RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) is a tool that was initially developed to predict the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This tool is simple, quick to apply, non-invasive, and low-cost. The aims of this study were to perform a translation and cultural adaptation of the original version of FINDRISC into Brazilian Portuguese and to assess test-retest reliability. METHODOLOGY: This work was done following the ISPOR Principles of Good Practice for the Translation and Cultural Adaptation Process for Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures. Once the final Brazilian Portuguese version (FINDRISC-Br) was developed, the reliability assessment was performed using a non-random sample of 83 individuals attending a primary care health center. Each participant was interviewed by trained registered dieticians on two occasions with a mean interval of 14 days. The reliability assessment was performed by analyzing the level of agreement between the test-retest responses of FINDRISC-Br using Cohen's kappa coefficient and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: The steps of ISPOR guidelines were consecutively followed without major problems. Regarding the reliability assessment, the questionnaire as a whole presented adequate reliability (Cohen's kappa = 0.82, 95%CI 0.72 - 0.92 and ICC = 0.94, 95%CI 0.91 - 0.96). CONCLUSION: FINDRISC was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapted following standard procedures. FINDRISC-Br has thus become available for use and has potential as a screening tool in different Brazilian settings and applications.

RESUMO: Introdução: O Escore Finlandês de Risco de Diabetes (FINDRISC) é um instrumento que inicialmente foi desenvolvido para predizer o risco de desenvolver diabetes mellitus tipo 2 em adultos. Esse instrumento é simples, rápido de aplicar, não invasivo e de baixo custo. Os objetivos deste estudo foram descrever o processo de tradução e adaptação transcultural do FINDRISC para o português do Brasil e avaliar a sua confiabilidade teste-reteste. Metodologia: O projeto foi conduzido de acordo com as recomendações dos Princípios de Boas Práticas para o Processo de Tradução e Adaptação Transcultural de Medidas de Resultados Relatados pelo Paciente desenvolvidas pela ISPOR. Uma vez desenvolvida a versão final em português brasileiro (FINDRISC-Br), realizou-se a avaliação da confiabilidade usando uma amostra não aleatória de 83 indivíduos atendidos em uma unidade de atenção básica. Cada participante foi entrevistado por nutricionistas registradas treinadas em duas ocasiões com intervalo médio de 14 dias. A avaliação da confiabilidade foi realizada por meio da análise do nível de concordância entre as respostas do teste-reteste, utilizando-se o coeficiente kappa de Cohen e o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI). Resultados: As etapas das diretrizes da ISPOR foram seguidas consecutivamente sem maiores problemas. Em relação à avaliação da confiabilidade do teste-reteste, o questionário como um todo apresentou confiabilidade adequada (kappa de Cohen = 0,82; IC95% 0,72 - 0,92 e CCI = 0,94; IC95% 0,91 - 0,96). Conclusão: O FINDRISC foi traduzido e adaptado transculturalmente para o português do Brasil seguindo procedimentos padronizados. O FINDRISC-Br já está disponível para uso e tem potencial para ser usado como ferramenta de rastreamento em diferentes cenários brasileiros.

Aims: The present study aimed to assess the effect of a 24-week intervention on the physical activity level among adults at risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Methods: It was included 129 individuals of both sexes who underwent the Preventive Health Check-up at the Albert Einstein Israelita Hospital between January and August 2010 and who were at high and very high risk of developing DM2. The risk of developing DM2 was assessed according to the FINDRISC criteria. All participants were evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questioner (IPAQ). Subjects were followed-up for 24 weeks by a physical education professional through emails during a 6 month period. The IPAQ was sent by email after 3 and 6 months of follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test with p<0.05 and the Yule Coefficient test. Results: At baseline of the follow-up period, 80.3% of individuals failed to comply with the recommended weekly physical activity. In the end, motivational intervention by e-mail encouraged 74.2% of individuals to comply with the weekly-recommended physical activity and only 1.5% were classified as sedentary. Conclusion: Therefore, the follow-up protocol conducted by periodic and personalized e-mails proved to be effective in promoting physical activity among people at risk of developing metabolic diseases.(AU)

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of physical activity on the prevalence of fatty liver, metabolic and cardiovascular disease in adult men. METHODS: This study evaluated 1,399 men (40.7±8.18 years) with body mass index of 26.7kg/m2 (±3.4) who participated in the Protocol of Preventive Health Check-up at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein from January to October 2011. We conducted tests of serum blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, reactive c-protein, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. The statistical analysis comprised in the comparison of mean and standard deviation. The analysis of variance was based in two paths of two way ANOVA, Student's t-test, Mann Whitney U test, Wald test and χ2. We considered a significance level at p<0.05 and correlation of univariate Poison with 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Fatty liver was diagnosed in 37.0% of the sample. Triglyceride levels of active men with fatty liver were 148.2±77.6mg/dL while inactive men with fatty liver had 173.4±15.6mg/dL. The remaining serum levels were normal. Inactive individuals showed higher values than active. In addition, inactive individuals have 10.68 times higher risk of developing fatty liver compared with active. CONCLUSION: Physical activity improves metabolic parameters such as triglycerides, weight control, HDL, which interfere in the development of fatty liver. Physically active individuals had lower fatty liver prevalence regardless of values of body composition and lipid profile, leading the conclusion that physical activity has a protective role against development of fatty liver.

Objetivo Determinar o impacto do nível de atividade física na prevalência de esteatose hepática, perfil metabólico e comportamento cardiovascular em homens adultos. Métodos Foram avaliados 1.399 homens (40,7±8,18 anos) com índice massa corporal de 26,7kg/m2 (±3,4) pelo protocolo da Revisão Continuada de Saúde do Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein entre janeiro a outubro de 2011. Foram realizadas análise séricas de glicose sanguínea, colesterol total e séries, triglicerídeos, PCR, ALT, AST e Gama GT. A análise estatística utilizada consistiu na comparação de média e desvio padrão. A análise de variância de dois caminhos ANOVA two way, teste t de Student, teste U Mann Whitney, teste de Wald e teste χ2, sendo o nível de significância p<0,05 e correlação univariada de Poison, com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Resultados Os resultados demonstraram que 37,0% da amostra apresentou diagnóstico de esteatose hepática. Homens ativos com esteatose hepática apresentaram níveis de triglicerídeos de 148,2±77,6mg/dL enquanto os inativos com esteatose hepática apresentaram 173,4±15,6mg/dL. Os demais níveis séricos apresentaram-se dentro dos padrões considerados saudáveis, porém os inativos apresentaram todos os valores superiores, em relação aos ativos. Apontou-se que indivíduos inativos apresentam 10,68 vezes maior risco em desenvolver esteatose hepática em relação aos ativos. Conclusão A atividade física melhora os indicadores metabólicos, como triglicérides, controle de peso, HDL, que interferem no desenvolvimento de esteatose hepática, mostrando que indivíduos fisicamente ativos apresentaram menor prevalência de esteatose hepática independentemente dos valores de composição corporal e perfil lipídico, concluindo que a atividade física apresenta papel protetor no desenvolvimento de esteatose hepática. .

Objectives To evaluate the PSA in a large population of Brazilian men undergone to check up, and correlate the PSA cutoffs with prostate size and urinary symptoms. Materials and Methods This is a cross sectional study performed with men between 40 and 70 years undergone to check-up. All men were undergone to urological evaluation, digital rectal examination, prostate-specific antigen, and ultrasonography The exclusion criteria were men who used testosterone in the last six months, or who were using 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors. Results A total of 5015 men with an average age of 49.0 years completed the study. Most men were white and asymptomatic. The PSA in the three different aging groups were 0.9 ± 0.7ng/dL for men between 40 and 50; 1.2 ± 0.5ng/dL for men between 50 and 60; and 1.7 ± 1.5ng/dL for men greater than 60 years (p=0.001). A total of 192 men had PSA between 2.5 and 4ng/ml. From these men 130 were undergone to prostate biopsy. The predictive positive value of biopsy was 25% (32/130). In the same way, 100 patients had PSA >4ng/mL. From these men, 80 were undergone to prostate biopsy. In this group, the predictive positive value of biopsy was 40% (32/100). The Gleason score was 6 in 19 men (60%), 7 in 10 men (31%) and 8 in 3 men (9%). Conclusions The PSA level of Brazilian men undergone to check up was low. There was a positive correlation with aging, IPSS and prostate size. .

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the uroflowmetry data in a large population of asymptomatic Brazilian men submitted to a health check up program and their correlation to IPSS and prostate size. Materials and Methods Asymptomatic men underwent a health check-up program between January and December 2012. The inclusion criteria were men between 40 and 70 years, IPSS ≤ 7, without bladder, prostate, urethral surgery, neurological diseases, urinary tract infection, PSA < 4.0 ng/dL and urinary volume higher than 150 mL. Urological assessment consisted of clinical history, IPSS, digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate specific antigen (PSA), urinalysis, ultrasonography and uroflowmetry. Results A total of 1041 asymptomatic men were included in this study. The average age was 49 years and average maximum flow rate was 17.4 mL/s. In spite of IPSS and prostate size increase with aging, they had a weak correlation with Qmax cutoffs (10 mL/s and 15 mL/s). A total of 85 men (8.3%) had more than 60 years, and even in this group, Qmax was higher than 15 mL/s. Out of 1041 men, 117 had IPSS less than 8 and Qmax less than 10 mL/s. Conclusions In asymptomatic men there is a weak correlation between IPSS, prostate size and uroflowmetric data. The establishment of different normal cutoffs seems to be complicated and uroflowmetry data should be interpreted with caution in order to avoid misdiagnosis. .
