Abstract Women have been dissatisfied with their own appearance. This study aimed to evaluate whether the media can influence changes in body image regarding weight concern, satisfaction and dysfunctional investment of one’s own appearance in female runway models and non-models. This survey was composed of Brazilian women, models who were linked with an agency, and non-models. Data collection was carried out using Google Forms, sending links to invite eligible subjects. In total, 102 models and 247 non-models participated in the survey. Sample Characterization Questionnaire, weight and height reports for the Body Mass Index, Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3), Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire - Appearance Scales (MBRSQ /AS) and Appearance Schemas Inventory - Revised (ASI-R) were used. The result showed that non-models are more susceptible to pressure from the media and that having body measurements considered ideal, like models, reduces social pressure on the body.

Resumen Las mujeres están insatisfechas con su propria apariencia física. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar si los medios de comunicación pueden influir en la imagen corporal de las mujeres respecto a la preocupación por el peso, la satisfacción e inversión disfuncional de la propia apariencia en mujeres modelos de pasarela y las no modelos. Se utilizó una muestra de mujeres brasileñas, modelos vinculadas a una agencia y no modelos. Se recogieron datos de Google Forms. Se contó con la participación de 102 modelos y 247 no modelos.

Abstract CrossFit is a strength-and-conditioning physical activity programme that some studies have shown results in healthier body image outcomes. However, prior studies have typically examined CrossFit in isolation, without adequate group comparison. This study aimed to investigate body image experiences in CrossFit athletes in comparison to weight-trainers and non-athletes. The study used a cross-sectional design in which CrossFit athletes, weight-trainers, and non-athletes from Brazil were asked to complete a measure of positive body image (i.e., body appreciation), negative body image (i.e., body dissatisfaction), and gender-specific muscle-oriented body image (i.e., muscularity concerns in women and muscle dysmorphia symptomatology in men). Betweengroup comparisons showed that CrossFit athletes and weight-trainers had healthier body image than non-athletes, but differences between the two groups were small. There were no significant between-group differences in muscularity concerns in women, whereas weight-training men had a significantly higher drive for size compared to both CrossFit athletes and non-athletes. Male CrossFit athletes and weight-trainers also showed significantly higher functional impairment as a result of exercise compared to nonathletes. These results suggest that participation in CrossFit may be a route to promoting a healthier body image while mitigating unhealthy muscularity-related attitudes and behaviours. More broadly, our results support the suggestion that physical activity is associated with a healthier body image.

RESUMO Objetivo Este estudo se propôs a investigar se atitudes, crenças, práticas, hábitos alimentares e estado nutricional dos responsáveis influenciam os hábitos alimentares e o estado nutricional de crianças de 6 a 9 anos. Methods Estudo transversal com 164 crianças e um respectivo responsável por sua alimentação (n=164), desenvolvido em Unidades de Saúde da Família do município de Ribeirão Preto (SP). Realizaram-se aferição de peso e estatura, aplicação do Questionário de Alimentação da Criança e Recordatório Alimentar de 24 horas (para cálculo do Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado), além de verificação da adesão aos Passos da Alimentação Saudável do Ministério da Saúde, por meio de um questionário. Results Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as prevalências de sobrepeso foram de 18,3% nas crianças e de 32,9% nos responsáveis, e as prevalências de obesidade foram de 15,9% e 37,9%, respectivamente. Os responsáveis da maioria das 56 crianças que apresentaram excesso de peso também tinham excesso de peso (82,1%; n=46). A preocupação com o peso da criança foi maior entre os responsáveis das crianças acima do peso (3,6±1,29). Por outro lado, uma maior pressão para comer foi identificada entre os responsáveis com crianças com baixo peso ou peso normal (3,3±0,97 e 3,9±0,99, respectivamente). O escore médio do Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Revisado das crianças (50,0±13,6) foi muito similar ao dos responsáveis (56,5±12,1). Conclusions Os responsáveis exercem influência direta no estado nutricional e hábitos alimentares das crianças, devendo ser alvos nos processos de intervenção nutricional para a prevenção e o tratamento da obesidade infantil.

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether caregivers’ attitudes, beliefs, practices, alimentary habits, and nutritional status influence the alimentary habits and nutritional status of children aged six to nine years. Methods This cross-sectional study included 164 children and a family member (caregiver) each (n=164), carried out in the family health units of the municipality of Ribeirão Preto (SP), Brazil. Weight and height measurements were performed; each child was then evaluated by the application of both the Child Feeding Questionnaire and 24h recall (for calculating the Healthy Eating Index Revised), in addition to the assessment of adherence to healthy eating steps of the Ministry of Health, through a questionnaire. Results The results showed that the prevalence of being overweight was 18.3% in children and 32.9% in caregivers, and the prevalence of obesity was 15.9% and 37.9%, respectively. Most of the 56 children categorized as overweight also had overweight caregivers (82.1%; n=46). Concerns regarding children’s weight control were higher among caregivers responsible for overweight children (3.6±1.29). In contrast, caregivers responsible for children below or at normal weight demonstrated a greater tendency toward getting children to eat (3.3±0.97 and 3.9±0.99, respectively). The average score; of the children’s Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised (50.0±13.6) was similar to that of their caregivers (56.5±12.1). Conclusions Caregivers have a direct influence on the nutritional status and eating habits of children; therefore, they should be targeted in the processes of nutritional intervention for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Abstract Tucupi, which is widely enjoyed in the North region of Brazil, is a fermented liquid derived from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and has been taken abroad for its exotic characteristics. This study aimed to assess the rheological behavior of tucupi with 30, 35, and 40% solids and concentrated at 50, 70, and 90 °C. The rheological data were obtained at 25, 40, 60, and 80 °C with increasing and decreasing shear rates. Rheology at 25 °C indicated that the partial gelification of starch during concentration causes a decrease in the product’s viscosity and, if the concentration is carried out at a temperature that favors total starch gelification, the product’s viscosity increases. Concentrated tucupi behaved as a pseudoplastic fluid, but at 60 and 80 °C with increasing shear rates, the product behaved as a dilatant fluid. Hysteresis were observed in flow curves starting at 40 °C, which characterizes concentrated tucupi as a rheopectic fluid. The Ostwald-de Waele model predicted the product’s flow curves and an Arrhenius-like equation described the dependence of temperature on apparent viscosity for the rheological data obtained with increasing shear rates. The product’s activation energy (E a) values ranged from 16.86 to 25.23 kJ/mol as a function of concentration.

Abstract Introduction: adequate iodine intake during pregnancy is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which are important for the physiological functions of the mother and appropriate maturation of the central nervous system of the fetus. Objective: the objective of the present study was to determine the levels of urinary iodine excretion and thyroid function, antioxidants and oxidative stress markers in pregnant women. Methods: the study was conducted on 191 pregnant women and 62 non-pregnant women who were evaluated regarding nutritional status. Analyses of urinary iodine, of oxidative stress markers and thyroid function were performed, revealing iodine insufficiency in 81 pregnant women. Results: there was no change in the thyroid stimulating hormone concentration in 89% of the pregnant women. Antithyroperoxidase antibody values were higher in the control group compared to the pregnant women's group (64.5% and 12.6%, respectively) and antithyroglobulin antibody values were also higher in the control group (11.6%). Assessment of oxidative stress revealed higher levels of advanced oxidation protein products, of total antioxidant capacity and of superoxide dismutase antioxidants in pregnant women. Classification of ioduria with respect to oxidative stress markers revealed lower α-tocopherol levels for the pregnant women with iodine insufficiency. Conclusion: on this basis, the results suggest that iodine insufficiency did not induce changes in thyroid stimulating hormone levels or antibodies and those pregnant women with adequate urinary iodine excretion had a better profile of the α-tocopherol antioxidant, indicating that iodine may play a significant role in antioxidant capacity during gestation.

Resumen Introducción: la ingesta adecuada de yodo durante el embarazo es esencial para la síntesis de las hormonas tiroideas, que son importantes para las funciones fisiológicas de la madre y la maduración apropiada del sistema nervioso central del feto. Objetivo: el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar los niveles de excreción de yodo urinario y función tiroidea, antioxidantes y marcadores de estrés oxidativo en mujeres embarazadas. Métodos: el estudio se realizó en 191 mujeres embarazadas y 62 mujeres no embarazadas que fueron evaluadas con respecto al estado nutricional. Se realizaron análisis de yodo urinario, marcadores de estrés oxidativo y función tiroidea, que revelaron insuficiencia de yodo en 81 embarazadas. Resultados: no hubo cambios en la concentración de hormona estimulante tiroidea en el 89% de las mujeres embarazadas. Los valores de anticuerpos antitiroperoxidasa fueron mayores en el grupo control en comparación con el grupo de mujeres embarazadas (64,5% y 12,6%, respectivamente) y los de anticuerpos antitiroglobulina fueron también mayores en el grupo control (11,6%). La evaluación del estrés oxidativo reveló niveles más altos de productos avanzados de proteína de oxidación, de capacidad antioxidante total y de antioxidantes de superóxido dismutasa en mujeres embarazadas. La clasificación de la yoduria con respecto a marcadores de estrés oxidativo reveló menores niveles de α-tocopherol para las mujeres embarazadas con insuficiencia de yodo. Conclusión: sobre esta base, los resultados sugieren que la insuficiencia de yodo no indujo cambios en los niveles de hormona estimulante de la tiroides o anticuerpos y las mujeres embarazadas con excreción urinaria adecuada de yodo tuvieron un mejor perfil del antioxidante α-tocopherol, lo que indica que el yodo puede desempeñar un papel significativo en la capacidad antioxidante durante la gestación.

Abstract Tucupi is a fermented liquid obtained from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), very much appreciated by the traditional cuisine of Northern Brazil. However, there are no scientific reports on its use in the formulation of products. Thus, the present study aimed to elaborate a powdered condiment with tucupi, as well as to assess the product’s sensory acceptability and its hygroscopic behavior. The powdered tucupi used in the formulation of the condiment was obtained by drying in a spray dryer. The product underwent sensory evaluation for its acceptability regarding the attributes of color, aroma, flavor, and overall impression and a purchase intention test was applied by hedonic scale. The acceptability index was 80% for overall impression and the purchase intention test indicated that 94% of the judges would be willing to buy the product. The product’s moisture sorption isotherms presented type-II behavior for adsorption and type-III for desorption, at 25 °C. The hygroscopic behavior indicated that the product is more susceptible to spoilage changes when stored in an environment with relative humidity above 60% and the Peleg model showed an excellent performance on predicting the product’s moisture sorption isotherms.

Abstract Tucupi, a fermented product obtained from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is widely employed in the cuisine of the Northern region of Brazil, however, its industrial application is incipient. This study used tucupi to prepare a creamy paste, which underwent sensory and rheological evaluation. Paste formulations with 5 to 20% concentrated tucupi were obtained. An acceptance test was used to assess the product’s acceptability regarding the attributes of color, aroma, flavor, texture, and overall impression. A purchase intention test of the product was also applied. The product’s rheology was studied at 25, 40, and 60 °C and the activation energy (Ea) was estimated. The internal preference mapping indicated that the paste formulation with 5% and 10% tucupi were the most accepted by the judge, but only the 10% tucupi paste was characterized. Proportions greater than 15% tucupi influenced negatively in the flavor and texture of the product. Purchase intention test showed that 99% of the judges demonstrated interest in purchasing the product. The product presented 72.7% moisture, 10.4% lipids, 0.5% proteins, 2.1% ashes, 14.3% carbohydrates, and 7.4 μg/g β-carotene. According to the rheological assays, the paste presented characteristics of a pseudoplastic fluid. The Herschel-Bulkley model proved efficient to predict the flow curves for the product in the temperature range tested, for which Ea was estimated at 7.49 kJ/mol.

The interaction between three phenolic compounds (catechin, caffeic acid and ferulic acid) onto two dietary fibres (cellulose and xylan) has been evaluated to inquire possible interferences on the biodisponibility of phenolic compounds. The adsorption kinetics were performed using solutions containing 100 mg/L of phenolic compounds during a contact time ranging between 10 and 120 minutes at pH 2.0, 4.5, and 7.0. After the kinetics, isotherms were obtained using phenolic compounds concentration ranging between 10 and 80 mg/L during 60 minutes, at pH 2.0 and 7.0 and temperature of 36 °C. Results indicate that adsorbed quantities mainly changed in function of pH, however the maximum adsorption was only of 0.978 mg of caffeic acid/g of xylan at pH 2 and after 60 min. Redlich-Peterson model were able to predict the adsorption isotherms of all phenolic compounds onto cellulose, except for caffeic acid at pH 7.0. The low adsorption capacities observed suggest that both dietary fibres are unable to compromise the biodisponibility of phenolic compounds, especially in the small intestine, where they are partially absorbed.

Conclusion: the Brazilian version of the WEMWBS proved to be easy to use and understand, showed high internal consistency and construct validity similar to the original instrument.

OBJETIVO Analisar a literatura brasileira sobre imagem corporal e os avanços teóricos e metodológicos alcançados. MÉTODOS Foi realizada revisão crítica da literatura sobre imagem corporal no Brasil e selecionados apenas artigos, dissertações e teses publicados. A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados: SciELO, SCOPUS, LILACS, PubMed, Banco de Teses da CAPES e também por meio da ferramenta de busca Google Acadêmico. Não foi estipulado limite mínimo de data para as publicações e foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: “body image” AND “Brazil” AND “scale(s)”; “body image” AND “Brazil” AND “questionnaire(s)”; “body image” AND “Brazil” AND “instrument(s)”; “body image” limited to Brazil e “imagem corporal”. RESULTADOS A maioria das medidas disponíveis foi voltada à população de universitários, metade das quais foi sobre avaliação de satisfação/insatisfação com o corpo. Mulheres e adolescentes de ambos os sexos foram os grupos mais estudados. Houve aumento expressivo no número de medidas de avaliação disponíveis. No entanto, ainda há grande quantidade de estudos que utilizaram medidas não validadas e muita impropriedade no uso de termos adequados (e.g., percepção, insatisfação, distorção). CONCLUSÕES É preciso muito mais para a compreensão da imagem corporal na população brasileira, especialmente por meio da avaliação de populações em diferentes faixas etárias e da diversificação dos componentes/dimensão acessados. Entretanto, o interesse pelo tema é crescente e passos importantes têm sido dados rapidamente.

OBJECTIVE To analyze Brazilian literature on body image and the theoretical and methodological advances that have been made. METHODS A detailed review was undertaken of the Brazilian literature on body image, selecting published articles, dissertations and theses from the SciELO, SCOPUS, LILACS and PubMed databases and the CAPES thesis database. Google Scholar was also used. There was no start date for the search, which used the following search terms: “body image” AND “Brazil” AND “scale(s)”; “body image” AND “Brazil” AND “questionnaire(s)”; “body image” AND “Brazil” AND “instrument(s)”; “body image” limited to Brazil and “body image”. RESULTS The majority of measures available were intended to be used in college students, with half of them evaluating satisfaction/dissatisfaction with the body. Females and adolescents of both sexes were the most studied population. There has been a significant increase in the number of available instruments. Nevertheless, numerous published studies have used non-validated instruments, with much confusion in the use of the appropriate terms (e.g., perception, dissatisfaction, distortion). CONCLUSIONS Much more is needed to understand body image within the Brazilian population, especially in terms of evaluating different age groups and diversifying the components/dimensions assessed. However, interest in this theme is increasing, and important steps have been taken in a short space of time.

Objetivou-se avaliar a validade de construto e a fidedignidade das escalas de silhuetas de Kakeshita (2008) em adolescentes brasileiros. Após a condução do teste-reteste em 112 participantes com intervalo de um mês, os resultados demonstraram que as escalas foram capazes de discriminar os diferentes grupos de estado nutricional em ambos os sexos; apresentaram coeficientes de correlação entre IMC real, IMC atual e insatisfação e coeficientes de correlação intraclasse elevados, comprovando que o instrumento é apropriado para avaliar a imagem corporal nessa faixa etária.

This study aimed to obtain evidence of the construct validity and the reliability of the Figure Rating Scales developed by Kakeshita (2008) applied to Brazilian adolescents. After conducting the test-retest in 112 participants with an interval of one month, the results showed that the scales were able to discriminate the different groups of nutritional status in both sexes; showed significant correlation between current BMI, desired BMI and dissatisfaction; and coefficients of elevated intraclass correlation, indicating that the instrument is suitable for assessing body image in this age group.
