    A dietary pattern characterized by high consumption of ultra-processed foods, sugary beverages, and low intake of natural foods has been observed among children. These changes in dietary quality and a sedentary lifestyle are proposed as key etiological factors contributing to childhood obesity and weight-related chronic diseases. A diverse and high-quality diet is considered effective in reducing the risk of childhood overweight. Therefore, it is crucial to apply methods to assess diet quality and identify other factors that may influence weight gain in children. Understanding how these variables affect children's health and food choices can guide the development of future interventions for this population, ultimately improving their quality of life and contributing to the cultivation of healthy adults. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between diet quality and anthropometric, socioeconomic, and health factors in children aged 7 to 9 years. Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among children aged 7 to 9 years. Data on socioeconomic status, anthropometric measurements, sleep habits, screen time, and dietary habits were collected. Descriptive data analysis was performed, followed by inferential analyses using the Chi-squared test and multinomial logistic regression. Results: A total of 336 children aged 7 to 9 years were evaluated, comprising 157 (46.7%) boys and 179 (53.3%) girls. Regarding diet quality, 109 (32.4%) children had a low-quality diet, 135 (40.2%) had a moderate-quality diet, and 92 (27.4%) had a high-quality diet. A statistically significant difference was found between screen time and diet quality for both boys and girls (pvalue 0.010 and 0.025, respectively). Multinomial logistic regression revealed that boys with appropriate screen time had a 7.54 times higher chance of having a high-quality diet, while girls had a 3.26 times higher chance. Conclusion: Children's diet quality may be influenced by screen time. However, diet quality was not associated with BMI and other variables. Further studies are needed to better investigate how prolonged exposure to electronic devices may affect the food choices of these children and promote weight gain.

    Estado nutricional, análise da letalidade e mortalidade de pacientes que vivem com HIV/Aids na pandemia da Covid-19
    (Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2023-12-06) Tosta, Bianka de Freitas Cordeiro Bassini; Abreu, Luiz Carlos de; https://orcid.org/0000000276182109; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6796970691432850; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3719-7578; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7703795565945161; Silva, Alan Patricio da; Leitao, Francisco Naildo Cardoso
    Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a retrovirus that attacks the immune system, which is responsible for defending the body against disease. The infection is characterized by a progressive decrease in TCD4 lymphocytes, culminating in the appearance of opportunistic diseases and neoplasms and constant protein-energy malnutrition, resulting in a state of profound immunodeficiency. At the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 emerged, authorities and health professionals assumed that people living with HIV and other immunocompromised conditions would be in a high risk group for the severe form of the disease. Objective: To assess the nutritional status of patients living with HIV/AIDS, including the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The research was carried out at the reference center for sexually transmitted infections and HIV, of the Vitória/ES City Hall, by means of a time series study using secondary data through the electronic medical record information system, the medication logistics control system, the information system for notifiable diseases and the mortality information system. Results: 1581 HIV-positive patients were analyzed, 77.8% of whom were male and 22.2% female. The number of deaths analyzed was 135 (89 men and 46 women) 4 deaths from COVID-19. Conclusion: Data are limited on the clinical impact of nutritional status and COVID-19 disease in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus. Thus, this study, within its limits, joins other works in the search for a greater understanding of the effects of COVID-19 in HIV patients, thus contributing to the continuous expansion of knowledge in this specific field.
