Breastfeeding in the prevention of long term overweight and obesity in children - a population-based cohort study

Background: Breast milk can have a protective effect on the development of obesity and overweight and promotes the development of the gastrointestinal system, the central nervous system (CNS), the endocrine system and the immune system. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life and until at least 2 years of age. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age on reducing the incidence of overweight and obesity among children aged up to 10 years; and to estimate the annual incidence of obesity and overweight in the study population. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis using electronic health records of children aged zero to ten years, born between 01/01/2006 and 31/12/2022, followed at the Unidade Local de Saúde e Matosinhos (ULSM), in child health appointments. Through electronic health records data was collected of weight (in kg), length (in cm) or height (in m) and Body Mass Index (BMI) (in kg/m2) and exclusive breastfeeding or not, until six months of age. Information on pathological antecedents was collected from the clinical file and defined as positive or negative control results. Clinical information was also collected from family members of the children involved in the study. Results: In the first year of life, approximately 29% of children under exclusive breastfeeding were obese and 20% were overweight. This trend was reversed throughout the study period, with 14% and 10%, respectively, at 9 years of age. At 4 years old, none of the family risk factors were significant to the development of obesity. At the age of 4, the family risk factor most likely to be related to the development of overweight was hypertension. For the obesity and overweight outcomes of interest, there was no effect of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusions: This study shows that obesity and overweight are a public health problem. Health professionals have a key role to play in stemming this trend and encouraging healthy habits in families. The fact that this study showed that exclusive breastfeeding did not reduce obesity and overweight up to the age of 10, but did show positive outcomes for asthma and allergic rhinitis, emphasises the importance of further studies in this area of interest.Background: Breast milk can have a protective effect on the development of obesity and overweight and promotes the development of the gastrointestinal system, the central nervous system (CNS), the endocrine system and the immune system.

Breast Milk and Metabolic Programming: Short-Term and Long-Term Health Benefits

Nutrition plays a major role in the development of health and disease later in adulthood. Breastfeeding is considered a cornerstone of healthy infant nutrition. It provides energy and nutrients that will help preventing both undernutrition, overweight and obesity. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) theory suggests that breast milk may play a role in modulating epigenetic factors such as DNA methylation from early stages of the life cycle. Exclusively breastfeeding infants presented lower blood pressure and serum cholesterol in adult life and lower risk of obesity and metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular disease. It is believed that these effects are associated with the nutritional differences between breast milk and infant formula, such as lower protein content and the presence of bioactive components in breast milk. Epigenetic mechanisms may be the cause for the so claimed protective effect of breast milk in relation to the development of many diseases

Associação recicladora vitória: a transformação social para consolidar a cadeia produtiva da reciclagem

O presente trabalho é resultado de uma atividade de assessoria participativa desenvolvida pelo Núcleo de Desenvolvimento Social e Econômico - NUDESE, através do projeto Incubadora Tecnológica de Cooperativas Populares – INTECOOP/FURG, que realiza a incubação da Associação Recicladora Vitória - fundada em 2002, por um grupo de mulheres que encontraram na reciclagem uma alternativa de geração de trabalho e renda. A assessoria neste grupo se dá desde sua constituição, e ao longo deste período o desenvolvimento do mesmo pode se destacar pelo crescimento tanto em conquistas de estruturas físicas, através de convênios/projetos com a Petrobras e Fundação Vonpar, aliada as relações interpessoais e institucionais, nas quais as integrantes desse grupo deixaram de ser coadjuvantes e passaram a ser protagonistas, numa participação cidadã dentro da vida social e pública do município e bairro onde vivem – Vila da Quinta. O objetivo desse trabalho é identificar os níveis de desenvolvimento político e social das associadas, para que neste contexto se possa potencializar o processo produtivo, buscando, também, a ampliação do quadro de associadas através da divulgação do trabalho desenvolvido na comunidade. A metodologia do NUDESE se caracteriza pelos princípios da pesquisa participativa, resultando num movimento de ação-reflexão-ação. Este movimento se dá de forma espiral, de avanços e retrocessos, buscando a superação das contradições apresentadas na caminhada do grupo. Acredita-se que as associadas encontram-se num processo de desenvolvimento coletivo na produção de sua sustentabilidade e, principalmente, como seres autônomos capazes de assumirem novas relações socioeconômicas.This work is the result of a activity participatory advisory developed by the Center de Development Social e Economic – NUDESE, by the project Incubator Tecnologic of Cooperatives Populli - INTECOOP / FURG, with performs the incubation of Association Recycle Vitória, founded in 2002 by a group of women who found in a recycling one alternative source of employment and income. The advice in this group is based on since its inception, and during this period its development can be highlighted by growth in both the physical achievements through agreements / projects with Petrobras and Fundation Vonpar, together with interpersonal relationships and institutional in which the members of this group ceased to be supportive and have become major actors in a more citizen participation in the social and public life of the city and the neighborhood where they live – Villa Quinta. The aim of this study is to identify levels of political development and social partners that in this context is to enhance the production process, seeking also to expand the framework for members through the dissemination of the work in the community. The methodology of NUDESE is characterized by the principles of participatory research, resulting in a movement of self-reflection-action. This movement occurs in a spiral of ebbs and flows, trying to overcome the contradictions at the distance of the group. It is believed that the associated are in a process of collective development in the production of its sustainability and, especially, as autonomous beings capable of taking on new socioeconomic relations

Effect of supplementation of ewes in the final third of gestation on the development of their lambs

This study examined the effect of different supplementation strategies for ewes in the last third of gestation, kept on a deferred Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu pasture, on their performance and the growth curve of their lambs. A total of 54 ewes, of no defined breed, with an average weight of 41.10±3.10 kg, were used in a completely randomized design, divided into three groups (18 ewes per treatment). In total, 61 lambs were born, 28 females and 33 males, with 3.70±0.55 and 3.68±0.69 kg birth weight, respectively. Treatments were as follows: multiple mixture ad libitum, concentrate supplement at 0.4% live weight (LW), and concentrate supplement at 0.8% LW. Average daily weight gain (ADG, g/animal/day) and total weight gain (TWG, kg/animal) were evaluated in ewes and lambs. Reproductive efficiency indices were measured in the ewes and biometric variables in the lambs. The ADG and TWG of ewes in the last third of gestation were higher in animals supplemented at 0.8% LW. Reproductive efficiency results were superior in ewes supplemented at 0.4% LW. The effect of ewe supplementation on lamb growth curve as estimated by the Gompertz model did not reveal differences between the curves of lambs born to ewes that received supplementation at 0.4 and 0.8% LW. However, supplementing ewes with a multiple mixture induced a reduction in the growth curve parameters of their lambs. The use of concentrated supplementation, at levels of 0.4 and 0.8% of LW, provides greater productive and reproductive performance for ewes and lamb
