ABSTRACT
Analisar o comportamento da razão de mortalidade materna de 2012 a 2021, na Região Norte do Brasil. Estudo ecológico descritivo de base populacional e série temporal, de 2012 a 2021, com dados secundários da Região Norte do Brasil, disponíveis no Painel de Monitoramento de Mortalidade Materna e Nascidos Vivos. Entre 2012 e 2019, na Região Norte, a média da razão de mortalidade materna foi 72,19, mas, com a pandemia de COVID-19, elevou-se consideravelmente, sendo 92,16 em 2020 e 164 em 2021. Roraima apresentou a maior mortalidade materna na pandemia, em fevereiro de 2021 (705,65). Neste ano, o colapso do sistema de saúde do Amazonas impactou a razão de mortalidade materna, que foi 436,90 em fevereiro de 2021.A COVID-19 colaborou com o aumento da mortalidade materna, evidenciando desigualdades interestaduais e vulnerabilidades na assistência pré-natal, na infraestrutura hospitalar e socioeconômica da Região Norte, especialmente em Roraima e Amazonas.
To analyze the behavior of the maternal mortality ratio from 2012 to 2021 in the North Region of Brazil. Population-based descriptive ecological study and time series, from 2012 to 2021, with secondary data from the Northern Region of Brazil, available on the Monitoring Panel for Maternal Mortality and Live Births. Between 2012 and 2019, in the North Region, the average maternal mortality ratio was 72.19, but, with the COVID-19 pandemic, it increased considerably, being 92.16 in 2020 and 164 in 2021. Roraima presented higher maternal mortality in the pandemic, in February 2021 (705.65). That year, the collapse of the health system in Amazonas affected the maternal mortality ratio, which was 436.90 in February 2021.COVID-19 collaborated with the increase in maternal mortality, highlighting interstate inequalities and vulnerabilities in prenatal care, hospital, and socioeconomic infrastructure in the North Region, especially in Roraima and Amazonas.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to analyze the phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and the main nutritional components of different colored-fleshed sweet potato genotypes grown in Argentina. Three cultivars of standard size were compared to undersized ones, currently discarded. Furthermore, four genotypes grown in different agroecological locations in Tucuman, Argentina, were evaluated. Chlorogenic and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acids were identified as the prevailing phenolic compounds in all samples. Undersized roots had significantly higher phenolics, antioxidant activity and carotenoids than standard. Therefore, they can confer healthy attributes to processed foods and, additionally, reduce waste. Genotypes from Tucuman grown under water stress conditions presented the lowest phenolics, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity, but the highest carotenoid contents. Orange-fleshed cultivars showed the highest protein percentages (6.0-11.7 %) and carotenoid contents ranging between 310 and 1012 µg ß-carotene/g dw, with more than 90 % ß-carotene. These findings could help to promote the cultivation of local genotypes with high added value.
