“…A study conducted in Brazilian Northeast region verified that men were more satisfied with their body image when compared to women, even when they were overweight 28 . The hypothesis to these findings is related to cultural and aesthetics aspects, which affect mostly women in a search for a normality standard considered acceptable by society 29 . Additionally, women present a better perception of signs and symptoms of a disease when compared to men 30 .…”

-The acceptance of the disease is essential to health self-care, elder's awareness regarding obesity is suggested to influence their search for health services, and consequently, in obesity's treatment. This study aimed to verify obesity awareness of elders living in rural areas and associated socioeconomic and demographic factors. We conducted a cross-sectional household survey with 562 individuals, who were older than 60 years and were rural residents from a Brazil southeast city. The identification of obesity awareness was consisted in the agreement between the self-referred obesity and the diagnosis criteria using the body-mass index >27Kg/m². The associated socioeconomic and demographic factors were: gender, age range, marital status, education and income. Descriptive statistical analysis, Kappa index and logistic regression (p <0.05) were conducted. The highest percentage of elders were men (53.6%), 60├ 70 years old (62.6%), married (67.8%), studied for 4|-8 years (40.0%) and with an individual monthly income of one minimal wage (45.7%). The prevalence of obesity according to the body-mass index was 34.7% and the self-referred 15.1%, which was classified as regular agreement by the Kappa coefficient (k= 0.232; p<0.001). The majority of the elders with obesity were not aware of this condition (64.6%), with higher odds ratio for men than for women (OR=2.34; CI=1.29-4.77). We found high obesity prevalence among elders residents in the rural area, who did not recognize themselves with this condition. Moreover, elderly men presented lower obesity awareness than women.Key words: Body-mass index; Diagnosis; Elder; Obesity.

“…The pathogenesis, as known, is multidimensional, although this multidimensionality is often overlooked in the design of interventions. Among these dimensions, there are genetic, metabolic, neuroendocrine, socio-cultural, family, psychological aspects [12][13][14] . Far from understanding them as 'factors' in a fractional perspective, as the descriptive epidemiological lens operates, such aspects interact to form an amalgam that signals the alluded complexity.…”

Binge eating disorder is characterized by the consumption of large amounts of food in a short time, accompanied by the feeling of lack of control, remorse and guilt. binge eating disorder has a close interface with the obesity problem, a matter of great dimensions for health services, especially for the high comorbidity. Although this disorder is closely linked to obesity, a matter of great dimensions for healthcare, especially due to it high comorbidity, this disorder is still poorly known in its symbolic dimension, compromising actions directed to this dimension, among them those included in the scope of food and nutrition education. The purpose of this article is to delimitate the issue of binge eating disorder, under a lens based on complex thinking, in order to discuss and support the scope of the nutritional eating education, illustrating, with life experiences, the multidimensionality inherent to eating disorders. The analysis aims to highlight the challenge of working in educational practices focused on these complex disorders. Therefore, we articulated the theoretical with the empirical levels, revisiting, through a reflexive exercise, the discursive material obtained in a broad research carried out by the authors, guided by phenomenological-hermeneutics approach focusing on the understanding of binge eating disorder, with obese women who have also received this diagnosis. The analysis highlights binge eating disorder as an intense experience of suffering, which compromises the ability to innovate and reinvent behavior, in which food operates as an emotional cushion. In this context, healing requires taking an active and engaged place, feeling an active part in the self-transformation process. Thus, food and nutritional education should be conceived in the scope of a comprehensive care, as a fundamental and strategic space due to the specific nature of the practice, in potential terms.

“…Este cenário reforça, no âmbito da Nutrição, olhares que questionam sua abordagem centralmente prescritiva, investindo em debates e ações, muitas vezes em interação com outro espaço da vida acadêmica: a Saúde Coletiva, em especial, aquilo que nela converge para as Ciências Humanas e Sociais. Priorizando reflexões sobre a vida em sociedade e seus dilemas mais amplos e profundos, tratam esses estudiosos de investir na reflexão teórica acerca do vivenciado, vislumbrando novos caminhos pelo desafiante mundo da geração de saberes; são presentes e devires que buscam chão no solo sócio--antropológico, histórico, filosófico, político, psí-quico, tratando de temas como corpo 26 , consumo 27,28 , subjetividades 29,30 , práticas alimentares 31 , campo científico 1,2 e destinos planetários 32 .…”

Alimentação e nutrição como campo científico autônomo no Brasil: conceitos, domínios e projetos políticos

et al. 2011

O artigo problematiza conceitos, domínios e alguns interesses presentes na constituição da Alimentação e Nutrição como campo científico no Brasil. Partindo da teoria dos campos sociais, transversal ao pensamento de Bourdieu e conjugada a reflexões de Stengers acerca de campos científicos, busca-se estabelecer distinções entre os domínios que tratam dos alimentos, e aqueles voltados aos nutrientes e à comida. Reconhecendo dis-tinções entre tais domínios, postula-se que comer, nutrir e alimentar são fenômenos humanos inter-relacionados; assim, a pluralidade epistemológica é exigência primeira para sua compreensão, haja vista as interfaces entre as dimensões biológica e social. Portanto, reconhecer a necessidade da aproximação entre campos científicos é fundamental, ainda que tal aproximação só se estabeleça em processos que envolvem interesses em disputa. Nesse sentido, a despeito dos desafios, defende-se que a articulação entre Alimentação e Nutrição corresponde a projeto político promissor e necessário do ponto de vista da interdisciplinaridade que a natureza desse binômio exige, para sua compreensão como campo de produção de conhecimentos e saberes relativos aos processos socioculturais e biológicos que percorrem várias esferas da vida humana.
