TL;DR: High prevalence of overweight in the general population, as well as in specific groups like bank clerks, highlights the urgent need for definition and development of prevention and control policies capable of impacting risk factors and ultimately leading to a decrease in social cost due to mortality from chronic diseases.
Abstract: This study first describes the anthropometric profile of employees at Banco do Brasil and then compares these results to those of the Brazilian National Health and Nutritional Survey, PNSN/1989, for the Southeastern region of the country. It is a cross-sectional study with a sample comprising 647 bank clerks. Weight and height informed by respondents were used to compute the body mass index (BMI). Among bank clerks, 8.8% were underweight, 27.8% were overweight and 6.4% were obese. Overweight increased with age and was about 3 times greater in men than in women. Among social and demographic variables, sex, age, and schooling best explained BMI variance. For men, proportion of overweight was higher in bank clerks than in the PNSN population, while for women, PNSN showed higher frequencies of overweight as compared to female bank clerks. High prevalence of overweight in the general population, as well as in specific groups like bank clerks, highlights the urgent need for definition and development of prevention and control policies capable of impacting risk factors and ultimately leading to a decrease in social cost due to mortality from chronic diseases.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the most of the reserchead population presents a low level risk for developing chronic-degenerative diseases, and women demonstrated a better nutritional situation than men did, because men obtained a larger obesity degree.
Abstract: Obesity is a multifactorial syndrome, which leads to fat excess in the body, more than what is necessary due to non-healthy feeding habits, like a fat rich diet, it carries to a fat excess in the organism besides the necessities. This research aimed to evaluate and to compare the individual’s nutritional state who takes apart on the “Health and Nutrition” project in Guarapuava – PR.Dta were collected through the body mass index (BMI) calculation and the waist-hip relation (WHR), as a way to identify the risk of chronic-degenerative diseases between the masculine and feminine sexes. The results analyses showed, by the BMI quantitative method, that women demonstrated a better nutritional situation than men did, because men obtained a larger obesity degree. Thinness was not found in the masculine sex individuals trough the BMI method,on the contraty, this nutriotional characteristic was found in women. Regarding the WHR qualitative method, it demonstrated that the most of the reserchead population presents a low level risk for developing chronic-degenerative diseases. In the

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the role of nurse in control and prevention of these illnesses in the workplace and conclude that occupational health nurses work should act proactively with a multidisciplinary team aimed at individual and collective monitoring of actions designed to control and prevent overweight and obesity.
Abstract: Overweight and obesity are pandemics and have been widely discussed in Public Health and Health at Work. Comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, orthopedic disorders and coronary diseases can induce to absenteeism, reduced work performance, disability and death. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of the nurse in control and prevention of these illnesses in the workplace. We concluded that occupational health nurses work should act proactively with a multidisciplinary team aimed at individual and collective monitoring of actions designed to control and prevent overweight and obesity. Furthermore, this professional should follow up the health of individual workers with a high body mass index in order to warn and prevent comorbidities related to these conditions.

TL;DR: Most women were at the upper limit of normality for BMI, with the indices of fat reserves being highest in the women of the urban area, while in the rural area women low weight and obesity were found in 4%, and overweight in 16%.
Abstract: From a total of 203 adult women interviewed, 175 subjects aged 16 to 73 years were evaluated for the anthropometrics variables: weight, height, triceps skinfold thickness, mid-upper arm circumference, arm muscle circumference and body mass index (BMI). Of these women, 84,0% (147) were living in the urban area and 16,0% (28) in the rural area. Observing the mean values for non-lactating women in the urban area were: weight 54,1 kg, height 149,0 cm, BMI 24,4 kg/m2, triceps skinfold thickness 19,2 mm, arm circumference 27,5 cm, arm muscle circumference 21,5 cm. For women in the rural area the values were: weight 50,4 kg, height 148,6 cm, BMI 23,0 kg/cm2, triceps skinfold thickness 13,8 mm, arm circumference 26,4 cm, arm muscle circumference 22,1 cm. There was a significant difference in the average triceps skinfold thickness values between women in the rural area and women in the urban area (p<0,05). In the urban area women a 6,5% prevalence of low weight was found, a 28,2% prevalence of overweight and a 11,3% prevalence of obesity. In the rural area women low weight and obesity were found in 4%, and overweight in 16%. In this study, most women were at the upper limit of normality for BMI, with the indices of fat reserves being highest in the women of the urban area.

TL;DR: The prescribed diet needs to be well planned according to the individuality of each patient, performed and evaluated throughout the process; it requires continuity, effort and permanence in the treatment.
Abstract: Introduction: Obesity can be conceptualized in a simplified way, as a condition of abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat in the body. Objective: To characterize the nutritional profile of the clients with obesity treated at the Integrated Clinic of Health Care at UNA University Center, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Methods: This is a longitudinal observational study performed with men and women with obesity in the second half of 2017. Sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric and nutritional data were collected from 216 clients. The greatest demand for the service was of women, in the age group of 20 to 59 years, in the masculine sex there was the greater amount of stylist. Regarding the level of schooling and physical activity the predominance was female, but the number of smokers was equal in both sexes. Results and Discussion: The reported diseases were 16.47% with arterial hypertension in the female sex. However, a 24.07% share of total treatment withdrawal occurred. The female sex obtained the highest number of consultations performed on average (2.62), but there was a satisfactory weight loss, established according to the number of consultations performed. The greatest weight loss was in the male sex, equivalent to (12kg). Conclusion: The prescribed diet needs to be well planned according to the individuality of each patient, performed and evaluated throughout the process; it requires continuity, effort and permanence in the treatment.

TL;DR: In general, it is found that problems of under- and overnutrition often coexist, reflecting the trend in which an increasing proportion of people consume the types of diets associated with a number of chronic diseases.
Abstract: Scientists have long recognized the importance of the demographics and epidemiologic transitions in higher income countries. Only recently has it become understood that similar sets of broadly based changes are occurring in lower income countries. What has not been recognized is that concurrent changes in nutrition are also occurring, with equally important implications for resource allocation in many low-income countries. Several major changes seem to be emerging, leading to a marked shift in the structure of diet and the distribution of body composition in many regions of the world: a rapid reduction in fertility and aging of the population, rapid urbanization, the epidemiologic transition, and economic changes affecting populations in different and uneven ways. These changes vary significantly over time. In general, we find that problems of under- and overnutrition often coexist, reflecting the trend in which an increasing proportion of people consume the types of diets associated with a number of chronic diseases. This is occurring more rapidly than previously seen in higher income countries, or even in Japan and Korea. Examples from Thailand, China, and Brazil provide evidence of the changes and trends in dietary intake, physical activity, and body composition patterns.

TL;DR: Screening data from the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program in Minneapolis, MN, 1973-1974 provided an opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of self-report of height and weight, and it was found that both were reported, on the average, with small but systematic errors.
Abstract: Screening data from the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program in Minneapolis, MN, 1973-1974, provided an opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of self-report of height and weight. It was found that both were reported, on the average, with small but systematic errors. Large errors were found in certain population subgroups. Also, men and women differed somewhat in their pattern of misreporting. Weight was understated by 1.6% by men and 3.1% by women, whereas height was overstated by 1.3% by men and 0.6% by women. As in previous studies, it was found that the most important correlates of the amount of error were the actual measurements of height and weight. An interesting finding was that misreporting of both height and weight in men was correlated with both aspects of body size, whereas for women, it was related mainly to the characteristic in question. Certain other demographic variables, such as age and educational level, were also found to have some importance as factors influencing misreporting.
