ABSTRACT

A imaturidade do sistema imunológico, associado a Determinantes Sociais de Saúde (DSS), promove doenças na infância. Especificamente, na cavidade oral, os DSS, representados pelo consumo elevado de açúcar, limitado acesso aos serviços de saúde e deficiência na higiene bucal, favorecem transtornos locais e sistêmicos. Assim, o estudo objetivou associar os DSS, no contexto das condições socioeconômicas, do acompanhamento pelo serviço de saúde e dos aspectos relacionados à saúde bucal de crianças atendidas em Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) de um município cearense. Trata-se de estudo observacional, analítico, transversal e de abordagem quantitativa, conduzido com crianças e suas mães em Acarape - CE. Após consentimento, essas preencheram um questionário. Os dados foram analisados. Das 70 mães, 87,14% e 90,00% tinham idade inferior ou igual a 30 anos e renda de até um salário mínimo, respectivamente. Das 70 crianças, 87,14% tinham seus dentes/gengiva higienizados por seus pais ou responsável. Do total, 94,29% nunca se submeteram a atendimento odontológico. Observou-se associação significativa entre a mãe ter escolaridade superior ao ensino fundamental incompleto e higienizar os dentes/gengiva do filho com escova dental e dentifrício. Constatou-se associação significativa entre a criança ingerir bolacha doce/recheada, não consumir refrigerante e usar escova dental e dentifrício na higienização oral. Conclui-se que as crianças eram acompanhadas nas UBS regularmente; no entanto, esse serviço não esteve relacionado ao atendimento odontológico. Apesar da ausência desse tipo de acompanhamento e do consumo de alimentos cariogênicos, as mães se preocupavam com a saúde bucal das crianças, higienizando a cavidade oral diariamente, com meios adequados.


The immaturity of the immune system, associated with Social Determi- nants of Health (SDH), promotes diseases in childhood. Specifically, in the oral cavity, SDH, represented by high sugar consumption, limited access to health services, and poor oral hygiene, favors local and systemic disorders. Thus, the study aimed to associate the SDH, in the context of socioeconomic conditions, monitoring by the health service and aspects related to children's oral health assisted in Basic Health Units (BHU) of a muni- cipality in Ceará. This is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study with a quan- titative approach conducted with children and their mothers in Acarape - CE. After con- sent, they filled out a questionnaire. Data were analyzed. Of the 70 mothers, 87.14% and 90.00% were aged less than or equal to 30 years and had income up to one minimum wage, respectively. Of the 70 children, 87.14% had their teeth/gums cleaned by their pa- rents or guardian. Of the total, 94.29% never underwent dental care. There was a signifi- cant association between the mother having higher education than incomplete elementary school and cleaning the child's teeth/gums with a toothbrush and toothpaste. A significant association was found between the child eating sweet/stuffed biscuits, not consuming soft drink, and using a toothbrush and dentifrice for oral hygiene. It is concluded that the chil- dren were regularly monitored at the BHU; however, this service was not related to dental care. Despite the absence of this type of follow-up and the consumption of cariogenic foods, the mothers were concerned about their children's oral health, cleaning the oral cavity daily with adequate means.


La inmadurez del sistema inmunológico, asociada a los Determinantes So- ciales de la Salud (DSS), promueve enfermedades en la infancia. Específicamente, en la cavidad bucal, los DSS, representados por el alto consumo de azúcar, el acceso limitado a los servicios de salud y la mala higiene bucal, favorecen los trastornos locales y sisté- micos. Así, el estudio tuvo como objetivo asociar el DSS, en el contexto de las condicio- nes socioeconómicas, el seguimiento por el servicio de salud y los aspectos relacionados con la salud bucal de los niños atendidos en las Unidades Básicas de Salud (UBS) de un municipio de Ceará. Se trata de un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal con enfo- que cuantitativo, realizado con niños y sus madres en Acarape ­ CE. Después del consen- timiento, completaron un cuestionario. Los datos fueron analizados. De las 70 madres, 87,14% y 90,00% tenían edad menor o igual a 30 años e ingresos hasta un salario mínimo, respectivamente. De los 70 niños, al 87,14% se les limpió los dientes/encías por sus pa- dres o tutores. Del total, el 94,29% nunca realizó atención odontológica. Hubo una aso- ciación significativa entre la madre con educación superior a la primaria incompleta y la limpieza de los dientes/encías del niño con cepillo y pasta dental. Se encontró una asoci- ación significativa entre el niño que come galletas dulces/rellenas, no consume gaseosas y usa cepillo de dientes y dentífrico para la higiene bucal. Se concluyó que los niños eran monitoreados periódicamente en la UBS; sin embargo, este servicio no estaba relacionado con el cuidado dental. A pesar de la ausencia de este tipo de seguimiento y del consumo de alimentos cariogénicos, las madres se preocupan por la salud bucal de sus hijos, reali- zando la limpieza de la cavidad bucal diariamente, con medios adecuados.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Em um contexto de recorrência de desastres, a naturalização ou rebaixamento destes à tragédia invisibiliza as dinâmicas e os processos envolvidos na afetação das comunidades e grupos populacionais mais vulneráveis a óbito e adoecimentos, como os idosos. Objetiva-se neste artigo descrever e analisar o contexto socioeconômico, ambiental e de saúde da afetação de idosos em quatro municípios dos estados de Santa Catarina e Rio de Janeiro. Para isto, realizou-se pesquisa documental, levantamento de dados abertos sociodemográficos, ambientais, econômicos e de saúde destas localidades e grupo populacional. Integraram-se as análises descritivas, de série temporal interrompida e documental. Dentre os resultados, observou-se nos documentos e dados levantados carência de previsão de ações preventivas ou mitigatórias voltadas a grupos prioritários. Para alguns grupos de causas, houve mudanças significativas no comportamento das internações hospitalares de idosos no período estudado. Conclui-se que o aprendizado institucional pautado na construção coletiva precisa ocorrer para corroborar com o rompimento do ciclo de repetição de desastres.


Abstract In a context of disaster recurrence, naturalization or demotion of the concept to tragedy does not include all the dynamics and processes involved in affecting the communities and population groups most vulnerable to death and illness, such as the older adults. This paper aims to describe and analyze the socioeconomic, environmental, and health context of impact on older adults in four municipalities in the states of Santa Catarina and Rio de Janeiro. We carried out documentary research and open data survey of sociodemographic, environmental, economic, and health aspects of these locations and population groups. Also, descriptive, interrupted time series and documentary analyses were integrated. Among the results, collected documents and data point to the lack of preventive or mitigating actions for priority groups. Significant changes in hospital admissions for older adults were observed for some groups of causes. We conclude that institutional learning based on collective construction is required to corroborate the disruption of the disaster repetitive cycle.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Varios estudios han demostrado en poblaciones indígenas alta prevalencia de obesidad, diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial, proteinuria y enfermedad renal crónica. Objetivo: Detectar factores de riesgo cardiovascular y renal, hipertensión arterial, sobrepeso y obesidad, obesidad central, diabetes y proteinuria, y evaluar nivel educativo, situación laboral, nivel socioeconómico y cobertura de salud en sujetos de la etnia wichi, habitantes de "El Impenetrable" chaqueño. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo observacional, de corte transversal, con muestra aleatoria de sujetos mayores de 18 años. La encuesta semiestructurada, y traducida a lengua wichi, incluyó: edad, sexo, sedentarismo, tabaquismo, nivel educativo, situación laboral, cobertura de salud y nivel socioeconómico. Se midió peso, talla, circunferencia de cintura, presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, glucemia y proteinuria. Se calculó el índice de masa corporal. Resultados: Se evaluaron 156 personas (el 58,3% varones, edad 34 ± 12 años). El índice de masa corporal fue de 27,9 ± 5,3, sin diferencia entre sexos. Presentó hipertensión arterial el 10,8%, sobrepeso el 34,0%, obesidad el 30,9%, obesidad central el 40,1% (mayor en mujeres, p= 0,03), tabaquismo el 17,4%, sedentarismo el 83,3%, y proteinuria el 14,5%. Se registró un único caso de diabetes. Solo 6,4% refirió trabajar, el 49,3% no había finalizado estudios primarios, el 61,7% calificó como marginal en el nivel socioeconómico, y solo el 3,8% tenía cobertura de salud. Conclusión: Este grupo poblacional evidencia un alto grado de vulnerabilidad alimentaria, educativa, laboral, social y sanitaria, reflejado en la alta prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y renal (en particular exceso de peso y obesidad central), en el bajo nivel educativo, laboral y socioeconómico, y en la falta de cobertura de salud.


Abstract Introduction: Several studies have shown a high prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, proteinuria and chronic kidney disease in indigenous populations. Aim: To detect cardiovascular and renal risk factors, hypertension, overweight and obesity, truncal obesity, diabetes and proteinuria, and to evaluate educational level, employment situation, socioeconomic level and health care coverage in subjects from the Wichi ethnic group who inhabit in "El Impenetrable" in Chaco. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out, with a random sample of subjects over 18 years of age. The semi-structured survey, translated into the Wichi language, included: age, sex, sedentary lifestyle, smoking habit, educational level, employment situation, health care coverage and socioeconomic level. Weight, height, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood glucose and proteinuria were measured. Body mass index was calculated. Results: 156 people were evaluated (58.3% men; age: 34 ± 12 years). The body mass index was 27.9 ± 5.3, with no difference between the sexes. Hypertension was present in 10.8% of individuals; overweight in 34.0%; obesity in 30.9%; truncal obesity in 40.1% (higher in women, p = 0.03); smoking habit in 17.4%; sedentary lifestyle in 83.3%, and proteinuria in 14.5%. A single case of diabetes was registered. Only 6.4% reported having a job, 49.3% had not completed primary studies, 61.7% qualified as marginal in terms of socioeconomic status, and only 3.8% had health care coverage. Conclusion: This population group shows a high degree of food, educational, occupational, social and health vulnerability, reflected in the high prevalence of cardiovascular and renal risk factors (particularly excess weight and truncal obesity), in the low educational, employment and socioeconomic levels, and in the lack of health coverage.

ABSTRACT

Osteoporosis and the fractures associated with it constitute a major public health concern. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone density and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility. A WHO Scientific Group on April 2000 estimated osteoporosis is well-defined disease that affects more than 75 million people in Europe, Japan and the USA, and causes more than 2.3 million fractures annually in Europe and the USA.In Europe, for example, the number of women over 50 years of age is projected to increase by 30%-40% between 1990 and 2025.Most studies suggest the required daily intake is between 1000 mg and 1500 mg in postmenopausal women not taking estrogen replacement therapy. This can be obtained from about three serves of dairy products per day. For example, one glass (250 mL) of milk, two slices (40 g) of Cheddar cheese, or one tub (200 g) of yoghurt each contains about 300 mg of calcium. In one French study involving vitamin D deficient institutionalized elderly patients, simple vitamin D3 (800 IU) and calcium (1200 mg/day) reduced hip fractures by 43%.The management of postmenopausal osteoporosis should be based on an individual risk/benefit analysis, time since menopause, presence or absence of estrogen with drawal symptoms, history of atraumatic fractures, and other medical conditions. Socioeconomic evaluation of osteoporosis can be undertaken to estimate the cost of disease, the effectiveness of treatments, and the effects of strategies to identify patients at high risk such as screening and case-finding, or to assess global strategies. Global strategies aimed at increasing the BMD of the general population have not been adequately tested, but general advice on lifestyle is an important component of patient care.
