Development of a 24-Hour Movement Behavior Questionnaire
In this study, we aimed to develop and test the psychometric properties of an online 24-hr movement behavior questionnaire (24 hr-MBQ). We recruited a sample of 195 undergraduate students. We developed a questionnaire based on 19 items extracted from previously validated questionnaires. We conducted reliability and construct validity assessment by classical test theory and structural validity assessment using unsupervised machine learning. In the…
Validity of Perceived Stress Scale in Brazilian low-income college students
OBJECTIVE: We tested the reliability and validity of the Perceived Stress Scale, an online questionnaire, among college students from low-income Brazilian regions. METHODS: We assessed 195 college students from a region with a Gini index of 0.56 for the validity study and a subsample of 117 students for the reliability study, where we evaluated the Perceived Stress Scale with the 14 original items. We also applied the shortened version of the Bri…
Prevalence of the Double Burden of Malnutrition among Adolescents
The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a condition in which malnutrition coexists with overweight, reflecting a new layer of malnutrition. Our objectives were to assess prevalence; test associations between DBM and 24-hour movement behaviors; and investigate whether DBM is associated with clusters of social determinants. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study included 1152 adolescents (12 to 17 years old) from four Brazilian cities. …
Reliability and Validity Estimate of the Pro-Inflammatory/Anti-Inflammatory Food Intake Score in South American Pediatric Population
The PAIFIS showed acceptable reliability, weak convergent validity, and weak criterion validity in children and adolescents
Longitudinal Associations of Physical Activity Patterns and the Environment
Introduction: Cross-sectional association between the neighborhood-built environment and physical activity (PA) has been demonstrated previously, indicating the importance of neighborhood perception characteristics such as walkability, safety, and the connectivity of streets on PA levels. Our study aimed to assess the longitudinal data from participants of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) to evaluate the potential relationship bet…
Reliability and validity of an FFQ for South American children and adolescents from the Saycare study
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse the reliability and validity of a semi-quantitative FFQ to assess food group consumption in South American children and adolescents. Design: The SAYCARE (South American Youth/Child cARdiovascular and Environmental) study is an observational, multicentre, feasibility study performed in a sample of 3- to 18-year-old children and adolescents attending private and public schools from six South Ameri…
Reliability and validity of body weight and body image perception in children and adolescents from the South American Youth/Child Cardiovascular and Environmental (Saycare) Study
Objective To assess the reliability and validity of body weight (BW) and body image (BI) perception reported by parents (in children) and by adolescents in a South American population. Design Cross-sectional study. BW perception was evaluated by the question, ‘Do you think you/your child are/is: severely wasted, wasted, normal weight, overweight, obese?’ BI perception was evaluated using the Gardner scale. To evaluate reliability, BW and BI perce…
Lifestyle factors and socioeconomic variables associated with abdominal obesity in Brazilian adolescents
It is concluded that the prevalence of AO among adolescents was higher in both sexes. AO is associated with different eating habits in females and males and these relationships are mediated by familial contexts
Understanding the correlates of adolescents’ dietary intake patterns. A multivariate analysis
Socioeconomic status as determinant of risk factors for overweight in adolescents
OBJECTIVES: To analyze risk factors for overweight among adolescents grouped in three different socioeconomic levels. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 1779 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years, grouped according to socioeconomic status (low, middle, and high). Parents reported their own anthropometric data and the adolescents had their anthropometric data taken by trained researchers, and completed three questionnaires. RESULTS: The preval…
P2-58 Unhealthy lifestyle patterns associated with waist circumference among adolescents
Objective To analyse patterns of lifestyle is associated with abdominal obesity in Brazilian adolescents (14–18 years old). Methods This school-based survey was carried out among high school students from Maringá/PR/Brazil, (2007) selected through two-stage random sampling. The sample included 991 (54.5% girls) students. The outcome used was waist circumference (WC). The lifestyle variables used were: physical activity; sedentary behaviour and ea…
Prevalência de síndrome metabólica em adolescentes
O objetivo do estudo foi revisar a literatura sobre a prevalência da síndrome metabólica e seus componentes em adolescentes (10-19 anos). Realizou-se busca nas bases eletrônicas MEDLINE e SciELO, referências dos artigos encontrados e contato com autores. Apenas artigos originais que utilizaram os critérios da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) ou do National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) foram considerad…
