“…Poor understanding of health issues and a reduced capacity to use health information effectively are additional barriers to effective translation of health messages and adoption of healthy behaviors. To help overcome this issue, studies have suggested that healthcare practitioners utilize clear communication and plain language techniques with all women and their partners who approach them for nutrition counselling 37 . However, to support behavior change, passive provision of information in the hospital setting may not be enough, as seen from multiple weight loss trials 22 .…”

With the increase in obesity prevalence among women of reproductive age globally, the risks of type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, pre‐eclampsia, and other conditions are rising, with detrimental effects on maternal and newborn health. The period before pregnancy is increasingly recognized as crucial for addressing weight management and reducing malnutrition (both under‐ and overnutrition) in both parents to reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the mother as well as the passage of risk to her offspring. Healthcare practitioners, including obstetricians, gynecologists, midwives, and general practitioners, have an important role to play in supporting women in planning a pregnancy and achieving healthy nutrition and weight before pregnancy. In this position paper, the FIGO Pregnancy Obesity and Nutrition Initiative provides an overview of the evidence for preconception clinical guidelines to reduce the risk of NCDs in mothers and their offspring. It encourages healthcare practitioners to initiate a dialogue on women’s health, nutrition, and weight management before conception. While acknowledging the fundamental importance of the wider social and environmental determinants of health, this paper focuses on a simple set of recommendations for clinical practice that can be used even in short consultations. The recommendations can be contextualized based on local cultural and dietary practices as part of a system‐wide public health approach to influence the wider determinants as well as individual factors influencing preconception health.

“…As constatações científicas sobre a relação entre letramento funcional em saúde e comportamento sexual são controversas (22) , sendo que alguns trabalhos detectaram associação negativa (23) , outros positiva (24) . Neste estudo, não foi verificada associação entre letramento em saúde e risco de alterações no exame citopatológico do colo do útero.…”

Objetivo: Analisar os fatores associados ao risco de apresentar altera��es no exame citopatol�gico do colo do �tero. M�todos: Estudo transversal, que contemplou mulheres entre 25 a 64 anos. O risco para um exame alterado foi calculado a partir de quatro crit�rios: primeira rela��o sexual antes dos 18 anos; mais de quatro parceiros sexuais ao longo da vida; hist�ria anterior de doen�a sexualmente transmiss�vel; mais de tr�s partos. As an�lises foram efetuadas utilizando-se os testes Qui-quadrado de Pearson, raz�o de preval�ncia (RP) e Regress�o de Poisson com vari�ncia robusta e intervalo de confian�a (IC) de 95%. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 479 mulheres, das quais 30% apresentaram alto risco para um exame citopatol�gico alterado. Constatou-se que as mulheres com baixa renda (RP = 1,12; IC95%: 1,04-1,21), com percep��o negativa da pr�pria sa�de (RP = 1,13; IC95%: 1,06-1,20), que faziam uso de tabaco (RP = 1,14; IC95%: 1,05-1,23) ou �lcool (RP = 1,09; IC95%: 1,02-1,18) apresentaram alto risco de apresentar um exame alterado, ao passo que a idade elevada (RP = 0,83; IC95%: 0,73�0,95) associou-se � diminui��o desse risco. Conclus�o: As mulheres jovens, de baixa renda, com percep��o negativa da pr�pria sa�de e que usavam tabaco ou �lcool tinham maior probabilidade de apresentar altera��es no exame citopatol�gico do colo do �tero.
