ABSTRACT Objective The high prevalence of obesity and its association with chronic diseases is a major public health problem. This study aimed to evaluate a group-based Food and Nutrition Education Program for the treatment of excess weight in Brazilian women attending the Family Health Strategy. Methods This quasi-experimental intervention study was conducted among 172 women, including 87 women in the intervention group who participated in a nutritional education program that addressed topics in the area of nutrition. The Intervention and Control groups underwent an anthropometric evaluation at the beginning of the study and at the 6th month. Results At the end of the intervention, the intervention group showed a significant reduction in weight and Body Mass Index, while the control group showed an increase in these variables. Women who completed the intervention (n=71) showed a mean difference of -5.15 kg and a reduction of 2.04 points in the Body Mass Index. Still 50.7% of the participants in the intervention group achieved a weight loss greater than or equal to 5.0%, and 40.8% of them maintained this reduced weight for up to seven months after the end of the intervention. Conclusion This study emphasizes the importance of group-based food and nutritional education interventions to promote and maintain weight loss, and thus, prevent and treat chronic diseases.

The aim of Pharmaceutical Care programs is to improve patients' quality of life, and such programs are particularly effective in the case of chronic diseases such as hypertension. The objective of this longitudinal study was to analyze a Pharmaceutical Care model for hypertensive patients receiving care within the Family Health Strategy (FHS). All patients were being seen by an FHS team affiliated to a primary healthcare unit in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. Fourteen patients participated in the study, with each patient receiving six home visits during the Pharmaceutical Care. Overall, 142 drug-related problems were reported, the most common concerning the ineffectiveness of treatment (33.8%). A total of 135 pharmaceutical interventions were performed, 92.6% of which involved pharmacist-patient communication, with 48.8% of these interventions being implemented. Cardiovascular risk decreased in three patients and remained unchanged in nine. In hypertensive patients with diabetes, fasting glucose levels were reduced in six out of nine cases. The Pharmaceutical Care model proposed here was effective in detecting drug-related problems and in proposing interventions to resolve or prevent these problems. Consequently, this may have contributed towards improving clinical parameters, such as fasting glucose levels and cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients receiving care within the FHS.

A Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) visa mudar o padrão vigente de uma assistência marcada por ações curativas para outro com maior ênfase na promoção e prevenção. Entretanto, a atividade física, parte integrante dessas ações, nem sempre é de conhecimento dos profissionais da equipe mínima da ESF. Neste sentido, com a criação do Núcleo de Apoio a Saúde da Família, o profissional de Educação Física (PEF) passou a ter maior destaque nas práticas de saúde em geral, compondo a equipe de apoio da Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF), garantindo suporte para realização de práticas corporais / atividades físicas (PCAF) inclusive dos demais trabalhadores, uma vez que o ambiente laboral poderá afetar negativamente seus desempenhos profissionais. Até o presente momento, a literatura não traz referências a respeito das repercussões de uma capacitação com esse tema em profissionais de diferentes áreas de uma USF. Assim, este estudo de campo exploratório de caráter qualitativo objetivou analisar as repercussões de uma capacitação realizada por um PEF sobre assuntos referentes às PCAF na saúde e afetividade de profissionais em uma USF. Participaram nove profissionais atuantes em uma USF, selecionados por amostragem deliberada por variedades de tipo. Para a coleta de dados, foi realizada entrevista semidirigida. Para a análise e interpretação dos dados, foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo apoiada no referencial teórico do cuidando do cuidador mediante trajetória ideográfica-nomotética. A capacitação realizada por um PEF sobre assuntos referentes às PCAF em uma USF implicou em repercussões positivas na saúde e afetividade dos profissionais participantes.Palavras-chave: Educação Física e Treinamento.

However, physical activity is an essential component of these actions, and it is not always a common knowledge among the minimum ESF team. Therefore, with the implementation of the Support Nucleus to the Family Health Strategy, the Physical Education professional (PEF) started playing a relevant role in general health practices, who is indicated to be present in the support team to the Family Health Unit (USF), ensuring support to physical activity practices (PCAF), including for the other team members, since workplace may affect negatively their performance. Nevertheless, until the present moment, literature regarding the long-term repercussions of an educational training to USF professionals were not found. The aim of this exploratory qualitative study was to analyse the health and affectivity repercussions of a PCAF educational training provided by a PEF and offered to professionals in an USF. Nine USF professionals participated, who were selected through multiple-types deliberated sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Content analysis was used to interpret the data, supported by caring the carer theoretical referential, using an ideographic-nomothetic trajectory. An educational training conducted by a PEF regarding PCAF in a USF led to positive health and affectivity repercussions on participants.Keywords: Physical Education and Training.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP), self-reported hypertension, and associated factors among in elderly enrolled in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) Program. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with in elderly enrolled in the FHS Program of Campina Grande/Paraíba/Brazil. This study determined the prevalence of HBP and self-reported hypertension and their associations with demographic, socioeconomic variables, lifestyle, and number of self-reported morbidities. Three blood pressure measurements were performed, and the average value was used for analysis. To control possible confounding factors, data were modeled by the method of linear models generalized with Poisson log modeling to determine prevalence ratios and confidence intervals. The SPSS 22.0 statistical application was used, and 5% significance level was adopted. Results: High prevalence of HBP (80.9%) was observed, which was associated with the number of self-reported morbidities, both in the univariate and multivariate analyses. High prevalence of self-reported hypertension (66.4%) was also observed. In the final model, positive association between hypertension and demographic and socioeconomic variables and lifestyle was verified. Discussion: Monitor hypertension should be a priority action given its association with genetic, social and behavioral conditions presented by individuals.

Introduction: Inadequate diet, whether due to excess or insufficient calories and nutrients, results in health risk situations as well as inadequate nutritional profile. The presence of nutritional deficiencies is more visible in women and, therefore, is more likely to reflect the risks of such deficiencies. Knowing the profile of the nutritional status of the female population of Maranhão, Brazil, which provide evidence of   the nutritional status of their families, may support the creation of specific actions to combat eating problems and, consequently, improve  their health. Objective: To evaluate the nutritional profile and its relationship with social determinants in a population of women attended by the program of Family Health Strategy in Maranhão. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 989 women aged 15 to 49 years, carried out  during  July to September 2010.  Socioeconomic data were collected through a questionnaire, in addition it was applied of the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale to know the level of food insecurity. Body mass index (BMI) and hip and waist circumference measurements were obtained to verify the nutritional profile. The variables were analyzed for frequencies, distribution and central tendency. Bivariate analysis was performed as to the associations between socioeconomic variables and BMI. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used between the food safety score and the BMI, adopting a significance level of 5%. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed. Results: It was found a relationship between the BMI classification with  some social determinants such as age, family income and food insecurity. There is a high prevalence of women at nutritional risk, especially for overweight and obesity, as well as the presence of thinness and short stature. Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors have a significant association with women's Body Mass Index indicating that there is an important relationship between age-matched maternal Body Mass Index and food insecurity.
