Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Medicina (FM) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Medicine at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo (1988) and Ph.D. in Medicine (Internal Medicine) at the University of São Paulo (1993). He is currently a Full Professor of Geriatric Medicine at the Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, University of São Paulo. Has experience in Medicine, with an emphasis on Geriatrics, acting on the following topics: aging, geriatrics, epidemiology and nutrition (body composition, energy and protein metabolism, through the use of stable isotopes and mass spectrometry), frailty syndrome, sarcopenia and intrinsic capacity. He is coordinator of NAPENV - Research Center on Aging and the Aged of the University of São Paulo and coordinator of the research line "Intrinsic Capacity, Frailty and Sarcopenia in Aging" of the Medical Research Laboratory on Aging (LIM-66) at the Clinics Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine - USP. Coordinator of the National Institute of Science and Technology for the Use of Stable Isotopes in Food Security Studies and the Eradication of Hunger. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The use of stable isotopes as metabolic tracers constitutes a powerful tool for the study of food security and actions to combat hunger. Stable isotopes do not emit radiation; they do not pose risks to human health, and can be used in vulnerable populations such as newborns, children, adults with different clinical conditions, pregnant women, and the elderly. Thus, the enrichment of water…

The Brazilian population is aging rapidly, which poses huge challenges for health care and social well-being. A core research team at USP consisting of experts in geriatrics, gerontology, geographic mapping, information technology (IT), and urban planning propose to create a multi-use, interactive map of aging as a tool for policymakers, governmental officials, city planners, health and s…
The quality of protein ingested plays an important role in nutritional needs throughout life, especially in developing countries and in particular during pregnancy, early childhood, and aging. Uncertainty about diet quality, specifically with reference to protein quality, has potential impacts on a nation's health, economy, agriculture, and food security. Estimates of protein digestibilit…

The population of Latin America (LA) is aging more rapidly than population of developed countries. The practice of physical activity stands out among the factors related to longevity of older people. Total energy expenditure in free living conditions, regardless of specific activities, has been strongly associated with low risk of mortality in healthy older people. Furthermore, good perfo…
The global population is increasingly aging, and countries such as Japan, China, representatives from North America and Europe, for example, already live with the difficulties associated with the fact of getting older. In 2025, Brazil will be the 6th country in the world in the number of people aged 60 or more and therefore also live with the limitations developed by age. Aging involves c…
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative flagellated bacterium that colonizes especially the gastric mucosa, can lead to some complications as chronic gastritis and peptic and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer. The diagnosis of infection by this bacteria may be done by invasive and non-invasive methods. Among the non-invasive, there is the urea breath test, which has been considered the prefe…
