ABSTRACT This work describes and comments on articles in the area of Public Health Nutrition published in Revista de Saúde Pública (RSP – Public Health Journal) from 1967 to 2016. We searched in the PubMed database restricted to the periodical “Revista de Saúde Pública” and using terms related to key topics in the area of Public Health Nutrition. We retrieved 742 articles and, after exclusion of duplicates and articles unrelated to the subject, we analyzed 441 articles, grouped according to subject: dental caries, anemia, hypovitaminosis A, macro/micronutrients, malnutrition, nutritional assessment, overweight/obesity, food consumption, low birthweight, and breastfeeding. We observed significant increase in the number of articles published and diversification of subjects addressed over the 50 years, representing the consistent development of the scientific field of Nutrition in Brazil. Since its inception, RSP has played an important role in the dissemination of knowledge about the main nutritional issues in Brazil.

Hard Problems

This chapter examines the possible role of the microbiome in public health. Every person is a living ecosystem with trillions of microorganisms living on and in their bodies—their microbiome. Microbiome research is a relatively new scientific field where everything seems to influence it; the microbiome’s composition is altered by sleep, stress, and exercise. Microbiome scientists believe it would indeed be meaningful if, someday, by controlling one’s behaviors, one might know how to control one's personal microbial community and thus one’s health. Yet a “personalized” microbiome remains a distant and unlikely dream. Microbiome scientists agree that the environment, from the personal to the atmospheric, matters. And that people’s social networks, with whom and how they interact, matter too. As such, it is important to prioritize attention to the known drivers of longevity and quality of life for today’s population—such as poverty, insurance gaps, homelessness, and the broad distribution of preventive services. These are hard problems that people can change, and which would benefit from strategic health planning.
