The alteration in the composition and function of the microbiota is called dysbiosis, a condition associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.Lactobacillus casei has demonstrated beneficial effects on glycemic control in experimental studies; however, there is a need for clinical evidence in overweight and obese populations.Objective: To evaluate the effect of supplementation containing Lactobacillus casei strains on the glycemic profile of overweight and obese patients assisted at the Nutrition Outpatient Clinic of the University Hospital of Aracaju/SE.Methods: Prospective intervention study with adult and elderly participants (mean age 57.5 ± 15.03 years; 66.7% women) with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m² and glycated hemoglobin ≥ 5.7%. Participants received supplementation with 2 daily capsules of Lactobacillus casei (5×10⁹ CFU each) for 12 weeks. Sociodemographic, anthropometric (weight, height, BMI, circumferences), and biochemical data (glycated hemoglobin, fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-BETA) were collected before and after intervention. Statistical analysis used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to verify normality in data distribution, paired t-test for parametric variables, and Wilcoxon test for nonparametric variables in comparing data between pre- and post-intervention moments, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The sample presented a mean weight of 88.1 ± 16.01 kg and mean BMI of 32.53 ± 4.61 kg/m². No significant differences were observed in anthropometric parameters after intervention. In the glycemic profile, only insulin showed a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.028), with mean levels decreasing from 22.69 ± 24.14 μU/mL to 20.75 ± 26.72 μU/mL. Fasting glucose (p = 0.666) and glycated hemoglobin (p = 0.798) remained stable.Conclusion: Lactobacillus casei supplementation promoted a significant reduction in insulin levels without changes in other anthropometric and glycemic parameters.

This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study, carried out at the Lagarto University Hospital (HUL), in Sergipe. A total of 70 participants composed of adults and elderly individuals were included in the study sample. Anthropometric assessment, muscle strength assessment and electrical bioimpedance were performed, and information for Bioimpedance Vector Analysis and calculation of Appendicular Muscle Mass and Phase Angle were obtained through electrical bioimpedance. To assess muscle strength, a dynamometer was used. Sarcopenia was defined as low muscle strength and low muscle mass according to the guidelines of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2. The statistical program R Core Team was used for data analysis, adopting a 95% confidence interval. In this study, it was observed that 34.3% of the participants were classified as sarcopenic. The vector displacement analysis demonstrated a lower cell mass in sarcopenic men and women. The Phase Angle, in turn, also correlated with the Height-Adjusted Appendicular Muscle Mass in both sexes. The present study showed the good predictive capacity of the Phase Angle as an indicator of muscle strength and quality of muscle mass in hospitalized patients.

The sale of ultra-processed foods and drinks in school canteens has been an aggravating factor. Technical materials with updated national guidelines can favor the implementation of healthy school canteens, encouraging better food choices among children and adolescents in the school environment. Objectives: To validate the content of the second edition of the “Healthy School Canteens Manual: promoting healthy eating”. Methods: Methodological study, developed in five stages: 1) bibliographical survey in the main scientific databases and national institutional repositories; 2) updating the content of the material; 3) review of the content by researchers involved with the theme of each chapter; 4) review of the material by the General Coordination of Food and Nutrition (CGAN/MS); 5) content validation by a panel of experts on the subject and Communication and Language professionals from the five regions of the country. Validation data was collected through an online questionnaire, with response options based on a Likert scale. In data analysis, descriptive statistics were used for the specialists' sociodemographic data and Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) for each item (CVCi), for each domain (CVCd) and for the complete material (CVCf), with a cutoff point equal to 0.80. Items related to the Objectives, Relevance and Language domains were evaluated. Results: The content of the second edition of the Manual was validated by 11 expert judges on the themes of school food environment and promotion of adequate and healthy eating and by five Communication or Language professionals. For the objective, relevance and language domains, CVCs of 0.93, 1.0 and 0.87 were obtained, respectively. The final CVC was 0.93. Final considerations: The updated and validated document is suitable for the school community and could contribute to the implementation of healthy school canteens, being a powerful tool for transforming these spaces into places to promote adequate and healthy eating in the school environment.
