Full textEsta pesquisa aborda a rela??o entre o corpo e a est?tica, compreendida como padr?o corporal, com o objetivo de analisar o corpo masculino na Revista Men?s Health. A Revista em pauta ? uma publica??o mensal da Editora Abril, estando presente em mais de 43 pa?ses. A metodologia utilizada ? a an?lise de conte?do como proposta por Bardin (1979), visando identificar sentidos sobre o corpo masculino divulgado nessa m?dia, especificamente na se??o Fitness. O corpus de an?lise foi composto por 12 edi??es da revista, veiculadas de janeiro a dezembro do ano 2011. Elaboramos fichas de identifica??o para todas as mat?rias contidas no sum?rio da Se??o Fitness e, em seguida, fizemos os perfis das mat?rias construindo cinco categorias tem?ticas: Apar?ncia, Investimentos no corpo, Individualismo, Consumo, Bem-estar. A Men?s Health, atrav?s de suas imagens e discursos, apresenta v?rios conselhos e recomenda??es que apontam caminhos e atitudes a serem seguidos, influenciando o homem a ser jovem, belo e saud?vel. A partir da an?lise realizada, pode-se afirmar que na Revista Men?s Health a apar?ncia encontra-se ligada a uma ideia de um corpo magro e musculoso. Para a obten??o do corpo propagado pela revista, s?o necess?rios v?rios investimentos e pr?ticas de consumo. Nota-se ainda que o discurso do bem-estar e da felicidade utiliza a publicidade para incentivar os leitores a comprar as novidades lan?adas pela sociedade de consumo

Full textO estudo analisa os discursos de homens e da revista Mens Health acerca do corpo, saúde e sexualidade. Para a construção dos discursos dos homens, realizamos entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 19 homens leitores e nove não leitores. E dois eventos de grupos focais que reuniram 11 homens no total. Foi entrevistado também o editor da revista. Os principais conceitos norteadores deste trabalho foram os de gênero, sexualidade, poder e masculinidades hegemônicas e subalternas. Evidenciou-se que a revista está fortemente atrelada à sociedade de consumo ao estimular a inserção dos homens em um mercado de produtos e serviços até então estranhos a esse gênero. E que suas concepções sobre saúde estão relacionadas a de bem-estar e de individualização que se articulam com os discursos hegemônicos que vêm dando sentido às concepções de saúde e doença atualmente. A publicação investe fortemente na ideia de um corpo musculoso que proporcionará ganhos sociais, sexuais e profissionais aos sujeitos, nem sempre atrelado às questões de saúde. Ela ratifica a heterossexualidade do leitor projetado, expondo o corpo feminino e o sexo heterossexual e silenciando sobre outras formas de sexualidade. Por isso consideramos que a revista se vincula a uma concepção tradicional da masculinidade. Seus discursos, no entanto, não são monolíticos ou isentos de contradição, e também manifestam nuances relativas a um modelo mais contemporâneo de masculinidade, como quando apresenta a ideia de uma nova pedagogia da sexualidade e a valorização dos cuidados estéticos e de saúde com o corpo, aspectos considerados pouco próximos da masculinidade tradicional. Com relação aos discursos dos homens, evidenciou-se que a classe social e a geração são as variáveis mais importantes nas suas concepções sobre corpo, saúde e sexualidade masculina. Que, entre os não leitores, de modo geral, há evidências mais fortes de flexibilização com relação aos padrões mais tradicionais entre os homens mais jovens e/ou de classes mais altas. Enquanto os homens com idade acima dos 30 anos e das classes populares estão mais atrelados às concepções tradicionais. Entre os leitores, observou-se uma grande reflexividade com relação aos discursos da revista demonstrando que eles vêm se apropriando de forma importante dos discursos da revista e ressignificando suas concepções e práticas sobre os três temas da pesquisa a partir desses discursos. E, assim como os discursos da revista, os discursos dos homens, leitores ou não, também apresentaram aspectos contraditórios, ora demonstrando mais afiliação a um novo modelo de masculinidade, ora ao modelo mais tradicional.
The study analyzes the speeches of men and Men's Health magazine about the body, health and sexuality. For the construction of discourses of men, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 men and nine readers not readers. And two events focus groups that gathered 11 men in total. Was also interviewed the magazine's editor. The main drivers of this work were the concepts of gender, sexuality, power and hegemonic and subordinate masculinities. It was evident that the magazine is strongly tied to the consumer society to encourage the inclusion of men in a market for goods and services hitherto strangers to this genre. And that his views on health are related to wellness and individualization that articulate with the hegemonic discourses that are giving meaning to the concepts of health and illness today. The publication invests heavily in the idea of a muscular body that will provide professionals subject to social gains, sexual, and not always linked to health issues. She confirms heterosexuality designed the reader, exposing the female body and heterosexual sex and silencing of other forms of sexuality. Therefore we consider that the magazine is linked to a traditional conception of masculinity. His speeches, however, are not monolithic or free from contradiction, and also express nuances on a more contemporary model of masculinity, as when he presents the idea of a new pedagogy of sexuality and appreciation of aesthetic and health care with the body aspects considered next bit of traditional masculinity. With regard to the resources of men, it became clear that social class and generation are the most important variables in their conceptions about body, health and male sexuality. That, among non-readers in general, there is stronger evidence of flexibility with respect to more traditional patterns between younger and / or more upper class men. While men above the age of 30 years and the lower classes are more tied to traditional concepts. Among readers, there was a big reflexivity with regard to the resources of the magazine showing that they are appropriating important form of speeches and magazine redefines its conceptions and practices of the three research themes from these speeches. And just like the speeches of the journal, the speeches of men, or not readers also showed contradictory aspects, sometimes showing more affiliation to a new model of masculinity, sometimes the more traditional model.

This thesis proposes that the idea expressed in Juvenal s quotation Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, produced in the Ancient Greek-Roman civilization includes undestandings of body, heath and education that were reapropriated and reorganized by scientific and pedagogical theories in the XIX and XX centuries. These theories, especially the ones that received contributions from the biomedical sciences, have influenced Physical Education in the search of becoming a science. In order to realize this reapropriation, we have analyzed the transformations in the concepts of body, health and education produced in the area discourse, aiming at pointing out elements to the configuration of a theory that is being called Corpore Sano. The theory constitutes in possible systematization of scientific, philosophical and pedagogical concepts, and as such, an understanding of the scientific fundaments of Physical Education. The corpus of this analysis was composed by 148 articles that were published in Revista Brasileira de Ci?ncias do Esporte digitalized in the period between 1979 and 2003 and selected according to theme: body, biology, physical activity, effort physiology and health. The analysis of the content and the referential interpretation allowed the combination of philosophical reflection with attention to the empiric field as a comprehensive dimension. Based on the corpus of the analysis it is possible to configure meta-arguments about the concepts of body, health and education in the scientific production of Physical Education. As a metaresearch. Our study did not intend to judge the analyzed production, but look for theoretical elements that may generate a reflection about the scientific rationality in Physical Education and developments in the pedagogical field and in body practices. Such a reflection might be recognized as a theory of the living body, susceptible to modifications and interrogations that are proper of knowledge and practices of Physical Education. It is a theory rejects the idea of the complete truth and holds the comprehension that the truth is built historically through relations among different kinds of knowledge and Physical Education practices
A tese prop?e a id?ia de que a M?xima de Juvenal: Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, pronunciada na Antiguidade greco-romana subsume compreens?es de corpo, sa?de e educa??o reapropriadas e reorganizadas por teorias cient?ficas e pedag?gicas nos s?culos XIX e XX. Essas teorias, sobretudo, as que receberam contribui??es das ci?ncias biom?dicas, influenciaram a Educa??o F?sica em busca de cientificidade. Para perceber essa reapropria??o, analisamos as transforma??es nos conceitos de corpo, sa?de e educa??o produzidos nos discursos da ?rea, com vistas a apontar elementos para a configura??o de uma teoria que estamos denominando de Corpore Sano, a qual apresenta-se como uma sistematiza??o poss?vel de conceitos cient?ficos, filos?ficos e pedag?gicos e como tal, uma compreens?o dos fundamentos cient?ficos da Educa??o F?sica. O corpus de an?lise foi composto de 148 artigos publicados na Revista Brasileira de Ci?ncias do Esporte digitalizada no per?odo de 1979 a 2003 e selecionados a partir das seguintes tem?ticas: corpo, biologia, atividade f?sica, fisiologia do esfor?o e sa?de. A an?lise de conte?do e a interpreta??o referencial permitiram combinar a reflex?o filos?fica com a aten??o ao campo emp?rico numa dimens?o compreensiva. A partir do corpus de an?lise ? poss?vel configurar meta-argumentos em torno dos conceitos de corpo, sa?de e educa??o na produ??o cient?fica da Educa??o F?sica. Como uma metapesquisa, nosso estudo n?o se pretendeu a um julgamento da produ??o analisada, mas sim buscar elementos te?ricos que possam propiciar a reflex?o sobre a racionalidade cient?fica na Educa??o F?sica e seus desdobramentos no campo pedag?gico e das pr?ticas corporais. Uma reflex?o dessa natureza poder? ser reconhecida como uma teoria do corpo vivo, sujeita a transforma??es e interroga??es pr?prias dos saberes e pr?ticas da Educa??o F?sica. Uma teoria que rejeita a id?ia de verdade totalizante e abarca a compreens?o de que a verdade ? constru?da, historicamente, atrav?s das rela??es entre os saberes e as pr?ticas da Educa??o F?sica

Full textThe mens health has emerged as an important concern to Public Health. Its because of the male deaths rates are higher then the womens rates. In last decades, mens studies have been looking for relations between these statistics and gender, and they have demonstrated that the behavior pattern followed by men, based on hegemonic masculinity, and socially expected, its related to mens behavior and the way they have been taken care of their health. The present study intends to know the adult male patient population from a primary health care the Centro de Saúde Escola Barra Funda Dr. Alexandre Vranjac (CSEBF-AV) and how these population have been using the health center: who are those men, which are their health demands and how they are insert in this health center. From the research project Homens, violência e saúde: uma contribuição para a linha de pesquisa e intervenção em gênero, violência doméstica e saúde we have selected a source of 237 men patients who are users of this health center. They were individually interwied by researches and a survey was applied to their medical records, intending to know their social aspects, their health and the way they have been using the health center, according to their service?s register category: people who resides around the health center, people who works around the health center, people from lower social-economic levels and people that was registered at the service because of some health condition involving epidemiologic surveillance. The data were analyzed by STATA v. 9 and Epi Info v. 6.04b programs. Mostly men were aged between 35-54, they had had 8 to 11 years study, they were from middle class, they were living stable relationships, they were residing in house/ apartment whit their family and they were mostly workers. About health issues, mostly men showed to be able to perceive signs of health problem, general demands appeared being their main health demand (43,5%), they were evidence for alcoholic abuse (62,4%), safe sex practices (54%), birth control depending on women (41,4%). About the use of the health center mostly men were used to come up to their doctors appointment (70%), they looked first for health center when they were feeling ill (57,8%). Men who resided around the health center and men who worked around the health center had similar use oh the health center, men that were registered at the service because of some health condition involving epidemiologic surveillance had specifics ways in using the health center. Men from lower socio-economic levels showed they were more vulnerable to diseases risk factors. We believe that the differences found among the groups of men could be related to gender, besides other factors. The CSEBF-AV organization based on gender will provide health actions improvement to all different mens groups.

Full textThere are few studies about mens mental health, particularly when the theme is violence. The studies on men and suffered violence highlight fatal events, providing poor visibility to non-fatal violence. In this study, it was analyzed the association between these two events, which relation is little explored. It was performed methodologically a cross sectional study, with 477 men using primary care services, aged from 18 to 60 years. The screening was consecutive, in order of arrival in two primary care services in the city of São Paulo. Social-demographic, health characteristics and reports of experience of violence suffered over lifetime (adult life, adolescence and/or childhood) and of violence witnessed during childhood were collected. It was also collected information on the usage of mental health service and/or psychological complaints/diagnoses during consultation at medical clinics by reading medical records, for categorization of the dependent variable mental suffering. The variables were described per frequency and proportions, showing 29.4% (140) of men with mental suffering. Among these men, 45.7% have suffered physical and/or sexual violence more than once in life. Regarding the violence suffered during childhood and/or adolescence, half of the men showing mental suffering had suffered some episode of psychological, physical and/or sexual violence before the 18 years of age. And 61.4% of them had perpetrated some type of violence besides suffering it during lifetime. Using multivariate analysis, three confirmatory Poisson models with robust variance of were developed, adjusted by variables of social-demographic, witness of violence during childhood and usage of psychoactive substance. In the Model I, mental suffering was significantly associated only to suffering recurrent physical and/or sexual violence. (PR:1.75;95%CI:1.13-2.72), since violence in only episode lost significance after inclusion of the variable of psychoactive substance usage. In the Model II, the same outcome had been associated to suffering violence before the 18 years of age, considering that suffering violence during childhood and/or adolescence increases the risk of mental suffering in adult life by 1.93 times, (95%CI:1.25-3.00), and suffering any type of violence only in the adult life was not observed to be associated to mental suffering. In the Model III, suffering and perpetrating violence was associated to mental suffering, while suffering only or perpetrating only did not show statistical significance. In all the models, psychoactive substance usage represented an important adjustment variable. This study came to the conclusion that there is an important relation between mental suffering and suffering violence, and the occurrence of these episodes during the early years of life can cause adverse effects to mental health in adult life, being associated to up to 61,4% of these aggravations. Such relation, already highlighted in studies with women, is also relevant for mens health, drawing attention to the similar need of identification in the health services for situations of violence experimented by the male population, as well as greater attention to the aggravations on mental health in such population

Full textThis thesis studied the relation between the exercise of masculinities and health care of men in primary health care services. It consists of an attempt to comprehend how male health needs are apprehended in the interactions between men and health professionals. It was presumed that the exercise of masculinities could represent a risk to mens health and that health care services do not incorporate masculinities cultural references in effectuating health practices. Two primary health care services were studied by means of direct observation of assistential activities and interviews with men utilizing the services and health professionals. A diversity of models of masculinity that define different forms of reflecting upon mens health care was encountered. The interviews indicate that gendered masculine identity permeates different dimensions and that these dimensions should be taken into consideration when apprehending the needs and practices with respect to health care undertaken by men. The socially constructed hegemonic patterns of gender create difficulties for men to attain good health care. Nonetheless, the masculine population seeks the primary health care services for care. Although they are present, barriers related to invisibility or to the lack of identification of men with the primary health care services were perceived. This study indicates that mens health needs are regulated by issues such as work, sexuality, corporal structure, community life and family relationships. Masculinities and their needs are not entirely taken into account, as discussed, within the health care practices undertaken by the health services wherein this research was conducted.

Full textDie doel van die studie was om mens-dier-interaksies in die driehoek tussen veearts, dier en die kleuterskool te ondersoek om sodoende die rol van die veearts in die gesondheid en opvoeding van die voorskoolse kind aan te dui. Kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe navorsingsmetodes is gebruik om kleuterskole in die lae en hoë inkomste-gebiede in en om Pretoria te vergelyk. Alle kleuterskole wat ondersoek is, het diere in die kurrikulum ingesluit en die meerderheid skole het uitstappies na die dieretuin onderneem. Kind-dierinteraksies het die volgende ingesluit: direkte kontak tussen kind en dier op skool; diere in temas, stories, boeke, speletjies en speelgoed; asook uitstappies na die dieretuin, landelike museums, stedelike plase en dierwelsynsorganisasies. Onderwyseresse het gemeen dat die interaksies positief bygedra het tot die holistiese ontwikkeling van die voorskoolse kind, maar het kommer uitgespreek oor bestuur en siektes van diere. Omdat proteïene van dierlike oorsprong deel uitmaak van die dieet van voorskoolse kinders, was soönose ook 'n moontlikheid, veral in kinders van ontwikkelende areas waar dit uitgewys was dat higiëne met betrekking tot vleis en melk, nie na wense was nie. 'n Literatuurstudie het aangetoon dat die algemeenheid en omvang van soönotiese siektes, wat moontlik gevaarlik kon wees vir voorskoolse kinders, nie volledig genoeg omskryf was nie. Die vergelykende morbiditeit van siektes by Ga-Rankuwa Hospitaal se kinderafdeling (pasiënte van lae-inkomste gebiede) en 'n private praktyk in die oostelike voorstede van Pretoria (hoë inkomste gebied), is dus ondersoek. Soönotiese siektes het 'n klein deel uitgemaak van die siektes wat gediagnoseer was, maar die diagnose was op simptome, eerder as die etiologie van die siektes, gebaseer. Die vermoede bestaan dat veral siektes wat gediagnoseer is as respiratories en gastro-enteries, 'n soönotiese oorsprong kon gehad het. 'n Uitbreek van 'n soönotiese siekte by 'n kleuterskool is ondersoek en daar is voorgestel dat primêre gesondheidsorgmetodes gebruik word om dit te bekamp. Teenkanting op administratiewe vlak was die belangrikste probleem wat ondervind was, maar ten spyte daarvan kon die ondersoek suksesvol verloop. Die rol van die veearts as deel van die primêre gesondheidspan is ook hierdeur beklemtoon. Binne die kleuterskool is gevind dat daar 'n gebrek aan kennis is oor diere-etologie en dierebestuur. Kostes, praktiese versorgingsmetodes en die stimuluswaarde van diersoorte, was belangrike aspekte in die keuse van diere wat by skole aangehou is. Daarom was knaagdiere, voëls en vissies meer gewild as honde en katte. Die behuising van die diere is geëvalueer volgens voorgestelde kriteria wat tot voordeel van beide diere en kinders kan strek. Die dood en genadedood van diere by twee kleuterskole is ondersoek en voorstelle is gemaak uit 'n opvoedingkundige oogpunt, om die kinders konsepte betreffende lewe, dood en rou te laat begryp en ook om dit te kan verwerk. 'n Metode is ook ontwerp vir die analise van boeke en speelgoed en daar is bewys dat diere 'n hoofrol gespeel het in die meerderheid boeke en speelgoed by voorskole. Kinders het boeke verkies waar die hoofkarakters antropomorfiese diere was en die omgewing vergelykbaar was met die lewenswêreld van kinders. 'n Voorstel is dus gemaak dat sulke karakters gebruik word om veeartsenykunde voorligtingsboodskappe oor soönotiese siektes of dierwelsyn oor te dra aan jong kinders.Stedelike plasies, die dieretuin, landboumuseums en die Dierebeskermingsvereniging in Pretoria is besoek en daar is bevind dat dit nie veilig genoeg vir jong kinders is nie. Daar word dus aanbeveei dat veeartse in diens van plaaslike owerhede se gesondheidsdienste sulke plekke besoek, om voorstelle oor verbeterde veiligheid en higiëne te maak.Ten slote is 'n skematiese voorstelling van die veelsydige rol van veeartsenykundiges in die holistiese ontwikkeling van die voorskoolse kind saamgestel. Die verskillende rolle vir verskillende spesialiteite is ook voorgelê om die belangrike bydrae van veeartsenykunde tot die gesondheid en opvoeding van voorskoolse kinders aan te dui.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence consumer choice in menu items at fast food chain restaurants. The study utilized social media, specifically Facebook, to collect data from various areas of the United States.
Previous literature on the effectiveness of nutrition menu labeling on decreasing calories ordered reported mixed results. Some studies point to groups that may be least affected by menu labeling: men, individuals of certain races, obese individuals, individuals of lower socioeconomic status, unemployed individuals, and individuals who dine outside of the home frequently.
The results of this study indicated that men and individuals who dine outside of the home more than three times per week are less influenced by nutrition information than their counterparts. Additionally, about half the participants in this study reported that they do not notice or look for nutrition information. Further research and outreach programs are needed in this area.

This study investigated the viability of community health insurance (CHI) as a means of increasing access to health care for rural households in Uganda. This was against the background that health care is a basic need and right and that, despite this, households especially in the rural parts of Uganda are still lacking effective access to health care. The study is informed by different theories of justice in health care delivery, namely, the libertarian, egalitarian and utilitarian theories. It also borrows concepts from Andersen's (1968) behavioural model of health services access and utilization as well as Kutzin's (2001) framework for analysis of health financing arrangements to assess the viability of CHI as a strategy to increase access to health care.

This research aimed at examining and describing the lifestyles of the contemporary men gathered from the magazines Gentlemen’s Quarterly and Men’s Health as well as investigating the way in which the narrative programmes developed demonstrate the different lifestyles of the new men. For this, the ivestigation places its foundations on the sociossemiotics, mainly on the assumptions made by Eric Landowski. Furthermore, it was also possible to identify how the interaction between the enunciator, through its text projection, and the enunciatee, present by the signs left in the text, occurred. The research is also based on the French semiotics theory, developed by Algirdas Julien Greimas and one of its main worries is the way to signify, especially when the subjects and the value objects meet and where the communication raises significance. These encounters between the subject and the object which comprise its conjunctions and disjunctions, fusions and separations produce distinct and varied sense effects that pass by the analysis in which the sense is being built and displayed. Thus, the sense comes up oriented by the immanence of the texts which show it up. The corpus was selected based on the extensive scenario offered to deal with the universe of the contemporary men on the media. On account of the diversity of the mediatic products offered to the men, the two mentioned magazines were selected, from April 2011 to April 2012. By establishing the differences between the magazines to represent the masculine, it was possible to orientate the following hypothesis: was it possible to recognize the configuration of the same lifestyles in both magazines?

Full textThe study findings were thematically grouped into three themes including the coordination and partnerships, culture and implementation challenges. Poor coordination and failure of systems in place appeared to characterise the many challenges. Gender inequalities and masculine dominated cultural practices like polygamy and widow inheritance are associated with consequences of ill health among women; including high HIV/AIDS prevalence, early marriage, high teenage pregnancies and high maternal mortality. Although these practices are in favor of men, they hardly protect them from the wrath of poor RH like STDS, HIV/AIDS, stressful big families and vast poverty. Hence, Tanzanian men are also victims of their own behavior.

Resumo: Este estudo nasceu a partir da percepção do grande espaço que, atualmente, as mídias dedicam ao tema da saúde e de como, muitas vezes, a beleza parece ser um pré-requisito para que qualquer indivíduo seja reconhecido como saudável. Visto que, em grande parte, a imagem de um corpo saudável disseminada pelos meios de comunicação é constituída por corpos belos, objetiva-se, a partir desse quadro, investigar como o discurso da saúde utilizado pela edição brasileira da revista Men's Health é construído, pois, em um primeiro momento, parece-nos que seu objetivo é o de retratar temas relacionados e pertencentes ao gênero do discurso da beleza masculina, como é possível verificar pelo conteúdo anunciado em suas capas. Para isto, primeiramente, estudamos o conceito de saúde, tomando por base a ideia de que um corpo saudável é um corpo sem doenças e, em seguida, a partir de Charaudeau, buscamos compreender como a mídia constrói seu discurso. Só então, utilizando o conceito de gênero do discurso de Bakhtin, foram analisados os discursos com os quais a revista trabalha, dando ênfase aos que estão presentes em suas capas. Concluímos que os discursos da Men's Health fazem parte do gênero do discurso da saúde. Entretanto, a revista faz uso de um imaginário de saúde no qual a beleza é um elemento indispensável deste discurso. Isto é, há uma simbiose entre os discursos da saúde e da beleza. Porém, neste caso, a beleza é um valor simbólico voltado para a sedução e erotização do corpo saudável .... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: This study was born from the perception of a large space that currently the media dedicate to the topic of health and how often beauty seems to be a prerequisite for any individual to be recognized as healthy. This is due to, in large part, the image of a healthy body disseminated by the media consisting of beautiful bodies. Within this framework, the aim of this study was to investigate whether, as indicated by its name, the Brazilian edition of Men's Health magazine belongs to the branch of publications pertaining to the health discourse genre. Conversely, at first, it might seem its goal was to portray issues belonging to the male beauty discourse genre, as can be verified by the content on their covers. For this analysis, we first studied the concept of health, based on the idea that a healthy body is a body without disease. Secondly, from Charaudeau's framework, we seek to understand how the media construct its discourse. Only then, using the concept of Bakhtin's discourse genre, the discourses of the magazine were analyzed, with an emphasis on those present in its covers. We conclude that Men's Health's discourses are part of the health genre. Nevertheless, the magazine makes use of a health imaginary in which beauty is an essential element of this discourse. That is, there is a symbiosis between the discourses of health and beauty. However, in this case, beauty is a symbolic value related to the seduction and erotization of the healthy body. Therefore, the image has a great importance to this imaginary and a relevant participation in the discourse conveyed by this publication. The analysis also showed that this imaginary is not accessible to everyone. Consequently, it meets a market logic in which health is the result of a lifestyle permeated by product and behavior consumption which give the magazine's target audience not only the image of healthy people ...
