Introduction: In recent years, it has been observed that the prevalence of breastfeeding (BF) is below the standards established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and childhood obesity rates have shown exponential growth. The correlation between both is the subject of studies, since it is possible to analyze the benefits of BF in the prevention of childhood obesity. The aim of the present study was to identify and describe evidence about the correlation between breastfeeding and protection/prevention against childhood obesity. Method: This is a qualitative research with the application of integrative literature review standards, in order to obtain evidence from various types of studies on the researched topic. A search was carried out for scientific articles available in electronic media, published in the last five years, from April to mid-May 2022. Results: 140 articles were found, of which 10 were selected after analysis, according to research criteria. Conclusion: There is a direct relationship between the practice of breastfeeding and the prevention of overweight, especially when the offer is exclusive up to 6 months. The duration of breastfeeding has an influence on overweight and obesity protection.
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto de uma ou mais doenças oportunistas no estado nutricional de pacientes com o Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) internados em um hospital universitário. Métodos: Estudo transversal, prospectivo, realizado em um hospital universitário. Foi aplicado um protocolo de pesquisa objetivando conhecer os dados sociodemográficos, sintomas clínicos, dados antropométricos e presença de doenças oportunistas. Resultados: Na amostra houve prevalência de 56,01% do sexo feminino, sendo 51% na faixa etária de 25 a 39 anos, 70,7% dos pacientes declararam ter um companheiro. Dentre os sintomas clínicos, boca seca obteve maior predominância (56%). A desnutrição se mostrou mais prevalente em todas as variáveis antropométricas, entretanto, ao correlacioná-los com as doenças oportunistas não foi possível observar significância estatística. Quanto às doenças oportunistas, a Tuberculose Pulmonar foi a mais recorrente (32,4%), isoladamente (12,95%) ou associada (19,45%). Conclusão: A maioria dos pacientes apresentou estado nutricional de desnutrição, fato que reforça a necessidade do monitoramento nutricional de forma precoce, visando o restabelecimento do estado nutricional.
