Evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of independently or combined dietary and physical activity programs on the blood glucose values and lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes, including participants aged 60 years and over. Systematic review. PubMed/Medline database, with language restrictions. Papers published between 2010 and 2016 were included. A total of 30 randomised controlled trials were included that focused on physical activity and dietary interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and include participants aged 60 years and over. The selected articles have shown that the implementation of physical activity programs (aerobic, resistance, flexibility and combined exercises), and programs based on a higher intake of vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits, unsaturated fatty acids, as well as consumption of foods with low glycaemic index, calorie restriction, intake of probiotics, vitamin D supplementation and educational sessions about diabetes improves blood glucose levels, as well as the lipid profile, in patients with type 2 diabetes. Physical activity and dietary programs are fundamental in the treatment and metabolic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

A ferramenta de trabalho de um atleta é o seu próprio corpo, sendo essencial um aporte de nutrientes adequado, de forma a melhorar o rendimento e recuperação do exercício. Neste contexto, muitos atletas consomem suplementos alimentares, apesar da eficácia da maioria deles não estar comprovada. Este estudo teve como objetivos principais determinar a prevalência e o tipo de suplementos alimentares consumidos pelos atletas e estudar a sua relação com a massa gorda/magra. Estudo quantitativo, transversal e analítico. A amostra era constituída por 72 futebolistas pertencentes a dois Clubes de Futebol, com uma média de idades de 21.44 ± 4.12 anos. Foi aplicado um questionário que incluia dados sociodemográficos, questões da prática desportiva, do estilo de vida e do consumo de suplementos alimentares. Foi ainda realizada uma avaliação da composição corporal a todos os atletas. Cerca de 91.7% dos atletas referiu tomar um ou mais suplementos alimentares (média de 4.71±3.04 suplementos/atleta) sendo as proteínas (84.8%), multivitamínico/minerais (72.7%) e o ómega-3 (50%) os suplementos mais reportados. Verificou-se que o consumo, e o total de suplementos consumidos não varia entre o género (p-value = 0.333 e 0.686 respetivamente). Relativamente ao tipo de suplementos consumidos, as proteínas (p-value = 0.040), ómega-3 (p-value = 0.040) e outros (p-value = 0.000), foram os suplementos que apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas segundo o género. Encontraram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre a massa gorda dos atletas e: creatina (p-value = 0.003), magnésio (p-value = 0.033) e outros (p-value = 0.001). Relativamente à massa magra e o tipo de suplementos, registaram-se diferenças significativas nos géis desportivos (p-value = 0.048), ómega-3 (p-value = 0.017), glutamina (p-value = 0.005), L-Carnitina (p-value = 0.019) e outros (p-value = 0.000). Considerando a elevada prevalência de consumo de suplementos alimentares entre os atletas futebolistas é necessário reforçar o acesso dos atletas à educação nutricional, onde se deverá enfatizar que uma alimentação equilibrada minimiza ou elimina a necessidade de suplementos.

Introduction: The Mediterranean Diet is known for its protective effects against cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Metabolic syndrome, characterized by multiple health risk factors, is increasingly concerning in older populations. Understanding dietary impacts on metabolic health is key for promoting healthy ageing. Objectives: This feasibility study aimed to explore the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and metabolic risk factors in older adults participating in a community exercise program and to evaluate the feasibility of applying validated tools in this setting. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet was evaluated using the PREDIMED questionnaire, while Metabolic Syndrome was evaluated according to National Cholesterol Education Program criteria. Blood samples were taken following WHO guidelines. Results: Ten participants (mean age 73.1 years; 90% women) were included. 50% showed high adherence to the Mediterranean Diet, while 40% had moderate or low adherence. No participants met the full criteria for Metabolic Syndrome. Significant associations were found between Mediterranean Diet adherence and chronic disease (r = 0.869, p < 0.01), and an inverse correlation with the number of Metabolic Syndrome criteria (r = –0.707, p < 0.05). The Mediterranean Diet score was also inversely related to cholesterol (r = –0.740, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Higher adherence to the Mediterranean Diet was associated with better metabolic profiles, highlighting its potential protective role. The study demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating nutritional screening in community exercise programs for older adults. Future research should include larger and longitudinal samples and integrate inflammatory biomarkers.

Introduction: Ageism, characterised by discriminatory attitudes towards older individuals based on negative stereotypes, is present in various aspects of society, including workplaces, public spaces, and healthcare settings, influencing the psychological well-being of the ones affected. Particularly in the workplace, ageism poses significant challenges for older workers, affecting their productivity and job satisfaction. As the workforce continues to age globally, it’s becoming increasingly important to address the consequences of ageism on psychological health. Methods: A scoping review to map the evidence concerning the impact of ageism on the psychological state and well-being of older workers. Following the JBI methodological recommendations, search was realized from March to April 2024, using PubMed, MedLine and CINAHL databases as well as grey literature to identify relevant articles. Studies in which the participants were older adults, focusing on the influence of aging on psychological well-being within occupational contexts. Were included studies published in English, Spanish and Portuguese developed in the last 10 years. From 38 citations initially retrieved, 8 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: Articles highlight prevailing stereotypes that influence treatment in the workplace, resulting in discriminatory practices and behaviour towards older workers. Workplace ageism has significant psychological consequences, leading to negative perceptions of aging and increasing aging anxiety among older workers and harmful health behaviours, stress, depressive symptoms, and long-term illness affecting job satisfaction and retirement intentions. Conclusion: Addressing ageism in occupational settings is crucial to promote well-being and productivity of older workers and create inclusive work environments favourable to successful aging.
