    (MDPI, 2021-07) Sousa, Mateus Santana; Teixeira, Camila Silveira Silva; Souza, Jamacy Costa; Costa, Priscila Ribas de Farias; Zandonadi, Renata Puppin; Botelho, Raquel Braz Assunção; Han, Heesup; Raposo, António; Ariza Montes, Antonio; Araya Castillo, Luis; de Almeida Akutsu, Rita de Cássia Coelho
    This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of community restaurants (CRs), managed by the Government of the State of Bahia/Brazil, for the dimension of access to food. The study used secondary data obtained from the public opinion survey Profile of users of community restaurants in Salvador. The nutritional information was accessed through the analysis of CRs’ menus. Adequate effectiveness of access to food was considered when the CR served meals to 50% to 70% of the users considered the target audience (individuals served by the two CRs located in the city of Salvador/Bahia/Brazil). The participants (n = 1464; 778 as low-income individuals) were adult CR users from Salvador/Brazil. Most of the respondents were male, 40 to 54 years old, not white, had up to 9 years of formal education, without a partner, and living in the municipality of Salvador. The evaluated CRs are effective in serving 53.1% of the target population in their total service capacity. Meal provision only reached an estimated 0.7% of the socially vulnerable community in the district. The average energy value of the meal served by the CR units was 853.05 kcal/meal, with a mean energy density composition classified as average (1.15 kcal/g). The effectiveness of the evaluated community restaurants showed that these instruments were minimally effective in promoting access to food for the low-income population within their total daily service capacity, and the current quantity of these facilities was insufficient. However, these instruments stand out in the fundamental role of promoting the daily distribution of meals to the Brazilian population with the highest social vulnerability levels. © 2021 by the authors.

    Food Neophobia among Brazilian Children: Prevalence and Questionnaire Score Development
    (MDPI, 2022-01-02) de Almeida, Priscila Claudino; Vasconcelos, Ivana Aragão Lira; Zandonadi, Renata Puppin; Nakano, Eduardo Yoshio; Raposo, António; Han, Heesup; Araya-Castillo, Luis; Ariza-Montes, Antonio; Botelho, Raquel Braz Assunção
    This study aims to create and validate a score to classify food neophobia among Brazilian children (from the ages of 4 to 11 years) and investigate the prevalence of food neophobia. This descriptive cross-sectional population-based study is conducted following three steps: (i) the application of an instrument to identify food neophobia in Brazilian children by their caregivers; (ii) the instrument’s score definition; and (iii) the evaluation and characterization of the national prevalence of food neophobia among Brazilian children. The scores were categorized into three levels, based on the tertial approximation: low, moderate, and high. The study had 1112 participants, and the prevalence of high food neophobia was observed in 33.4% of Brazilian children. The prevalence of food neophobia allowed us to identify this behavior in Brazilian children and better understand the population. Boys were significantly more neophobic than girls. The general neophobia score and domains did not significantly differ between Brazilian regions and age groups. It is worrying that food neophobia did not decrease with advancing age. The score for the complete instrument with 25 items, or the 3 domains, makes its use practical. It can be used to assess neophobia with more caution, evaluate the most neophobic children, and enable more targeted professional interventions to promote healthier and sustainable eating habits. © 2022 by the authors.

    Well-being at work: A cross-sectional study on the portuguese nutritionists
    (MDPI, 2021-08-01) Akutsu, Rita de Cássia; Rocha, Ada; Viana, Victor; Akutsu, Luiz; Silva, Izabel Cristina; Botelho, Raquel Braz Assunção; Han, Heesup; Raposo, António; Ariza-Montes, Antonio; Araya-Castillo, Luis; Zandonadi, Renata Puppin
    This exploratory, nationwide cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the well-being of Portuguese nutritionists, in addition to outlining their professional and demographic pro-file. Descriptive analyses were carried out to determine the measures relating to centralising ten-dency and dispersion of the sample. We compared means and proportions through t-tests and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The sample size was 206 individuals, respecting a minimum of eight respondents per item to validate the instrument. We recruited Nutritionists from Portugal nationwide using the list of electronic mail provided by the Order of Nutritionists. We sent an electronic mail to all the Nutritionists registered in this Order. We also used messaging applications and social networks (Instagram, Facebook) to reach Nutritionists who were not accessing electronic mail. Most respondents are women (92.5%), young (mean age = 31.4 ± 8.07 years; 54.2% of participants aging under 30 years), single, and with no children. More than half are Catholic (73.8%) and have less than ten years of nutritionist undergraduate completion (55.4%). The only variable that influences well-being at work is the economic variable Household Monthly Income. Those who earn less than € 500.00 per month perceive themselves at a lesser state of work well-being than those who earn from € 2501.00 to € 5000.00 per month. © 2021 by the authors.
