Resumo: Childhood obesity has become an increasingly common reality in the daily lives of Brazilian families. Far beyond a clinical condition, it is a complex phenomenon influenced by a range of factors, from genetics to habits developed within the family environment. An integrative literature review was conducted, including articles from the SciELO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Virtual Health Library databases, published in the last five years in Portuguese and English. The descriptors "child", "family", "childhood obesity", and "eating behavior" were used, combined with Boolean operators. The selected studies met thematic and methodological relevance criteria and were organized into thematic charts according to the research objectives. As a bibliographic study, ethical approval was not required, and all principles of scientific integrity were respected.
Studies indicate that children with a family history of obesity, those exposed to environments with limited access to healthy foods, or living in disorganized households with fragile emotional bonds, are at greater risk of developing obesity early in life. In addition, dietary choices made within the home, such as the early introduction of ultra-processed foods and the absence of structured meal routines, may contribute to the development of dysregulated eating behaviors.
The analysis of selected studies revealed that childhood obesity is a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by biological, behavioral, emotional, and contextual factors, including inadequate eating habits, obesogenic environments, family history of obesity, household disorganization, and lack of emotional bonds. Regarding treatment, family-centered interventions, with active participation of caregivers and respect for the family's sociocultural context, proved more effective in reducing children's BMI and promoting healthy lifestyle habits. It is concluded that strategies for preventing and addressing childhood obesity should prioritize intersectoral and educational actions, focusing on the family as a central agent in health promotion.

Resumo: Growing concerns about health and the environment have driven the search for diets with less dependence on animal proteins, historically associated with health risks and negative environmental impacts. In this context, plant-based diets emerge as a promising alternative, but despite this, they still face the challenge of low concentrations of certain amino acids in many plants, which reinforces the importance of identifying and promoting fossils capable of providing proteins with complete essential amino acid (EAA) profiles. This study aimed to deepen knowledge about how strategic strategies for plant-based foods can result in adequate nutritional proteins, simultaneously contributing to health and sustainability. An exploratory methodology was adopted, with a quantitative approach, using data from the Household Budget Survey (POF 2017-2018) to select plant-based foods commonly consumed in Brazil. The EAA profiles of cereals, legumes, and seeds were analyzed, based on the American Food Composition Table (FoodData Central – USDA). Based on these data, food engineering laboratories were developed with the objective of achieving 40% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDA) of EAAs. The results demonstrated that all five proposed proposals exceeded the 40% RDA target, indicating that the complementarity between cereals, legumes and seeds is capable of providing a complete protein profile. The application of these laboratories can directly contribute to reducing the risks of chronic non-communicable diseases, which are linked to high meat consumption, as well as reducing the environmental impact of food production. It is concluded that the supply of complete proteins from plant-based metals is viable and it is known that the search for alternative proteins can corroborate human and environmental health.

Resumo: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic condition characterized by
hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. Emerging
evidence highlights the role of the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)
such as butyrate, propionate, and acetate in regulating glycemic homeostasis and
managing T2DM. This study aimed to analyze, through an integrative literature review,
the impact of SCFA on glucose homeostasis. A systematic search was conducted in
the Scielo, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using controlled descriptors,
resulting in the inclusion of five clinical studies published between 2017 and 2025. The
findings indicate that high-fiber diets and prebiotic interventions promote beneficial
modulation of the gut microbiota, increase SCFA production, and contribute to
improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced GLP-1 secretion, and better beta-cell function.
Additionally, SCFA demonstrated the ability to reduce systemic inflammation, improve
intestinal barrier integrity, and positively influence the gut–brain axis. The magnitude
of metabolic effects varied according to fiber type, intervention duration, and individual
participant characteristics. In conclusion, SCFA show significant therapeutic potential
as mediators between diet, microbiota, and metabolic health; however, further
research is needed to personalize effective dietary strategies for T2DM management.

Resumo: Obesity is a multifactorial disease whose incidence and prevalence have been increasing worldwide. In this context, incretin mimetics have emerged as a therapeutic option due to their high efficacy in promoting weight loss. However, the substantial weight reduction induced by these agents has raised concerns about potential adverse effects on skeletal muscle mass, particularly in at-risk populations. With the growing prevalence of obesity and the frequent use of this class of drugs, it is essential to understand the implications of such treatment on skeletal muscle mass and to adopt strategies for its preservation. This study is an integrative literature review conducted using the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, with the following search terms: Obesity, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, Weight Loss, Body Composition, and Muscles, combined using the Boolean operator AND. Inclusion criteria consisted of articles published within the last five years, written in English, designed as literature reviews, focused on the adult population, and relevant to addressing the research question. The analyzed literature indicates that the use of incretin mimetics in the treatment of obesity and overweight is associated with a significant loss of lean body mass, which calls for specific interventions in physical activity and nutrition. Nevertheless, clinical trials are still required to investigate changes in body composition and the specific loss of skeletal muscle mass, in order to assess their clinical relevance.
