospital stay and used antipsychotic medication. The data of weight and height were used to calculated BMI. Results: The study included a total of 121 patients, of whom 56 (46.28 %) men and 65 (53.72 %) women. Patients were divided into two groups by diagnosis, the first group of schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorders (93 patients) and another group with a diagnosis of dementia (28 patients). In the first group, the incidence of overweight was present in 26.88 % of patients, obesity in 25.81 % of patients and abdominal obesity was present in 79.57 % of patients. The highest average BMI, the prevalence...

In South Africa, a representative anthropometric study of South African women has never been undertaken, as such little is known about the body shapes of South African women. Nevertheless, research on the body shapes of South African women is ongoing (Makhanya, 2012). According to the preliminary findings of Makhanya’s (2012) research, 59.26% of South African female students of African descent have a triangular body shape. The triangular body shape differs from the ideal body shape that ready-to-wear apparel sizing is presently based on, and is a contributing factor to the problems experienced with the quality of fit of ready-to-wear apparel by South African women of African descent. Therefore, the aim of this exploratory study was to develop experimental size specifications for the body measurements required for a basic sheath dress for South African female students of African descent with a triangular body shape. The students were of medium height, aged between 18 and 25 years, in the size 6/30 to size 14/38 size range, and enrolled at the University of Pretoria. The experimental size specifications were developed by statistically analysing an anthropometric database of female students of the University of Pretoria using regression analysis. Thereafter, the quality of fit attained from the experimental size specifications and the traditional (i.e. current) size specifications was evaluated to determine whether the experimental size specifications offer the unit of analysis with improved overall quality of fit. A panel of professionals with experience in apparel fit evaluation evaluated the quality of fit of the test garments. The test garments developed from the experimental size specifications were considered by the panel of professionals to offer the unit of analysis with improved overall quality of fit. The findings of the study suggest that South African ready-to-wear apparel sizing needs to accommodate the different body shapes found in South Africa. / Dissertation (MConsumer Science)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / gm2014 / Consumer Science / unrestricted

<p>U cilju utvrđivanja efekata procene specifičnog programa vežbanjana motoričke sposobnosti i antropometrijske karakteristike dece pred&scaron;kolskog uzrasta, primenjene subaterija od 7 motoričkih testova i osam antropometrijskih mera. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 191pred&scaron;kolca (90 u eksperimentalnim i 101 u kontrolnim grupama), uzrasta od 4 do 5 godina. Oni su bili ispitanici u tri projekta koje je realizovao Fakultet sporta i fizičkog vaspitanja Novi Sad, u periodu od deset godina. Dobijeni podaci su analizirani multivarijacionom analizom kovarijanse (MANCOVA). Moglo se zaključiti da je primena eksperimentalnog programa vežbanja dovela do značajnog pobolj&scaron;anja pojedinih motoričkih sposobnosti eksperimentalnih grupa u odnosu na kontrolne grupe. U prostoru antropometrije nije pokazana statistički značajna razlika između grupa u posmatrane tri vremenske tačke u periodu od deset godina. Ova doktorska disertacija je pokazala na pozitivne efekte na transformaciju pojedinih dimenzija antropolo&scaron;kog statusa u različitim vremenskim tačkama i sa različitim generacijama dece, bez obzira na socio-ekonomskog statusa nivo fizičke aktivnosti dece. U osnovi, praktična vrednost ovog rada je analizirani model kineziolo&scaron;kih aktivnosti, koji se može primeniti u svim klubovima i &scaron;kolama koje rade sa decom pred&scaron;kolskog i ranog &scaron;kolskog uzrasta.</p> / <p>In order to determine the evaluation effects of specific exercise program on motor abilities and anthropometric characteristicsof preschool children, a battery of 7 motor tests and eightanthropometric measures were applied.The current study was conducted on a sample of 191preschoolers (90 in the experimental and 101 in the control groups), aged 4 to 5 five. They were the respondents in three projects implemented by the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education Novi Sad, in the tenyear period. The obtained data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). It can be concluded that the application of experimental and control models of exercise resulted in substantial improvement of certain motor skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. In the space of anthropometry it was not statistically significant difference between groups in the observed three time points in the ten-year period.This doctoral thesis revealed that positive effects of the transformation of certain dimensions&nbsp; anthropological statusat different time points and with different generations of children, regardless of socioeconomic status, level of physical activity of children. In fact, the practical value of this work is to analyze the model of kinetic activities, which as such can be applied to all clubs and schools that work with children of preschool and early school age.</p>

Orientador: Milton Vieira do Prado Junior / Resumo: Este estudo nasceu do interesse demonstrado pelos alunos em trabalho realizado para uma disciplina do PROEF. O trabalho foi sobre estilo de vida e avaliação do crescimento e desenvolvimento físico. Participaram dessa pesquisa 621 alunos sendo 302 meninas e 319 meninos, com idades entre 10 e 18 anos e que frequentam uma escola pública da rede estadual de ensino na cidade de Bauru- SP estando matriculados entre o 6.º ano do Ensino Fundamental e 3.ª série do Ensino Médio. Esses alunos estão passando por uma fase de transição entre a infância e a vida adulta, mais conhecida como adolescência na qual corpo, mente e suas relações sociais estão em processo de formação. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi identificar qual é o perfil de estilo de vida global e individual bem como o perfil antropométrico dos alunos. O estudo é de caráter descritivo, qualitativo, quantitativo, exploratório e transversal já que estabelece relações entre variáveis (dimensões corporais e fatores de estilo de vida) com abordagem de análise qualitativa e, em alguns momentos, quantitativa. Para tanto foram realizadas Avaliação Antropométrica e Avaliação PEVI (Perfil Individual do Estilo de Vida). Na avaliação PEVI foram avaliados cinco fatores: nutrição, atividade física, comportamento preventivo, controle de estresse e relacionamentos. Na avaliação antropométrica analisamos as variáveis peso, estatura, envergadura e as relações antropométricas RCQ, RCE e IMC. Percebemos que a maioria dos alunos (64,4%) se ...

The work was about lifestyle and assessing growth and physical development. 621 students participated in this research, being 302 girls and 319 boys, aged between 10 and 18 years old, who attend a public school in the state school system in the city of Bauru- SP, enrolled between the 6th grade of Elementary School and the 3rd grade of Education Medium. These students are going through a transition phase between childhood and adulthood, better known as adolescence in which body, mind and their social relationships are in the process of formation. The main objective of this study was to identify the global and individual lifestyle profile as well as the students' anthropometric profile. The study is descriptive, qualitative, quantitative, exploratory and transversal since it establishes relationships between variables (body dimensions and lifestyle factors) with a qualitative and, at times, quantitative analysis approach. For that, anthropometric assessment and PEVI assessment - individual lifestyle profile) were carried out. In the PEVI evaluation, five factors were evaluated: nutrition, physical activity, preventive behavior, stress control and relationships. In the anthropometric evaluation, we analyzed the variables weight, height, wingspan and the anthropometric relationships RCQ, RCE and BMI. We noticed that the majority of students (64,4%) are between the intermediate and ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
