ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to evaluate dietary intake, nutritional status, and growth rate in children and adolescents with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction and portal hypertension. Methods: Outpatients aged 1-18 years, diagnosed with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction and portal hypertension, who had no associated diseases, and who had not been subjected to a venous shunt were included in this study. Two evaluations were carried out in this study: an initial (evaluation 1) and a final evaluation (evaluation 2), with a three-month minimum interval between them. In each evaluation, dietary intake was analyzed comparing the results with recommended energy intake using the Harris & Benedict equation and participants’ anthropometric data, such as weight, height, mid-arm muscle circumference, weight-for-age, height-for-age, and body mass index-for-age, based on the World Health Organization 2006 standards. Results: A total of 22 patients participated in this study. There was a significant improvement in weight, height, body mass index, and mid-arm muscle circumference measurements (p<0.001; p<0.001; p<0.017; p=0.0018 respectively) and in the relationship between dietary intake and energy recommended energy intake, according to the Harris & Benedict equation (p=0.0001) from the first and second evaluation. Conclusion: Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction and portal hypertension were not shown to be factors predisposing to malnourishment.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to establish the best cutoff values for waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and HOMA-IR (HR) to identify a cluster (> 3) of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in normal glucose-tolerant (NGT) Brazilian children and adolescents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 319 individuals (aged 10 to 19y) from a southern Brazilian city. Gender-specific receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curves were constructed to assess cutoffs values of BMI (kg/m², WC (cm), and HR. RESULTS: The areas under the ROC curves to detect a cluster of CVRF were 0.92, 0.93 and 0.68 (females), and 0.93, 0.93 and 0.89 (males), for WC, BMI and HR, respectively. The cutoff values were 83.0 and 80.5 cm (WC), 22.7 and 20.4 kg/m2 (BMI), and 1.65 and 1.95 (HR), for females and males, respectively, to detect the cluster of CVRF. CONCLUSION: These values of BMI, WC-) and (HR) detected a high proportion of NGTt Brazilian children and adolescents with a cluster of CVRF.

Os objetivos desta revisão sistemática foram verificar quais são os pontos de corte para a classificação do IMC, qual é o mais utilizado e a sua aplicabilidade em estudos populacionais com idosos. A partir da base de dados BVS, os descritores utilizados para a busca foram índice de massa corporal, estado nutricional e idoso. Foram encontrados 492 artigos, e desses 21 foram excluídos por duplicação, resultando em 471. Apenas 24 atenderam os critérios de inclusão. No total, foram encontradas quatro referências distintas para classificar os pontos de corte do IMC:Lipschitz, World Health Organization, Nutrition Screening Initiative e Organização Pan Americana de Saúde. O ponto de corte do índice de massa corporal mais utilizado pela literatura é a classificação recomendada pela WHO. O IMC é utilizado com o intuito de avaliar o estado nutricional, associar com co-fatores de saúde; e relacionar seus valores e classificação com risco de morbimortalidade.Descritores: Índice de massa corporal; Estado nutricional; Idoso.The aim of this systematic review were to assess what are the cutoff points for BMI classification, which is the most used and their applicability in population studies with elderly. From the base of BVS data, the descriptors used for the search were body mass index, nutritional status and elderly. 492 articles were found, and of these 21 were excluded for duplication, resulting in 471. Only 24 met the inclusion criteria. In total, four distinct references were found to classify the BMI cutoff points: Lipschitz, World Health Organization, Nutrition Screening Initiative and the Pan American Health Organization's cutoff of body mass index most widely used in the literature is recommended classification by WHO. BMI is used in order to assess nutritional status, co-factors associated with health; and relate their values andclassification with risk of mortality.Descriptors: Body Mass Index; Nutrition status; Aged.Los objetivos de esta revisión sistemática fueron determinar cuáles son los puntos de corte para la clasificación del IMC, que es el más utilizado y su aplicación en estudios de población con edad avanzada.

Objective To examine the association between nutritional status and dietary factors in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis that are carriers of delta F508 mutation. Methods Cross-sectional study of cystic fibrosis children and adolescents. Nutritional status (body mass index percentile) and dietary intake (3-day diet records presented as a percentage of estimated energy requirement) were assessed. Results Thirty six patients (median of 8.6; interquartile range 6.8-12.5 years; 50% male). The Poisson regression analysis showed that the carriers for delta F508 mutation had 60% lower prevalence ratio of body mass index ≥25° (PR=0.4; 95%IC=0.2-0.8) and 90% lower prevalence ratio (PR=0.1; confidence interval 95%IC=0.02-0.3) of ≥150% of estimated energy requirement when compared with non-delta F508 mutation carriers. The model was adjusted for lung function, estimated energy requirement, and body mass index. Conclusion Carriers for delta F508 mutation showed lower body mass index percentile and lower daily caloric consumption when compared with patients without this mutation.
