Abstract Objective: To identify dietary patterns and prospectively evaluate their influence on the BMI Z-score of adolescents. Design: A longitudinal study, using data from the Longitudinal Study on Sedentary Behavior, Physical Activity, Eating Habits and Adolescent Health – LONCAAFS. Setting: To obtain data on food consumption, a 24-h recall survey was conducted; a second 24-h recall was applied to 30 % of the sample in all waves. Dietary patterns were identified by exploratory factor analysis using principal components. BMI Z-score was determined according to the recommendation of the WHO, based on the BMI for age and sex. Socio-economic data, sedentary behaviour and physical activity level were obtained. Associations between BMI Z-score and dietary patterns and between BMI Z-score and variables of interest were determined using generalised estimating equations. Participants: Totally, 1431 adolescents were assessed in 2014, 1178 in 2015, 959 in 2016 and 773 in 2017, belonging to the public schools of João Pessoa, Northeast Brazil. Results: Three dietary patterns were identified throughout the study: ‘traditional’, ‘snacks’ and ‘Western’. The ‘Western’ dietary pattern was positively associated with BMI Z-score (β = 0·025; 95 % CI 0·002, 0·048), regardless of sex and physical activity level, prospectively. Conclusion: A dietary pattern composed of foods with high energy density, high fat and sugars, and low fibre influences the BMI Z-score of adolescents over time.

The Impact

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a number of changes in social life around the world. In response to the growing number of infections, some countries have introduced restrictions that may have resulted in the change of the lifestyle. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of the lockdown on body weight, physical activity and some eating habits of the society. The survey involving 183 people was conducted using a proprietary questionnaire. The mean age of the study participants was 33 ± 11 and mean height 169 ± 8 cm. An average increase in body weight was observed in 49.18% by 0.63 ± 3.7 kg which was the result of a decrease in physical activity and an increase in food consumption. We also observed a decrease in PAL from 1.64 ± 0.15 to 1.58 ± 0.13 and changes in the amount of food and individual groups of products consumption, including alcohol. Among the study participants who did not lose body mass, there was an average weight gain of 2.25 ± 2.5 kg. In conclusion, an increase of weight was shown in about half of the respondents in the study group which was associated with a decrease in physical activity and an increase in the consumption of total food and high energy density products.

Estudo transversal e analítico que identificou estado nutricional, padrões alimentares e nível de atividade física em 276 adolescentes, com idade de 14 a 17 anos. O estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo Índice de Massa Corporal e a medida da Circunferência da Cintura. Para avaliar o consumo e as práticas alimentares, foi aplicado um questionário adaptado da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar, de 2009. O nível de atividade física foi classificado de acordo com o International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Encontravam-se eutróficos 89,9% desta população e 27,2% apresentavam risco para doenças cardiovasculares. Foram identificados quatro padrões alimentares: saudável; ultraprocessado; cafeteria; ambiente escolar. Pertenciam ao padrão saudável 62,5% dos adolescentes com excesso de massa corporal e 56,2% dos adolescentes com risco cardiovascular. A maioria encontrava-se no nível de atividade física, que oferece menor risco para doenças cardiovasculares, independente dos padrões alimentares. Contudo, dados fornecidos na construção dos padrões alimentares e de inatividade reforçam a percepção de que esta população pode estar suscetível a doenças cardiovasculares na idade adulta, se mantiver as práticas atuais.

Nutritional habits and physical activity influence the health status and cognition of young adults. The objective of this study was to assess the physical activity level and dietary pattern of undergraduate students of Kogi State University, Anyigba Kogi State. In this study, a group of 246 students from the university (150 female and 96 male subjects) were engaged. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Health Research ethics committee, Kogi state ministry of health and all students signed a written consent form. With the aid of a validated questionnaire, interview was conducted to obtain information on demographic and physical activity levels after obtaining informed consent from the target population. Anthropometric measurements were carried out to ascertain the nutritional status, and dietary intakes were equally assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. 27.4% and 6.4% of target population recorded low and high levels of physical activity respectively. Healthy weight was recorded at 72% and obesity at 3.7%. Despite the high percentage in healthy weight, a low physical activity level was recorded, with inadequate meal patterns and food choices. This suggests an urgent necessity for improving overall health status of students by implementing a university based nutrition and exercise awareness programme.

The study aimed to analyze the association among adults daily physical activities and dietary patterns with central adiposity in the Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. The study method was an observational with a cross-sectional design. Sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total participants of 319. The data of socio-demographic, anthropometric measurement, and physical activity were collected using Physical Activity Level (PAL). While food consumption data were obtained using the method of food frequency and recall 2 x 24 hours. Subjects studied were females (77.7%) and males (22.3%), abdominal circumference for men subjects 82.3 ± 14.6 cm and 84.7 ± 12.4 cm for women, the mean physical activity level on weekdays 1.54 ± 0.2 and holidays 1.53 ± 0.1. Energy intake was higher in respondents with normal nutritional status than subjects with central obesity but did not differ significant between the subject study. In protein intake, there was a significant difference between the subject study, which is, the consumption of protein was higher in subjects with normal nutritional status (97.93 gr) compared to the subjects with central obesity (96.24 gr). Food groups with frequent scores, above 0.43 were rice, fresh fish, kale, tomato, chili, coconut oil, and palm oil. There was association between physical activity and central obesity (p-value 0.027). Eating habits included frequency of staple foods, animal-based protein, plant-based protein, vegetables, fruit, oil, and beverage groups showed no significant association with central obesity. There was an association between central obesity with physical activity but no association with dietary patterns.
