Situacao dos municipios do estado de Sao Paulo com relacao a compra direta de produtos da agricultura familiar para o Programa Nacional de Alimentacao Escolar (PNAE)

INTRODUCTION: In 2009, Law 11,947 was passed, which provides for the care of school meals and consolidates the linkage of family farming with the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), by stipulating that at least 30% of the total financial resources granted by the Federal Government to the states and municipalities should be used for the acquisition of food directly from family farmers and rural entrepreneurs family or their organizations. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the situation of the municipalities of Sao Paulo state in relation to the acquisition of products directly from family farmers after approval of Law 11,947. METHOD: The diagnosis was carried out in the months of June to August 2011 by institutions linked to the Intersectoral School Feeding State Commission (CEIA). For the survey, a questionnaire was used and telephone interviews were conducted with representatives of the 645 municipal districts. RESULTS: It was possible to obtain the following information for a total of 613 municipalities: 47% (288) had already made local purchases at least once in all its stages. Of the 325 municipalities that do not conducted the process at all stages, 57% had not published a public call; 37% published but had not signed the purchase contract; 2% published a call, signed the contract but had not received the products; and 4% published at least one call, received the products but had not yet paid the farmers. CONCLUSION: The results show that approximately 50% of the municipalities evaluated are in a positive situation in relation to the local procurement for PNAE. However, the number of municipalities that did not publish the public call or not signed the contract is still important and deserves attention of the sectors involved.

Anti-oxLDL autoantibodies and their correlation with lipid profile and nutritional status in adolescents

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether levels of autoantibodies to oxidized LDL (anti-oxLDL) in the plasma of adolescents correlates with their anthropometric measurements and lipid profiles. METHODS The study enrolled 150 adolescents aged between 10 and 15 years, recruited from the obesity clinic at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (SP) and from public schools in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. Anthropometric measurements such as body mass index and waist and arm circumferences were used to classify the adolescents as having healthy weight, overweight or obesity. Colorimetric enzymatic methods were used for biochemical lipid profile analysis and ELISA was used to determine anti-oxLDL autoantibody levels. RESULTS Analysis of anthropometric variables indicated that the obese groups profile was abnormal compared to the healthy weight and overweight groups (p < 0.01), indicating cardiovascular risk. Analysis of the lipid profiles demonstrated statistically significant differences in concentrations of total cholesterol (p = 0.011), HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.001) and LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.042) between the healthy weight group and the obese group. Analysis of plasma anti-oxLDL autoantibodies demonstrated that the overweight (p = 0.012) and obese groups (p < 0.001) had higher values than the healthy weight group. There were also correlations between anti-oxLDL autoantibody levels and anthropometric variables. CONCLUSIONS In adolescents the presence of anti-oxLDL autoantibodies and metabolic changes to the lipid profile vary in proportion with anthropometric parameters, which makes anti-oxLDL concentration a potential biochemical indicator of risk of metabolic syndrome.

Quanto custa para as famílias de baixa renda obterem uma dieta saudável no Brasil

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o custo necessario para a obtencao de uma dieta saudavel no Brasil e analisar o comprometimento dessa pratica na renda familiar. Foram utilizados dados da Pesquisa de Orcamentos Familiares de 2008. Aquisicoes de alimentos foram coletadas durante sete dias em 55.970 domicilios.

Foram comparados os gastos atuais e ideais para os oito grupos. As obtencoes excederam as recomendacoes para feijoes, oleos/gorduras, doces, carnes/ovos e nao alcancaram as recomendacoes para frutas, hortalicas, lacteos e cereais. Atingir as recomendacoes aumentaria os gastos com a alimentacao em 58%, para individuos de renda/per capita de ≤ US

Data from the Brazilian Household Budget Survey for 2008 were used. Food purchases were recorded for seven days in 55,970 households. A subset of low-income families (≤ BRL 415.00 per capita/month and ≤ US

Each food groups share in total calories was estimated and compared to the recommendations. Actual purchases exceeded the recommendations for beans, oils/fats, sweets, and meat/eggs, and fell short for fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and grains. Meeting the recommendations would increase food expenditures by 58% among individuals with per capita income ≤ US
