This study aims to investigate associations between diet, physical activity, low-grade systemic inflammation (LGSI) and biomarkers of aging in persons with different aging phenotypes: (a) persons living with HIV in use of antiretroviral therapy; (b) persons with mental disorders in use of specific medicines. Two independent studies will be performed, including: (a) persons registered at a…

Common Mental Disorders (CMD) and changes in lipid profile in older adults are conditions that may be due to biological changes inherent to aging and that seem to be related to each other. The protective effect that healthy dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP), can perform on mental health outcomes and lipid profile of the elderly is well described in the lite…
The associations between diet and sleep quality in people living with HIV (PLWH) are still underexplored. This project aims to explore the hypothesis that dietary inflammatory potential can be positively or negatively associated with the sleep quality in these persons. As such, 50 PLWH, men, with body mass index within the normality interval, will be studied. The participants will be dist…
Introduction: Recent studies have shown the central role of the gut in modulating systemic low-grade inflammation and possible consequences in free fat mass (FFM). Aims: To evaluate the effect of glutamine supplementation on body composition and inflammatory markers in elderly patients with some risk of frailty. Methods: A randomized double-blind study. Community-dwelling elderly will be …
A discrete early monitoring system of the nutritional status of the elderly is underdevelopment in our laboratory aiming to preserve quality of life and independence. In the general population obesity or underweight status is commonly assessed by body weight or weight to height measurements. Monitoring the elderly is more complicated. Changes in body composition due to energy imbalance or…
