Objective: To assess whether higher adherence to the traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) was associated with lower consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and lower free sugar intake. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of baseline information among participants in the SENDO project, a Spanish paediatric cohort. Dietary information was collected through a semi-quantitative FFQ. Food items were classified according to the NOVA classification. Adherence to the MedDiet was evaluated through the KIDMED index. Setting: Spain. Participants: Three hundred eight-six children (52 % boys) with a mean age of 5·3 years old (sd 1·0) were included in the analysis. Results: 74·4 % of the children had moderate adherence to the MedDiet (mean KIDMED score: 5·9 points; sd 1·7) and overall, 32·2 % of the total energy intake came from UPF. Each two additional points in the KIDMED score was associated with 3·1 % (95 % CI 2·1, 4·0) lower energy intake from UPF. Compared to those with low adherence to the MedDiet, children with medium and high adherence reported 5·0 % (95 % CI 2·2, 7·7) and 8·5 % (95 % CI 5·2, 11·9) lower energy intake from UPF, respectively. We also found that 71·6 % of the variability in free sugar intake was explained by the variability in UPF consumption. Conclusions: Adherence to the traditional MedDiet was inversely associated with energy intake from UPF. Furthermore, most of the variability in free sugar intake was explained by the variability of UPF consumption. Public health strategies are needed to strengthen the adherence to the MedDiet in pre-schoolers while regulating the production, marketing and advertising of UPF.

Based upon the results, it is concluded that HPV DNA may be present in HIV disease, but no association with immunosuppression, delivery, or medical records (CD4 cell count, viral load and use of highly active antiretroviral therapy) was observed, and no differences could be observed between the groups either.

Presença de alimentos regionais e avaliação qualitativa do cardápio planejado em um restaurante universitário da região nordeste do Brasil Presence of regional foods and qualitative evaluation of the planned menu in a university restaurant in northeastern Brazil RESUMOO objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade e a presença de alimentos regionais do cardápio de um restaurante universitário localizado no município de São Cristóvão -SE. O estudo tem caráter transversal, sendo analisado o cardápio do almoço do mês de setembro de 2017 do referido restaurante, por meio da Avaliação Qualitativa das Preparações do Cardápio (AQPC) e presença de alimentos regionais por meio da publicação "Alimentos Regionais Brasileiros". Os dados foram tabulados através do Microsoft Excel e realizada análise estatística descritiva, estimando-se os valores médios e desvio padrão. Quanto aos resultados, a partir do método AQPC encontrou-se baixo consumo de frituras, doces e carnes gordurosas e elevada oferta de frutas e folhosos, em contrapartida, a presença de alimentos ricos em enxofre obteve alta ocorrência. Dos alimentos elencados como regionais do Nordeste, 39% estavam presentes nas preparações planejadas no cardápio avaliado. Concluiu-se que as refeições ofertadas estão adequadas qualitativamente e a oferta de alimentos regionais é considerada regular.Palavras-chave: Serviços de Alimentação, planejamento de cardápio, universidades.
