ABSTRACT

The association between the sociodemographic variables of children with behavior problems and mothers with maternal depression is widely acknowledged in the literature. However, there is a lack of studies addressing the association of these variables with maternal parenting practices in typical samples, i.e., children without behavior problems and mothers without current depression indicators. The aim of this study was to identify associations between the sociodemographic variables of children and mothers with the mothers' parenting practices and children's behavioral indicators (resources and problems) in a sample of children without behavior problems and mothers without current depression indicators. This quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study addressed 46 biological mothers (married or in a stable relationship) and their children. A sociodemographic questionnaire and validated instruments addressing child behavior, maternal mental health, and parenting practices were applied. Findings showed that the mothers did not present mental health problems (e.g., behavior problems or maternal depression), but a) they presented deficits of positive practices and an excess of negative practices, and the children displayed deficits in social skills and behavior problems; b) there was an association between positive practices and the children's social skills and between negative practices and children's behavior problems; c) the frequency of positive and negative practices was equivalent among boys and girls, and d) boys more frequently presented behavior problems while school-aged children more frequently presented social skills deficits. The results indicate that even non-clinical samples may present harmful parenting practices, excess negative practices, and deficits in positive practices. Hence, there is a need for timely interventions to prevent behavior problems among children and maternal depression arising from conflicting interactions in the parenthood sphere.


Las asociaciones de variables sociodemográficas de madres con depresión materna y de sus hijos con problemas comportamentales son ampliamente reconocidas en la literatura. Por otro lado, en muestras típicas existe un vacío de estudios que traten de las asociaciones de esas variables con las prácticas parentales maternas; o sea, en niños de corta edad sin problemas comportamentales y en madres sin indicadores de depresión actual. Considerando lo anterior, el objetivo de este estudio fue verificar las asociaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas de hijos y de las prácticas parentales de sus madres con los indicadores comportamentales de recursos y problemas de los hijos. Se utilizó una muestra de hijos sin problemas comporta-mentales y de madres sin indicadores de depresión actual. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, transversal, descriptivo y correlacional. Participaron 46 madres biológicas que vivían con su pareja y sus hijos. Las participantes respondieron al cuestionario sobre variables sociodemográficas y a los instrumentos calibrados sobre comportamientos infantiles, salud mental materna y prácticas educativas. Se identificó que: (a) a pesar de no presentar problemas de salud mental (problemas de comportamiento y depresión materna), las madres evidenciaron un déficit de prácticas positivas y un exceso de prácticas negativas; a su vez, los hijos presentaron déficit de habilidades sociales y hubo quejas comportamentales; (b) se encontró asociación entre las prácticas positivas y las habilidades sociales; también se encontró asociación entre las prácticas negativas y las quejas comportamentales; (c) las prácticas positivas y negativas ocurrieron de manera equivalente entre niños y niñas; y (d) los niños tuvieron más quejas comportamentales; además, los hijos, en edad escolar, tuvieron más déficits de habilidades sociales. Los datos indican que inclusive en muestras no clínicas existen variables de riesgo en lo que se refiere a la parentalidad, a excesos de prácticas negativas y a déficits de prácticas positivas. Lo encontrado sugiere la necesidad de intervenir precozmente, para evitar el surgimiento de problemas de comportamiento infantil y también de la depresión materna, cuando esta proviene de interacciones de conflictos en el ambiente de la parentalidad.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Healthy brain aging can be defined as aging without neurological or psychiatric disorders, sustaining functional independence. In addition to the absence of disease and preserved functionality, there are individuals who stand out for their superior performance to that considered normal for their age in cognitive tests. These individuals are called "high-performance older adults" (HPOA). Objectives To investigate the presence of HPOA in an oldest-old population with low education, and if present, to investigate associations with sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables. Methods We evaluated 132 cognitively healthy individuals from the Pietà Study, a population-based investigation with 639 participants. We used the delayed recall from the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test to verify the existence of HPOA and to classify participants based on their performance. Sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables associated with HPOA were investigated. Results We identified 18 individuals fulfilling HPOA criteria (age: 77.4 ± 2.6 years old; 14 women; education: 4.6 ± 3.4 years). The other participants, 114 total (age: 79.8 ± 4.5 years old; 69 women; education: 3.0 ± 2.7 years) were classified as "standard performance older adults" (SPOA). In multivariate analysis, younger age (odds ratio [OR] =0.672; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.462-0.979; p = 0.037) and lower scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale (OR = 0.831; 95%CI: 0.688-0.989; p = 0.038) were associated with HPOA. Conclusions The present study identifies for the first time HPOA with low educational level, thereby reinforcing the existence of biological substrates related to this condition. Furthermore, the data suggest an association between younger age and less depressive symptoms with HPOA.


Resumo Antecedentes Envelhecimento cerebral saudável pode ser definido como envelhecimento sem transtornos neurológicos ou psiquiátricos e com independência funcional. Além da ausência de doença e funcionalidade preservada, existem indivíduos que se destacam pelo desempenho superior ao normal em testes cognitivos. Estes indivíduos são chamados de "high performance older adults" (HPOA, na sigla em inglês). Objetivos Investigar a presença de HPOA em uma população de idosos com baixa escolaridade e, se presente, investigar associações com variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e de estilo de vida. Métodos Avaliamos 132 indivíduos cognitivamente saudáveis do Estudo Pietà (n = 639). Foi utilizado o Teste de Aprendizagem Auditivo-Verbal de Rey para verificar a existência de HPOA e classificar os participantes em dois grupos com base em seu desempenho. Variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e de estilo de vida associadas a HPOA foram investigadas. Resultados Identificamos 18 indivíduos que preencheram critérios para HPOA (idade: 77,4 ± 2,6 anos; 14 mulheres; escolaridade: 4,6 ± 3,4 anos). Os demais, 114 no total (idade: 79,8 ± 4,5 anos; 69 mulheres; escolaridade: 3,0 ± 2,7 anos), foram classificados como "standard performance older adults" (SPOA, na sigla em inglês). Na análise multivariada, menor idade (odds ratio [OR] =0,672; intervalo de confiança [IC] 95%: 0,462-0,979; p = 0,037) e menor pontuação na Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (OR = 0,831; IC95%: 0,688-0,989; p = 0,038) foram associados ao grupo HPOA. Conclusões O presente estudo identifica pela primeira vez HPOA entre indivíduos de baixa escolaridade, reforçando a existência de substratos biológicos relacionados a esta condição. Além disso, os dados sugerem uma associação entre idade mais jovem e menos sintomas depressivos com HPOA.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background The diagnosis of cognitive disorders in Parkinson disease (PD) can be very challenging. Aiming at establishing uniform and reliable diagnostic procedures, the International Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) commissioned task forces to delineate diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia in PD. Objectives To investigate the applicability of the MDS recommendations for cognitive evaluation in a Brazilian sample of patients with PD with low levels of formal education. Methods A total of 41 patients with PD were subjected to a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation based on tests proposed by the MDS, which included the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS), the Trail Making Test (TMT) parts A and B, in addition to language and memory skills assessment. Neuropsychiatric and daily functioning features were also evaluated. Spearman correlation analyses were used to evaluate the association between the scores obtained in the cognitive scales and demographic/clinical variables. Results Although none of the participants had a formal diagnosis of dementia, 50% presented some degree of cognitive impairment when considering the results of the MDRS. Of note, a noticeable number of patients was not able to complete the full neuropsychological assessment. The TMT part B was the most difficult task, being completed by only 22 participants (54%). As expected, the greater the educational level, the better the performance on the cognitive tests. Better motor function was also associated with better scores in cognition. Conclusions Adopting strict inclusion/exclusion criteria and a comprehensive clinical evaluation, we found remarkable limitations for the MDS recommendations when individuals with low educational levels are considered. A revision of the current guidelines is necessary considering differences among populations, especially related to formal education.


Resumo Antecedentes O diagnóstico de distúrbios cognitivos na doença de Parkinson (DP) pode ser muito desafiador. Com o objetivo de estabelecer procedimentos diagnósticos uniformes e confiáveis, a Sociedade Internacional da Doença de Parkinson e Distúrbios do Movimento (MDS, na sigla em inglês) encomendou forças-tarefa para delinear critérios diagnósticos para comprometimento cognitivo leve (CCL) e demência na DP. Objetivos Investigar a aplicabilidade das recomendações da MDS para avaliação cognitiva em uma amostra brasileira de pacientes com DP de baixa escolaridade. Métodos Um total de 41 pacientes com DP foram submetidos a uma avaliação neuropsicológica abrangente com base nos testes propostos pela MDS, que incluiu o Miniexame do Estado Mental, a Escala de Avaliação de Demência de Mattis (MDRS, na sigla em inglês), o teste de trilhas (TMT, na sigla em inglês) partes A e B, além da avaliação das habilidades de linguagem e memória. Características neuropsiquiátricas e de funcionamento diário também foram avaliadas. Análises de correlação de Spearman foram utilizadas para avaliar a associação entre os escores obtidos nas escalas cognitivas e variáveis demográficas/clínicas. Resultados Apesar de nenhum dos participantes ter diagnóstico formal de demência, 50% apresentaram algum grau de comprometimento cognitivo ao levar em consideração os resultados da MDRS. Vale ressaltar que um número notável de pacientes não conseguiu completar a avaliação neuropsicológica completa. A parte B do TMT foi a tarefa mais difícil, sendo realizada por apenas 22 participantes (54%). Como esperado, quanto maior o nível educacional, melhor o desempenho nos testes cognitivos. Melhor função motora também foi associada a melhores escores em cognição. Conclusões Adotando critérios rígidos de inclusão/exclusão e uma avaliação clínica abrangente, encontramos limitações marcantes para as recomendações da MDS quando considerados indivíduos com baixa escolaridade. É necessária uma revisão das diretrizes atuais considerando as diferenças entre as populações, principalmente relacionadas ao nível educacional.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to analyze the trend of incompleteness of the maternal schooling and race/skin color variables held on the Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) between 2012 and 2020. Methods: this was an ecological time series study of the incompleteness of maternal schooling and race/skin color data for Brazil, its regions and Federative Units, by means of joinpoint regression and calculation of annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change. Results: a total of 26,112,301 births were registered in Brazil in the period; incompleteness of maternal schooling data decreased for Brazil (APC = -8.1%) and the Southeast (APC = -19.5%) and Midwest (APC = -17.6%) regions; as for race/skin color, there was a downward trend for Brazil (APC = -8.2%) and all regions, except the Northeast region, while nine Federative Units and the Federal District showed a stationary trend. Conclusion: there was an improvement in filling out these variables on the SINASC, but with regional disparities, mainly for race/skin color.

ABSTRACT

A dengue pode estar associada a variáveis de nível individual, como escolaridade, aumentando o risco de adoecimento. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as disparidades da mortalidade por dengue entre os menos e mais escolarizados no Brasil entre os anos de 2010 e 2018. Este é um estudo do tipo ecológico retrospectivo das diferenças na taxa de mortalidade por dengue entre menos e mais escolarizados no Brasil, através das taxas de mortalidade por dengue geral, por idade, sexo e Unidade Federativa (UF). Um procedimento de bootstrap e imputação múltipla para a variável escolaridade foram implementados de modo a considerar a estrutura multinível em cada UF dos dados ao longo dos anos. Para cada banco agregado gerado, foi ajustado um modelo de Poisson multinível. A melhoria na escolaridade da população brasileira não refletiu na diminuição da mortalidade por dengue. Houve um aumento na taxa de mortalidade por dengue no Brasil e um crescimento da diferença de taxas de mortalidade entre menos e mais escolarizados. Independentemente do processo de imputação, os resultados mostraram maiores taxas de mortalidade por dengue entre os menos escolarizados. A baixa escolaridade afetou de forma mais pronunciada os mais jovens.


Dengue may be associated with individual level variables, such as schooling, increasing the risk of illness. The objective of this study is to analyze the disparities in dengue mortality among the least and the most educated in Brazil, from 2010 to 2018. This is a retrospective ecological study of the differences in the mortality rate due to dengue between the less and the more educated people in Brazil, according to the mortality rates due to general dengue, by age, sex, and Federative Unit (UF). A bootstrap and multiple imputation procedure for the variable schooling was implemented to consider the multilevel structure of the data from each UF over the years. For each aggregate bank generated, a multilevel Poisson model was adjusted. The improvement in the education level of the Brazilian population did not reflect on the decrease in mortality from dengue. There was an increase in the mortality rate from dengue in Brazil and an increase in the difference in mortality rates between less and more educated. Regardless of the imputation process, the results showed higher mortality rates from dengue among the less educated. Low schooling affected younger people more pronouncedly.


El dengue puede estar asociado a variables de nivel individual como la educación, aumentando el riesgo de enfermarse. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las disparidades de la mortalidad por dengue entre las personas con menor y mayor nivel educativo en Brasil entre los años 2010 y 2018. Estudio del tipo ecológico retrospectivo de las diferencias en la tasa de mortalidad por dengue entre las personas con menor y mayor nivel educativo en Brasil, a través de las tasas de mortalidad por dengue general, por edad, género y Unidad Federativa (UF). Se implementó un procedimiento de bootstrap y de imputación múltiple para la variable de educación para considerar la estructura multinivel en cada UF de los datos a lo largo de los años. Para cada banco agregado generado, se ajustó un modelo de Poisson multinivel. La mejora en la educación de la población brasileña no se reflejó en la disminución de la mortalidad por dengue. Hubo un aumento en la tasa de mortalidad por dengue en Brasil y un crecimiento de la diferencia en las tasas de mortalidad entre las personas con menor y mayor nivel educativo. Independientemente del proceso de imputación, los resultados mostraron mayores tasas de mortalidad por dengue entre los menos educados. El bajo nivel de educación afectó de forma más pronunciada a los más jóvenes.

ABSTRACT

La pandemia por COVID-19 generó una crisis de salud pública sin precedentes a nivel mundial, provocando la muerte directa o indirecta de alrededor de 14,9 millones de personas en un período de 2 años. Ante esto, el desarrollo de vacunas para evitar la muerte, cuadros graves y cortar la cadena de propagación del virus, se estableció como prioridad mundial. El proceso de vacunación ha demostrado su efectividad, pero ha existido reticencia a vacunarse dentro de la población. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la relación de variables censales con respecto a la frecuencia de vacunación para la semana del 24 de mayo de 2021 en Chile. Para ello, se recurrió a datos secundarios del censo del 2017 y del Ministerio de Salud y, a través de una regresión lineal múltiple, se determinó que la escolaridad, la vivienda de residencia y la etnicidad son variables que impactan en la cantidad de personas vacunadas por comuna. Los hallazgos obtenidos aportan información relevante para la generación de políticas públicas(AU)


The COVID-19 pandemic generated an unprecedented public health crisis worldwide, which caused the direct or indirect death of about 14.9 million people in a period of two years. In view of this, the development of vaccines to prevent death and serious illnesses and to cut the chain of spread of the virus was established as a global priority. Although the vaccination process has demonstrated the effectiveness of vaccination, there has been reluctance within the population. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify the relation of census variables with respect to the frequency of vaccination for the week of May 24, 2021 in Chile. For this purpose, secondary data from the 2017 Census and the Ministry of Health were used and, through a multiple linear regression, it was determined that schooling, residence dwelling and ethnicity are variables that impact the number of people vaccinated per commune. The findings obtained provide relevant information for the generation of public policies(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of educational level on smoking cessation in patients with moderate to severe tobacco dependence, explore effective individualized smoking cessation methods, and increase smoking cessation rate.Methods:A total of 480 patients with moderate to severe tobacco dependence who were willing to quit smoking and received treatment in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital from January to December 2020 were included in this study. They were divided into four groups ( n = 120/group) according to their educational level: group A (elementary school and below), group B (junior high school and senior high school), group C (technical secondary school or college), and group D (university and above). All patients were randomly assigned to undergo "5A" intervention alone or "5A" intervention combined with varenicline intervention (combined intervention). Patients' awareness of the health risks of tobacco smoking was compared among the four groups. The smoking cessation rate measured at different time points was compared between different intervention strategies. Results:The scores of health risk of tobacco smoking in groups D, C, B, and A were (806.5 ± 35.7) points, (710.8 ± 26.2) points, (643.6 ± 43.4) points, and (512.4 ± 30.1) points, respectively. Patients with high education levels had high awareness of the health risk of tobacco smoking ( F = 1 543.26, P < 0.001). At 1, 3, and 6 months, the smoking cessation rate of combined intervention was higher than that of "5A" intervention alone in each group (group A: χ2 = 3.85, 4.23, 4.10, group B: χ2 = 4.30, 4.09, 4.60, group C: χ2 = 6.81, 4.30, 4.03, group D: χ2 = 6.71, 6.51, 4.73, all P < 0.05). The smoking cessation rate after 6 months of "5A" intervention alone or combined intervention in group D was 60.0% and 78.3% respectively, which were significantly higher than 41.7% and 60.0% in group C, 23.3% and 41.7% in group B, and 20.0% and 36.7% in group A ( χ2 = 26.59, 26.12, both P < 0.001). At different time points, the smoking cessation rates of the "5A" intervention alone in group D were significantly higher than those of combined intervention in groups A and B ( χ2 = 9.25, 25.04, 7.29, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Awareness of the health risks of tobacco smoking is related to a patient's educational level, and affects smoking cessation. Individualized smoking cessation interventions based on a patient's educational level can increase the rate of smoking cessation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: A low education level has been associated with cognitive impairment in older adults. AIM: To determine the association between educational attainment and suspicion of cognitive imparirment in older Chilean population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data from 2,005 adults aged ≥ 60 years assessed during 2016-2017 Chilean National Health Survey were included. Education was self-reported and categorized as primary: ≤ 8 years; secondary: 9 to 12 years and beyond secondary: > 12 years. suspicion of cognitive imparirment was assessed with the Mini-Mental questionnaire. RESULTS: Men and women with low education attainment had a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment (33% [95% confidence intervals (CI): 24; 41] and 27% [95% CI: 21; 33], respectively). Men who reported less schooling (≤ 8 years) were more likely to be at risk of suspicion of cognitive imparirment (Odds ratio (OR): 4.53 [95% CI: 1.10, 18.62]) compared to their peers. Women showed a substantially higher magnitude of association than men. The probability of suspicion of cognitive imparirment increased 9-times (OR: 9.96 [95% CI: 1.24; 79.6]) for 9-12 years and 18-times for ≤ 8 years of education (OR: 18.8 [95% CI: 2.42; 146.1]) compared to women with higher education. CONCLUSIONS: Older adults with low education attainment had an increased likelihood of developing suspicion of cognitive imparirment. However, the risk differs by sex, being higher in women than men.

ABSTRACT

Background: Reproductive Tract Infections (RTI) have a direct impact on reproductive and child health through infertility, cancers, and pregnancy complications, and they have an indirect impact through their role in facilitating the sexual transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus. Objectives: To find the prevalence and determinants of RTI/STI among married women of reproductive age group in rural and peri-urban areas of Aligarh. Methods: The data were collected by using a pretested, semi-structured with both open and closed-ended questionnaire from 500 married women of reproductive age group. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.0 Proportion, frequencies, ?2, and logistic regression were used to interpret the data. Results: Prevalence of RTI/STI symptoms was found to (42.8%) in rural areas and 37.6 % in periurban areas. Strong association was found in study subjects having lower educational status, who were not using any contraceptive method, not following good menstrual hygiene, early marriage age had husband history of RTI/STI, had a history of abortion, had a history of violence, and increased parity. Conclusions: Prevalence of symptoms found to be associated with these females having low educational status, early age of marriage, high parity, partner history of reproductive Tract Infections, history of violence etc. So, there should be more focus on improvement in these factors to reduce the prevalence.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A narrativa escrita deve articular a ideia principal através da relação entre tema, perso-nagens e desfecho, sendo responsabilidade de quem escreve relacionar esses componentes para levá-los à coerência. A coerência consiste de uma dependência de relações macro-linguísticas (associação do tema do texto às estruturas que o compõem) e micro-linguísticas (conectivos que trarão coesão à narrativa), a fim de proporcionar ao texto o poder de interpretação. Objetivo: analisar quais variáveis linguísticas estavam relacionadas ao melhor desempenho em coerência nas narrativas escritas de escolares do ensino fundamental. Métodos: a amostra foi composta por 37 crianças (idade entre 7 ­ 11 anos) sem deficiência intelectual e/ou deficiência auditiva. Cada criança teve sua elaboração escrita classificada em adequada (coerência nível III e IV segundo instrumento utilizado) ou inadequada (coerência nível I ou II). Poste-riormente, foi analisado um conjunto de variáveis que poderiam estar relacionadas ao desempenho da narrativa, a saber: compreensão oral, vocabulário, consciência fonológica, consciência morfossintática, memória de trabalho ­ alça fonológica, leitura e escrita. Todas essas variáveis foram avaliadas através de testes padronizados. Para a análise estatística utilizou-se modelo de regressão logística. Resultados:dentre todas as habilidades linguísticas avaliadas, consciência morfossintática (p = 0,02) foi a variável significativa. Somada a estas, temos também a escolaridade (p = 0,01), porém a consciência morfossin-tática apresentou coeficiente negativo enquanto a escolaridade apresentou coeficiente positivo. Conclu-são: crianças que apresentam alteração em consciência morfossintática apresentam maiores chances de elaborarem narrativas escritas incoerentes. Já as crianças com maior grau de escolaridade, são as que possuem textos mais adequados.


Introduction: The written narrative must articulate the main idea through the relation between theme, characters and outcome, being the responsibility of those who write to relate these components to bring them to coherence. Consistency consists of a dependence on macro-linguistic relations (association of the theme of the text with the structures that make it up) and micro-linguistic (connectives that will bring cohesion to the narrative), in order to provide the text with the power of interpretation. Objective: to analyze which linguistic variables are related to the best coherence performance in the written narrati-ves of elementary schoolchildren. Methods: the sample consisted of 37 children aged 7-11 years with no intellectual or hearing deficiency. The written elaboration of each child was classified as adequate (level III and IV coherence according to the instrument used) or inadequate (level I or II coherence). A set of variables that might be related to the performance of the narrative was then analyzed, such as oral comprehension, vocabulary, phonological awareness, morphosyntactic awareness, working memory ­ phonological loop, reading, and writing. All of these variables were evaluated using standardized tests and statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model. Results: among all the linguistic skills evaluated, morphosyntactic awareness (p = 0.02) was the significant variable. In addition to these there was also schooling (p = 0.01), although morphosyntacic awareness showed a negative coefficient while schooling showed a positive coefficient. Conclusion: children with changes in morphosyntactic awareness have a greater chance to elaborate incoherent written narratives, whereas children with higher schooling elaborate more adequate texts.


Introducción: La narrativa escrita debe articular la idea principal a través de la relación entre tema, personajes y desenlace, siendo responsabilidad de quienes escriben relacionar estos componentes para llevarlos a la coherencia. La coherencia consiste en una dependencia de relaciones macrolingüísticas y microlingüísticas, para dotar al texto de poder de interpretación. Objetivo: analizar qué variables lingüísticas se relacionaron con un mejor desempeño en coherencia en las narrativas escritas de estudiantes de primaria. Metodos: la muestra estuvo formada por 37 niños (de 7 a 11 años). Cada niño tenía su elabo-ración escrita clasificada como adecuada (nivel de coherencia III y IV, según el instrumento utilizado) o inadecuada (nivel de coherencia I o II). Posteriormente, se analizaron un conjunto de variables que podrían estar relacionadas con el desempeño de la narrativa, a saber: escucha, vocabulario, conciencia fonológica, conciencia morfosintáctica, memoria de trabajo - bucle fonológico, lectura y escritura. Todas estas variables se evaluaron mediante pruebas estandarizadas. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó un modelo de regresión logística. Resultados: entre todas las habilidades lingüísticas evaluadas, la conciencia morfosintáctica (p = 0,02) fue la variable significativa. Sumado a estos, también tenemos la educación (p = 0.01), pero la conciencia morfosintáctica tuvo un coeficiente negativo mientras que la educación tuvo un coeficiente positivo. Conclusión: los niños con alteración de la conciencia morfosintáctica son más propensos a desarrollar narrativas escritas incoherentes. Los niños con mayor nivel educativo, en cambio, son los que tienen los textos más adecuados.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Objetivo: Conhecer a perspectiva dos profissionais de educação acerca das dificuldades enfrentadas na educação escolar de crianças e adolescentes com doenças crônicas, tendo em vista os aspectos de vulnerabilidade. Método: Estudo descritivo e exploratório de natureza qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada em uma cidade ao Sul do Brasil. Participaram quinze profissionais da educação que em seu cotidiano atendiam crianças ou adolescentes com doença crônica. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática e interpretados por meio do conceito de vulnerabilidade. Resultados: Emergiram três temas: vulnerabilidades programáticas vivenciadas na escolarização e cuidado a crianças e adolescentes com doença crônica; vulnerabilidades individuais experienciadas na relação da família com a escola e sua influência sobre o processo de escolarização; e vulnerabilidade social e o processo de escolarização de crianças e adolescentes com doenças crônicas. Conclusões: Evidencia-se a necessidade de um olhar apurado para as dimensões de vulnerabilidades vivenciadas, envolvendo a disponibilização de recursos humanos e materiais, a fim de minimizar adversidades e limitações na escolarização, objetivando sanar demandas individuais dos alunos, suas famílias e dos educadores.


Resumen: Objetivo: Conocer la perspectiva de los profesionales de la educación sobre las dificultades que enfrentan en la educación escolar de niños y adolescentes con enfermedades crónicas, considerando los aspectos de vulnerabilidad. Método: Estudio descriptivo y exploratorio de carácter cualitativo. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo en una ciudad del sur de Brasil. Participaron 15 profesionales de la educación que, en su rutina diaria, asisten a niños o adolescentes con enfermedades crónicas. Los datos fueron analizados a través de análisis temáticos e interpretados a través del concepto de vulnerabilidad. Resultados: Surgieron tres temas: las vulnerabilidades programáticas experimentadas en la escolarización y atención de niños y adolescentes con enfermedades crónicas; las vulnerabilidades individuales experimentadas en la relación de la familia con la escuela y su influencia en el proceso de escolarización; y la vulnerabilidad social y el proceso de escolarización de niños y adolescentes con enfermedades crónicas. Conclusión: Es evidente la necesidad de una mirada precisa a las dimensiones de las vulnerabilidades experimentadas, que involucran la disponibilidad de recursos humanos y materiales, con el fin de minimizar las adversidades y limitaciones en la escolarización, con el objetivo de atender las demandas individuales de los estudiantes, sus familias y educadores.


Abstract: Objective: To know the perspective of education professionals about the difficulties faced in the school education of children and adolescents with chronic diseases, considering the aspects of vulnerability. Method: Descriptive and exploratory study of a qualitative nature. Data collection was carried out in a city in southern Brazil. The participants were fifteen education professionals who, in their daily routine, assist children or adolescents with chronic diseases. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis and interpreted through the concept of vulnerability. Results: Three themes emerged: programmatic vulnerabilities experienced in schooling and caring for children and adolescents with chronic illness; individual vulnerabilities experienced in the relationship between the family and the school and its influence on the schooling process; and social vulnerability and the schooling process of children and adolescents with chronic diseases. Conclusion: There is an evident need for an accurate look at the dimensions of vulnerabilities experienced, involving the availability of human and material resources, to minimize adversities and limitations in schooling, aiming to address individual demands of students, their families, and educators.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la desigualdad en la TMN entre departamentos del Perú, generada por la pobreza y educación, en los años 2011 y 2019. Materiales y métodos: Estudio ecológico basado en el análisis de desigualdades sociales en salud recomendada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. El indicador de salud fue la TMN y como estratificadores de equidad se seleccionaron a la pobreza, medida como la existencia de al menos una necesidad básica insatisfecha por departamento, y a la educación, promedio de años de estudio de las mujeres en edad fértil por departamento. Se calculó la desigualdad absoluta (BA), relativa (BR) y el índice de concentración de salud (ICS). Resultados: Se encontró mayor TMN en departamentos con mayor pobreza y menor educación. En la TMN generada por la pobreza la BA se redujo de 8,13 a 2,24 entre 2011-2019 y la BR de 2,08 a 1,31. La BA de la TMN según educación pasó de 4,50 a 2,31 y la BR de 1,62 a 1,28. El ICS registró valores cercanos a cero y con tendencia a la reducción; en el 2019 fue 0,07 para la pobreza y 0,06 para la educación. Conclusiones: Existe desigualdad en la mortalidad neonatal entre departamentos del Perú según pobreza y la educación, habiéndose reducido entre el 2011 y 2019 principalmente en la población pobre o menos educada. El Ministerio de Salud debe continuar reduciendo la mortalidad neonatal impulsando intervenciones con mayor enfoque poblacional.


ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to analyze inequality in the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) between departments in Peru, generated by poverty and education, in the years 2011 and 2019. Materials and methods: Ecological study based on the analysis of social inequalities in health, recommended by the World Health Organization. The health indicator was the NMR. Poverty, measured as the existence of at least one unmet basic need per department, and education, average years of study of women of childbearing age per department, were selected to stratify equity. We calculated the absolute inequality gap (AG), the relative inequality gap (RG) and the health concentration index (HCI). Results: A higher NMR was found in departments with greater poverty and less education. In the NMR generated by poverty, the AG decreased from 8.13 to 2.24 between 2011-2019 and the RG from 2.08 to 1.31. The AG of the NMR according to education dropped from 4.50 to 2.31 and the RG from 1.62 to 1.28. The HCI registered values close to zero and with a decreasing trend; in 2019 it was 0.07 for poverty and 0.06 for education. Conclusions: There is inequality in neonatal mortality between departments in Peru according to poverty and education, which decreased between 2011 and 2019 mainly in the poor or less educated population. The Ministry of Health should continue to reduce neonatal mortality by promoting interventions with a greater population focus.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A assistência à gestante no período que antecede o parto é determinante nos indicadores de saúde. O objetivo principal do estudo foi verificar o perfil das parturientes do Hospital Universitário de Canoas/RS e correlacionar com o número de consulta de pré-natal. Métodos: Desenvolvido um estudo transversal pela análise de prontuários do Alojamento Conjunto do Hospital Universitário de Canoas, com total de 413 parturientes e seus recém-nascidos. Resultados: A frequência de consultas de pré-natal não teve diferença significativa entre as faixas etárias e com a escolaridade. Em contrapartida, as pacientes que afirmaram ter companheiro tiveram mais consultas. As pacientes com mais de um filho frequentaram, na maior parte, menos de seis consultas de pré-natal. Discussão: Os parceiros se fazem necessários para a qualidade do pré-natal ­ benefícios para o casal e para cuidados com o filho. As mulheres que já deram a luz podem se considerar mais experientes; questiona-se a realização de exames e demais necessidades de cada gestação. A idade materna e a escolaridade não tiveram diferença significativa para o número de consultas, ao contrário do resultado de outros grandes estudos brasileiros. Além disso, existem locais na cidade que carecem de maior incentivo de continuidade do cuidado pré-natal. Conclusão: No presente estudo, a menor frequência de pré-natal estava associada a multíparas e sem companheiro. A detecção de sífilis sobressaiu-se, com média superior à do Rio Grande do Sul. Em vista dos expostos, a assistência pré-natal deve alcançar melhorias na cobertura de determinados grupos de parturientes.


Introduction: Pregnancy care in the period preceding delivery is a determinant of health indicators. The main objective of this study was to verify the profile of parturient women at Hospital Universitário de Canoas and to correlate it with the number of prenatal visits. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study performed through the analysis of medical records of the rooming-in unit of Hospital Universitário de Canoas, totaling 413 parturient women and their newborns. Results: The frequency or prenatal visits did not significantly differ between age groups and level of education. On the other hand, patients who reported having a partner had more prenatal visits. Most of the patients with more than one child attended less than 6 prenatal visits. Discussion: Support partners are necessary to the quality of prenatal care ­ providing benefits to the couple and childcare. Women who have given birth may consider themselves more experienced; examinations and other requirements of each pregnancy are questioned. Maternal age and education did not show significant differences regarding the number of visits, as opposed to results observed in other large Brazilian studies. Moreover, some areas of the city lack incentives to Estrepthe continuity of prenatal care. Conclusions: In this study, a lower frequency of prenatal visits was associated with multiparous women without a partner. The detection of syphilis was noteworthy, with a higher average than that of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In view of these results, prenatal care should reach better coverage among certain groups of parturient women.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Evaluar los factores sociales y demográficos asociados al embarazo y al embarazo repetido en mujeres adolescentes de Perú MÉTODO: Estudio transversal analítico realizado a partir de las encuestas de población ENDES 2009 a 2018 en Perú. Participaron mujeres adolescentes entre 12 y 19 años de edad. Se recogió información de condición de embarazo y características sociales y demográficas. Se aplicó la prueba de χ2 y se calculó la razón de prevalencia ajustada con su intervalo de confianza al 95% usando regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta. RESULTADOS: En el estudio se incluyeron 49 676 mujeres adolescentes. El 12,6% tuvieron un embarazo y el 5,1% tuvieron dos o más embarazos. Se evidenció asociación entre edad, región geográfica, origen étnico, nivel educativo, nivel económico y embarazo adolescente (p < 0,001). Los niveles educativo y económico inferiores presentaron una mayor razón de prevalencia de embarazo adolescente, siendo mayor incluso en situaciones de dos o más embarazos. CONCLUSIONES: En la población de mujeres adolescentes de Perú, el 17,7% estuvieron embarazadas y el 5,1% tuvieron embarazo repetido. Existe asociación entre embarazo adolescente y bajos niveles económico y educativo; esta asociación se incrementa en situaciones de embarazo repetido.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the social and demographic factors associated with pregnancy and repeated pregnancy in adolescent women in Peru. METHOD: Analytical cross-sectional study carried out from the ENDES population surveys 2009 to 2018 in Peru. Adolescent women between 12 and 19 years of age participated. Information on pregnancy status and number of children was collected, as well as social and demographic characteristics. The χ2 test was applied, the adjusted prevalence ratio with its 95% confidence interval was calculated using Poisson regression with robust variance. RESULTS: 49 676 adolescent women were included in the study. The 17.7% had one or more pregnancies and 5.1% two or more pregnancies. The analysis showed an association between geographic region, age, ethnic origin, educational level, economic level and adolescent pregnancy (p < 0.001). The lower levels of educational level and economic level presented a higher prevalence ratio of adolescent pregnancy, being higher even in situations of two or more pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS: In the population of adolescent women in Peru, 17.7% were pregnant and 5.1% had repeated pregnancy. Adolescent pregnancy is associated with low economic and educational levels; this association increases in situations of repeated pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução: as condições estressantes do trabalho estão associadas ao aumento dos níveis glicêmicos, mas pouco se conhece sobre o papel da escolaridade neste contexto. Objetivos: analisar a associação entre o estresse psicossocial no trabalho e os níveis de hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) e a influência da escolaridade como modificador de efeito. Métodos: estudo transversal com dados de 11.922 trabalhadores ativos da linha de base do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil). O estresse psicossocial no trabalho foi avaliado pelo modelo demanda-controle. Foram empregadas a regressão logística multinomial e interações multiplicativas. Resultados: em trabalhadoras do sexo feminino com baixa escolaridade, observou-se associação entre baixo uso de habilidades no trabalho (OR 1,56; IC95% 1,09-2,24) e HbA1c elevada. A baixa autonomia no trabalho foi relacionada à HbA1c limítrofe (OR 1,21; IC95% 1,01-1,45) e elevada (OR 1,73; IC95% 1,19-2,51). Entre trabalhadores do sexo masculino com baixa escolaridade, o trabalho de alto desgaste (OR 1,94; IC95% 1,18-3,21), o baixo uso de habilidades (OR 2,00; IC95% 1,41-2,83) e a baixa autonomia no trabalho (OR 1,58; IC95% 1,13-2,21) foram associados à HbA1c elevada. Conclusão: o estresse psicossocial no trabalho foi associado a níveis limítrofes e elevados de HbAlc para trabalhadores com baixa escolaridade de ambos os sexos. Assim, ações para modificar as relações de trabalho e prevenir doenças crônicas devem ser priorizadas.


Abstract Introduction: stressful work conditions are associated to increased glycemic levels, but little is known about the role of educational attainment in this association. Objectives: to analyze the association between psychosocial stress at work, levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the role of educational attainment as an effect modifier. Methods: a cross-sectional study with baseline data from 11,922 active workers who participated in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Psychosocial stress at work was measured via the Demand-Control model. Multinomial logistic regression and multiplicative interactions were performed. Results: among female workers with low educational attainment, there was an association of low skill discretion and elevated HbA1c (OR 1.56; 95% CI 1.09-2.24). Low decision authority was associated to borderline (OR 1.21; 95% CI 1.01-1.45) and high (OR 1.73; 95% CI 1.19-2.51) HbA1c. Among male workers with low educational attainment, high strain (OR 1.94; 95% CI 1.18-3.21), low skill discretion (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.41-2.83), and low decision authority (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.13-2.21) were associated to high HbA1c. Conclusion: Stress at work was associated to high and borderline levels of HbAlc in workers from both genders with low educational attainment. Actions to modify work relations and to prevent chronic diseases should be prioritized for this group.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze the factors associated with paid work, after the dam failure, based on geographic strata, among men and women residing in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Methods: Baseline data from participants of the Brumadinho Health Project, aged 18 years or older, obtained through a questionnaire, between July and November 2021 (n=2,783) were used. The dependent variable was paid work after the dam failure and the explanatory variables were geographic stratum, age, education, race/skin color, self-perception of health and employment relationship before the event. The adjusted analysis was estimated by logistic regression. All analyses were performed separately for men and women. Results: Paid work after the dam failure was reported by 58.3% (95%CI 55.0-61.6) of the participants, with the highest prevalence among men (71.4%; 95%CI 67.1-75.3) compared to women (48.6%; 95%CI 44.3-52.8) (p<0.001). After adjustments, the results showed that the population who was directly exposed to the disaster was less likely to have a paid work after it, both for women (OR=0.68; 95%CI 0.48-0.95) and for men (OR=0.48; 95%CI 0.30-0.78). In addition, women directly exposed to the disaster and who reported being self-employed before it were less likely to have a paid work, compared to women who reported being employed with or without a formal contract. Conclusion: Participation in the labor market is determined by several factors. Thus, intersectoral policies are necessary the population's demands of life and work are met in disaster situations.


RESUMO: Objetivo: Analisar os fatores associados ao trabalho remunerado, após o rompimento da barragem, com ênfase no estrato geográfico, entre homens e mulheres residentes em Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados dos participantes da linha de base do Projeto Saúde Brumadinho, com 18 anos ou mais de idade, obtidos por aplicação de questionário, entre julho e novembro de 2021 (n=2.783). A variável dependente foi trabalho remunerado após o rompimento da barragem, e as variáveis explicativas foram estrato geográfico, idade, escolaridade, raça/cor, autopercepção de saúde e vínculo de trabalho antes do rompimento da barragem. A análise ajustada foi estimada pela regressão logística. Todas as análises foram realizadas separadamente para homens e mulheres. Resultados: O trabalho remunerado após o rompimento da barragem foi relatado por 58,3% (IC95% 55,0-61,6) dos participantes, sendo a maior prevalência entre os homens (71,4%; IC95% 67,1-75,3) em comparação às mulheres (48,6%; IC95% 44,3-52,8) (p<0,001). Após ajustes, os resultados mostraram que a população diretamente exposta apresentou menor chance de ter trabalho remunerado após o rompimento da barragem, tanto para as mulheres (OR=0,68; IC95% 0,48-0,95) quanto para os homens (OR=0,48; IC95% 0,30-0,78). Além disso, mulheres diretamente expostas ao rompimento da barragem e que relataram trabalho autônomo antes do rompimento apresentaram menor probabilidade de ter trabalho remunerado, em comparação àquelas que informaram trabalhar com ou sem carteira assinada. Conclusão: A participação no mercado de trabalho é determinada por vários fatores. Dessa forma, políticas intersetoriais são necessárias para atender às demandas de vida e trabalho da população em situações de desastre.

ABSTRACT

Background: The influence of education on cognition has been extensively researched, particularly in countries with high levels of illiteracy. However, the impact of low education in all cognitive functions appears to differ. Regarding to language, the effects of education on many linguistic tasks-supported by different processing-remain unclear. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether oral language task performance differs among individuals with no formal and low-educated subjects, as measured by the Brazilian Montreal-Toulouse Language Assessment Battery (MTL-BR). This is the only language battery available for use in Brazil, but lacks normative data for illiterate individuals. The secondary objective was to gather data for use as clinical parameters in assessing persons with aphasia (PWA) not exposed to a formal education. Methods: A total of 30 healthy illiterate individuals aged 34-60 years were assessed. All participants underwent the MTL-BR Battery, excluding its written communication tasks. The data obtained in the present study were compared against results of a previous investigation of individuals with 1-4 years of education evaluated using the same MTL-BR instrument. Results: Statistically significant differences in performance were found between non-formal education and the low-educated (2-4 years) groups on the tasks Auditory Comprehension, Repetition, Orthographic/Phonological Fluency, Number dictation, Reading of numbers and also on simple numerical calculations. Conclusion: The study results showed that individuals with no formal education/illiterate had worse performance than low-education individuals on some of the language tasks of the MTL-Br Battery, suggesting that each year of education impacts cognitive-language performance. Also, data were obtained which can serve as a guide for PWA not exposed to a formal education. (AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Being an ϵ4 carrier in the Apoϵ gene has been suggested as a modifying factor for the interaction between cardio-metabolic, social risk factors, and the development of cognitive impairment. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the existence of such interaction in a sample of Bogota's elderly population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,263 subjects older than 50 years. Each participant was diagnosed by consensus, after neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric evaluations, under a diagnosis of normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) according to Petersen's criteria, or dementia according to DSM-IV criteria. Apoϵ was typified and an analysis of MoCA test was performed in each group carrying or not ϵ4 allele. Results: Our study showed that 75% were women with a median age of 68 years (interquartile range 62-74 years) and a median schooling for 6 years (interquartile range 4-12 years). Dementia was related to low education level of ≤5 years OR=11.20 (95%CI 4.99-25.12), high blood pressure (HBP) OR=1.45 (95%CI 1.03-2.05), and age over 70 years OR=7.68 (95%CI 3.49-16.90), independently of being or not an ϵ4 allele carrier. Diabetic subjects with dementia carrying ϵ4 allele showed a tendency to exhibit lower scores on the MoCA test, when compared with noncarriers' diabetic subjects with dementia. Conclusions: The presence of ϵ4 allele does not modify the relationship between cognitive impairment and the different cardio-metabolic and social risk factors, except in diabetic subjects ϵ4 carriers with dementia who showed a tendency to exhibit lower scores of the MoCA test, when compared with noncarriers' diabetic subjects with dementia.


RESUMO Ser um portador ϵ4 no gene Apoϵ tem sido sugerido como um fator modificador da interação entre fatores cardiometabólicos, de risco social e o desenvolvimento de comprometimento cognitivo. Objetivo: O objetivo principal deste trabalho é avaliar a existência de tal interação em uma amostra da população idosa de Bogotá. Métodos: Um estudo transversal foi realizado com 1.263 indivíduos com mais de 50 anos. Cada participante foi diagnosticado por consenso após avaliações neuropsicológicas e neuropsiquiátricas, sob um diagnóstico de cognição normal, comprometimento cognitivo leve de acordo com os critérios de Petersen ou demência de acordo com os critérios do Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Trastornos Mentais (DSM-IV). Apoϵ4 foi tipificada e uma análise do Montréal Cognitive Assessment Test (teste de MoCA) foi realizada em cada grupo portador ou não do alelo ϵ4. Resultados: Nosso estudo mostrou que 75% eram mulheres com idade mediana de 68 anos (intervalo interquartil 62 a 74 anos) e escolaridade mediana de seis anos (intervalo interquartil 4 a 12 anos). A demência estava relacionada ao baixo nível de escolaridade ≤5 anos Odds Ratio (OR)=11,20 (intervalo de confiança — IC95% 4,99-25,12), pressão alta OR=1,45 (IC95% 1,03-2,05) e idade acima de 70 anos OR=7,68 (IC95% 3,49-16,90), independentemente de ser ou não portador do alelo ϵ4. Indivíduos diabéticos com demência portadores do alelo ϵ4 mostraram tendência de exibir pontuações mais baixas no teste MoCA quando comparados com indivíduos diabéticos com demência não portadores do alelo ϵ4. Conclusões: A presença do alelo ϵ4 não modifica a relação entre o comprometimento cognitivo e os diferentes fatores de risco cardiometabólico e social, exceto em diabéticos portadores de ϵ4 com demência, que exibiram tendência a apresentar menores escores no teste MoCA quando comparados com indivíduos diabéticos com demência não portadores do alelo ϵ4.
