Prevalence of adult smokers in Brazilian capitals according to socioeconomic deprivation.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of adult smokers in the 26 capitals and the Federal District according to the Brazilian Deprivation Index (Índice Brasileiro de Privação - IBP). METHODS: Dataset on smoking were obtained from the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Noncommunicable Diseases by Survey (Vigitel) system for the 26 capitals and the Federal District, in the period from 2010 to 2013. The IBP classifies the census sectors according to indicators such as: income less than ½ minimum wage, illiterate population and without sanitary sewage. In the North and Northeast regions, the census sectors were grouped into four categories (low, medium, high and very high deprivation) and in the South, Southeast and Midwest regions into three (low, medium and high deprivation). Prevalence estimates of adult smokers were obtained using the indirect estimation method in small areas. To calculate the prevalence ratios, Poisson models are used. RESULTS: The positive association between prevalence and deprivation of census sector categories was found in 16 (59.3%) of the 27 cities. In nine (33.3%) cities, the sectors with the greatest deprivation had a higher prevalence of smokers when compared to those with the least deprivation, and in two (7.4%) there were no differences. In Aracaju, Belém, Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Macapá and Salvador, the prevalence of adult smokers was three times higher in the group of sectors with greater deprivation compared to those with less deprivation. CONCLUSION: Sectors with greater social deprivation had a higher prevalence of smoking, compared with less deprivation, pointing to social inequalities.

Arterial hypertension and associated factors: National Health Survey, 2019.

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: Estimar as prevalências de adultos fumante nas 26 capitais e no Distrito Federal segundo o Índice Brasileiro de Privação. Métodos: Os dados sobre tabagismo foram obtidos junto ao sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito (Vigitel) para as 26 capitais e o Distrito Federal, no período de 2010 a 2013. O Índice Brasileiro de Privação classifica os setores censitários segundo indicadores como: renda menor que meio salário mínimo, população não alfabetizada e sem esgotamento sanitário. Nas regiões Norte e Nordeste, os setores censitários foram agrupados em quatro categorias (baixa, média, alta e muito alta privação) e, nas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste, em três (baixa, média e alta privação). As estimativas de prevalências de adultos fumantes foram obtidas pelo método indireto de estimação em pequenas áreas. Para o cálculo das razões de prevalências, empregram-se modelos de Poisson. Resultados: A associação positiva entre a prevalência e a privação das categorias de setores censitários foi encontrada em 16 (59,3%) das 27 cidades. Em nove (33,3%) cidades, os setores de maior privação apresentaram maior prevalência de fumantes quando comparados aos de menor privação e, em duas (7,4%), não apresentaram diferenças. Em Aracaju, Belém, Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Macapá e Salvador, as prevalências de adultos fumantes foram três vezes maiores no grupo de setores com maior privação em relação aos de menor privação. Conclusão: Setores de maior privação social apresentaram maiores prevalências de tabagismo, comparados com menor privação, apontando desigualdades sociais.

Mudanças nas doenças crônicas e os fatores de risco e proteção antes e após a terceira onda da COVID-19 no Brasil / Changes in chronic diseases and risk and protective factors before and after the third wave of COVID-19 in Brazil

Resumo Objetivou-se comparar as mudanças ocorridas nos comportamentos de risco e proteção para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), morbidade referida e realização de exames preventivos de câncer antes e ao final da terceira onda da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Trata-se de uma série histórica do sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico (Vigitel) entre 2006 e 2021. Foram analisadas as tendências dos indicadores utilizando a regressão linear, e para calcular as diferenças entre os anos, empregou-se teste T de Student. Observou-se redução da prevalência da prática de atividade física (AF) no tempo livre e AF no deslocamento; e aumento da prevalência de adultos com prática insuficiente de AF, do comportamento sedentário e inatividade física nos anos de pandemia. Também houve piora nos indicadores de excesso de peso, obesidade e diabetes durante a pandemia. A hipertensão, estável no período de 2009 a 2019, aumentou nos anos da pandemia. Ocorreu redução das coberturas de exames preventivos de mamografia e citologia do colo de útero, diferindo da tendência anterior. Em conclusão, os achados apontam piora dos indicadores de DCNT. Por isso, ações de promoção à saúde tornam-se prioritárias nesse contexto.

Abstract The present study aimed to compare changes in risk and protective behaviors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), self-reported morbidity, and preventive cancer tests prior to and at the end of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. This study analyzes a historical series from the Surveillance System of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (VIGITEL) for the years 2006 and 2021. Trends were analyzed using linear regression, and the Student's t test was used to calculate differences between years. A decline in the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity (PA) and PA while commuting; and increased prevalence of adults with insufficient PA practice, sedentary behavior, and physical inactivity were observed. A worsening of the indicators of overweight, obesity, and diabetes was also observed during the pandemic. Hypertension was stable during the period from 2009 to 2019 and increased during the years of the pandemic. There was a reduction in the coverage of preventive mammograms and cervical cytology exams, differing from the previous trend. In conclusion, the findings point to the worsening of NCD indicators. Therefore, health promotion actions are a priority in this context.

Premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases in Brazilian capitals: redistribution of garbage causes and evolution by social deprivation strata / Mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em capitais brasileiras: redistribuição de causas garbage e evolução por estratos de privação social

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze premature mortality due to noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in Brazilian capitals and the Federal District (DF) after redistribution of garbage causes and the temporal evolution according to social deprivation strata in the 2010 to 2012 and 2017 to 2019 triennia. Methods: Corrections were applied to the Mortality Information System (Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade - SIM) data such as the redistribution of garbage codes (GC). Premature mortality rates due to NCDs were calculated and standardized by age. The differences among NCDs mortality rates were analyzed according to the Brazilian Deprivation Index (Índice Brasileiro de Privação - IBP) categories and between the three-year periods. Results: In the capitals as a whole, rates increased between 8 and 12% after GC redistribution and the greatest increases occurred in areas of high deprivation: 11.9 and 11.4%, triennia 1 and 2, respectively. There was variability between the capitals. There was a reduction in rates in all strata of deprivation between the three-year periods, with the greatest decrease in the stratum of low deprivation (-18.2%) and the lowest in the stratum of high deprivation (-7.5%). Conclusion: The redistribution of GC represented an increase in mortality rates, being higher in the strata of greater social deprivation. As a rule, a positive gradient of mortality was observed with increasing social deprivation. The analysis of the temporal evolution showed a decrease in mortality from NCDs between the triennia, especially in areas of lower social deprivation.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) nas capitais brasileiras e Distrito Federal (DF) após redistribuição das causas garbage, e a evolução temporal segundo estratos de privação social nos triênios 2010 a 2012 e 2017 a 2019. Métodos: Foram aplicadas correções ao Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM), sendo empregada metodologia para redistribuição das causas garbage (CG). As taxas de mortalidade prematura por DCNT padronizadas por idade foram estimadas. Foram analisadas as diferenças entre as taxas de mortalidade por DCNT segundo categorias do Índice Brasileiro de Privação (IBP) e entre os triênios. Resultados: No conjunto das capitais, as taxas aumentaram entre 8 e 12% após a redistribuição de CG, e os maiores acréscimos ocorreram em áreas de alta privação: 11,9 e 11,4%, triênios 1 e 2, respectivamente. Houve variabilidade entre as capitais. Observou-se redução das taxas em todos os estratos de privação entre os triênios, sendo maior decréscimo no estrato de baixa privação (-18,2%), e menor no estrato de alta privação (-7,5%). Conclusão: A redistribuição de CG representou aumento das taxas de mortalidade, sendo maior nos estratos de maior privação social. Via de regra, observou-se gradiente positivo de mortalidade com o aumento da privação social. A análise da evolução temporal evidenciou decréscimo da mortalidade por DCNT entre os triênios, sobretudo em áreas de menor privação social.

Commuting and work-related accidents among employed Brazilians, National Survey of Health 2013 and 2019 / Acidentes no deslocamento e no trabalho entre brasileiros ocupados, Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2013 e 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the prevalence of work-related accidents, according to sociodemographic and occupational variables, in 2013 and 2019. Methods: Cross-sectional study using data from the National Survey of Health (PNS) 2013 and 2019. Typical work accidents (WA), commuting accidents (CA), and Total Work Accidents (TWA) were evaluated. Prevalence values and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) of TWA in 2013 and 2019 were estimated according to the explanatory variables and for Federative Units and capitals. In 2019, the prevalence and 95%CI according to explanatory variables were estimated using prevalence ratios (PR), both crude and adjusted for sex and age group. Results: TWA prevalence decreased from 4.96% (95%CI 4.55-5.38) in 2013 to 4.13% (95%CI 3.80-4.46) in 2019. In 2013, the state of Pará prevailed in TWA, and the state of Mato Grosso in 2019. The prevalence of WA and CA in 2019 were: 2.64% (95%CI 2.37-2.91) and 1.60% (95%CI 1.40-1.80). In 2019, the prevalence for TWA were higher for men (PR: 1.92; 95%CI 1.62-2.27); in the 18-29 age group (PR: 2.71; 95%CI 1.99-3.68); people with elementary school and some high school (PR: 2.09; 95%CI 1.57-2.78); and Black individuals (PR: 1.43; 95%CI 1.12-1.84). People without formal employment contract had a lower prevalence of TWA (PR: 0.77; 95%CI 0.66-0.90). WA was higher in rural areas (PR: 1.32; 95%CI 1.09-1.60). Conclusion: There was a reduction in TWA between 2013 and 2019. Men, young people, Black people, and individuals with lower level of education, residents in rural areas had higher prevalence of WA in 2019, demonstrating a relationship between health-disease-accident processes.

Premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases in Brazilian capitals: redistribution of garbage causes and evolution by social deprivation strata / Mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em capitais brasileiras: redistribuição de causas garbage e evolução por estratos de privação social

Objectives: To analyze premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Brazilian capitals and the Federal District (DF) according to the redistribution of garbage causes and the temporal evolution according to social deprivation strata in the trienniums 2010 to 2012 and 2017 to 2019. Methods: Corrections were applied to the Mortality Information System (SIM) such as: proportional redistribution of ignored and blank data and garbage causes (GC). Municipal premature mortality rates from NCDs were calculated using the local empirical Bayesian estimator and standardized by age. Differences between NCD mortality rates according to the Brazilian Deprivation Index (IBP) categories and between the three-year periods were analyzed. Results: In the capitals as a whole, rates increased between 8 and 12% after the GC redistribution and the greatest increases occurred in areas of high deprivation: 11.9% and 11.4%, triennia 1 and 2. There was variability between the capitals. There was a reduction in rates in all strata of deprivation between the three-year periods, with the greatest decrease in the stratum of low deprivation (-18.2%) and the lowest in the stratum of high deprivation (-7.5%). Conclusion: The redistribution of GC represented an increase in mortality rates, being higher in the strata of greater social deprivation. As a rule, a positive gradient of mortality was observed with increasing social deprivation. The analysis of the temporal evolution showed a decrease in mortality from NCDs between the three years, especially in areas of less social deprivation.

Abstract This article aims to characterize physical violence by an intimate partner suffered by adult women treated in public urgency and emergency services in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study using data from the VIVA Survey 2017. The proportions and 95% confidence intervals of the characteristics of the victim, violence, and perpetrator were calculated. The associations of characteristics were identified through Simple Correspondence Analysis (SCA). More than half of the assisted women self-declared their race/skin color to be black (70.2%) and were the victim of a male perpetrator (96.3%). Most violence occurred at home (71.1%) through physical force (74.1%). In the SCA, an association was found among the variables of age group, between 40 and 59 years; level of education, up to 08 years of study; alcohol consumption by the victim; and violence by weapons (Profile 2). An association was also found among the variables of age group, between 18 and 24 years; black race/skin color; lack of paid work; aggression on public places; and more serious injuries (Profile 4). There are different intimate partner violence (IPV) profiles for women in different contexts. Confronting IPV requires Public Policies that consider these differences in the construction of actions that focus on women and perpetrators of violence.

Association between positive assessment of Primary Health Care, sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities in Brazil. / Associação entre avaliação positiva da atenção primária à saúde e características sociodemográficas e comorbidades no Brasil.

OBJECTIVE: To describe positive evaluations of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Brazil from the perspective of users and their association with sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities. METHODS: Analysis of the 2019 National Health Survey, in which 9,562 adults responded to the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool). The association between positive PHC assessment (overall score ≥6.6) and individual characteristics was tested using Prevalence Ratios (PR) calculated by Poisson Regression. RESULTS: Less than 40% of Brazilians rated PHC with a high score. Regarding the association of sociodemographic variables with high PHC assessment, adjusted for sex and age, the best PHC assessments were made by women [PRaj 1.10 (95%CI 1.00-1.21)]; elderly (60 years and over) [PRaj 1.27 (95%CI 1.09-1.48); people with a per capita income of 1 to 3 minimum wages (MW) PRaj 1.14 (95%CI 1.03-1.27) and ≥5 MW PRaj 1.75 (95%CI 1.39-2.21) when comparing with income up to 1 MW; residents of the South, Southeast and Midwest regions, compared to the North Region. Considering comorbidities, individuals with hypertension PRaj1,29 (95%CI 1.17-1.43); diabetes PRaj 1.21 (95%CI 1.08-1.36); heart disease PRaj 1.23 (95%CI 1.07-1.41); musculoskeletal disorders PRaj 1.36 (95%CI 1.10-1.69); lung disease PRaj 1.48 (95%CI 1.13-1.95) and obesity PRaj 1.15 (95%CI 1.03-1.28) rated PHC better when compared to normal weight people. CONCLUSION: Users who evaluate PHC well are usually women, elderly, with high prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases. A positive evaluation of PHC, in general, results from greater use of health services.

OBJETIVO: Descrever a avaliação positiva da atenção primária à saúde (APS) no Brasil na ótica dos usuários e sua associação com as características sociodemográficas e comorbidades. MÉTODOS: Análise da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2019, com amostra de 9.562 adultos que responderam ao primary care assessment tool (PCATool). Foi testada a associação entre avaliação positiva da APS (escore geral ≥6,6) e características individuais, sendo utilizadas as razões de prevalência (RP) calculadas por meio de regressão de Poisson. RESULTADOS: Menos de 40% dos brasileiros avaliaram a APS com escore alto. No que se refere à associação das variáveis sociodemográficas com a avaliação elevada da APS, ajustada por sexo e idade, encontrou-se que a melhor avaliação da APS ocorreu entre mulheres [RPaj 1,10 (intervalo de confiança de 95% ­ IC95% 1,00­1,21)]; idosos (60 anos ou mais) [RPaj 1,27 (IC95% 1,09­1,48)]; pessoas com renda per capita de um a três salários mínimos (SM) [RPaj 1,14 (IC95% 1,03­1,27)] e ≥5 SM [RPaj 1,75 (IC95% 1,39­2,21)] quando comparadas com renda até um SM; e moradores das regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste em relação à Região Norte. Considerando as variáveis de comorbidades, avaliaram bem a APS indivíduos com hipertensão [RPaj 1,29 (IC95% 1,17­1,43)]; diabetes [RPaj 1,21 (IC95% 1,08­1,36)]; doença cardíaca [RPaj 1,23 (IC95% 1,07­1,41)]; distúrbio osteomuscular [RPaj 1,36 (IC95% 1,10­1,69)]; doença do pulmão [RPaj 1,48 (IC95% 1,13­1,95)] e obesidade [RPaj 1,15 (IC95% 1,03­1,28)] em comparação com pessoas eutróficas. CONCLUSÃO: Usuários que avaliaram bem a APS são mulheres, idosos, com prevalências elevadas de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. A avaliação positiva da APS, em geral, resulta da maior utilização dos serviços de saúde.

Self-reported arterial hypertension, use of health services and guidelines for care in Brazilian population: National Health Survey, 2019. / Hipertensão arterial autorreferida, uso de serviços de saúde e orientações para o cuidado na população brasileira: Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, 2019.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of arterial hypertension according to sociodemographic characteristics in Brazil and to analyze the indicators related to access to health services and guidelines for controlling the disease in the country. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study using the National Health Survey (PNS) conducted in 2019. The prevalence of hypertension was estimated with a 95% confidence interval, in addition to the proportions of hypertension indicators. RESULTS: There were 88,531 respondents, of which 23.9% self-reported hypertension, more prevalent among females (26.4%) and the elderly (55.0%). Among those who self-reported hypertension, 57.8% reported medical attention in the last six months; most received guidance on self-care; 66.1% were seen in public health services; and 45.8%, in primary health care units. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hypertension in the Brazilian population was high, with most people who self-reported the condition being seen in services of the Brazilian National Health System (SUS), where they received guidance on health promotion.

Self-reported diabetes and factors associated with it in the Brazilian adult population: National Health Survey, 2019. / Diabetes autorreferido e fatores associados na população adulta brasileira: Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, 2019.

This study aims to analyze the prevalence of self-reported diabetes and its associated factors in the Brazilian adult population. It is a cross-sectional study using the 2019 National Health Survey. Prevalence and crude prevalence ratios (PRc) and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRa) of self-reported diabetes were estimated, with confidence intervals (95% CI), using Poisson regression. In the 82,349 adults, the prevalence of self-reported diabetes was 7.7%. Positively associated factors were: advanced age with greater association after 60 years (PRa 24.87; 95%CI 15.78-39.18); living in the Northeast (PRa 1.16; 95%CI 1.04-1.29), Southeast (PRa 1.27; 95% CI 1.14-1.43), South (PRa 1.18; 95%CI 1, 05-1.34), and Midwest (PRa 1.21; 95%CI 1.06-1.38); being a former smoker (PRa 1.17; 95%CI 1.09-1.27); self-assessment of regular health (PRa 2.41; 95%CI 2.21-2.64), bad/very bad (PRa 3.45; 95%CI 3.06-3.88); having heart disease (PRa 1.81; 95%CI 1.64-2.00), hypertension (PRa 2.84; 95%CI 2.60-3.69), high cholesterol (PRa 2.22; 95%CI 2.05-2.41), overweight (PRa 1.49; 95%CI 1.36-1.64), and obesity (PRa 2.25; 95%CI 2.05-2.47). It could be concluded that diabetes in Brazilian adults is associated with sociodemographic factors, aging, lifestyle, and morbidities. These results can guide public policies for the prevention and control of disease in Brazil.

O estudo analisa a prevalência de diabetes autorreferido e fatores associados na população adulta brasileira. Estudo transversal usando a Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2019. Estimaram-se as prevalências e razões de prevalência brutas (RPb) e ajustadas (RPa) de diabetes autorreferido, com intervalos de confiança (IC95%), empregando-se regressão de Poisson. Nos 82.349 adultos, a prevalência de diabetes autorreferido foi de 7,7%. Associaram-se positivamente: idade avançada, sendo maior após 60 anos (RPa 24,87; IC95%: 15,78-39,18); residir nas regiões Nordeste (RPa 1,16; IC95%: 1,04-1,29), Sudeste (RPa 1,27; IC95%: 1,14-1,43), Sul (RPa 1,18; IC95%: 1,05-1,34) e Centro-Oeste (RPa 1,21; IC95%: 1,06-1,38), ser ex-fumante (RPa 1,17; IC95%: 1,09-1,27), autoavaliação de saúde regular (RPa 2,41; IC95%: 2,21-2,64), ruim/muito ruim (RPa 3,45; IC95%: 3,06-3,88), ter doença cardíaca (RPa 1,81; IC95%: 1,64-2,00), hipertensão (RPa 2,84; IC95%: 2,60-3,69), colesterol elevado (RPa 2,22; IC95%: 2,05-2,41), sobrepeso (RPa 1,49; IC95%: 1,36-1,64) e obesidade (RPa 2,25; IC95%: 2,05- 2,47). Conclui-se que o diabetes nos adultos brasileiros se associa a fatores sociodemográficos, envelhecimento, estilos de vida e morbidades. Esses resultados podem orientar políticas públicas para prevenção e controle da doença no Brasil.

Use of an Elevated Avenue for Leisure-Time Physical Activity by Adults from Downtown São Paulo, Brazil.

Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is associated with access and use of public open spaces. The President João Goulart Elevated Avenue, currently denominated Minhocão, is a facility for leisure activities that is open for people during the night and weekends. The aim of this study was to examine if the prevalence of LTPA among individuals living in the surroundings of Minhocão is different according to proximity to, and use of, the facility. We conducted a cross-sectional study with cluster sampling with people aged ≥18 years who lived in households up to 500 m, and between 501 m and 1500 m of Minhocão. The survey was conducted between December 2017 and March 2019 using an electronic questionnaire. We conducted a bivariate analysis and Poisson regression to examine possible differences in LTPA according to the proximity of residences and use of Minhocão. The analysis used post-stratification weights. A total of 12,030 telephone numbers of people were drawn (≤500 m = 6942; and >500 m to ≤1500 m = 5088). The final sample included 235 residents who returned the questionnaires. There was a higher prevalence of individuals engaging in at least 150 min per week of LTPA among users than non-users (Prevalence Ratio = 2.19, IC95% 1.66 to 2.90), independently of sex, age, education, the distance of houses to nearest accesses and number of barriers. The main five barriers related to the usage of the Minhocão were safety issues in and around the Minhocão, rainy weather, lack of vegetation, and lack of facilities. People who used the park had higher prevalence of all types of LTPA than non-users. The results can serve to inform government decision-making on the future of Minhocão.

Factors associated with early childhood development in municipalities of Ceará, Brazil: a hierarchical model of contexts, environments, and nurturing care domains in a cross-sectional study.

Background: This study aims to identify the contexts, environments, and nurturing care predictors that determine whether a child is developmentally on track in Ceará, Brazil. Methods: We analysed data from a cross-sectional study conducted with caregivers of 6,447 children aged 0-59 months during a vaccination campaign in Ceará in October 2019. The validated Child Development Assessment Questionnaire was used to assess early childhood development (ECD) and children with a z-score ≥ -1 SD were considered developmentally on track. We conducted logistic regression models to understand the effects of contexts, environments, and nurturing care domains on ECD. Findings: Children in the early years (< 36 months) were more likely to meet the ECD milestones if they were not born with low birth weight (AOR: 0·64; 95% CI: 0·42-0·97), were exposed to manufactured toys in their house (2·68; 1·97-3·66), their heads of household were employed (1·61; 1·16-2·23), and their caregivers had read the Child Health Handbook (1·42; 1·13-1·77) and engaged them in stimulating activities (1·71; 1·26-2·32). Children aged 36-59 months were more likely to meet the ECD milestones if they were breastfed (never: ref. / < 3 months: 3·72; 1·91-7·26 / 3-5 months: 3·21; 1·74-5·93 / 6-11 months: 3·73; 1·95-7·16 / ≥ 12 months: 3·89; 2·25-6·72), had books at home (0: ref / 1-3: 1·71; 1·22-2·40 / 4-6: 2·24; 1·27-3·94 / 7+: 2·71; 1·05-7·00), and their caregivers received information about ECD (1·49; 1·11-2·01) and engaged them in stimulating activities (1·80; 1·27-2·56). Children aged 36-59 months were less likely to meet developmental milestones if they watched TV or used tablets/smartphones for more than two hours per day (0·61; 0·44-0·84), played with household objects (0·62; 0·41-0·92), participated in governmental early childhood programmes aimed at vulnerable families (0·62; 0·45-0·86), had families that participated in income transfer programmes (0·68; 0·47-0·99) (families living in poverty or extreme poverty), and their caregivers considered slapping (0·67; 0·48-0·94) a necessary disciplinary method. Interpretation: Having favourable socioeconomic conditions, breastfeeding, the absence of harsh discipline, caregivers who provide responsive care, and the provision of opportunities for early learning are the key factors that increase the likelihood of a child achieving their full developmental potential in Ceará, Brazil. Funding: This study was supported by the Maria Cecília Souto Vidigal Foundation (F0245), Brazil. The funder had no role in the design, analysis, or writing of this article.

Results: Less than 40% of Brazilians rated PHC with a high score. Regarding the association of sociodemographic variables with high PHC assessment, adjusted for sex and age, the best PHC assessments were made by women [PRaj 1.10 (95%CI 1.00-1.21)]; elderly (60 years and over) [PRaj 1.27 (95%CI 1.09-1.48); people with a per capita income of 1 to 3 minimum wages (MW) PRaj 1.14 (95%CI 1.03-1.27) and ≥5 MW PRaj 1.75 (95%CI 1.39-2.21) when comparing with income up to 1 MW; residents of the South, Southeast and Midwest regions, compared to the North Region. Considering comorbidities, individuals with hypertension PRaj1,29 (95%CI 1.17-1.43); diabetes PRaj 1.21 (95%CI 1.08-1.36); heart disease PRaj 1.23 (95%CI 1.07-1.41); musculoskeletal disorders PRaj 1.36 (95%CI 1.10-1.69); lung disease PRaj 1.48 (95%CI 1.13-1.95) and obesity PRaj 1.15 (95%CI 1.03-1.28) rated PHC better when compared to normal weight people. Conclusion: Users who evaluate PHC well are usually women, elderly, with high prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases. A positive evaluation of PHC, in general, results from greater use of health services.

Arterial hypertension and associated factors: National Health Survey, 2019 / Hipertensão arterial e fatores associados: Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, 2019

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.
