Special Award - Ganepão 45 years

In this video, Dr. Ana Paula Fayh talks to nutritionist Jarson Costa, from the Federal University of Pernambuco, winner of two awards at Ganepão 2025. Jarson shares the main results of his award-winning work, which highlights the importance of arm circumference as a practical and effective marker of muscle health, especially in clinical contexts with limited resources. He explains how the proposed cut-off points and adjustments to BMI can improve the assessment of muscle mass, facilitating a more accurate nutritional diagnosis and, consequently, more appropriate nutritional therapy. Ana Paula emphasizes the importance of these advances for professional practice and for the quality of patient care.
