Associating Dietary Sustainability with Health: A Focus on General and Central Adiposity
This study aims to explore the relationship between the Diet Sustainability Score (DSS) and health outcomes, specifically body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Using data from 2287 Portuguese adults in the National Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF 2015-2016), DSS was calculated based on four dimensions: health-related nutritional attributes, environmental impact, economic affordability, and sociocultural acc…
Development and Validation of an Open-Access Paediatric Dietary Inflammatory Potential
Dietary intake according to different patterns of food preparation in children and adults: Results from the Portuguese National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF 2015/2016)
Objective: To investigate associations between dietary intake and patterns of food preparation by age group. Design: This cross-sectional study analysed dietary intake data from the most recent Portuguese National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. Cluster analysis categorised dietary intake based on the source of food preparation. Regression models were used to study the association between dietary daily intake, Healthy Eating Score (…

Energy intake misreport: How different methods affect its prevalence and nutrient intake estimates
Multivariate methods lead to a higher prevalence of misreports and larger differences in nutrient estimates. The application of the pTEE 1SD and Goldberg 2SD methods resulted in more accurate nutrient estimates
Transições e expansões da arte no meio digital: Novas reinterpretações além do tempo do artista
As mediações tecnológicas realizadas na mostra “O encantado” desenhos, pinturas e objetos de Attilio Colnago (2014) na cidade de Vitória (ES-Brasil), possibilitaram a abordagem do processo criativo do artista evidenciando o papel comunicativo da arte no meio digital. Considerando-se as possibilidades dos novos recursos tecnológicos oferecidos na sociedade atual, as construções interativas dentro dos espaços de exposição constituem atualmente o me…
Consumption of packaged foods by the Portuguese population: Type of materials and its associated factors
Purpose This study aims to evaluate in the Portuguese population the consumption of packaged food (PF) vs non-packaged food, the associated factors and to estimate the contribution of specific food groups to the use of packaging materials. Design/methodology/approach A representative sample of the population was evaluated within the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey 2015–2016 ( n = 5,811, 3 months-84y). Dietary data were colle…
Characterizing energy intake misreporting and its effects on intake estimations, in the Portuguese adult population
Objective: The aim of the current study was to evaluate energy intake misreporting prevalence, its associated factors and its effects on nutrient intake, in the Portuguese population aged from 18 to 84 years. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Portugal. Subjects: Adults participants from the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey, IAN-AF, 2015–2016, who provided two complete 24 h dietary recall and complete covariate informati…
Total, added and free sugar intakes, dietary sources and determinants of consumption in Portugal: The National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF 2015–2016)
Objective: To assess total sugar (TS), added sugar (AS) and free sugar (FS) intakes, dietary sources, adherence to recommendations and determinants of consumption, in a Portuguese national sample. Design: Cross-sectional study. Dietary assessment was obtained by two food diaries in children aged Setting: National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF 2015–2016), Portugal. Participants: Representative sample from the Portuguese popu…
Validation of a new software eAT24 used to assess dietary intake in the adult Portuguese population
Objective: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the accuracy of the new software eAT24 used to assess dietary intake in the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF) against urinary biomarkers: N (nitrogen), K (potassium) and Na (sodium). Design: We conducted a cross-sectional study. Two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls (24-HDR) were applied, and a 24-h urine sample was collected. We examined differences between e…
Eating frequency and weight status in Portuguese children aged 3–9 years: Results from the cross-sectional National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey 2015–2016
Objective: To evaluate daily eating frequency (main meals and snacks) in relation to weight status in children aged 3–9 years, representative of the Portuguese population. Design: Cross-sectional study. Dietary intake was estimated as the mean of two non-consecutive days of food diaries, followed by face-to-face interviews. Weight and height were measured by trained observers. Eating occasions (EO) were defined by the children’s caregiver; an EO …
Prevalence of general and abdominal obesity in Portugal: Comprehensive results from the National Food, nutrition and physical activity survey 2015–2016
Almost 60% of the general Portuguese population is obese or pre-obese. Women, elderly and less educated individuals present the highest obesity prevalence. Abdominal obesity, in particular, seems to be a relevant public health problem among the elderly men
Validation of a picture book to be used in a pan-European dietary survey
Objective To validate a picture book for estimation of food portion sizes using two approaches: (i) ‘perception’ of food portions by comparison with a series of food photos; and (ii) ‘conceptualization and memory’, using the same photos to estimate the amount of served food one hour after self-served food portions. Design Each partner developed a country-specific picture book based on the so-called EPIC-Soft picture book. Representative and commo…

We propose the Category-Focus IAT (CF-IAT) as an instrument to measure the implicit associations of single concepts. The CF-IAT directs respondents’ attention to a subset of the experimental materials. In a first study using the CF-IAT, Chilean adolescents (N = 49), members of either the indigenous minority (Mapuche) or the nonindigenous majority, completed CF-IATs assessing implicit attitudes toward these groups. Results revealed, in both groups…
Interparty Attitudes in Chile: Coalitions as Superordinate Social Identities
This paper reports a survey (N = 1,465) conducted in Chile that was conceived to understand the role of coalition identification as an important sociopsychological mechanism for promoting positive affects toward own‐coalition party members in a multiparty system, above and beyond interparty political differences. Participants judged their own political party, parties within coalitions (fellow coalition members and opposing parties), and political…
