    In Chile, the prevalence of overweight among schoolchildren over the age of 5 is approximately 50%, one of the highest in the Americas region. This is largely influenced by the presence of inadequate food environments, characterized by limited access to healthy foods and a high availability of highly processed foods (HPF). This study analyzes food consumption in Chilean schoolchildren and the association of this with the Chilean Dietary Guidelines Based on Foods (DGBF) and the HPF consumption.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec id="sec002"> <jats:title>Material and methods</jats:title> <jats:p>The sample (1,094 schoolchildren) was obtained from the baseline of the FONDEF IT18I0016 project, in Santiago-Chile. Anthropometry and socioeconomic data were measured. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated semi-quantitative frequency survey featuring images of food groups aligned with DGBF, as well as HPF. All data were collected by trained professional nutritionists. Associations between dependent and independent variables, and potential confounding factors were calculated using logistic regression models with stepwise backward/forward. A p &lt; 0.05 was accepted as significant, using Stata 16.0. <jats:p>Most of the students (54.1%) were with malnutrition by excess and 20.0% exhibited abdominal obesity. Twenty percent of the students met the recommended intake for DGBF (fruits, vegetables, fish, milk and dairy products, legumes, water) and less than 5% did not consume any HPF. Consuming some sub-groups of HPF in moderate quantities (either no consumption or occasional consumption) increases the likelihood of meeting DGBF: candies and sweets (OR: 0.72; p = 0.04), pies with or without filling (OR: 0.63; p = 0.01), and salted snacks (OR: 0.67; p = 0.02).</jats:p> Conclusion Our results contribute to reaffirm the need to enhance healthy food consumption among schoolchildren and to discourage the intake of HPF, particularly focusing on specific sub-groups of HPF that may increase the risk of displacing the consumption of food groups recommended by the DGBF.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>Objetivo:Identificar la asociación y relación entre las variables de fuerza máxima, potencia muscular, medidas antropométricas y composición corporal con el lanzamiento del balón de Goalball. Método: Nueve jugadores varones de Goalball, pertenecientes a dos equipos amateur de la región del Biobío. Se registraron medidas antropométricas de Longitud de Miembros Superiores (CMS) y Envergadura (ENV), Porcentaje de Grasa Corporal (%GC), test físicos correspondientes a una repetición máxima (1RMe) en press banca, Test de lanzamiento de balón medicinal (AMB) para relacionar las variables con el test de lanzamiento (TLAN) en Goalball. Resultados: Los principales resultados observados fueron correlaciones muy altas, inversamente proporcionales y estadísticamente significativas entre TLAN y 1RMe (r= -.80, p= .008), entre ENV y 1RMe (r= -.74, p= .021), CMS y 1RMe (r= -.72, p= .027) y correlaciones muy altas y significativas entre AMB y 1RMe (r= .89, p= .001). Conclusión: En relación a los datos obtenidos en el presente estudio, existe una correlación muy alta y significativa entre fuerza máxima estimada y menores tiempos en el lanzamiento del Goalball, lo que refleja que la fuerza es una cualidad determinante en la acción ofensiva, no así las medidas antropométricas, ya que no influyeron en la eficiencia del lanzamiento.Abstract. Objective: To identify the association and relationship between the variables of maximum strength, muscle power, anthropometric measurements, and body composition with Goalball ball throwing. Method: Nine male Goalball players belonging to two amateur teams from the Biobío region. Anthropometric measures of Length of Upper Members (CMS) and Wingspan (ENV), Body Fat Percentage (% GC), and physical tests corresponding to one maximum repetition (1RMe) in bench press and medical ball throw Test (AMB) were recorded in order to relate the variables with the throwing test (TLAN) in Goalball. Results: Very high inversely proportional and statistically significant correlations between TLAN and 1RMe (r = -.80, p = .008), between VNS and 1RMe (r = -.74, p= .021), and between CMS and 1RMe (r = -.72, p= .027) were observed, as well as very high and significant correlations between AMB and 1RMe (r = .89, p= .001). Conclusion: In relation to the data obtained in the present study, there is a very high and significant correlation between estimated maximum strength and shorter times in the launch of the Goalball, which shows that strength is a determining quality in offensive actions, whereas anthropometric measures are not, since they did not influence throwing efficiency.</jats:p>

    <jats:p> Dementia in Latin America is a crucial public health problem. Identifying brief cognitive screening (BCS) tools for the primary care setting is crucial, particularly for illiterate individuals. We evaluated tool performance characteristics and validated the free and total recall sections of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test-Picture version (FCSRT-Picture) to discriminate between 63 patients with early Alzheimer’s disease dementia (ADD), 60 amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and 64 cognitively healthy Peruvian individuals with illiteracy from an urban area. Clinical, functional, and cognitive assessments were performed. FCSRT-Picture performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. The mean ± standard deviation scores were 7.7 ± 1.0 in ADD, 11.8 ± 1.6 in aMCI, and 29.5 ± 1.8 in controls. The FCSRT-Picture had better performance characteristics for distinguishing controls from aMCI compared with several other BCS tools, but similar characteristics between controls and early ADD. The FCSRT-Picture is a reliable BCS tool for illiteracy in Peru. </jats:p>

    <jats:p>Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. A good quality breakfast must include dairy products, cereals, and fruits. The aim of this study is to determine breakfast dietary patterns and their nutritional quality among Chilean university students. A cross-sectional non-probabilistic study was conducted in 200 university students between 18 and 27 years in Santiago, Chile. To identify dietary patterns and breakfast quality, a breakfast food survey was conducted. Patterns were identified by factor analysis. Most of the subjects (53%) ate breakfast daily, with a higher prevalence among females (60.2% vs. 43.7%, p &lt; 0.05); 68% did not consume fruits and 17.5% had good breakfast quality, with no differences by sex. Four breakfast dietary patterns were identified: “dairy &amp; cereals”, “healthy”, “traditional salty” and “traditional sweet” that together explained 35.6% of the total variance. There was no sex difference in predominant dietary patterns. The “dairy &amp; cereals” and “traditional sweet” patterns were associated with regularly eating breakfast (β: −0.47, p = 0.001; β: −0.32, p = 0.020) and the “healthy” pattern with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (β: 0.35, p = 0.024). In conclusion, breakfast quality was inadequate due to low fruit consumption and energy intake. The four identified patterns included cereals, bread, dairy, fats and sugars. Results may be usual in the planning of future interventions aimed at improving breakfast consumption and quality in university students.</jats:p>
