Associação entre prática de atividade física e aptidão cardiorrespiratória em adolescentes / Association between physical activity practice and physical fitness in school adolescents

O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a associação entre diferentes volumes de atividade física moderada e/ou vigorosa durante o lazer e a aptidão cardiorrespiratória (ACR) adequada em adolescentes de ambos os sexos. A atividade física moderada (AFM), vigorosa (AFV ) ou moderada-vigorosa (AFMV) de lazer foi avaliada por meio de questionário e a ACR foi medida com o teste de vai-e-vem de 20m. Foram utilizados modelos de Regressão Poisson para análises. As AFM, AFV ou AFMV no lazer foram categorizadas de acordo com três limiares de atividade física no lazer (150, 300 e 420 min/sem). Foram consideras para as análises de associação as AFM, AFV e AFMV, de acordo com o compêndio de atividade físicas para adolescentes. A prática de AFMV no lazer por pelo menos 420 min/sem obteve a maior probabilidade de ACR adequada (RP = 2,03; IC95%: 1,18 ­ 3,51). Na mesma direção, a prática de AFV por pelo menos 150 min/sem também foi estatisticamente significativa (RP = 1,72; IC95%: 1,07 ­ 2,80). Os resultados indicaram uma associação positiva entre prática de atividade física no lazer e ACR, independentemente da intensidade e limiar de tempo, enfatizando que a participação em ambas as intensidades de atividade física no lazer estão associadas aos níveis adequados de aptidão cardiorrespiratória.

The aim of this study was to verify the association between different volumes of moderate and/or vigor-ous physical activity during leisure time and adequate cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescents of both sexes. Leisure-time moderate and/or vigorous physical activity (MPA, VPA, and MVPA) was assessed by means of a questionnaire and cardiorespiratory fitness was measured with the 20m back-and-forth test. Poisson regression models were used for analyses where moderate and/or vigorous physical activity in leisure time, it was categorized according to three thresholds of leisure-time physical activity (150, 300 and 420 min/week). The following factors were considered for the association analyses: MPA, VFA, and MVPA, according to the compendium of physical activity for adolescents. Leisure time MVPA for at least 420 min/week had the highest probability of adequate cardiorespiratory fitness (PR = 2.03; 95%CI: 1.18 ­ 3.51). In the same direction, the practice of VFA for at least 150 min/week was also statistically significant (PR = 1.72; 95%CI: 1.07 ­ 2.80). The results indicated a positive association between leisure time physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness, regardless of intensity and time threshold, emphasizing that participation in both modalities of leisure time physical activity can provide substantial benefits for cardiorespiratory fitness.

Capacity building in schistosomiasis control institutions in China: a cross-sectional study / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To understand the current status of capacity building in schistosomiasis control institutes in schistosomiasis-endemic provinces (municipality, autonomous region) of China. Methods The responsibilities and construction requirements of various schistosomiasis control institutions were surveyed by expert discussions, and field interviews and visits during the period between May and June, 2023, and the questionnaire for capacity maintenance and consolidation in schistosomiasis control institutions was designed. An online questionnaire survey was conducted in county-, municipal-, and provincial-level institutions that undertook schistosomiasis control and surveillance activities through the Wenjuanxing program. The distribution of schistosomiasis control institutions, the status of institutions, departments and staff undertaking schistosomiasis control activities and the translation of scientific researches on schistosomiasis control in China were analyzed. The laboratories accredited by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) were considered to be capable for testing associated with schistosomiasis control, and the testing capability of schistosomiasis control institutions was analyzed. Results A total of 486 valid questionnaires were recovered from 486 schistosomiasis control institutions in 12 endemic provinces (municipality, autonomous region) of China, including 12 provincial-level institutions (2.5%), 77 municipal-level institutions (15.8%) and 397 county-level institutions (81.7%). Of all schistosomiasis control institutions, 376 (77.4%) were centers for disease control and prevention or public health centers, 102 (21.0%) were institutions for schistosomiasis, endemic disease and parasitic disease control, and 8 (1.6%) were hospitals, healthcare centers or others. There were 37 713 active employees in the 486 schistosomiasis control institutions, including 5 675 employees related to schistosomiasis control, and the proportions of employees associated with schistosomiasis control among all active employees were 5.9% (231/3 897), 5.5% (566/10 134), and 20.6% (4 878/23 682) in provincial-, municipal-, and county-level institutions, respectively. There were 3 826 full-time employees working in schistosomiasis control activities, with 30.5% (1 166/3 826), 34.6% (1 324) and 34.9% (1 336/3 826) at ages of 40 years and below, 41 to 50 years and over 50 years, and there were 1 571 (41.0%) full-time schistosomiasis control employees with duration of schistosomiasis control activities for over 25 years, and 1 358 (35.5%) employees with junior professional titles and 1 290 with intermediate professional titles (35.5%), while 712 (18.6%) full-time employees working in schistosomiasis control activities had no professional titles. The three core schistosomiasis control activities included snail control (26.3%, 374/1 420), epidemics surveillance and management (25.4%, 361/1 420) and health education (18.8%, 267/1 420) in schistosomiasis control institutions. The Kato-Katz method, miracidium hatching test with nylon gauzes, and indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA) were the most commonly used techniques for detection of schistosomiasis, and there were less than 50% laboratories that had capabilities or experimental conditions for performing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dipstick dye immunoassay (DDIA), dot immunogold filtration assay (DIG-FA), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. During the period from 2018 to 2022, schistosomiasis control institutions had undertaken a total of 211 research projects for schistosomiasis control, with a total funding of 18.596 million RMB, published 619 articles, participated in formulation of 13 schistosomiasis control-related criteria, and applied for 113 schistosomiasis control-related patents, including 101 that were granted, and commercialized 4 scientific research outcomes. Conclusions The proportion of independent specialized schistosomiasis control institutions is low in schistosomiasis control institutions in China, which suffers from problems of unsatisfactory laboratory testing capabilities, aging of staff and a high proportion of low-level professional titles. More investment into and intensified schistosomiasis control activities and improved capability building and talent cultivation in schistosomiasis control institutions are recommended to provide a powerful support for high-quality elimination of schistosomiasis in China.

Association of Estimated Glucose Disposal Rate With the Stenosis Severity of Coronary Artery Disease： A Cross-sectional Study / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between estimated glucose disposal rate （eGDR） and the severity of coronary heart disease. MethodsWe conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study that included 1258 patients （mean age： 62（53-68） years） who underwent coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease （53.9% were male）. Insulin resistance level （IR） was calculated according to eGDR formula： eGDR = 21.158 - （0.09 × WC） - （3.407 × hypertension） - （0.551 × HbA1c） ［hypertension （yes = 1 / no = 0）， HbA1c = HbA1c （%）］. Subjects were grouped according to the eGDR quantile. CAD severity was determined by the number of narrowed vessels： no-obstructive CAD group （all coronary stenosis were<50%， n=704）， Single-vessel CAD group （only one involved major coronary artery stenosis≥50%， n=205）， Multi-vessel CAD group （two or more involved major coronary arteries stenosis≥50%， n=349）； Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between eGDR and CAD severity. The linear relationship between eGDR and CAD in the whole range of eGDR was analyzed using restricted cubic spline. Subgroup analyses were used to assess the association between eGDR and CAD severity in different diabetic states. Receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis were used to evaluate the value of eGDR in improving CAD recognition. ResultsA decrease in the eGDR index was significantly associated with an increased risk of CAD severity （OR： 2.79； 95%CI： 1.72~4.55； P<0.001）. In multivariate logistic regression models， individuals with the lowest quantile of eGDR （T1） were 2.79 times more likely to develop multi-vessel CAD than those with the highest quantile of eGDR （T3） （OR： 2.79； 95%CI： 1.72~4.55； P<0.001）. Multivariate restricted cubic spline analysis showed that eGDR was negatively associated with CAD and multi-vessel CAD （P-nonlinear>0.05）. In non-diabetic patients， compared with the reference group （T3）， the T1 group had a significantly increased risk of CAD （OR： 1.42； 95% CI： 1.00~2.01； P<0.05） and multi-vessel CAD （OR： 1.86； 95%CI： 1.21~2.86； P<0.05）. No statistical association was found between eGDR and CAD in diabetic patients. In ROC curve analysis， when eGDR was added to traditional model for CAD， significant improvements were observed in the model's recognition of CAD and multi-vessel CAD. ConclusionOur study shows eGDR levels are inversely associated with CAD and CAD severity. eGDR， as a non-insulin measure to assess IR， could be a valuable indicator of CAD severity for population.

Meta-analysis of Distribution Frequency of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome in Primary Osteoporosis / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） syndromes of primary osteoporosis（POP） in China by using evidence-based medicine methods， and to understand the distribution law of the syndromes. MethodChina National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI）， VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database（VIP）， WanFang Data Knowledge Service Platform（WanFang） and China Biology Medicine（CBM） were searched to obtain representative literature， and each database was searched from the 1994 World Health Organization defined diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis until May 1， 2023. Two researchers independently screened literature according to the criteria， extracted data， and cross-checked them. Meta analysis was conducted using R4.1.3， and subgroup analysis was performed. ResultA total of 56 Chinese papers were included， involving 14 415 patients. After standardized classification of syndromes， 11 articles were excluded， and Meta analysis results of the ultimately included 45 Chinese articles showed that the distribution frequencies of liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome， spleen-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome and kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in 12 723 patients were 27%［95% confidence interval（CI） 0.24-0.31］， 32%（95% CI 0.29-0.36）， 36%（95% CI 0.30-0.42）. Subgroup analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of the three TCM syndromes in the north and south（P<0.05）. In addition， the incidence of TCM syndrome fractures in different types of POP was 15%（95% CI 0.09-0.24） for liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome， 20%（95% CI 0.12-0.30） for spleen-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome， and 31%（95% CI 0.25-0.39） for kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. ConclusionThe distribution of syndromes in POP patients is mainly kidney deficiency， accompanied by liver and spleen dysfunction. Liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome， spleen-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome and kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome are all the main syndromes of POP and osteoporotic fractures， and kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome is most closely related to the development of osteoporotic fractures. The reference standards for syndrome determination among the included studies are inconsistent， and in the future， it is necessary to focus on their determination standards to obtain consensus research results， at the same time， conduct large-scale syndrome research to obtain representative research results， providing a basis for clinical practice and research.

Prevalence and factors associated with breastfeeding in the first hour of life: a cross-sectional study / Prevalencia y factores asociados a la lactancia en la primera hora de vida: estudio transversal / Prevalência e fatores associados à amamentação na primeira hora de vida: estudo transversal

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with breastfeeding in the first hour of life. Methods: Cross-sectional study made with postpartum women who were patients at public maternity hospitals in the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, between 2020-2021. Aspects such as sociodemographic and behavioral data of the woman and her intimate partner, obstetric characteristics, in addition to intimate partner violence during pregnancy were evaluated. A hierarchical analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression, in which the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI95%) were calculated. Results: 413 women were interviewed. There was a 66.8% prevalence of breastfeeding in the first hour of life. Factors such as the presence of a companion (AOR=1.66; CI95% 1.34-2.29), skin-to-skin contact with the newborn (AOR=2.14; CI95% 1.04-4.38) and experiencing a natural birth (AOR=2.06; CI95% 1.90-4.73) increased the chances of breastfeeding in the first hour. The lack of a partner (AOR=0.47; CI95% 0.25-0.86) and having a non-white partner (AOR=0.45; CI95% 0.24-0.83) were factors that decreased the chances of breastfeeding. Conclusions: The prevalence of breastfeeding in the first hour of life was considered good. Obstetric and childbirth care factors contributed positively to the practice of breastfeeding. The collected data reinforce the importance of offering quality assistance during the parturition process.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar la prevalencia y los factores asociados a la lactancia materna en la primera hora de vida. Método: Estudio transversal con puérperas de maternidades públicas de Teresina, Piauí, Brasil, entre 2020 y 2021. Se evaluaron datos sociodemográficos y conductuales de la mujer y su pareja, características obstétricas, además de la violencia de pareja durante el embarazo. El análisis jerárquico se realizó mediante regresión logística múltiple, con cálculo de odds ratio ajustado (ORaj) e intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC95%). Resultados: se entrevistó a 413 mujeres. Hubo una prevalencia de lactancia materna en la primera hora de vida del 66,8%. La presencia de acompañante (ORaj=1,66; IC95% 1,34-2,29), el contacto piel con piel con el recién nacido (ORaj=2,14; IC95% 1,04-4,38) y haber tenido un parto natural (ORaj=2,06; IC95% 1,90-4,73) aumentaron las posibilidades de amamantamiento en la primera hora. La falta de pareja (ORaj=0,47; IC95% 0,25-0,86) y la pareja con piel no blanca (ORaj=0,45; IC95% 0,24-0,83) disminuyeron las posibilidades de lactancia materna. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de lactancia materna en la primera hora de vida se consideró buena. Los factores relacionados con la atención obstétrica y con el parto contribuyeron positivamente a la lactancia materna. Los datos refuerzan la importancia de ofrecer una asistencia de calidad durante el proceso de parto.

Self-perception of need to replace dentures and oral health-related quality of life: cross-sectional study nested in a Cohort in Southern Brazil

Aim: With the significant increase in life expectancy over the last decades, it is important to understand how oral health can impact the oral health-related quality of life of older adults. This study aimed to investigate the association between need to replace dentures and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among older adults belonging to a Cohort in southern Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with data from the 2019 Pelotas Elderly Cohort. The OHRQoL was assessed using the GOHAI. Need to replace dentures was self-report using a question dichotomized into yes/no. In the statistical analysis, unadjusted and adjusted models estimate from linear regression models were calculated. The significance level adopted was 5%. Results: A total of 493 older adults were included. On the GOHAI questionnaire, the mean score was 32.74 (SD±0.16). Individuals considering need of prosthesis replacement were 47.89%. Report of need to replace dentures was associated to lowest mean on the GOHAI score (ß -1.14; 95%CI - 1.80; -0.478, and on the physical (ß -0.56; 95%CI - 0.94 -0.17) and psychosocial (ß -0.48; 95%CI - 0.74; -0.22) dimensions. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of also considering subjective measures of oral health in the dental care of older adults, since reporting the need for denture replacement, regardless of the reason, was associated with a worse oral health-related quality of life, including physical and psychosocial aspects

Oral health-related quality of life in the LGBTIQ+ population: a cross-sectional study

Abstract The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the associations between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and socioeconomic and demographic variables, suicidal ideation, self-perception of oral health, and experiences of dental care in the Brazilian adult LGBTIQ+ population. A sample of 464 participants completed self-administered online questionnaires and provided information for OHRQoL assessment, using the OHIP-14 instrument at three hierarchical levels of explanatory variables: LGBTIQ+ identities; socioeconomic and demographic data and existential suffering; and self-perception of oral health and experience of dental care. The collected data were fitted to hierarchical multiple logistic regression models, in which the associations between each independent variable with the OHIP-14 prevalence outcome were analyzed. The OHIP-14-prevalence index showed that 33.2% of the participants answered 'frequently' or 'always', and the highest frequencies were obtained for the psychological discomfort (27.8%), psychological disability (18.3%), and physical pain (17.5%) domains. According to the adjusted final model, LGBTIQ+ individuals who were more likely to have their OHRQoL affected were those who were indifferent (OR=3.21; 95% CI: 1.26-8.20), dissatisfied (OR=10.45; 95% CI: 3.86-28.26), or very dissatisfied (OR=53.93; 95% CI: 12.12-239.93) with their oral health status, and also those who had or have difficulty accessing dental treatment (OR=2.06; 95% CI: 1.24-3.41) (p<0.05). It may be concluded that the OHRQoL of the investigated Brazilian LGBTIQ+ population showed associations with individual aspects and with access to dental services.

Association between job lost and mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of food insecurity as mediator of this relationship / Associação entre perda de emprego e desfechos de saúde mental durante a pandemia de COVID-19 e o papel da insegurança alimentar como mediadora dessa relação / Asociación entre la pérdida de empleo y los resultados de salud mental durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y el papel de la inseguridad alimentaria como mediador de esta relación

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the association between employment status and mental health, considering food insecurity as a mediator of this relation. A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted with adults (≥ 18 and < 60 years) during the COVID-19 outbreak in two cities from Southern Brazil. Employment status was categorized into working, not working, and lost job. The mental health outcomes evaluated were depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and sadness. Food insecurity was identified by the short-form version of the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. Adjusted analyses using Poisson regression were performed to assess the association between employment status and mental health. Mediation analysis was performed to investigate the direct and indirect effects of employment status on mental health outcomes. In total, 1,492 adults were analyzed. The not working status was associated with 53% and 74% higher odds of perceived stress and of sadness, respectively. Being dismissed during the pandemic increased the odds of depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and sadness by 68%, 123%, and 128%, respectively. Mediation analyses showed that food insecurity was an important mediator of the association between employment status and depressive symptoms and sadness, but not of perceived stress. The complexity of these results highlights economic and nutritional aspects involved in mental health outcomes.

Resumo: O objetivo foi avaliar a associação entre situação de trabalho e saúde mental e o papel da insegurança alimentar como mediadora dessa relação. Um estudo transversal de base populacional foi conduzido com adultos (≥ 18 e < 60 anos) durante o surto de COVID-19 em duas cidades do Sul do Brasil. A situação de trabalho foi categorizada em trabalhando, não trabalhando e perda do emprego. Os desfechos de saúde mental avaliados foram sintomas depressivos, percepção de estresse e sentimento de tristeza. A insegurança alimentar foi identificada pela versão reduzida da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. Análises ajustadas por regressão de Poisson foram realizadas para avaliar a associação entre situação de trabalho e saúde mental. A análise de mediação foi realizada para investigar os efeitos diretos e indiretos da situação de trabalho sobre os desfechos de saúde mental. No total, foram analisados 1.492 adultos. Não trabalhar associou-se a 53% mais chances de percepção de estresse e 74% maiores de tristeza. A perda do emprego aumentou as chances de sintomas depressivos, estresse percebido e sentimento de tristeza em 68%, 123% e 128%, respectivamente. As análises de mediação mostraram que a insegurança alimentar foi um importante mediador da associação entre situação de trabalho e sintomas depressivos e sentimento de tristeza, mas não para o estresse percebido. A complexidade desses resultados destaca aspectos econômicos e nutricionais envolvidos nos desfechos em saúde mental.

Resumen: El objetivo fue evaluar la asociación entre la situación laboral y la salud mental y el papel de la inseguridad alimentaria como mediador en esta relación. Se realizó un estudio transversal basado en la población con adultos (≥ 18 y < 60 años) durante el brote de COVID-19 en dos ciudades del Sur de Brasil. La situación laboral se clasificó en trabajando, no trabajando y pérdida de empleo. Los resultados de salud mental evaluados fueron síntomas depresivos, percepción de estrés y sensación de tristeza. La inseguridad alimentaria fue identificada por la versión reducida de la Escala Brasileña de Inseguridad Alimentaria. Se realizaron análisis ajustados por regresión de Poisson para evaluar la asociación entre la situación laboral y la salud mental. Se realizó un análisis de mediación para investigar los efectos directos e indirectos de la situación laboral en los resultados de salud mental. En total, se analizaron 1.492 adultos. No trabajar se asoció con un 53% más de probabilidades de percepción de estrés y un 74% más de probabilidades de tristeza. La pérdida del trabajo aumentó las probabilidades de síntomas depresivos, estrés percibido y sentimientos de tristeza en un 68%, 123% y 128%, respectivamente. Los análisis de mediación mostraron que la inseguridad alimentaria era un mediador importante de la asociación entre la situación laboral y los síntomas depresivos y los sentimientos de tristeza, pero no para el estrés percibido. La complejidad de estos resultados destaca los aspectos económicos y nutricionales que intervienen en los resultados de salud mental.

Prevalence and Associated Factors to Non-Carious Cervical Lesions in Brazilian University Students: A Cross-Sectional Survey

Abstract Objective: To identify the prevalence, severity, hypersensitivity, and distribution of Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) among university students in Brazil. Material and Methods: 179 participants answered an anamnesis with twenty questions about the presence or absence of habits associated with NCCL. The participants' teeth were evaluated to identify the presence or absence of the lesion, its classification, involved surfaces, severity, hypersensitivity, and tooth wear index. A hypersensitivity test was performed with ice water. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and simple logistic regression (p<0.01). Results: 179 participants answered an anamnesis with twenty questions about the presence or absence of habits associated with NCCL. The participants' teeth were evaluated to identify the presence or absence of the lesion, its classification, involved surfaces, severity, hypersensitivity, and tooth wear index. A hypersensitivity test was performed with ice water. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and simple logistic regression (p<0.01). Conclusion: The prevalence of NCCL was 15.1% and abfraction was the most frequent lesion. Premolars were the teeth most affected by non-carious cervical lesions.

Tempo de tela, qualidade da dieta de adolescentes e características do entorno escolar / Screen time, quality of the adolescent diet, and profile of the school environment

Resumo Objetivou-se investigar a associação entre o tempo de uso excessivo de diferentes telas, a qualidade da dieta em adolescentes e características do entorno escolar. Adolescentes de 30 escolas estaduais de Curitiba/PR relataram tempo de tela: televisão, videogame e portáteis. A qualidade da dieta foi avaliada pela frequência de consumo de alimentos. A renda do entorno escolar foi obtida do Censo. O ambiente construído para atividade física investigado por observação sistemática do entorno escolar. A regressão de Poisson multinível foi empregada para estimar associações com as variáveis de exposição. Entre 1.200 adolescentes, 50,9% do sexo masculino, 74,4% tiveram tempo excessivo de tela. O tempo excessivo de TV (56,5%) esteve associado à pior qualidade da alimentação. O tempo excessivo de videogame (22,0%) foi menor no sexo feminino (RP 0,25; IC95% 0,18;0,36), associado à pior qualidade da alimentação, à menor renda do entorno escolar, e à pior classificação do ambiente construído para atividade física. O tempo excessivo de telas portáteis (53,2%) apresentou tendência de aumento com a renda do entorno escolar. O uso excessivo de TV e telas portáteis foi amplamente praticado por adolescentes, com diferentes variáveis demográficas e contextuais associadas de acordo com o tipo de dispositivo utilizado.

Abstract Adolescents from 30 state schools in Curitiba, State of Paraná, reported total screen time, namely television, video games and laptops. Diet quality was assessed by the frequency of food consumption. The income of the school environment was taken from the Census. The built environment for physical activity was investigated by systematic observation of the school surroundings. Multilevel Poisson Regression was used to estimate associations with the exposure variables. Among 1,200 adolescents, 50.9% being male, and 74.4% were found to be exposed to excessive screen time. Excessive TV screen time (56.5%) was associated with poor diet quality. Excessive video game time (22.0%) was lower among females (PR 0.25; 95%CI 0.18;0.36), associated with poor diet quality, lower school environment income, and the worst classification of the built environment for physical activity. Excessive use of portable screens (53.2%) tended to increase with the income of the school environment. Excessive use of TV and laptops was widespread among adolescents, with different demographic and contextual variables associated according to the type of device used.

Insatisfação com a imagem corporal e baixa aderência ao padrão alimentar ocidental em escolares: um estudo transversal / Body image dissatisfaction and low adherence to the Western dietary standard among schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study

Resumo Este estudo objetivou identificar padrões alimentares e avaliar a associação entre percepção da imagem corporal e esses padrões em escolares. Um estudo transversal foi conduzido em 385 escolares (ambos os sexos, 10-17 anos de idade) de 4 escolas públicas de Salvador, Brasil. Dois recordatórios alimentares de 24h não consecutivos foram aplicados e o padrão alimentar foi determinado por Análise Fatorial Exploratória, após ajuste dos dados dietéticos pelo Multiple Source Method. Para avaliar percepção da imagem corporal, nós usamos uma escala brasileira de silhuetas. Avaliamos as associações entre percepção da imagem corporal e padrões alimentares usando o modelo de regressão logística politômica ajustado para covariáveis. Três padrões alimentares foram obtidos: "padrão ocidental", "padrão saudável" e "comidas típicas/junk food". Após ajuste, adolescentes que desejavam uma silhueta menor (2,48 [IC95%: 1,04-6,11], 3,49 [IC95%: 1,35-9,05] e 2,87 [IC95%: 1,13-7,26]) tinham mais chances de aderir aos quintis de menor consumo do padrão ocidental, comparados àqueles satisfeitos com sua imagem corporal. Nenhuma associação foi identificada nos outros dois padrões alimentares. Adolescentes insatisfeitos com seus corpos tendem a aderir menos a padrões alimentares não saudáveis.

Abstract This study aimed to identify dietary patterns and to evaluate the association between body image perception and these patterns among schoolchildren. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 385 schoolchildren (both sexes, 10-17 years old) from four public schools in Salvador, Brazil. Two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls were applied, and the dietary pattern was determined by Exploratory Factor Analysis after adjustment of dietary data using the Multiple Source Method. To evaluate body image perception, the Brazilian body shape silhouette was used. The associations between body image perception and dietary patterns using the polytomous logistic regression model adjusted for covariables was assessed. Three dietary patterns were obtained: "Western standard," unhealthy, "healthy pattern" and "typical dishes/ junk food." After adjustment, adolescents who wished for a slimmer silhouette (2.48 [95%CI: 1.04-6.11], 3.49 [95%CI: 1.35-9.05] and 2.87 [95%CI: 1.13-7.26]) were more likely to adhere to the quintiles with the lowest consumption of the Western standard, compared to those satisfied with their body image. No associations were identified in the other two dietary patterns. Adolescents dissatisfied with their bodies tend to adhere less to unhealthy dietary patterns.

Abstract Objective: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with poor self-rated health according to respondents' sex in Manaus, Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional population-based study with adults in Manaus in 2019. Adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using Poisson regression following a hierarchical model. Results: Poor self-rated health occurred in 35.2% (95%CI 33.3;37.2) of the 2,321 participants and was higher in females (PR = 1.27; 95%CI 1.13;1.43). In the general population, among both sexes, poor self-rated health was higher among the oldest, those with moderate and severe food insecurity and with chronic diseases (p-value < 0.05). Among females, poor health was also higher among the evangelical and those with mild food insecurity. Among males, self-rated health was also poorer among the retired and those with education below elementary level (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion: The female sex had the poorest health rating, influenced by morbidity and access to food.

The pain reported by postpartum women in rooming-in according to the mode of delivery / Dor relatada por puérperas no alojamento conjunto segundo a via de nascimento

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain is the most frequently reported symptom in the immediate puerperium. The aim of this study was to quantify pain levels and sociodemographic, obstetric, and care characteristics associated with severe pain and inadequate analgesia according to the mode of delivery. METHODS: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted between October and December 2020, with a sample of 229 postpartum women considered eligible (baby born alive, weighing > 500 g and/or gestational age > 22 weeks) to answer the study questionnaire. RESULTS: The mean reported pain was 5.34 by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and there was a difference (p<0.001) between modes of delivery. Cesarean section was associated with severe pain (p=0.006) and pain above eight on the VAS (p=0.02). Vaginal delivery was associated with the perception of inadequate analgesia (p=0.04). Severe pain reported was associated with the admission of the baby to the ICU (p=0.01) and cases of postpartum hemorrhage (p=0.002). Among women who gave birth vaginally, there was an association between severe pain and instrumental delivery (p=0.05). Reported severe pain was associated with difficulties in self-care (p<0.001) and care of the newborn (p= 0.02), sensation of weakness (p<0.001), and fainting (p=0.002). The perception of inadequate analgesia was associated with vaginal birth (p=0.04) end non-white skin color (p=0,03). CONCLUSION: The average reported pain was moderate. Intense pain and the perception of inadequate analgesia were associated with instrumental delivery, newborns being referred to the NICU, postpartum hemorrhage, and non-white skin color.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A dor é o sintoma mais frequentemente relatado no puerpério imediato. O objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar os níveis de dor e as características sociodemográficas, obstétricas e da assistência associadas à dor intensa e à percepção de analgesia inadequada segundo a via de nascimento. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal, conduzido entre outubro e dezembro de 2020, com uma amostra de 229 puérperas consideradas elegíveis (nativivos com peso > 500g e/ou idade gestacional > 22 semanas) para responder ao questionário do estudo. RESULTADOS: A média de dor relatada foi 5,3 pela Escala Analógica Visual (EAV) e houve diferença (p<0,001) entre as vias de nascimento. A cesariana apresentou associação com dor intensa referida (p=0,006) e dor acima de oito pela EAV (p=0,02). O parto vaginal obteve associação com percepção de analgesia inadequada (p=0,04). Entre as mulheres que referiram dor intensa, houve associação com recém-nascido encaminhado à unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal (UTIN) (p=0,01) e nos casos de hemorragia pós-parto (p=0,002). Entre as mulheres que tiveram parto vaginal, também houve associação entre dor intensa e o parto instrumental (p=0,05). Dor intensa referida teve associação com dificuldades para o autocuidado (p<0,001) e do recém-nascido (p=0,02), sensação de fraqueza (p<0,001) e de desmaio (p= 0,002). A percepção de analgesia inadequada esteve associada a parto vaginal (p=0,04) e cor da pele não branca (p=0,03). CONCLUSÃO: A média de dor relatada foi moderada.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain generates negative consequences in the personal and social life of individuals. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between musculoskeletal pain and individual and contextual aspects in adults in the south of Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of a population-based cohort study (n=571). Musculoskeletal pain was assessed using the adapted and translated version for Brazil of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). In the multivariable analysis, the variables were adjusted for each other taking into account the two levels: contextual and individual. RESULTS: The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was 71.1% (95% CI: 66.4-75.4). In the adjusted analysis, the following were associated with greater musculoskeletal pain at the contextual level: lower income, lower social support from the neighborhood and lower social action. At the individual level, sex (female), older age, lower education, lower social support and morbidities (≥ 3) were associated. CONCLUSION: The present research findings showed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain. Social action at the contextual level remained in the model after adjustment, this association suggests the contribution of socio-environmental factors to health outcomes.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A dor gera consequências negativas na vida pessoal e social dos indivíduos. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a associação entre dor osteomuscular e aspectos individuais e contextuais em adultos do sul do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Análise transversal de um estudo de coorte de base populacional (n=571). A dor osteomuscular foi avaliada através da versão adaptada e traduzida para o Brasil do Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares (QNSO). Na análise multivariável, as variáveis foram ajustadas entre si levando em consideração os dois níveis: contextual e individual. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de dor osteomuscular foi de 71,1% (IC 95%:66,4-75,4). Na análise ajustada estiveram associados a maior dor osteomuscular em nível contextual: menor renda, menor apoio social da vizinhança e menor ação social. Em nível individual estiveram associados o sexo (feminino), maior idade, menor escolaridade, menor apoio social e morbidades (≥3). CONCLUSÃO: Os achados desta pesquisa evidenciaram alta prevalência de dor osteomuscular. A ação social no nível contextual permaneceu no modelo após ajustamento, essa associação sugere a contribuição dos fatores socioambientais em desfechos de saúde.
