Anorexia Nervosa01:28

Anorexia Nervosa

188
Anorexia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, an unrelenting pursuit of thinness, and a distorted body image. It often leads to dangerously low body weight relative to an individual's age and height. This disorder is marked by significant physical and psychological consequences, making it one of the most life-threatening psychiatric illnesses.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

91.4K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Obesity01:24

Obesity

612
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Two-Way ANOVA01:17

Two-Way ANOVA

2.8K
The two-way ANOVA is an extension of the one-way ANOVA. It is a statistical test performed on three or more samples categorized by two factors - a row factor and a column factor. Ronald Fischer mentioned it in 1925 in his book 'Statistical Methods for Researchers.'
The two-way ANOVA analysis initially begins by stating the null hypothesis that there is an interaction effect between the two factors of a dataset. This effect can be visualized using line segments formed by joining the...

Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

370
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health and Nutrition
  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Systematic Review Methodology

Background:

  • The association between Food Insecurity (FI) and health conditions like obesity is established.
  • The intersection of FI with social vulnerabilities, including gender and race, requires further investigation.
  • This study focuses on the Brazilian population, examining the interplay of FI, overweight, gender, and race.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the existing literature on the relationship between Food Insecurity and overweight in Brazil.
  • To analyze how the intersectionality of gender and race/color influences the association between FI and overweight.
  • To synthesize current knowledge and identify gaps for future research and policy development.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Searched four electronic databases for observational studies published between 2003 and 2023 in Brazil.
  • Included studies assessing nutritional status and FI using the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA); data screening by four independent researchers.

Main Results:

  • Out of 568 initially identified articles, 22 were included in the review.
  • 45% (10 studies) reported a statistically significant association between FI and overweight.
  • Five studies indicated an association with gender, and four studies showed associations with both gender and race/color.

Conclusions:

  • Black women with low income, limited education, and lacking social protection exhibit high vulnerability to overweight and comorbidities.
  • Urgent need for inclusive strategies addressing physical, social, historical, and cultural factors in obesity among women and the Black population.
  • Findings emphasize the necessity for deeper theoretical understanding to formulate more effective and equitable public health policies.
