Beyond the prescription
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are transforming medicine globally. Given the efficacy and the demand for these drugs for weight loss, significant and complex social implications will follow. Drawing on our current qualitative studies with users in Brazil, Denmark, Japan, the United States, and online communities, alongside our pre-GLP-1RA studies in ten additional countries, we identify nine emerging global trends. These inc…
More than Meets the Eye
Most studies on bariatric surgery identify personal factors such as “non-compliance” to lifestyle changes as the cause of weight gain and subsequent inability to lose weight. Prior qualitative studies suggest that weight loss patients have complicated relationships with both self and weight, with significant emotional and psychological implications. But how do patients themselves understand the trajectories of their weight gain as related to intr…
Health-related quality of life and functionality in primary caregiver of surviving pediatric Covid-19
Objectives To prospectively assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL), global functionality, and disability in primary caregivers of surviving children and adolescents after COVID-19. Methods A longitudinal observational study was carried out on primary caregivers of surviving pediatric post-COVID-19 patients ( n = 51) and subjects without COVID-19 ( n = 60). EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and 12-question WHO Disab…
Home-Based Exercise Training in the Recovery of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
Our results suggest that exercise may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of post-discharge MIS-C patients. As our design does not allow inferring causality, randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm these preliminary findings
Increased Prolonged Sitting in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Imposed social distancing measures to contain the COVID-19 outbreak were associated with decreased physical activity and increased prolonged sedentary behavior, but did not change clinical symptoms sitting among patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Exercise training and DNA methylation profile in post-bariatric women
Exercise training and bariatric surgery have been shown to independently modulate DNA methylation profile in clusters of genes related to metabolic and inflammatory pathways. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 6-month exercise training program on DNA methylation profile in women who underwent bariatric surgery. In this exploratory, quasi-experimental study, we analyzed DNA methylation levels by array technology in eleven women who u…
Creatine O'Clock
It is well-established that creatine supplementation augments the gains in muscle mass and performance during periods of resistance training. However, whether the timing of creatine ingestion influences these physical and physiological adaptations is unclear. Muscle contractions increase blood flow and possibly creatine transport kinetics which has led some to speculate that creatine in close proximity to resistance training sessions may lead to …
Benefits of Home-Based Exercise Training Following Critical Sars-CoV-2 Infection
In the current scenario, in which an elevated number of COVID-19 survivors present with severe physical deconditioning, exercise intolerance, persistent symptoms, and other post-acute consequences, effective rehabilitation strategies are of utmost relevance. In this study, we report for the first time the effect of home-based exercise training (HBET) in a survivor patient from critical COVID-19 illness. A 67-year-old woman who had critical COVID-…
Social isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic can increase physical inactivity and the global burden of cardiovascular disease
Emerging data indicate a substantial decrease in global physical activity levels during the period of social isolation adopted worldwide to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Confinement-induced decreases in physical activity levels and increases in sedentary behavior may provoke a rapid deterioration of cardiovascular health and premature deaths among populations with increased cardiovascular risk. Even short-term (1–…
Before I Saw a Gas Canister, Now I See a Person
Weight stigma is reportedly globalizing, but there is limited evidence of how concerns around weight change are impacting those in many places. Additionally, few studies to date have considered how weight stigma operates in the context of interventions that purposefully eschew from a focus on weight itself. We have used qualitative analysis to examine body acceptance and responses to weight stigma among urban Brazilian gorda women participating i…
It is over there, next to that fat lady
We investigated fat women's perceptions of their own bodies and their experiences with weight-related discriminations, and how these situations affected their well-being. Thirty-nine obese women were interviewed, and three axes of analysis were identified: (1) repercussions of being fat, (2) living with a fat body, and (3) am I a person or just a fat body? These axes were composed of eight themes which had similar meaning or complemented each oth…
Adaptação transcultural para o português dos Questionários de Desejos Intensos por Comida – Estado ou Traço (QDIC-E e QDIC-T) dos State and Trait Food-Cravings Questionnaires (FCQ-S and FCQ-T)
Este estudo objetivou apresentar a adaptação transcultural dos Questionários de Desejos Intensos por Comida – Estado ou Traço (QDIC-E e QDIC-T) dos State and Trait Food-Cravings Questionnaires (FCQ-S and FCQ-T) para o Português. Fez-se a tradução e a retradução dos instrumentos, a avaliação da equivalência conceitual, operacional e de itens por especialistas da área e a avaliação dos instrumentos por uma amostra de universitários, por meio da ava…
