  • Time worked in shifts and occurrence of drowsiness events while driving

    Open Access•Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior, Fernando Luiz Pereira De Oliveira et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    A longer history of shift work time increases the chance of drowsiness events during driving, but higher physical activity levels mitigate them

  • The role of sunlight in sleep regulation

    Open Access•Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior, Luiz Antônio Alves de Menezes-Júnior et…•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    Morning sunlight exposure influences the regulation of the sleep midpoint and overall sleep quality. These findings highlight the potential role of morning sun exposure in aligning circadian rhythms and improving sleep health

  • Replacing sedentary behavior with physical activity reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression

    Open Access•Bruna Carolina Rafael Barbosa, Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    Replacing SB with equivalent quantities of MPA or VPA reduces the odds of symptoms of anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is essential to develop public policies that encourage increased PA levels and reduced SB in university environments to promote mental health and improve the physical health of students with mental disorder symptoms

  • Combinations of physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep and their associations with cardiovascular risk

    Open Access•Samara Silva de Moura, Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    The combination of high MVPA, low SB and good sleep quality, was associated with a less CVR. These findings highlight the importance of integrated interventions addressing multiple movement behaviors to prevent and treat CVR

  • Did the Covid-19 pandemic influence the use of psychotropic medications by university students and LGBTQIAPN+? A Brazilian multicenter study

    Open Access•Wander De Paula, Adriana Lúcia Meireles et al.•ARTICLE•Cadernos de Saude Publica•2025•References: 55

    The COVID-19 pandemic may have had an impact on the mental health of university students and, consequently, led to the initiation on psychotropic medications or an increase on its use. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of the use of psychotropic medications among university students and evaluate the association of the use of such medicine with students who belong to minority groups. This is a cross-sectional study, in which all students e…

  • Consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados está associado à obesidade abdominal em trabalhadores de turnos alternantes do sexo masculino

    Open Access•Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior, Virgínia Capistrano Fajardo et al.•ARTICLE•DEMETRA Alimentação Nutrição &…•2024

    Introdução: A maior ingestão de alimentos ultraprocessados (AUP) pode estar associada a um maior risco de obesidade. Objetivo: Nosso objetivo foi avaliar o consumo de AUP e sua associação com a ingestão de nutrientes e o excesso de adiposidade corporal em trabalhadores de turnos. Métodos: Um estudo transversal foi realizado em 2015 com 238 trabalhadores de turnos alternantes do sexo masculino. Os dados dietéticos foram obtidos por meio do recorda…

  • Sedentary behavior is associated with the mental health of university students during the Covid-19 pandemic, and not practicing physical activity accentuates its adverse effects

    Open Access•Bruna Carolina Rafael Barbosa, Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2024

    The results suggest that SB is a risk factor associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression and that not engaging in MVPA exacerbates the negative effects of SB

  • Isotemporal substitution analysis of time between sedentary behavior, and physical activity on sleep quality in younger adults

    Open Access•Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior, Luiz Antônio Alves de Menezes-Júnior et…•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2024

    The results of the present study indicate that replacing SB with the same amount of MPA or VPA may reduce poor sleep quality

  • Development and validity evidence on the scale of perceived social support for university students (EPSSEU) during the period of social restrictions

    Open Access•Thaís Calcagno Vidon Bruno, Isis Danyelle Dias Custódio et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2024

    The EPSSEU shows adequate psychometric qualities and may be a useful instrument for assessing university students' social support in pandemics, social distancing, and remote teaching contexts

  • Covid-Inconfidentes - Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence in two Brazilian urban areas in the fourth quarter 2020

    Open Access•Adriana Lúcia Meireles, Luciano Garcia Lourenção et al.•ARTICLE•Población y Salud en Mesoamérica•2023

    Objective: To describe study protocol and initial results of research project COVID-Inconfidentes. Method: This paper described the methodological procedures adopted and the prevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in the population. A household survey was conducted between October and December 2020, in two historic cities of Brazil's mining region. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody was detected using the Wondfo® rapid test. The face-to-face interview consi…

  • Sedentary behavior is associated with poor sleep quality during the Covid-19 pandemic, and physical activity mitigates its adverse effects

    Open Access•Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior, Samara Silva de Moura et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2023

    SB during the pandemic was a factor associated with poor sleep quality, and the practice of MVPA can reduce the effects of SB

  • The combined consumption of fresh/minimally processed food and ultra-processed food on food insecurity

    Open Access•Hillary Nascimento Coletro, Luiz Antônio Alves De Menezes Júnior et al.•ARTICLE•Public Health Nutrition•2023

    Objective: To investigate whether the combined consumption of fresh/minimally processed and ultra-processed food is associated with food insecurity (FI) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Cross-sectional observational study was derived from a survey using a population-based search of a complex sample. FI was assessed using the validated Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. Food consumption was assessed using a qualitative FFQ and the NOVA classifi…

  • Covid-Inconfidentes

    Open Access•Samara Silva de Moura, Samara Silva Moura et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2022

    The results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively influenced PA, substantially increasing the prevalence of PI. The determinants associated with PI were education, body mass index, and work from home

  • Concordância entre cintura hipertrigliceridêmica e cintura estatura hipertrigliceridêmica em trabalhadores em turnos alternantes

    Open Access•Stephanie Rosa Carvalho, Virgínia Capistrano Fajardo et al.•ARTICLE•DEMETRA Alimentação Nutrição &…•2020

    Objetivos: Avaliar a concordância entre fenótipo de cintura hipertrigliceridêmica e fenótipo cintura estatura hipertrigliceridêmica, e a associação desses fenótipos com alterações antropométricas, bioquímicas e clínicas em homens adultos com risco metabólico aumentado pela exposição ao turno alternante. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 678 trabalhadores do sexo masculino. O fenótipo de cintura hipertrigliceridêmica foi definido pelo perí…
