“…The average values of UAMA have been shown to be higher in men than in women in other studies; however, the absolute values of this research were lower than the values found in other national and international studies. [23][24][25][26] Stevenson et al 10 used quantitative peripheral computed tomography to compare the bones and skeletal muscle of NF1 patients and volunteers not affected by the disease. This study demonstrated that children with NF1 have lower muscle cross-sectional area than their controls, but this did not lead to major advances in the pathophysiology of this finding.…”

SUMMARY Objective To evaluate the body composition and nutritional status of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) adult patients. Method A cross-sectional study of 60 NF1 patients (29 men, 31 women) aged ≥ 18 years who were evaluated from September 2012 to September 2013 in a Neurofibromatosis Outpatient Reference Center. Patients underwent nutritional assessment including measurements of weight, stature, waist circumference (WC), upper-arm circumference (UAC), and skinfolds (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac). Body mass index (BMI), upper-arm total area (UATA), upper-arm muscle area (UAMA), upper-arm fat area (UAFA), body fat percentage (BFP), fat mass, fat-free mass, fat mass index, and fat-free mass index were also calculated. Results The mean age of the study population was 34.48±10.33 years. The prevalence of short stature was 28.3%. Low weight was present in 10% of the sample and 31.7% of patients had a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Reduced UAMA (<5th percentile) was present in 43.3% and no difference was found in UAFA between the sexes. The BFP was considered high in 30% and 17 (28.3%) patients had a WC above the World Health Organization cutoffs. Conclusion In this study, NF1 patients had a high prevalence of underweight, short stature, and reduced UAMA, with no difference between the sexes. Reduced UAMA was more prevalent in underweight patients; however, this was also observed in the normal and overweight patients. Further studies should investigate the distribution of body tissues in NF1 patients, including differences between men and women, and the influence of diet and nutrition on clinical features in NF1.

RESUMO ABSTRACTIntroduction: The present study investigated leprosy in relation to the clinical, sociodemographic, nutritional and dietary profiles of patients diagnosed at primary healthcare units in the suburbs of Greater Vitória, State of Espírito Santo, Brazil, from January to December 2009. Methods: The study involved 152 male and female patients initiating polychemotherapy treatment. The collected data included sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical and dietary aspects derived from a questionnaire of eating frequency (QEF) that was validated and adapted for Brazilian culture. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated to evaluate patient nutritional status. Results: The study showed that: 79 (52%) of the participants were women, average age was 40.4 years-old (±16.9); 81 (53.3%) were employed; the mean number of years of schooling was 7.1 (±4.5). Concerning the disease, 79 (52%) of the participants were multibacillary and 73 (48%) paucibacillary. The bacilloscopy index was negative in 125 (82.2%) patients. Excess weight was identified in 11.8% and 5.3% were underweight. Rice and beans were mentioned frequently, 87.3% and 88.7%, respectively. Conclusions: The study showed that simple actions, initiated during primary healthcare, can help to improve the treatment of patients with the leprosy.

“…Quando estratificado por gênero, essa diferença persistiu somente entre homens, apresentando relação inversa com a idade. Mulheres bambuienses relataram consumo energético semelhante àquelas residentes em Campinas e em uma comunidade universitária (Anselmo et al, 1992;Galeazzi et al, 1997). O consumo energé-tico associou-se à escolaridade; entretanto, parte desse efeito pode ser resultado da distribuição heterogênea dos níveis de escolaridade nos grupos etários.…”
