EXCESSO DE PESO E RISCO CARDIOMETABÓLICO EM SERVIDORES ATENDIDOS PELO PROGRAMA INSTITUCIONAL “UFMA SAUDÁVEL”

Introdução: A ocorrência do sobrepeso e da obesidade vem aumentando no mundo inteiro. No Brasil, segundo dados do Ministérioda Saúde, em 2016, uma em cada cinco pessoas estava com excesso de peso. Nesse contexto, a nutrição tem papel importantena promoção de saúde e qualidade de vida, pois está diretamente relacionada com a adoção de hábitos de vida saudáveis.Objetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional dos servidores públicos de uma universidade. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 55 servidoresadultos. Foram utilizados índice de massa corporal, circunferência da cintura, circunferência do quadril, relação cinturaquadril,relação cintura-estatura, índice de conicidade, dobra cutânea tricipital e percentual de gordura corporal. Resultados: Oíndice de massa corporal revelou 47,3% dos servidores com excesso de peso, 72,9% estavam com excesso de peso pela dobracutânea tricipital e 95,8% apresentaram percentual de gordura corporal acima da média. A circunferência da cintura e o índicede conicidade demonstraram 63,6% e 72,7%, dos servidores, respectivamente com risco de desenvolvimento de doenças cardiometabólicas.Quando comparadas aos homens, as mulheres apresentaram maior prevalência desse risco, demonstrada pelarelação cintura-quadril (p=0,036). Conclusão: Os servidores, adultos jovens, na maioria mulheres, estavam com excesso depeso e gordura corporal total e abdominal, além do risco de desenvolvimento de doenças cardiometabólicas. Destaca-se anecessidade da promoção da saúde, incluindo orientação de uma alimentação adequada e saudável, aliada à prática de atividadefísica no ambiente de trabalho.Palavras-chave: Avaliação Nutricional.

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
