And Control

This study aimed to investigate factors associated with weight management, especially whether satiety value of food as a part of a weight-maintenance diet would affect self-regulation of food intake and weight management. Altogether 82 obese subjects completed the study consisting of weight-loss and weight-maintenance (WM) periods. During the WM, subjects were randomized into higher- and lower-satiety food groups. No differences were observed in the changes in body weight, energy intake, or eating behaviour between the groups, even despite the different macronutrient compositions of the diets. However, when regarding all study subjects, success in WM was most strongly associated with a greater increase in the flexible control of eating and experience of greater easiness of WM and control of food intake and a greater decrease in uncontrollable eating and psychological distress. Psychobehavioural factors seem to be more strongly associated with successful weight management than the predetermined satiety effect or other characteristics of the diet.

SUMMARY1. Eight British Friesian male calves were fitted with rumen cannulae at 4 weeks of age, and were given either chopped or pelleted dried grass to appetite. After weaning at 6 weeks the animals were allowed to eat to appetite, or the appropriate food material was added via the cannula, or digesta removed, at the rate of 20 % (dry-matter basis) of voluntary food intake, in alternating periods of 7 days.2. The addition of food material resulted in a depression in drymatter intake (DMI) which was greater than the increase in DMI following the removal of digesta, and the difference approached significance in the small number of comparisons possible.3. The response in voluntary food intake increased significantly with age, and reached or exceeded ‘adult’ levels within 6 weeks from weaning. It is postulated that oropharyngeal factors associated with the development of eating behaviour control the initial development of solid food intake; the influences of physical or metabolic limitations upon food intake increase with time.

As parasitoses intestinais são sérios problemas de saúde pública, principalmente, em países em desenvolvimento. O objetivo do artigo foi verificar se a presença de enteroparasitoses influencia negativamente no estado nutricional das crianças da escola municipal N. Sra. Aparecida, na cidade de Picos-PI. Para isso, investigou-se a frequência de consumo alimentar, dados socioeconômicos, medidas antropométricas e material fecal de 28 crianças, com idade entre 3 e 6 anos. Os grupos de alimentos mais consumidos pelos envolvidos são: óleos, leite, carnes, leguminosas, cereais, bebidas e gorduras e de menor frequência: raízes e tubérculos, frutas, ovos, vegetais, açúcar e doces. Avaliando o estado nutricional se verificou que pelos parâmetros utilizados, Índice de Massa Corporal por idade (IMC/I), peso por idade (P/I) e altura por idade (A/I), a maioria se encontra normal.  Os resultados do teste de fezes para parasitas intestinais mostraram que 92,85% das crianças apresentaram pelo menos um enteroparasita e apenas 7,15% não tinham contaminação, prevalecendo na maioria dos casos Ascaris lumbricoides. Portanto, estudos como este contribuem para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de prevenção e controle de doenças parasitárias que afetam o desenvolvimento infantil. Palavras-chave: Avaliação Nutricional.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the habits and frequency of food intake, nutritional status and the occurrence of enteroparasites in preschool children from 3 to 6 years old from a public school in Picos, Piaui.  Thus, the frequency of food intake, socioeconomic data, anthropometric measurements and fecal material of 28 children, aged 3 to 6 years were investigated. The most consumed food groups  by those involved are: oils, milk, meat, pulses, cereals, beverages and fats and least consumed ones: roots and tubers, fruits, eggs, vegetables, sugar and sweets. Evaluating children's nutritional status through anthropometric indices, Body Mass Index for age (BMI/I), weight by age (P/I) and height by age (A/I), it was found that they were within the range of normality. Stool test results for intestinal parasites showed that 92.85% of children were positive for at least one enteroparasite and only 7.15% had no contamination, with the highest prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides. Therefore, studies such as this contribute to the development of public policies for prevention and control of parasitic diseases that affect child’s development. Keywords: Nutritional Assessment.

This article explores how a single-sex school for boys of color intentionally and unintentionally (re)defines masculinity through rules and rituals. The school’s mission posits that boys become men through developing three skills: selfregulation, self-awareness, and self-reflection. Drawing from qualitative research data, I examine how disciplinary practices prioritize boys’ ability to control their bodies and image, or “self-regulate.” When boys fail to self-regulate, they enter the punitive system. School staff describe self-regulation as integral to out-of-school success, but these practices may inadvertently reproduce negative labeling and control of black bodies. This article argues for school cultural practices that affirm, rather than deny, the benefits of boyhood.

Mealtime Environment

Parental feeding practices and mealtime routine significantly influence a child’s eating behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the mealtime environment in healthy children and children with gastrointestinal diseases. We conducted a cross-sectional case–control study among 787 healthy, typically developing children and 141 children with gastrointestinal diseases, aged two to seven years. Parents were asked to provide data on demographics and describe their mealtime environment by answering to 24 closed-ended questions. It was found that the majority of the children had the same number of meals every day and at the same hour. Parents of both groups exerted considerable control on the child’s food intake by deciding both when and what their child eats. Almost one third of the parents also decided how much their child eats. The two groups differed significantly in nine of the 24 questions. The study showed that both groups provided structured and consistent mealtime environments. However, a significant proportion of children did not control how much they eat which might impede their ability to self-regulate eating. The presence of a gastrointestinal disease was found to be associated with reduced child autonomy, hampered hunger cues and frequent use of distractions during meals.

(1) Background: Obesity management has become an important issue due to the COVID-19 outbreak; therefore, periodic surveys on the approaches to obesity management of the entire population and target obese population are required. (2) Methods: The study used nationally representative data from the 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants reported all approaches they had used to reduce or maintain weight in the past year. Data were analyzed with multiple response methods. (3) Results: The most commonly reported approach was exercise, which included fitness, yoga, biking, and other physical activities (74.7% of respondents), and the second most commonly reported approach was decreased food intake (69.6% of respondents). The use of approaches differed according to respondents’ demographic characteristics. Regarding sex-related differences, in particular, men preferred to exercise, while women were more likely to decrease food intake. Among men, exercise was highest in the 40–49 years age group (48.3%). Among women, decreased food intake was highest in the same age group (16.1%). (4) Conclusions: These findings indicate that it is necessary to introduce individualized weight management approaches and measures according to target groups in obese adults.

An online survey was conducted to identify factors associated with financial insecurity, food insecurity and poor quality of daily lives of adults in Nigeria during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The associations between the outcome (experience of financial loss, changes in food intake and impact of the pandemic on daily lives) and the explanatory (age, sex, education level, anxiety, depression, HIV status) variables were determined using logistic regression analysis. Of the 4439 respondents, 2487 (56.0%) were financially insecure, 907 (20.4%) decreased food intake and 4029 (90.8%) had their daily life negatively impacted. Males (AOR:0.84), people who felt depressed (AOR:0.62) and people living with HIV -PLHIV- (AOR:0.70) had significantly lower odds of financial insecurity. Older respondents (AOR:1.01) had significantly higher odds of financial insecurity. Those depressed (AOR:0.62) and PLHIV (AOR:0.55) had significantly lower odds of reporting decreased food intake. Respondents who felt anxious (AOR:0.07), depressed (AOR: 0.48) and who were PLHIV (AOR:0.68) had significantly lower odds of reporting a negative impact of the pandemic on their daily lives. We concluded the study findings may reflect a complex relationship between financial insecurity, food insecurity, poor quality of life, mental health, and socioeconomic status of adults living in Nigeria during the COVID-19 pandemic.

AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the food intake of Slovenian adolescents and to compare it with food-based dietary guidelines developed for children and adolescents, named the Optimized Mixed Diet (OMD). The OMD is a useful tool for the evaluation of food intake of adolescents.DesignAll adolescents completed an FFQ at a regional health centre; a subgroup also completed a 3 d weighed dietary protocol at home.SettingThis study is a part of the first national representative study on the dietary habits of Slovenian adolescents.SubjectsThis cross-sectional study included a representative sample of 2813 Slovenian adolescents entering high school, aged 14–17 years, from all ten geographical regions of Slovenia.ResultsThe greatest deviations from the recommended intakes of the main food groups in the OMD were significantly lower intakes of (P < 0·001, mean): vegetables (179 and 163 g/d in boys and girls, respectively), bread/cereals (271 and 226 g/d), potatoes/rice/pasta (212 and 163 g/d); in boys also a significantly lower intake of fruits (mean: 321 g/d, P < 0·001) and a significantly higher intake of meat/meat products (mean: 126 g/d, P < 0·001). Additionally, the results show too high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and too low intakes of fish and plant oils in both genders.ConclusionsThe food intake pattern of Slovenian adolescents deviates markedly from a healthy eating pattern. Nutrition education and interventions are needed for Slovenian adolescents.
