Par\u00e1 <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The eating habits of Brazilians in the country\u2019s industrialized regions are spreading into the interior of the Amazon and bringing their public health consequences in tow. In four towns on Maraj\u00f3 Island, a rural region on the northern coast of Par\u00e1, one out of three residents displays metabolic changes that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and early death. From 2012 to 2013, researchers S\u00e9rgio Fran\u00e7a, Sandra Lima, and Jos\u00e9 Ricardo Vieira, all of the Federal University of Par\u00e1 (UFPA), recorded the heights and weights of 787 adults from these towns and performed blood tests on them. Surpassing the national average of 29%, 34.1% of study participants developed metabolic syndrome, defined by the presence of three of these five clinical signs: high blood pressure; high fasting blood sugar; a waist circumference greater than 80 centimeters (cm) for women and 90 cm for men; low HDL cholesterol; and high triglycerides. The syndrome, which is associated with the overconsumption of processed food, appeared earlier in the women. In the 40-49 age group, 46% of women displayed the changes, while men only presented higher rates (43%) as of the 50-59 age bracket (<em>PLOS ONE<\/em>, December 9, 2016).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eating habits from industrialized regions are spreading through Brazil","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[251,260],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-241166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-nutrition","tag-public-health"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241166\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241166"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=241166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
