Smoking among Brazilian adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: The social distancing measures during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in mental suffering among adolescents, leading to risky consumption of psychoactive substances such as tobacco. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with tobacco use among adolescents during the COVID-19 social distancing period in Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study used data from ConVid Adolescentes survey in Brazil. METHODS: Tobacco use was assessed before and during social distancing. The explanatory variables investigated were sex, age, race/skin color, type of school, maternal education, region of residence, adherence to social restriction measures, number of close friends, sleep quality during the pandemic, mood, passive smoking, use of alcoholic beverages during the pandemic, sedentary behavior, and physical activity. A logistic regression model was used for the data analysis. RESULTS: Tobacco use by adolescents did not change during the pandemic (from 2.58% to 2.41%). There was a higher chance of tobacco use among adolescents aged between 16 and 17 years, self-reported black ones, residing in the South and Southeast regions, reported feeling sad and loneliness, had sleeping problems that worsened, were using alcoholic beverages during the pandemic, and were passive smokers at home. Adolescents whose mothers had completed high school or higher, had strict social restrictions, and increased their physical activity during the pandemic had a lower chance of tobacco use. CONCLUSION: Tobacco uses during the COVID-19 pandemic was higher in vulnerable groups, such as black adolescents and those with mental suffering.

Tabagismo no Brasil: percepções dos resultados de pesquisas domiciliares / Smoking in Brazil: insights from the results of the household surveys / Tabaquismo en Brasil: percepciones de los resultados de encuestas en hogares

Introdução: o uso do tabaco em suas diferentes formas continua a ser uma das principais causas de morte evitáveis no Brasil. Com uma história de sucesso notável, o Brasil alcançou uma das maiores reduções significativas na prevalência do tabagismo desde 1990. No entanto, é preocupante que a taxa de declínio do consumo de tabaco tenha diminuído nos últimos anos, conforme sugerem as pesquisas. Objetivos: o presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar os resultados de três pesquisas domiciliares realizadas pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Métodos: foi realizada a comparação da prevalência do uso de tabaco entre entrevistados com 18 anos ou mais, assim como foi avaliada a porcentagem de mudanças na prevalência entre 2008, 2013 e 2019, usando dados de três pesquisas: The Global Tobacco Adult Survey, do ano de 2008, e a Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Brasil, dos anos de 2013 e 2019. Além disso, analisamos a prevalência no Brasil e seus estados de acordo com idade, gênero, nível educacional e raça. Resultados: a prevalência do tabagismo ativo diminuiu 19% entre 2008 e 2013, passando de 18,2% (IC 95%: 17,7;18,7%), em 2008, para 14,7% (IC 95%: 14,2;15,2%), em 2013. No entanto, em 2019, a prevalência foi de 12,6% (IC 95%: 12,2;13,0%), revelando uma redução de 14,3%. O tabagismo foi maior entre a população com baixo nível de escolaridade, status de renda mais baixo e raça/cor da pele preta e parda. Conclusão: a prevalência do tabagismo diminuiu no Brasil nas últimas três décadas. No entanto, recentemente, houve uma redução na intensidade da queda, exigindo atenção e análise cuidadosa das estratégias de prevenção e abandono do tabagismo.(AU)

Alcohol consumption among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, ConVid Adolescents - Behavior Research / O consumo de bebidas alcoólicas entre adolescentes durante a pandemia de COVID-19, ConVid Adolescentes — Pesquisa de Comportamentos

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the prevalence of alcohol consumption before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze the factors associated with this behavior during the period of social distancing among Brazilian adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study using data from the ConVid Adolescents survey, carried out via the Internet between June and September 2020. The prevalence of alcohol consumption before and during the pandemic, as well as association with sociodemographic variables, mental health, and lifestyle were estimated. A logistic regression model was used to assess associated factors. Results: 9,470 adolescents were evaluated. Alcohol consumption decreased from 17.70% (95%CI 16.64-18.85) before the pandemic to 12.80% (95%CI 11.85-13.76) during the pandemic. Alcohol consumption was associated with the age group of 16 and 17 years (OR=2.9; 95%CI 1.08-1.53), place of residence in the South (OR=1.82; 95%CI 1.46-2.27) and Southeast regions (OR=1.33; 95%CI 1.05-1.69), having three or more close friends (OR=1.78; 95%CI 1.25-2.53), reporting worsening sleep problems during the pandemic (OR=1.59; 95%CI 1.20-2.11), feeling sad sometimes (OR=1,83; 95%CI 1,40-2,38) and always (OR=2.27; 95%CI 1.70-3.05), feeling always irritated (OR=1,60; 95%CI 1,14-2,25), being a smoker (OR=13,74; 95%CI 8.63-21.87) and a passive smoker (OR=1.76; 95%CI 1.42-2.19). Strict adherence to social distancing was associated with lower alcohol consumption (OR=0.40; 95%CI 0.32-0.49). Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in consumption of alcoholic beverages by Brazilian adolescents, which was influenced by sociodemographic and mental health factors, adherence to social restriction measures and lifestyle in this period. Managers, educators, family and the society must be involved in the articulation of Public Policies to prevent alcohol consumption.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever as prevalências do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas por adolescentes brasileiros antes e durante a pandemia de COVID-19 e analisar os fatores associados a esse comportamento no período de distanciamento social. Métodos: Estudo transversal, utilizando dados da pesquisa ConVid Adolescentes, realizado via web entre junho e setembro de 2020.

O consumo de bebidas alcoólicas esteve associado à faixa etária de 16 e 17 anos (OR=2,9; IC95% 1,08-1,53), morar na Região Sul (OR=1,82; IC95% 1,46-2,27) e Sudeste (OR=1,33; IC95% 1,05-1,69), ter três ou mais amigos próximos (OR=1,78; IC95% 1,25-2,53), relatar piora dos problemas de sono (OR=1,59; IC95% 1,20-2,11), sentir-se triste às vezes (OR=1,83; IC95% 1,40-2,38) e sempre (OR=2,27; IC95% 1,70-3,05), irritado sempre (OR=1,60; IC95% 1,14-2,25), ser fumante ativo (OR=13,74; IC95% 8,63-21,87) e fumante passivo (OR=1,76; IC95% 1,42-2,19). A adesão à restrição de forma muito rigorosa associou-se ao menor consumo de bebidas alcoólicas (OR=0,40; IC95% 0,32-0,49). Conclusão: A pandemia causada pela COVID-19 levou à diminuição no consumo de bebidas alcoólicas pelos adolescentes brasileiros, e o consumo durante a pandemia foi influenciado por fatores sociodemográficos, de saúde mental, adesão às medidas de restrição social e estilos de vida. Faz-se necessário o envolvimento de gestores, educadores, família e sociedade na articulação de políticas públicas para evitar o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas.

Violence Against LGB+ people in Brazil: analysis of the 2019 National Survey of Health / Violência contra pessoas LGB+ no Brasil: análise da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the association between self-reported sexual orientation and violence in the Brazilian population. Methods: This cross-sectional epidemiological study used the 2019 National Survey of Health database. Total violence and its subtypes (psychological, physical, and sexual) were analyzed in the previous 12 months. Prevalence and odds ratio adjusted for age group were estimated, with their respective 95% confidence intervals, according to the self-reported sexual orientation of the Brazilian population aged 18 years and older. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Results: Most of the Brazilian population self-identified as heterosexual (94.75%) and 1.89% as LGB+. This percentage was lower than that of respondents who refused to answer the question (2.28%). The prevalence of violence in the general population of Brazil was 18.27%, and the most common subtype was psychological violence (17.36%). The LGB+ population was more than twice as likely to experience any type of violence. LGB+ women had the highest prevalence in all violence subtypes, and heterosexual men had the lowest. LGB+ women were over three times more likely to experience physical violence compared to heterosexual ones. Meanwhile, the probability of LGB+ men experiencing sexual violence was almost eight times higher than in heterosexual men. Conclusion: The prevalence of violence against the LGB+ population was high in the country. Public policies aimed at this population are necessary to fight discrimination against sexual diversity and ensure the rights of non-heterosexual people.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre a orientação sexual autoidentificada e a violência na população brasileira. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico transversal que utilizou base de dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2019. Analisaram-se a violência total e seus subtipos (psicológica, física e sexual) nos 12 meses anteriores. Estimou-se a prevalência e a odds ratio ajustada por faixa etária, com seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%, segundo orientação sexual autoidentificada da população acima de 18 anos no Brasil. Considerou-se a significância estatística de 5%. Resultados: A população brasileira autoidentificou-se majoritariamente como heterossexual (94,75%), e 1,89% identificou-se como LGB+. Esse percentual foi inferior ao de entrevistados que se recusaram a responder à pergunta (2,28%). A prevalência da violência na população geral do Brasil foi de 18,27%, sendo o subtipo mais comum a violência psicológica (17,36%). A população LGB+ apresentou mais que o dobro de chances de sofrer qualquer tipo de violência. As mulheres LGB+ apresentaram as maiores prevalências de todos os subtipos de violência e os homens heterossexuais, as menores. Mulheres LGB+ tiveram mais de três vezes mais chances de sofrer violência física, comparadas às mulheres heterossexuais. Enquanto isso, homens LGB+ mostraram chances quase oito vezes maiores de sofrer violência sexual que os homens heterossexuais. Conclusão: A violência contra a população LGB+ apresentou alta prevalência no país. São necessárias políticas públicas voltadas a essa população para que se enfrente o preconceito contra a diversidade sexual e seja possível garantir os direitos das pessoas não heterossexuais.

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.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as prevalências de acidentes de trabalho, segundo variáveis sociodemográficas e ocupacionais, em 2013 e 2019. Métodos: Estudo transversal utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2013 e 2019. Avaliou-se os acidentes de trabalho típico (AT), de descolamento (AD) e de trabalho totais (ATT).

As prevalências de AT e AD em 2019 foram, respectivamente, 2,64% (IC95% 2,37-2,91) e 1,60% (IC95% 1,40-1,80). Em 2019, as prevalências para ATT foram mais elevadas para homens (RP: 1,92; IC95% 1,62-2,27); faixa etária de 18 a 29 anos (RP: 2,71; IC95% 1,99-3,68); pessoas com ensino fundamental completo/médio incompleto (RP: 2,09; IC95% 1,57-2,78); e pessoas de cor preta (RP: 1,43; IC95% 1,12-1, 84), e menor em pessoas sem carteira de trabalho (RP: 0,77; IC95% 0,66-0,90). AT foi maior na zona rural (RP: 1,32; IC95% 1,09-1,60). Conclusão: Houve redução dos ATT entre 2013 e 2019. Homens, jovens, pretos e indivíduos com menor escolaridade, trabalhadores da zona rural, apresentaram maiores prevalências de AT em 2019, demonstrando uma relação dos processos saúde-doença-acidente.

Alcohol consumption among adolescents during the Covid 19 pandemic, Convid Adolescents ­ Behavior Research / O consumo de bebidas alcóolicas entre adolescentes durante a pandemia do Covid 19, Convid Adolescentes - Pesquisa de Comportamentos

Objective: To describe the prevalence of alcohol consumption before and during the Covid 19 pandemic and to analyze the factors associated with this behavior during the period of social distancing in Brazilian adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study, using data from the Convid Adolescents survey, carried out via the web between June and September 2020. The prevalence of alcohol consumption before and during the pandemic and association with sociodemographic variables, mental health, lifestyles was estimated. A logistic regression model was used to assess associated factors. Results: 9,470 adolescents were evaluated. Alcohol consumption decreased from 17.70% (95%CI: 16.64;18.85) before the pandemic to 12.80% (95%CI: 11.85;13.76) during the pandemic. Higher alcohol consumption was associated with the age group of 16 and 17 years (OR=2.9;1.08-1.53), living in the South region (OR=1.82;1.46;2.27) and Southeast (OR=1.33;1.05;1.69), having 03 or more close friends (OR=1.78;1.25;2.53), reporting worsening sleep problems during the pandemic (OR=;1.59;1.20;2.11), feeling sad sometimes and always (OR=2.27;1.70;3.05), always irritated, being a smoker (OR=13, 74;8.63;21.87) and passive smoking (OR=1.76;1.42;2.19) were associated with higher alcohol consumption. Adherence to the restriction in a very strict way was associated with lower alcohol consumption (OR=0.40;0.32;0.49). Conclusions: The pandemic caused by Covid 19 led to a decrease in the consumption of alcoholic beverages by Brazilian adolescents, being influenced by sociodemographic and mental health factors, adherence to social restriction measures and lifestyle. It is necessary to involve managers, educators, family and society in the articulation of Public Policies for the prevention of alcohol consumption.

Violence Against LGB+ people in Brazil: analysis of the National Health Survey, 2019 / Violência contra pessoas LGB+ no Brasil: análise da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, 2019

Objective: To analyze the association between self-reported sexual orientation and violence in the Brazilian population. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study using the 2019 National Health Survey database. Total violence and its subtypes (psychological, physical, and sexual) in the last 12 months were analyzed. Prevalence and Adjusted Odds Ratio by age group were estimated, with their respective 95% confidence intervals, according to self-reported sexual orientation of the population over 18 years in Brazil. Statistical significance of 5% was considered. Results: The Brazilian population report themselves mostly as heterosexual (94.75%), and 1.89% declaring themselves LGB+. This percentage was lower than that of respondents who refused to answer the question (2.28%). The prevalence of violence in Brazil was 18.27%, the most common subtype being psychological violence (17.36%). The LGB+ population was more than twice as likely to experience any type of violence. LGB+ women had the highest prevalence of all subtypes of violence and heterosexual men the lowest. LGB+ women were more than three times more likely to experience physical violence compared to heterosexual women. Meanwhile, LGB+ men were almost eight times more likely to experience sexual violence than heterosexual men. Conclusions: Violence against the LGB+ population was highly prevalent in the country. Public Policies aimed at this population are necessary so that prejudice against sexual diversity is faced and it is possible to guarantee the rights of non-heterosexual people.

Violência física contra mulheres perpetrada por parceiro íntimo: análise do VIVA Inquérito 2017 / Physical violence against women by an intimate partner: analysis of VIVA Survey 2017

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é caracterizar a violência física por parceiro íntimo sofrida por mulheres adultas atendidas nos serviços públicos de urgência e emergência do Brasil. Estudo transversal utilizando dados do VIVA Inquérito 2017. Foram calculados as frequências e os intervalos de confiança das características da vítima, da violência e do agressor. As associações das características foram identificadas por meio da análise de correspondência simples (ACS). A maioria das mulheres atendidas se autodeclarou da raça/cor da pele negra (70,2%) e foi vítima de agressor do sexo masculino (96,3%). A maioria das violências ocorreu em residência (71,1%) por meio de força corporal (74,1%). Na ACS, destaca-se a associação entre a faixa etária de 40 a 59 anos, escolaridade de até 08 anos de estudo, consumo de álcool pela vítima e violência por meio de armas (perfil 2); e a associação da faixa etária de 18 a 24 anos, raça/cor da pele negra, ausência de atividade remunerada, agressão em via pública e lesões de maior gravidade (perfil 4). Existem diferentes perfis de VPI para mulheres em diferentes contextos. O enfrentamento à VPI necessita de Políticas Públicas que considerem essas diferenças na construção de ações que foquem as mulheres e os perpetradores da violência.

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.

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.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe and compare the indicators corresponding to exposure to situations of violence experienced by in-school adolescents according to gender, type of school and Federation Units in 2015 and 2019. Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted with data from the National School Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar, PeNSE). The prevalence values and their respective 95% confidence intervals (85% CIs) of the indicators corresponding to exposure to situations of violence involving adolescents were described and compared. Results: They pointed out that: 11.6% missed classes due to insecurity on the way (95% CI: 11.1-12.1); 10.8% missed classes due to insecurity at school (95% CI: 10.3-11.2); and the highest prevalence values of violence were recorded among girls and public school students. Among the study indicators, it was found that the prevalence of students who were involved in physical fights was 10.6% (95% CI: 10.2-11.0), in fights with firearm use, 2.9% (95% CI: 2.7-3.1), and in fights with melee weapon use, 4.8% (95% CI: 4.5-5.1), most of them boys who attended public schools. 18.2% (95% CI: 17.7-18.7) reported having suffered an accident or aggression in the last year and 21.0% (95% CI: 20.5-21.6) stated having been assaulted by their mother/father/guardian, most of them from private schools. There were improvements in the following indicators between 2015 and 2019: engaging in a fight involving a firearm, from 6.4% (95% CI: 5.6-7.2) in 2015 to 2.9% (95% CI: 2.7-3.1) in 2019; and engaging in a fight involving a melee weapon, from 7.9% (95% CI: 7.0-8.8) in 2015 to 4.8% (95% CI: 4.5-5.1) in 2019. Conclusion: Adolescents are exposed to several types of violence in the school or community settings, in addition to experiencing violence in the family/domestic environment. These institutions should be capable of ensuring protection and healthy and safe development to adolescents.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the prevalence of sexual violence among schoolchildren aged from 13 to 17 years old in Brazil. Methods: a cross-sectional study conducted with data from the 2019 National School Health Survey. The prevalence values for sexual abuse and rape and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) involving students aged from 13 to 17 years old in Brazil were analyzed according to gender, age group, type of institution, aggressor, administrative region of residence and federated units. Results: the prevalence of sexual abuse among schoolchildren was 14.6% (95% CI: 14.2; 15.1) and the one for rape was 6.3% (95% CI: 6.0; 6.6). Higher prevalence values were found among female adolescents an in the age group of 16 and 17 years old. The most common aggressor for both indicators was boyfriend/girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, date or crush. Among the schoolchildren who were victims of rape, more than half reported having suffered this type of violence before 13 years of age (53.2%; 95% CI: 51.0; 55.4). Conclusion: sexual violence has high prevalence among schoolchildren aged from 13 to 17 years old in Brazil, in addition to the aggressions being mostly perpetrated by people from the family nucleus and by individuals with intimate and affection ties. Intersectoral articulation is necessary to develop public policies that act on coping with the problem.

Mortality and years of life lost to death or disability by interpersonal violence against women in Brazil: Global Burden of Disease Study, 1990 and 2019.

INTRODUCTION: Aggression against women is an important cause of morbidity and death. This study compares the variation of deaths and years of life lost to death or disability (DALY) caused by interpersonal violence against women in Brazil and its states. METHODS: This descriptive study analyzed estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) referring to interpersonal violence against women, aged 15 to 49 years, examining the mortality and DALY rates for Brazil and its states, in 1990 and 2019. RESULTS: In this study, 3,168 deaths of women between 15 and 49 years of age, caused by interpersonal violence, were estimated in 1990, and 4,262 in 2019, which represents an increase of 33.8%. Regardless of the Maria da Penha Law and the progress in policies for curbing violence against women, one can observe a stability in the mortality and DALY rates in most of the Brazilian states. Only Bahia had a significant increase in those rates, while Federal District, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo showed a significant decline. CONCLUSIONS: The rates of female homicide have remained stable when comparing 1990 and 2019. Although there were improvements in terms of women's rights in the early 2000's, the chauvinist and conservative society of Brazil has not been able to protect women, and the country might not reach the targets established by the UN's 2030 Agenda.

Prevalence and factors associated with intimate partner violence against adult women in Brazil: National Survey of Health, 2019.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with intimate partner violence against adult women in Brazil. METHODS: Quantitative cross-sectional epidemiological study using the database of the National Survey of Health 2019. The prevalence in the last 12 months and crude and adjusted prevalence ratios of intimate partner violence were calculated, stratified by sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS: Intimate partner violence was reported by 7.60% of Brazilian women aged from 18 to 59 years, with higher prevalence among younger women (8.96%), black women (9.05%), those with lower education level (8.55%) and low income (8.68%). After adjusted analysis, the age groups of 18-24 years old (PRadj: 1.41) and 25-39 years old (PRadj: 1.42) and income lower than one minimum wage (PRadj: 1.55) remained associated with intimate partner violence. CONCLUSIONS: Intimate partner violence was associated with younger and poorest women. This result points to the need to develop intersectoral policies, especially those aimed at reducing social inequalities and at the coping with intimate partner violence among adult women.

Prevalence of Angina Pectoris and Associated Factors in the Adult Population of Brazil: National Survey of Health, 2019.

OBJECTIVE: to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with angina pectoris in the Brazilian adult population and per federated units. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study that analyzed data from the National Survey of Health 2019 and assessed the prevalence of angina in the Brazilian population. Angina was defined as chest pain or discomfort when climbing hills or stairs, or when walking fast on flat terrain (angina I) or when walking at normal speed on flat terrain (angina II). Prevalence, crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated, with a 95% confidence interval, according to sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age group, self-reported race/skin color and region of residence) and federative units. RESULTS: The prevalence of mild angina (grade I) was 8.1% and of moderate/severe angina (grade II) was 4.5%, being both more prevalent in women (9.8 and 5.5%, respectively). The prevalence increased progressively with age and was inversely proportional to years of formal study. Grade I angina was higher in individuals self-reportedly black and residents of Sergipe (10,4%). Angina II was more prevalent in people self-reportedly brown and living in Amazonas (6.3%). CONCLUSION: Angina affects more than 10% of the Brazilian population aged 18 years old and more, with higher prevalence in states in the North and Northeast. This is a problem that affects the most vulnerable populations unequally, which places coronary heart disease as a public health problem and points to the need to think about public policies aimed at these strata of the population.

Sexual behaviors and condom use in the Brazilian population: analysis of the National Health Survey, 2019.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to describe the sexual behaviors and condom use in the Brazilian population. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study, which used data from 88,531 individuals aged 18 years old or older, who answered the second edition of the National Health Survey carried out in 2019. Prevalence was estimated with the respective 95% confidence intervals for each sexual behavior indicator and condom use according to gender, age, race/skin color, educational level, and region of residence. RESULTS: The majority of the Brazilian population has had sexual intercourse at some point in their lives (93.9%). Mean age of initiation was 17.3 years. Prevalence of consistent condom use was only 22.8%, being even lower among women (20.9%). Moreover, 59% of the population reported not having used a condom in the past 12 months, the main reason being trusting their partner (73.4%). The use of health services to obtain condoms was only 10.7%. It was observed that women, individuals with a higher age group, less education, and income had worse results in relation to the analyzed indicators, in addition to regional disparities. CONCLUSION: Low prevalence of condom use was observed in the Brazilian population. In addition, important socioeconomic and demographic disparities were observed, pointing out the need to revisit, strengthen and expand public policies in the sexual and reproductive health field in order to prevent risky sexual behaviors and promote condom use, including double protection.
