[Complications due to diabetes mellitus in Brazil: 2019 nationwide study]. / Complicações por diabetes mellitus no Brasil: estudo de base nacional, 2019.

Inadequate management of diabetes mellitus (DM) can lead to complications that affect quality of life. The prevalence of DM and its complications is increasing, presenting an uneven distribution in the population. The objective was to estimate the prevalence of complications due to DM and to assess inequalities in the Brazilian population. It involved a cross-sectional study, with data from the 2019 National Health Survey (NHS). The complications evaluated were: diabetic coma, heart attack/cerebrovascular accident/stroke; kidney problem; vision problem and foot ulcer or amputation. The related factors were schooling and income. The prevalence of complications was calculated separately, combination in pairs, presence of any complications and number of complications. Inequality was estimated through adjusted analysis and the slope index (SII) and concentration index (CIX) indices. The sample consisted of 6,317 people with DM. More than a third (37.8%) reported having some complication. Vision problems (30.6%) and kidney problems (9.7%) were the most prevalent. The prevalence of having "one" and "two or more" complications were 25.4% and 12.4%, respectively. Inequalities were found with a higher prevalence of complications among the least educated and the poorest.

A prevalência da DM e suas complicações está aumentando, apresentando distribuição desigual na população. O objetivo foi estimar a prevalência de complicações devido à DM e avaliar as desigualdades na população brasileira. Estudo transversal, com dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS), de 2019. As complicações avaliadas foram: coma diabético, infarto/Acidente Vascular Cerebral/derrame, problema nos rins, problema na visão e úlcera nos pés ou amputação. As exposições foram a escolaridade e renda. Foram calculadas as prevalências das complicações separadamente, combinação em duplas, presença de alguma complicação e número de complicações. A desigualdade foi estimada por meio de análise ajustada e dos índices: slope index (SII) e o concentration index (CIX). A amostra foi composta por 6.317 pessoas com DM. Mais de um terço (37,8%) referiu ter alguma complicação. O problema na visão (30,6%) e nos rins (9,7%) foram os mais prevalentes. As prevalências de ter "uma" e "duas ou mais" complicações foram 25,4% e 12,4%. Foram evidenciadas desigualdades com maior prevalência de complicações entre os menos escolarizados e mais pobres.

Remote work and back pain during the COVID-19 pandemic in adults and older population in South Brazil.

This article aims to investigate the association between remote work and Back Pain during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to analyze this relationship according to the body mass index. Population-based, cross-sectional study carried in two cities in southern Brazil, in individuals aged 18 years and over. Data were collected through household interviews from October to January 2020/21. Outcomes: back pain (cervical, thoracic, lumbar/acute, chronic) and pain intensity. Exposure variable: remote work. For the analyses, Poisson regression with robust adjustment for variance was used, stratified by BMI (eutrophic vs overweight/obese), and restricted to those who had worked in the past month. 1,016 had worked during the pandemic, average 42 years old (SD = 14), varying from 18 to 93 years. Remote work was performed by 7.7% of the individuals. Prevalence of back pain: 25.6% (95%CI: 19.5 to 31.7%). Overweight/obese remote workers felt pain acute cervical pain PR = 2.82 (95%CI: 1.15 to 6.92); chronic low back PR = 1.85 (95%CI: 1.04 to 3.29); acute thoracic PR = 1.81(95%CI: 3.76 to 8.68) compared to those who did not work. About one in four remote workers reported back pain during of the COVID-19 pandemic. BMI proved to be an important moderator between outcomes and exposure variable.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é investigar a associação entre trabalho remoto e dores nas costas durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e analisar essa relação segundo o índice de massa corporal. Estudo transversal de base populacional realizado em duas cidades no sul do Brasil em indivíduos acima de 18 anos. Dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas domiciliares entre outubro-janeiro de 2020-2021. Desfechos: dor nas costas (cervical, torácica, lombar/aguda, crônica) e intensidade da dor. Variável de exposição: trabalho remoto. Para as análises, foram utilizadas regressão de Poisson com ajuste robusto para variância, estratificadas pelo IMC (eutrófico vs. sobrepeso/obeso) e restritas àqueles que trabalharam no último mês. Durante a pandemia, 1.016 trabalharam, média 42 anos (DP = 14), entre 18 a 93 anos. Trabalho remoto foi realizado por 7,7% dos indivíduos. Prevalência de dor nas costas: 25.6% (IC95%:19,5 a 31,7%). Trabalhadores remotos com sobrepeso/obesidade sentiram dor aguda cervical RP = 2,82 (IC95%:1,15 a 6,92); torácica aguda RP = 1,81 (IC95%:3,76 a 8,68); lombar crônica RP = 1,85 (IC95%:1,04 a 3,29), comparados àqueles que não trabalharam. Cerca de um em cada quatro trabalhadores remotos reportou dor nas costas durante a pandemia. O IMC mostrou-se ser um importante moderador entre defechos e variável de exposição.

Tendência de desigualdades na realização de mamografia nas capitais brasileiras nos últimos dez anos / Trend of inequalities in the performance of mammography in Brazilian capitals in the last ten years

Resumo O objetivo foi verificar a tendência de desigualdade na realização de mamografia de acordo com a posse de plano de saúde e escolaridade a partir de dados do período de 2011 a 2020 do VIGITEL. Estudo de base populacional com dados provenientes do Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico (VIGITEL) entre 2011 e 2020. Desfecho: exame de mamografia nos últimos dois anos em mulheres de 50 a 69 anos. A magnitude das desigualdades do desfecho em relação às exposições (plano de saúde e escolaridade) foi estimada por meio de dois índices: slope index of inequality (SII) e concentration index (CIX). A prevalência de cobertura da realização de mamografia (2011-2020) passou de 74,4% para 78,0%, com tendência estável. As prevalências de quem possuía plano de saúde foram 85,7% e 86,4%, e de quem não possuía, 63,4% e 71,2%, com tendência crescente. De acordo com a escolaridade, em mulheres com 0-8 anos de estudo a prevalência passou de 68,2% para 72,6%; 9-11 anos, de 80,4% para 80,0% (tendência decrescente); 12 anos ou mais, de 88,0% para 86,6% (tendência decrescente). Quanto aos índices de desigualdade absoluta (SII) e relativa (CIX) da escolaridade e plano de saúde, mostram que há uma diminuição na desigualdade nos últimos dez anos.

Abstract The objective was to verify the trend of inequality in the realization of mammography exam according to the possession of health insurance plan and schooling from data from the period 2011 to 2020 of VIGITEL. Population-based study with data from the Surveillance System of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (VIGITEL) between 2011 and 2020. Outcome: mammography exam in the last 2 years in women aged 50 to 69 years. The magnitude of inequalities of outcome in relation to exposures (health insurance plan and education) was estimated using two indices: inequality slope index (SII) and concentration index (CIX). The prevalence of mammography exam (2011-2020) increased from 74,4% to 78,0%, with a stable trend. The prevalence of those with health insurance plan were 85,7% and 86,4%, and without 63.4% and 71.2%, with an increasing trend. According to education, women with 0-8 years of schooling the prevalence increased from 68,2% to 72,6%, 9-11 years from 80,4% to 80,0% (decreasing trend), 12 years or more 88,0% to 86,6% (decreasing trend). As for the absolute (SII) and relative (CIX) inequality indices of schooling and health insurance plan show that there is a decrease in inequality over the last 10 years.

Inequalities in the management of back pain care in Brazil - National Health Survey, 2019 / Desigualdades no manejo da dor nas costas no Brasil - Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, 2019

Abstract The aim was to assess the presence of socioeconomic inequalities in the management of back pain among Brazilians. Cross-sectional study with data from the National Health Survey (2019). The management of back pain care was assessed using five outcomes: regular exercise; physiotherapy; use of medications or injections; integrative and complementary practice; regular follow-up with a health professional. The magnitude of inequalities of each outcome in relation to exposures (education and income) was estimated using two indices: slope index of inequality (SII) and concentration index (CIX). Of the 90,846 interviewees, 19,206 individuals (21.1%) reported some chronic back problem. The most prevalent outcomes were use of medications and injections (45.3%), physical exercise (26.3%) and regular follow-up with a health professional (24.7%). The existence of inequalities in the management of back pain in the Brazilian population was evident. The adjusted analysis showed that the richest and most educated performed two to three times more physical exercise, physiotherapy, integrative and complementary practices (ICPS) and regular follow-up with a health professional than the poorest and least educated. Absolute (SII) and relative (CIX) inequalities were significant for all outcomes.

Resumo O objetivo foi avaliar a presença de desigualdades socioeconômicas no manejo da dor nas costas em brasileiros. Estudo transversal com dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (2019). O manejo da dor nas costas foi avaliado por meio de cinco desfechos: exercícios regulares; fisioterapia; uso de medicamentos ou injeções; prática integrativa e complementar; acompanhamento regular com profissional de saúde. A magnitude das desigualdades de cada desfecho em relação às exposições (escolaridade e renda) foi estimada por meio de dois índices: slope index of inequality (SII) e concentration index (CIX). Dos 90.846 entrevistados, 19.206 indivíduos (21,1%) relataram algum problema crônico nas costas. Os desfechos mais prevalentes foram uso de medicamentos e injeções (45,3%), prática de exercícios físicos (26,3%) e acompanhamento regular com profissional de saúde (24,7%). Ficou evidente a existência de desigualdades no manejo da dor nas costas entre brasileiros. Análise ajustada mostrou que os mais ricos e com maior escolaridade realizavam duas a três vezes mais exercícios físicos, fisioterapia, práticas integrativas e complementares (ICPS) e acompanhamento regular com profissional de saúde do que os mais pobres e com menor escolaridade. Desigualdades absolutas (SII) e relativas (CIX) foram significativas para todos os desfechos.

Excessive use of social media by high school students in southern Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of excessive use of social media and associated factors, as well as possible health consequences in high school students in southern Brazil. METHODS: This is a population-based cross-sectional study, conducted with high school students in the city of Rio Grande, RS. All students who were attending high school at the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul, campus Rio Grande, were eligible for this research in the second semester of 2019. In total, 513 students participated in the study. The dependent variable was excessive use of social media, defined as more than five hours per day. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were carried out and the Poisson regression was used to verify associations, with robust adjustment of variance. RESULTS: The prevalence of students who reported excessive use of social media was 35.9%. The groups that were most susceptible to excessive use of social media had the following profile: female, black/brown skin, aged between 18 and 20 years old, attending the first year of high school. Excessive use of social media was shown to be associated with smoking, risk of depression, anxiety and stress, high risk of suicide and drug use. CONCLUSIONS: More than a third of students used social media excessively. This behavior was associated with negative health outcomes.

Epidemiology of chronic back pain among adults and elderly from Southern Brazil: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Chronic back pain (CBP) can negatively affect one's quality of life and health condition, posing significant social and economic burdens. OBJECTIVES: (1) To determine the prevalence of CBP and analyze associated factors in adult and elderly individuals in a municipality in southern Brazil; (2) to verify who sought medical attention or missed work because of back pain; and (3) to estimate the impact of CBP on selected health outcomes. METHODS: This was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted with individuals aged 18 years and older. CBP was defined as "pain for three consecutive months in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions in the last year." Demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and physical and mental health information was collected. The impact of CBP was assessed by the etiological fraction method. RESULTS: The prevalence of CBP was 20.7% (95% CI: 18.3, 23.0) among the 1300 study participants. The factors associated with CBP were women, elderly, smokers, obesity, and sleeping fewer hours per night, as well as those with higher mental stress levels, history of fracture, arthritis/rheumatism, and work-related musculoskeletal disorder/repetitive strain injury. One-third of those with CBP missed work (31%) and 68% visited the physician over a 12-month period. All health outcomes analyzed (poor or very poor sleep quality, regular or poor health perception, worsened quality of life, depressive symptoms, perceived sadness) were significantly associated with CBP. CONCLUSION: One in five adults or elderly reported having CBP over the previous 12 months. This condition was associated with poorer health perception, poorer quality of life, and depressive symptoms.

Acute and chronic back pain in adults and elderly in southern Brazil: a population-based study / Dor aguda e crônica nas costas em adultos e idosos no sul do Brasil: um estudo de base populacional

Aims: to determine the prevalence of acute and chronic back pain and associated factors and identify the consequences of this pain in adults and the elderly in southern Brazil. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted in 2019, in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, in individuals aged 18 and over. Acute back pain was pain in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions not exceeding 3 months and chronic pain as pain for 3 months or more. Bivariate analyzes and multinomial logistic regression were performed. Results: among the 820 participants, the prevalence of back pain was 67.0%, acute pain 39.3% (95% CI: 35.5% to 43.3%) and chronic pain 27.4% (95% CI: 24.5% to 30.4%). Acute back pain was associated with women, overweight, obesity, and with WMSD/RSI, while chronic pain chronic pain was found mostly in women, being related to leisure inactivity ...were female, leisure inactivity, falls, Work-related musculoskeletal disorder/repetitive strain injury, and arthritis/rheumatism. Conclusions: acute pain was greater among overweight/obese and chronic pain contribute to absenteeism and demand for health services.

Objetivos: determinar a prevalência de dores aguda e crônica nas costas e fatores associados e identificar as consequências dessas dores em adultos e idosos no Sul do Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado em 2019, em Criciúma, Santa Catarina, em indivíduos com 18 anos ou mais. Dor aguda foi a dor nas regiões cervical, torácica ou lombar não superior a três meses e dor crônica como dor por três meses ou mais. Foram realizadas análises bivariadas e regressão logística multinomial. Resultados: entre os 820 participantes, a prevalência de dor nas costas foi de 67,0%, dor aguda 39,3% (IC 95%: 35,5% a 43,3%) e dor crônica 27,4% (IC 95%: 24,5% a 30,4%). A dor aguda nas costas foi associada a mulheres, sobrepeso, obesidade e a distúrbio musculoesquelético relacionado ao trabalho/lesão por esforço repetitivo, enquanto a dor crônica, foi constatada majoritariamente em mulheres, tendo relação com sedentarismo, quedas, distúrbio musculoesquelético relacionado ao trabalho/lesão por esforço repetitivo e artrite/reumatismo. Conclusões: a dor aguda mais associada a excesso de peso/obesidade e a dor crônica contribuiu para o absenteísmo e procura pelos serviços de saúde.
