Impact of front-of-package nutrition labels on acceptability and objective understanding: A randomized experiment in Latin American adults
Ultra‐processed food and homemade fried food consumption is associated with overweight/obesity in Latin American university students during Covid ‐19
Objective We estimated the association between the consumption of select ultra‐processed food (UPF), homemade fried food and overweight/obesity in Latin American university undergraduate students during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods We conducted an analytical cross‐sectional study. 4539 university students (73.6% female, mean age 22.5 ± 4.4) from 10 Latin American countries completed a self‐administered online survey. UPF eating habits and homem…
Prevalence of Anemia and Iron Deficiency in Women of Reproductive Age in Cuba and Associated Factors
This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency in women of reproductive age and the association with inflammation, global overweight, adiposity, and menorrhagia. A sample design of women of reproductive age from the Eastern, Central, and Havana Regions was carried out. Biochemical determinations of hemoglobin, serum ferritin, soluble transferrin receptors, leukocytes, C-reactive protein, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, and ho…
Anxiety, Anhedonia, and related food consumption at the beginning of the Covid-19 quarantine in populations of Spanish-speaking Ibero-American countries: An online cross-sectional survey study
In Ibero-American, the anxiety and anhedonia are related to the consumption of food. • The anxiety is related to the consumption of palatable foods during confinement. • The different type of foods had a different probability of increasing serving size. • An increase in average body weight was observed during confinement for COVID-19
Severe food insecurity is associated with overweight and increased body fat among people living with HIV in the Dominican Republic
Food insecurity is an important risk factor for overweight and obesity among low-income populations in high income countries, but has not been well-studied among people living with HIV (PLHIV), particularly in resource-poor settings. To explore the association between food insecurity and overweight and obesity among PLHIV in the Dominican Republic, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 160 HIV-infected adults between March-December 2012 in four…
Risk factors during the prenatal period and the first year of life associated with overweight in 7‐year‐old low‐income C hilean children
The objective of this study was to identify in low-income Chilean children with normal birthweight which factors occurring during the prenatal period and the first year are associated with overweight (OW)/obesity at 7 years. The sample included 652 7-year-olds from a larger cohort study. We collected anthropometric data at 0, 12 and 84 months, maternal pre-pregnancy and pregnancy characteristics, early feeding practices, number of siblings, birth…
