Publication Effects of school closure on lifestyle behaviours and health outcomes in children during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile: A time-matched analysis(2024) Suárez, Mónica; Fernández-Verdejo, Rodrigo; Quintiliano Scarpelli Dourado, Daiana; Pinheiro Fernandes, Anna Christina; Pizarro Quevedo, TitoBackground :The COVID-19 pandemic led to school closures, potentially impairing children's behaviours and health. We aimed to explore the effects of school closure on lifestyle behaviours (dietary habits, physical activity) and health outcomes (adiposity, fitness, self-esteem, self-concept) in children. Methods : We measured 247 children before school closure (October–November 2019) and after school reopening (October–November 2021) (COVID-19 group). To distinguish the changes due to school closure from changes due to growth, we included 655 age-matched children with cross-sectional measurements in October–November 2019 (control group). The response of this group (i.e., differences between children with 2 years of difference) was considered the expected response to growth. Two-way ANOVA was used to test age-by-group interactions, indicating an effect of school closure. Results: In 7-to-9-year-old children, the COVID-19 group had larger-than-expected decreases in physical activity (by 0.4 points), resulting in higher physical inactivity prevalence (by 19 percent points) at 9 years. This was accompanied by larger-than-expected increases in fat percentage (by 6.1 percent point). In 8-to-10-year-old children, the COVID-19 group had higher physical inactivity prevalence at 10 years (by 20 percent points). This was accompanied by larger-than-expected increases in fat percentage (by 8.3 percent points), z-score BMI (by 0.90 units), and waist circumference (by 6.1 cm). In 9-to-11-year-old children, the COVID-19 group had larger-than-expected decreases in physical activity (by 0.3 points) and increases in self-concept (by 0.2 points). The response in dietary habits, fitness, or self-esteem was not different between groups. Conclusion: Overall, school closure negatively impacted physical activity and adiposity, particularly in the youngest children.Publication Photobiomodulation therapy to prevent oral mucositis and functional impairment in adult patients with haematological cancer undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation: randomised trial protocol(2024) López-Espinoza, Tomas; Sacomori, Cinara; Araya- Castro, Paulina; Quintiliano Scarpelli Dourado, Daiana; Roldán, Paola; Peña- Espinoza, Mónica; Ferreira de Rezende, Laura; López- Vidal, HernánIntroduction Oral mucositis is a highly prevalent condition in individuals treated for haematological neoplasms, primarily during haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The condition is known to delay recovery processes, increasing the risk of infection, the number of interventions and the length of hospital stays. The proposed Photobiomodulation Therapy for Oral Mucositis and Functional Impairment Transplantation Trial aims to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of using photobiomodulation in the oral cavity to prevent oral mucositis and functional impairment in adult patients undergoing HSCT. Methods and analysis This is an assessor- blinded and statistician- blinded, parallel- group randomised controlled clinical trial (photobiomodulation vs control group). Participants and setting: 30 patients, aged 18–65 years, with haematological neoplasms undergoing HSCT at the Clínica Dávila Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. Primary outcome measures: oral mucositis will be assessed daily using the WHO grading scale, beginning on the day of transplant through day 20 post- transplant. Researchers will assess functional capacity using a 2 min step test, handgrip strength with the Jamar digital dynamometer, lower limb strength using a 30’ sit- to- stand test and quality of life with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Bone Marrow Transplantation Questionnaire. Acceptability will be assessed by logging treatment adherence and using a Visual Analogue Scale. Assessments will occur at two time points (1): on admission to the transplant unit, before starting the conditioning regimen and (2) on the day of discharge. Intervention: three times per week photobiomodulation therapy using a diode laser device will begin the first day of conditioning and continue through day 3 post-transplant. Ethics and dissemination The Clínica Dávila and Universidad del Desarrollo Clinical Research Ethics Committees approved this study in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Patients’ informed consent will be required. The dissemination strategy includes publication in scientific journals as well as presentations in the media and at conferences.Publication Effects of school closure on lifestyle behaviours and health outcomes in children during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile: A time-matched analysis(2024) Suárez, Mónica; Fernández, Rodrigo; Quintiliano Scarpelli Dourado, Daiana; Pinheiro Fernandes, Anna Christina; Pizarro, TitoBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic led to school closures, potentially impairing children's behaviours and health.

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. Material and methods 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 < 0.05 was accepted as significant, using Stata 16.0. Results 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).
