ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with self-reported arterial hypertension, as well as its prevalence in the Brazilian adult population. METHODS: Data from 88,531 individuals aged 18 years or older who responded to the 2019 National Health Survey were analyzed. The outcome studied was self-reported arterial hypertension. Sociodemographic variables and clinical and lifestyle conditions were considered as exposures. The prevalence ratio (PR), crude and adjusted for sex, age, and schooling was used as a measure of association to verify the factors related to its prevalence, obtained by Poisson regression with robust variance. RESULTS: The prevalence of self-reported arterial hypertension was of 23.9% (95%CI: 23.4-24.4). When adjusting for age, sex, and schooling, the adjusted Prevalence Ratios (APR) were higher among: regular health self-assessment (APR = 1.6; 95%CI: 1.5-1.6) and bad health self-assessment (APR = 1.7; 95%CI: 1.6-1.8); self-reference to heart disease (APR = 1.7; 95%CI: 1.6-1.7), diabetes (APR = 1.7; 95%CI: 1.6-1.8), high cholesterol (APR = 1.6; 95%CI: 1.6-1.7), overweight (APR = 1.4; 95%CI: 1.4-1.5), and obesity (APR = 2.0; 95%CI: 1.9-2.1); high salt intake (APR = 1.1; 95%CI: 1.0-1.1); higher among former smokers (APR = 1.1; 95%CI: 1.1-1.2) and lower among smokers (APR = 0.9; 95%CI: 0.8-0.9); and consumption of ultra-processed foods (APR = 0.9; 95%CI: 0.8-0.9). CONCLUSION: A quarter of the Brazilian adult population claims to have arterial hypertension, more prevalent among women and associated with older age groups, Black, mixed-race, and others, low schooling, high salt intake, former smoking, presence of comorbidities, and worse health self-assessment.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Analisar os fatores associados à hipertensão arterial autorreferida, bem como sua prevalência, na população de adultos brasileiros. MÉTODOS Foram analisados dados de 88.531 indivíduos de 18 anos ou mais que responderam à Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2019. O desfecho estudado foi a hipertensão arterial autorreferida. Como exposições, foram consideradas variáveis sociodemográficas, condições clínicas e de estilo de vida. Para verificar os fatores associados à prevalência, usou-se como medida de associação a razão de prevalência (RP) bruta e ajustada por sexo, idade e escolaridade, obtidas por meio da Regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. RESULTADOS A prevalência da hipertensão arterial autorreferida foi de 23,9% (IC95% 23,4-24,4). Ao ajustar por idade, sexo e escolaridade, as Razões de Prevalência ajustadas (RPaj) foram mais elevadas entre: auto avaliação de saúde regular (RPaj = 1,6; IC95% 1,5-1,6) e ruim (RPaj = 1,7; IC95% 1,6-1,8); autorreferência a doença do coração (RPaj = 1,7; IC95% 1,6-1,7), diabetes (RPaj = 1,7; IC95% 1,6-1,8), colesterol elevado (RPaj = 1,6; IC95% 1,6-1,7), sobrepeso (RPaj = 1,4; IC95% 1,4-1,5) e obesidade (RPaj = 2,0; IC95% 1,9-2,1); consumo elevado de sal (RPaj = 1,1; IC95% 1,0-1,1); entre ex-fumantes (RPaj = 1,1; IC95% 1,1-1,2) e menor entre fumantes (RPaj = 0,9; IC95% 0,8-0,9) e consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados (RPaj = 0,9; IC95% 0,8-0,9). CONCLUSÃO Um quarto da população adulta brasileira afirma ter hipertensão arterial, de forma mais prevalente entre as mulheres e associada às maiores faixas etárias, cor da pele/raça preta, parda e outras, baixa escolaridade, consumo elevado de sal, ex-tabagismo, presença de comorbidades e pior autoavaliação de saúde.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: verificar a prevalência de incapacidade funcional para realização de atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária em idosos. Métodos: estudo transversal que utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, cuja amostra foi de 7.373 idosos. Resultados: a prevalência de incapacidade funcional para atividades básicas e instrumentais foi de 8,4% (Intervalo de Confiança 95,0%: 7,4-9,4) e 22,0% (Intervalo de Confiança 95,0%: 20,4- 23,6), respectivamente, sendo maior no sexo feminino, naqueles mais longevos (>75) e sem níveis de instrução. Aspectos demográficos, como menor faixa etária e sexo masculino, atenuaram a prevalência de incapacidade. Conclusão: os idosos apresentaram maior prevalência de incapacidade funcional para as atividades instrumentais tais como, fazer compras, administrar finanças, tomar remédios e sair sozinho.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to assess the LEPR gene Gln223Arg polymorphism (rs1137101) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and in potentially malignant oral lesions (PMOL) in comparison to normal oral mucosa in a Brazilian population. Smokers (n = 89) were selected from a representative sample of 471 individuals from the general population of Montes Claros, Brazil. Participants were age and gender matched to patients with OSCC (n = 25) and oral epithelial dysplasia (n = 25). We investigated the LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphism (A>G; rs1137101) in these groups. Genotype variants were assessed by RFLP-PCR, using MspI (HPAII) restriction endonuclease. The institutional review board of the Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros approved the study (process number 2667/2011). Written informed consent for this study was obtained from all participants. The GG genotype (Arg223Arg) appears to be the more relevant polymorphic variant in OSCC. It occurred, approximately, twice as frequently in OSCC patients than in the general population. In contrast, the A allele in its homozygosis form (Gln223Gln) is significantly associated with the development of PMOL; 80% of the samples from the PMOL group exhibit AA genotype. Our findings suggest new insights regarding LEPR gene variations in the development of OSCC and PMOL.

ABSTRACT

This study examines the relative contribution of age-specific total IgE levels, eosinophils and water contact behavior to the prevalence and intensity (geometric mean egg counts) of Schistosoma mansoni infection in the poor rural population of Virgem das Graças in northern Minas Gerais State. In bivariate analysis, age was strongly correlated with both prevalence and intensity of infection, while eosinophil levels with prevalence only (p<0.0001); IgE levels and 5 demographic and socioeconomic variables were moderately correlated with prevalence (p<0.05), as were number of persons per room and TBM (total body minutes) with egg counts. In multivariate analysis, after controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors, only total IgE levels were significantly correlated with both prevalence (p=0.248, 95% CI=1.01-1.11) and intensity (p=0.0217, 95% CI=0.01-0.14) of infection and eosinophil levels with prevalence (p=0.0005, 95% CI=1.07-1.24). Although any causal relationship cannot be confirmed by a cross-sectional study, we demonstrated an associated decrease in prevalence and intensity of S. mansoni infection with increased IgE levels.

ABSTRACT

Neste estudo, teve-se como objetivo testar associação entre fatores socioeconômicos, de estilo de vida, reprodutivos e clínicos, bem como a presença simultânea de obesidade central e global, em mulheres. Foi usado o delineamento de estudo caso-controle para verificar a associação entre as variáveis independentes e a dependente, por meio de regressão logística multivariada, e a força de associação foi estimada por meio dos Odds Ratio e seus intervalos de confiança. Permaneceram significantes para esse tipo de obesidade: idade (OR 3,772 - faixa etária 30-39 anos; OR 15,769 - faixa etária 50-65 anos), baixa renda (OR 2,422), baixa escolaridade (OR 2,937), menarca com 12 anos ou mais, confere efeito protetor (OR 0,409; IC95% 0,214-0,784), alta paridade (OR 6,795; IC95%3,137-14,717), obesidade materna (OR 2,867; IC95%1,623-5,065) e hipertensão diastólica (OR 5,251; IC95% 2,132-12,933). A baixa escolaridade, baixa renda e alta paridade foram significativamente associadas à condição de obesidade centralizada e global no grupo de mulheres estudadas.


Relationships between social-economics factors, lifestyle, reproductive and hypertension with central obesity and global overweight in women were studied by case-control study. Odds Ratio and confidence interval of 95% was estimated by logistic regression. Adjusted analysis shown: age (OR =3.772 - ages 30-39, OR= 15.769 ages-50-65), low income (OR= 2.422), low schooling (OR= 2.937), menarche at 12 (OR 0.409: IC95% 0.214-0.784), high parity (OR 6.795; IC95% 3.137-14.717), mother overweight (OR 2.867; IC95% 1.623-5.065) and diastolic hypertension (OR 5.251; IC95% 2.132-12.933), were associated to global obesity. Women with less schooling and income and high parity were significantly associated to high waist circumference and high body mass index


El objeto del presente estudio fue comprobar la asociación entre factores socio-económicos, de estilo de vida,reproductivos y clínicos y la presencia simultánea de obesidad central y global en mujeres. Se aplicó el estudio de caso - control para verificar la asociación entre las variables independientes y la dependiente, con regresión logística multivariada. La fuerza de asociación fue estimada por medio de odds ratio y sus intervalos de confianza. Permanecieron significantes para este tipo de obesidad: edad (OR= 3,772 - rango de edad 30-39 años, OR 15,769 - rango de edad 50-65 años), bajos ingresos (OR = 2,422), baja escolaridad (OR= 2,937), menarquia a los 12 años o más confiere efecto protector (OR=0,409: IC95% 0,214-0,784), alta paridad (OR 6,795; IC95% 3,137-14,717), obesidad materna (OR= 2,867; IC95% 1,623-% 5,065) e hipertensión diastólica (OR= 5,251; IC95% 2,132-12,933). Baja escolaridad, bajos ingresos y alta paridad son los factores que más se asociaron a la obesidad central y global en el grupo de mujeres objeto de estudio.

ABSTRACT

Objetiva avaliar os níveis plasmáticos de vitamina A, carotenóides e proteína ligadora de retinol (RBP) em 311 crianças, de 7 meses a onze anos de idade, com história de infecçöes das vias aéreas superiores (IVAS), pneumonia e diarréia, residentes na área urbana da cidade de Säo Paulo, Brasil, e atendidas no serviço de pediatria de um hospital-escola. As dosagens de vitamina A e carotenóides realizaram-se pelo método de Neeld-Pearson e o RBP pelo método de Mancini. Os níveis plasmáticos de vitamina A (mg/dl) e RBP (mg/dl) foram mais baixos (p<0,05) nos grupos diarréia e pneumonia (15,2 mg/dl e 1,7 mg/dl; 15,2 mg/dl; 2,6 mg/dl, respectivamente), quando comparados com os grupos IVAS e testemunha (19,0 mg/dl; 2,4 mg/dl e 18,8 mg/dl; 2,6 mg/dl, respectivamente. Os níveis de carotenóides foram mais baixos nos três grupos de estudo em relaçäo ao grupo testenhuma (p<0,05). Os baixos níveis de vitamina A verificados nas crianças estudadas estäo em concordância com outras pesquisas que encontraram diminuiçäo dos níveis de vitamina A durante as infecçöes
