ck are considered together, a significant increase in average EnKid quality score would be obtained of 1.61 points (maximun of 3) versus 1.38. Conclusions Educational intervention improved knowledge and healthy eating habits in the participating students.

Introduction the use of natural nutritional supplements can be used as a coadjuvant therapy since they have several phytochemicals with potential antioxidant effects that could influence lipid and glycemic metabolism. Objectives to determine the effect of natural propolis supplementation on lipid metabolism and liver antioxidant activity. Material and methods 20 male Wistar albino rats (8 weeks) were divided into two groups of 10 animals each. Subsequently, they were fed two different types of diet for 90 days a standard diet for the control group (diet C) and a standard diet + 2 % propolis (diet P). Hematological and biochemical parameters were assessed. The livers were extracted and washed with saline solution, and the cytosolic fractions were prepared fresh for additional analysis of antioxidant enzymes catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase. Results after consuming the diet supplemented with propolis, we found a reduction in glucose (p < 0,01), total cholestogical and biochemical parameters were assessed. The livers were extracted and washed with saline solution, and the cytosolic fractions were prepared fresh for additional analysis of antioxidant enzymes catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase. Results after consuming the diet supplemented with propolis, we found a reduction in glucose (p less then 0,01), total cholesterol (p less then 0,001), GOT (p less then 0,05) and GPT (p less then 0,01), whereas the propolis supplement induced an increase in the hepatic activity of SOD (p less then 0,001), CAT (p less then 0,01) and GR (p less then 0,05). Conclusion the present study reveals that a dietary propolis supplement (2 %) can improve the lipid and glycemic profiles, also increasing antioxidant enzimes and reducing the release of liver transaminases.

Background the purpose of this research was to determine a regression equation for the estimation of stature based on foot length measurements. Methods this research was carried out in 1,001 subjects (504 male and 497 female) from the population of Montenegrin adolescents. The stature and foot length measurements were taken according to the ISAK protocol, and the data were analyzed statistically. A linear regression analysis determined the prediction of foot length for the criterion variable of body height at a significance level of p < 0.05. These relations are presented in the form of a scatter diagram. We obtained the coefficient of determination, multiple correlation coefficients, a partial correlation coefficient, the regression, a t-test and a standardized beta coefficient. Results the results of this research study confirmed that foot length reliably predicts stature in Montenegrin adolescents of both genders, and revealed a very useful finding for physical anthropologists and experts from relatedest and a standardized beta coefficient. Results the results of this research study confirmed that foot length reliably predicts stature in Montenegrin adolescents of both genders, and revealed a very useful finding for physical anthropologists and experts from related fields. Conclusions it was confirmed that there is a correlation between foot length and body height (males 41.9 %, females 44.3 %). Therefore, foot length has proven to be a reliable predictor on the basis of which actual body height can be estimated. Keywords.

Introduction in individuals with chronic kidney disease, sarcopenia is prevalent and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and the occurrence of cardiovascular complications. Objective to verify the relationship between sarcopenia and inflammation in hemodialysis patients. Methods a cross-sectional study with 209 patients in five hemodialysis units. Demographic, socioeconomic, body composition, clinical laboratory, and functional data were collected. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (grip strength < 27 kg for men and < 16 kg for women; DEXA muscle mass < 7.0 kg/m² for men and < 5.5 kg/m² for women). Inflammation was assessed by C-reactive protein. Results mean age was 51.9 ± 15.0 years, with a predominance of males (59.3 %). The prevalence of sarcopenia was 29.1 % and that of inflammation was 50.2 %. check details A Poisson regression analysis showed that sarcopenia was associated with increased hsCRP values (PR 1.06; 95 % CI 1.01-1an be considered high in this study, as well as inflammation. Being inflamed, presence of DM, being male, increasing age, and % body fat were risk factors for sarcopenia. On the other hand, increased BMI had a protective role.

Background adolescence is a relevant period to educate in healthy eating behaviors. For this purpose it is necessary to obtain expert opinions and reach consensus and prioritize the best methodologies available to educate adolescents on healthy eating. Methods the Delphi method was chosen to get consensus through repeated iterations of anonymous opinions in two rounds. Participants were experts in nutrition (24), education (14), and cooking (2), selected with the following inclusion criteria outstanding professional career; interest shown in their knowledge area, and expertise in healthy eating education. The 40 experts in the first round were reduced to 37 in the second round. The questionnaire was mailed in the first round and the results were sent to establish priorities in the second round. The analysis was done with descriptive statistics (%). Consensus was reached if ≥ 75th percentile. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to analyze internal consistency, which was considered good for an alpha value h breakfast and lunch at school, and on participative activities such as cooking workshops. Conclusions the Delphi method was useful to obtain consensus and priorities on the methodologies to educate adolescents in healthy eating.
