“…Through epidemiological studies, it is possible to identify relevant associations that exist on dietary patterns and prevalence of cancer 2,4 , and feeding has an important role in the stages of initiation, promotion and progression of disease 10 . The food frequency questionnaire semiquantitative (sqFFQ) was chosen as one of the best methodological tools for studies linking diet and disease; it quantifies the usual food intake of populations and has good reproducibility 3,22 .…”

SUMMARY -Background -The cancer is defined as chronic multifactorial disease, in which cells have uncontrolled growth. Several factors contribute to its development, one of them is inadequate diet. The stages of initiation, promotion and progression of carcinogenesis have often been related to oxidative stress. Aim -To assess the consumption of antioxidants in cancer patients during the different cycles of chemotherapy. Methods -A descriptive exploratory study, including patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy.To investigate the consumption of antioxidants, was prepared a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (sqFFQ) and an anamnesis clinic-nutrition chart. ResultsThe sample consisted of 30 patients with mean age of 56.4 ± 2.3 years. According to the daily consumption represented by cycles, there was an adequate intake of vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc and inadequate intake of vitamin A and selenium. By dividing the study in the four quartiles of intake of antioxidants, there was adequate intake of vitamin A with 25% and inadequate amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, Zinc in 25% of the sample and also selenium in all quartiles. Among the studied food sources considered rich in antioxidants, the most used were carrot, spinach, papaya, orange, soybean oil, sunflower oil, red meat, cheese and chicken. Conclusion -The studied population reached the recommended daily intake for antioxidants when it was analyzed in cycles of treatment, but there was high percentage of inadequate intake when divided into quartiles. Thus, the nutritional advice is an indispensable factor to help prevent and control cancer. ABCDDV/773RESUMO -Racional -O câncer é definido como enfermidade multicausal crônica, em que as células possuem crescimento descontrolado. Resulta de vários fatores, sendo um dos principais, a dieta inadequada. As fases de iniciação, promoção e progressão de carcinogênese têm sido frequentemente relacionadas ao estresse oxidativo. Objetivo -Verificar o consumo de antioxidantes em pacientes com câncer durante os diferentes ciclos de quimioterapia. Métodos -Estudo descritivo exploratório, incluindo pacientes em tratamento quimioterápico em ambulatório de quimioterapia. Para investigar o consumo de antioxidantes foi elaborado um questionário de frequência alimentar semi-quantitativo (QFASQ) e uma ficha de anamnese clinica -nutricional. Resultados -Amostra foi composta por 30 pacientes com idade média de 56,4±2,3 anos. De acordo com o consumo diário representado pelos ciclos, houve adequado consumo de vitamina C, vitamina E e Zinco e inadequado consumo de vitamina A e Selênio. Ao dividir a tabela estudada segundo os quatro quartis de consumo diário de antioxidantes, houve consumo adequado de vitamina A em 25% da amostra e inadequado de vitamina C, vitamina E, zinco em 25% da amostra e de também selênio em todos os ciclos. Entre as fontes alimentares consideradas ricas nos antioxidantes estudados, as mais consumidas foram cenoura, espinafre, mamão, laranja, óleo de soja, óleo de girassol, carne vermelha, queijo e ...

“…39,40 The need for proven strategies to promote healthy diets is expected to continue to rise, given the ongoing obesity epidemic and the impact of diet on chronic disease outcomes. Our results suggest that the disseminated Body & Soul program may not produce improvements in FV intake equal to those in the earlier efficacy and effectiveness trials, primarily due to lack of program implementation.…”

Objective To evaluate whether the evidence-based Body & Soul program, when disseminated and implemented without researcher or agency involvement and support, would achieve similar results to earlier efficacy and effectiveness trials. Design Prospective group randomized trial. Setting Churches with predominantly African American membership. Participants A total of 1033 members from the fifteen churches completed baseline surveys. Of these, 562 (54.4%) completed the follow-up survey six months later. Intervention Church-based nutrition program for African Americans that included pastoral involvement, educational activities, church environmental changes, and peer counseling. Main Outcome Measure Daily fruit and vegetable (FV) intake was assessed at pre- and post-test. Analysis Mixed-effects linear models. Results At posttest, there was no statistically significant difference in daily servings of FV between the early intervention group participants compared to control group participants (4.7 vs, 4.4, P=0.38). Process evaluation suggested that added resources such as technical assistance could improve program implementation. Conclusions and Implications The disseminated program may not produce improvements in FV intake equal to those in the earlier efficacy and effectiveness trials, primarily due to lack of program implementation. Program dissemination may not achieve public health impact unless support systems are strengthened for adequate implementation at the church level.
