• Abstract

  During obesity, there is an increase in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity. Thus, a greater RAS activation, and the consequent increased levels of peripheral angiotensin II (ANG II), can activate forebrain areas of the central nervous system (CNS) free of the blood brain barrier located in the lamina terminalis, and rich in ANG II receptors, such as the subfornical organ (SFO). W…

• Abstract

  Background There is scientific evidence suggesting that app-based interventions targeted to increase the level of physical activity might be effective, although multi-component interventions appear to be more effective than app-based interventions alone. Despite the motivating results, it remains unclear whether or not app-based interventions can increase the level of physical activity an…

• Abstract

  The aim of this study will be to analyze the prospective association between ultra-processed food consumption and depressive symptoms with emphasis in the co-occurrence with physical inactivity. This project will use data from the 1982 Pelotas birth cohort (n=5,914 during the baseline), using the 2004 and 2012 time points, when cohort participants were 22 and 30 years old respectively. Da…
