“…Estudos prévios já relataram disparidades da QVRS entre os sexos. Em geral, as meninas tem pior julgamento da sua QV, sobretudo no que tange à insatisfação com a imagem corporal, por vezes relacionada à alteração do peso e hábitos sedentários, o que requer maior atenção no que tange à ocorrência emoções depressivas, sentimentos estressantes e comportamento suicida (14)(15)(16) . Ademais, elas julgam ter menor oportunidade para decidir sobre o tempo gasto com atividades sociais e de lazer, corroborando para a ocorrência de conflitos familiares na tentativa de negociação da autonomia e questionamento da autoridade dos pais (17) .…”

Objetivo: Analisar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) e a sua relação com o rendimento acadêmico (RA) segundo o sexo de adolescentes. Material e Método: Estudo transversal realizado no Instituto Federal do Maranhão, nas cidades de Pedreiras e Grajaú, nordeste do Brasil, entre maio e agosto de 2018. 289 adolescentes participaram na pesquisa. Além da caracterização sociodemográfica, a coleta de dados envolveu a mensuração da QVRS por meio do KIDSCREEN-52 e a coleta direta de dados acadêmicos através do sistema escolar. As diferenças da QVRS por sexo foram verificadas por meio do Teste U de Mann-Whitney. A relação entre as variáveis QVRS e RA foi estabelecida por meio da Correlação de Spearman. Resultados: As meninas apresentaram pior percepção da QVRS geral e em seis das dez dimensões avaliadas. Sobre as correlações estabelecidas entre QVRS e RA, apesar de significativas, apresentaram limiar fraco. Para as meninas, verificou-se relação direta do RA com saúde e atividade física, sentimentos, estado emocional, ambiente familiar e escolar. Para os meninos, correlações negativas do RA com a saúde e atividade física e a autopercepção, e positiva com o ambiente escolar. Conclusão: As adolescentes apresentaram pior percepção da QVRS na maioria das dimensões avaliadas. Sobre a correlação entre QVRS e RA, foram percebidas diferenças significativas entre os sexos: para as meninas, a saúde física e psíquica e o bem estar familiar e escolar estiveram diretamente relacionados ao RA; para os meninos, o potencial negativo das dimensões saúde e atividade física e autopercepcção sobre o RA foi destacado.

“…Proper eating habits, which include regular and rational eating, and appropriately balanced meals, have an effect on good fitness and health, while flawed eating in the formative years of one's life is an early risk factor of overweight, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. In the period of adolescence, flawed eating has a detrimental effect not only on the development of a young person, their health, mood and ability to learn, but also their health condition in the later stages of life [2,6,7].…”

Introduction and objective. Measurement of the health-related quality of life is currently one of the significant methods of self-evaluation of heath, enabling the detection of disorders in the biopsychosocial functioning of children and adolescents. The aim of the study was to establish significant relationships between the subjective sense of the health-related quality of life, eating habits and objective parameters of physical development among a group of adolescents. Materials and method. The study applied a diagnostic survey methodology with the use of the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire, the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire, anthropometric measures of choice, and a selfconstructed questionnaire. The significance level was set at p<0.05. The collected data was gathered and analyzed using Statistica 10.0 PL. Results. Three distinct groups of adolescents with a varying subjective sense of the quality of life were identified. The frequency of basic meal consumption among participants showed some abnormalities. This concerned breakfast in particular, which was consumed before going to school by over half of the participants (63.61%), with boys (70.07%) eating it significantly more frequently than girls (57.83%). Indices based on weight-to-height ratios, such as: BMI, Rohrer's Index and Slender Index were significantly greater in value among boys compared with girls. Conclusions. Adolescents from the Świętokrzyskie region, for the most part exhibited a high subjective sense of the quality of life. The physical development of the participants, as far as basic anthropometric characteristics are concerned, was mostly appropriate and consistent with a high subjective sense of the quality of life and exhibited eating habits.

Background/Objectives The aim of this trial was to investigate the effect of mastic mouthwash on halitosis using as a proxy the levels of the Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs), and the effect on plaque and gingival indices in adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed conventional labial appliances. Subjects/Methods The study was a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial. Thirty patients with fixed orthodontic appliances were randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio, to either the mastic-mouthwash or the placebo-mouthwash group. Eligibility criteria included ages between 13 and 18, active orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances, good general health, and total initial VSCs levels above 150 ppb. The primary outcome was the objective hydrogen sulfide (H2S) level, measured with the Oral ChromaTM device. The secondary outcomes were (1.) the methyl-mercaptan (CH3SH) and (2.) dimethyl sulfide [(CH3)2S] levels, measured with the same device, (3.) the subjective perception of the own malodour via questionnaires, and (4.) the oral hygiene assessed with the use of the Modified Silness and Löe Plaque Index (PI-M) and the Silness and Löe Gingival Index (GI) at baseline (T0) and after 2 weeks (T1). Stratified randomization by gender was used, and allocation was concealed with opaque numbered sealed envelopes. Results H2S level dropped from 221.00 ppb (T0) to 125.00 ppb (T1), and the difference between treatment groups was statistically significant in favour of the mastic group (coef: 72.34, 95% CI: 8.48, 136.27, P = 0.03). The levels of the other VSCs, the subjective measurements of oral malodour, and the oral hygiene indices did not differ between treatment arms. Limitations The objective organoleptic assessment by a calibrated examiner was not performed. Conclusions/Implications Mastic mouthwashes could be an alternative treatment for adolescent patients suffering from halitosis during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Registration The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT05647369).
