TL;DR: Preventive targeted interventions to decrease the prevalence of established risk factors for non-fatal AMI, considering age stratification, within a population-based case–control study of Portuguese men would likely reduce morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular events and related conditions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that oxidant status and NO are increased in relation to fat accumulation and, even in young children, they translate into higher values of cardiometabolic risk markers and affect renal function.

TL;DR: Young prepubertal children with overweight/obesity already present significantly lower GFR estimations that likely represent some degree of renal impairment associated with the complex deleterious effects of adiposity.

TL;DR: Assessment of attitudes and perceptions concerning AMR and use of antibiotics among surgeons who regularly perform emergency or trauma surgery found availability of periodic reports on local AMR data was considered an important tool to guide surgeons in choosing the correct antibiotic and to increase awareness of the problem of AMR.

TL;DR: The prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of limited health literacy in Portugal using an existing health literacy instrument, the Newest Vital Sign, are estimated at roughly three out of four people.
