Título: Estado nutricional de minorias sexuais no Brasil: pesquisa nacional de saúde 2019 Autor(es): Rocha, Danielly das Chagas Orientador: Gomes, Sávio Marcelino Abstract: Sexual minorities, such as lesbians, gays, and bisexuals, are historically more likely to have poorer health and quality of life due to exposure to prejudice and discrimination. The stress experienced by sexual minorities can directly impact biological functions and behaviors, contributing to the development of noncommunicable diseases and conditions, such as obesity. For this reason, this study aimed to analyze the nutritional status of the Brazilian population based on gender and sexual orientation disparities. To develop the study, microdata from the 2019 National Health Survey were used, considering socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropometric variables to estimate the prevalence (%) and 95% confidence intervals of the sociodemographic profile and nutritional status according to gender and sexual orientation. For this, information from modules A (household), C (general characteristics of residents), D (education characteristics of residents), F (household income), P (lifestyles), and W (anthropometry) was used. The results indicated a percentage of overweight among bisexual women of 26.25% (95% CI 18.67 - 33.83) and homosexuals of 35.30% (95% CI 27.11 - 43.48). Among bisexual and homosexual men, the results of nutritional status were that homosexuals presented 41.21% (95% CI 34.71 - 47.71) of the sample as overweight and bisexuals 35% (95% CI 23.44 - 46.56). The results obtained in this research show a higher proportion of overweight among homosexual men and women. Therefore, these results highlight the need for public policies and strategies that promote the health of the LGB population, taking into account their particularities and vulnerabilities, with the aim of reducing inequalities and improving quality of life.

Título: Análise do comportamento de risco para ortorexia nervosa em estudantes de nutrição da UFPB Autor(es): Leite, Beatriz Santiago Orientador: Moreira, Patrícia Vasconcelos Leitão Abstract: Orthorexia can be defined as a new eating disorder, characterized by an obsession for healthy eating. It is not yet classified as an Official Eating Disorder, as it does not (yet) have diagnostic criteria established and defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Several studies indicate that a large number of nutrition students have at risk behaviors for the development of orthorexia. Thus, the objective of the present study was to identify the prevalence of risk behavior for orthorexia in Nutrition students of the Federal University of Paraíba. The study was descriptive and transversal, participating in the research Nutrition students 18 years of age or older. Three instruments were applied, with the first questionnaire aimed at obtaining information on age, height and weight (BMI calculated by the researchers), and the period of the course, as well as a specific question about the reason for choosing the Nutrition course. The second was used to identify body image disorder, according to the scale of silhouettes. The third was used to verify the risk behavior for the development of orthorexia nervosa (Orto- 15). 83 students with a mean of 21.09 years participated in the study, 81.9% female. Among the subjects evaluated, 71.1% were in the eutrophic range according to the BMI classification. Regarding the perception of the body image, it was verified that 53% of the students presented body image disorder. As to orthorexia, it was observed that 57.8% of the students presented a risk behavior of orthorexia. Therefore, it was concluded that a representative number of students in the course of nutrition presents the risk of developing orthorexia. Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: TCC

Título: A Influência da desregulação da crononutrição no desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis Autor(es): Souza, Elizangela de Oliveira Orientador: Gonçalves, Maria da Conceição Rodrigues Abstract: The prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases has increased significantly, and adequate nutrition is one of the main modifiable factors that helps in prevention and treatment. In this sense, it becomes extremely relevant to elucidate this relationship and seek new effective approaches that present ideal metabolic outcomes for the body's homeostasis. Among these approaches, chrononutrition stands out, which deals with the study of the relationship between the circadian rhythm and meal times. The objective of the research was to evaluate the metabolic mechanisms that are affected by the dysregulation of the circadian rhythm, understanding how food can influence this rhythm, and to elucidate the strategies in the area of chrononutrition that promoted an improvement in the metabolic profile with consequent intervention in the development of non-communicable chronic diseases. transmissible. This work is a Literature Review carried out through searches of scientific articles between the years 2012 to 2022 in the main databases (Pubmed, Science Direct, Portal Periódico Capes, Scielo, Medline and Google Scholar). In total, 70 scientific articles on the subject were obtained, and after complete reading, only 21 articles were considered for the review. As a result, different studies were analyzed that addressed the chrononutrition strategy in the main non-transmissible chronic diseases and how circadian dysregulation can affect their development. In view of this, it was possible to observe that a higher daily caloric intake during the day and lower at night proved to be favorable in the prevention and treatment of Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Cancer, improving the metabolic profile. It is therefore concluded that it is pertinent to deepen knowledge in this area in order to enable the development of more adequate and innovative nutritional interventions.

Título: Avaliação da seletividade alimentar em autistas escolares Autor(es): Coutinho, Victor Matheus de Figueiredo Orientador: Guedes, Cinthia Karla Rodrigues do Monte Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social, communicative, and behavioral impairments, which negatively affect an individual's relationship with food, leading to nutritional deficiencies and aggravation of the underlying condition. Recent studies indicate that around 1% of the global population has autism, and within this group, approximately 80% exhibit food selectivity. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the food selectivity of patients with autism. The present study is a cross- sectional research and is part of a project entitled "Nutritional Assessment, Food Selectivity, and Gut Microbiota in Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder," with CAAE: 67762723.0.0000.5188. Its target audience consisted of school-age children with autism who are supported by the Fundação Centro Integrado de Apoio à Pessoa com Deficiência (FUNAD) in João Pessoa-PB. Food selectivity was diagnosed, described, and classified according to its frequency and level of intensity. Data collection for this research was conducted in the waiting room of FUNAD services, with the participation of caregivers and individuals with ASD, using a questionnaire created on Google Forms. The data were tabulated on the Google Sheets platform and analyzed using descriptive statistics via SPSS software for Windows, version 21.0. Of the 86 participants in the study, 9.3% did not exhibit food selectivity, 30.2% exhibited mild selectivity, 52.3% showed moderate selectivity, and 8.1% displayed severe selectivity, which also provides an overview of the ASD population in João Pessoa-PB. From the data analysis, it was concluded that the studied population showed a high prevalence of food selectivity, especially at a moderate level. This reinforces the need for appropriate interventions that can improve the quality of life for this population. Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: TCC
