-Background -Chronic gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach mucosa, which is considered its main etiological factor the Helicobacter pylori. Aim -To observe the differences in patients with chronic gastritis as well as the presence and absence of H. pylori, to obtain a better understanding of the etiological factors, clinical, dietary and lifestyle habits and associated diseases. Methods -This was a descriptive study, retrospective medical records of patients with chronic gastritis treated as outpatients. Endoscopy and research of H. pylori was used in the diagnosis of chronic gastritis. The survey was conducted through a questionnaire to ascertain the risk factors for chronic gastritis and the clinical manifestations of disease, dietary and lifestyle habits, family history of the disease, weight changes and medications. For statistical analysis was used Spearman coefficient. Data were considered statistically significant p<0.05. Results -Of the 94 patients evaluated were symptomatic with heartburn, belching, epigastric pain, fullness and nausea. In 56.6% (n = 54) of individuals was detected the presence of bacteria and in 43.6% (n = 40) was not found any specific etiologic factor. Was performed chi-square statistical test of clinical manifestations and factors such as stress and anxiety, leading to positive correlation. It became evident that the risk factors for disease are diverse, including the use of drugs, alcoholism, eating quickly, talking during meals, with significant relation to abdominal distension and reflux.The patients with the bacteria, had a higher risk of experiencing these symptoms. Conclusion -Various etiological factors in eating habits and lifestyle, as smoking, alcoholism, anxiety, stress, associated diseases and inadequate nutrition, interact to the onset of clinical manifestations, and the presence and absence of H. pylori did not show significant changes in patient clinical status. ABCDDV/850RESUMO -Racional -A gastrite crônica é inflamação da mucosa do estômago, que tem como principal fator etiológico o Helicobacter pylori. Objetivo -Verificar fatores associados com a gastrite crônica em pacientes com presença e ausência do H. pylori, visando obter maior conhecimento sobre os fatores etiológicos, manifestações clínicas, hábitos alimentares e de vida nesses pacientes. Métodos -Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo com dados de prontuário de pacientes com gastrite crônica atendidos em ambulatório. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um questionário que investigava fatores etiológicos da gastrite crônica, bem como as manifestações clínicas das doenças, os hábitos alimentares e de vida, entre outros. Endoscopia digestiva e pesquisa do H. pylori foi a forma de diagnóstico da gastrite crônica. Para análise estatística foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado. Resultados -Dos 94 pacientes avaliados a maioria era sintomático, apresentando pirose, eructações, dor epigástrica, plenitude gástrica e náuseas. Em 56,6% (n=54) dos individuos foi detectada a presença da bactéria e e...

OBJETIVO: Verificar sintomas de transtornos alimentares em estudantes de Nutrição do sexo feminino em relação ao estado nutricional, à prática de atividade física e ao semestre cursado. MÉTODOS: Foi utilizado o Eating Attitudes Test-26 para verificar sintomas de transtornos alimentares em estudantes do curso de Nutrição de uma faculdade particular do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram coletados dados de peso e altura para a avaliação do estado nutricional, semestre cursado, prática de atividade física e dados demográficos. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por 186 alunas. As entrevistadas, em sua maioria, apresentavam entre 21 e 25 anos de idade (50,0%), cor branca (93,5%), renda inferior a 10 salários-mínimos (66,0%) e eram solteiras (91,0%). Os resultados do Eating Attitudes Test-26 demonstraram que 24,7% das estudantes apresentavam sintomas de transtornos alimentares. Cerca de 85,5% das estudantes da amostra eram eutróficas, 8,5% apresentavam algum grau de desnutrição e 6,0%, sobrepeso e/ou obesidade. Não houve significância estatística na comparação entre sintomas de transtornos alimentares com o estado nutricional (p=0,32), o semestre cursado (p=0,67) e com a prática de atividade física (p=0,12). CONCLUSÃO: Foi identificada alta proporção de sintomas de transtornos alimentares, porém sem significância estatística quando comparado com o estado nutricional, à atividade física e ao semestre cursado.

OBJECTIVE This study aims to verify the adequacy profile of the cities of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in relation to the purchase of products of family farming by the Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE - National Program of School Meals).METHODS This is a quantitative descriptive study, with secondary data analysis (public calls-to-bid). The sample consisted of approximately 10% (n = 52) of the cities in the State, establishing a representation by mesoregion and size of the population. We have assessed the percentage of food purchased from family farming, as well as the type of product, requirements of frequency, delivery points, and presence of prices in 114 notices of public calls-to-bid, in 2013.RESULTS Of the cities analyzed, 71.2% (n = 37) reached 30% of food purchased from family farming. Most public calls-to-bid demanded both products of plant (90.4%; n = 103) and animal origin (79.8%; n = 91). Regarding the degree of processing, fresh products appeared in 92.1% (n = 105) of the public calls-to-bid. In relation to the delivery of products, centralized (49.1%; n = 56) and weekly deliveries (47.4%; n = 54) were the most described. Only 60% (n = 68) of the public calls-to-bid contained the price of products.CONCLUSIONS Most of the cities analyzed have fulfilled what is determined by the legislation of the PNAE. We have found in the public calls-to-bid a wide variety of food, both of plant and animal origin, and most of it is fresh. In relation to the delivery of the products, the centralized and weekly options prevailed.

ASTRACTObjective: To evaluate the consumption of ultra-processed foods and related factors in adolescents.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 784 adolescents (both sexes and aged between 12 and 19 years) from public and private schools in the municipality of Palmeira das Missões, Brazil. Food consumption was recorded by the semiquantitative questionnaire of frequency of food consumption and converted to energy (kcal/day). Foods were classified as minimally processed, group 1 (G1); processed foods, group 2 (G2); and ultra-processed foods, group 3 (G3). The variables evaluated were sex, socioeconomic class, color, physical activity, body mass index, and blood pressure levels. In the comparison of quantitative variables, the Mann-Whitney test and the Kruskal-Wallis H test were used. To adjust the differences between the groups, considering the effects of total calories, the covariance analysis test (ANCOVA) was applied.Results: The median of the total energy consumption was 3,039.8 kcal, and that of ultra-processed foods was 1,496.5 kcal/day (49.23%). The caloric intake from foods in G1, G2, and G3 did not differ according to the skin color of the adolescents. Those belonging to socioeconomic classes C and D are the most frequent consumers of calories from G2 and G3 (p<0.001). Underactive teens consume fewer calories from minimally processed foods. Eutrophic adolescents present higher consumption of G3 foods (p<0.001) when compared to those who are overweight.Conclusions: The consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with socioeconomic level, physical activity level, and nutritional status.
