Health initiatives and public policies, with the object of preventing and treating these problemsf have increasingly been developed jn the last two decades (WHO; UNCF; UNU, 2001 ). Anemia is a disorder characterized by a reduction in the concentration of hemoglobin compared to reference levels. During pregnancy iron deficiency can be associated with multiple problems for both the mother and fetusf including heightened risk of hemorrhagef sepsisf maternal mortalityf perinatal mortality and low birth weight (WHO; UNCF; UNUf 2001). General objectives: To estimate the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women attended by the Family Health Care Units (USF) in the municipality of Feira de Santana within the period between october 2005 and March 2006. Specifc objetctives: To characterize the sociodemographicf socioeconomc and gynecological-obstetrical factors associated with the development of anemia in the pregnant women; to classify morphologically, and by severity, the anemia affecting the study population; to support pre-natal health initiatives for the treatment and, above all else, the prevention of this ailment. Methodology: A descriptive prevalence study was undertaken, seeking associations between possible correlated factors. The research included a representative study group of pregnant women attended by the Family Health Care Units in the municipality of Feira de Santana within the period between October 2005 and March 2006. A questionnaire containing question blocks related to personal details (age, weight, height, skin color), sociodemographic and socioeconomic information (including, amongst other questionsf marital status, education and salary), gynecologic and obstetric history (menarche, number of pregnancies, interval between pregnancies ant1 the use of anti-anemic drugs). Hematologic results (hemoglobin and hematocrit) were obtained from a testing laboratory that provides services to the Brazilian Health System (SUS) in Feira de Santana and attends to, amongst others, the pregnant women assisted by the USF . Results: The descriptive analysis showed that 31,9% of pregnant women interviewed were anemic. Through exploratory analysis the association between the occurrence of anemia and sociodemografic arid socioeconomic (low education levels, low family income and unstable living conditions), gynecological and obstetrical (pregnancy trimester, previous abortions, low birth weight in previous pregnancies) factors became evident. The analysis of the relationship between the occurrence of anemia in the women and anthropometric data revealed a connection with low birth weight. Conclusion: The results obtained point to the need to intervence in order to minimilize the causes of anemia, with the objective of reducing the frequency of this injury in the general population. / Introdu??o: Defici?ncias nutricionais e conseq?ente anemia constituem importantes problemas de Sa?de P?blica, tendo sido incrementadas nas duas ?ltimas d?cadas a??es de sa?de e pol?ticas p?blicas objetivando sua preven??o e tratamento (WHO; UNCF; UNU, 2001). A anemia ? uma desordem caracterizada pela diminui??o da concentra??o de hemoglobina em rela??o aos valores referenciais. Durante a gravidez a defici?ncia de ferro pode estar associada a m?ltiplas adversidades tanto para m?e como para o feto, incluindo aumento do risco de hemorragia, sepsis, mortalidade materna, mortalidade peri-natal e baixo peso ao nascer (WHO; UNCF; UNU, 2001). Objetivo Geral: Estimar a preval?ncia de anemia nas gestantes atendidas em Unidades de Sa?de da Fam?lia (USF) no munic?pio de Feira de Santana, no per?odo de outubro de 2005 a mar?o de 2006; Objetivos Espec?ficos: Caracterizar os determinantes sociais, econ?micos, demogr?ficos e ginecol?gico-obst?tricos, associados ao desenvolvimento de anemia na gesta??o. Classificar morfologicamente e quanto ao grau de severidade as anemias que acometem a popula??o em estudo. Subsidiar a??es de assist?ncia pr?-natal para tratamento e principalmente a preven??o desta enfermidade. Metodologia: Foi realizado estudo de preval?ncia, descritivo, buscando-se associa??es entre poss?veis fatores correlacionados. Foi inclu?da no estudo amostra representativa das gestantes atendidas nas Unidades de Sa?de da Fam?lia do munic?pio de Feira de Santana, no per?odo entre outubro de 2005 a mar?o de 2006. Foi utilizado formul?rio estruturado contendo blocos de quest?es relacionadas com os dados pessoais (idade, peso, altura, cor da pele); informa??es sociodemogr?ficas e socioecon?micas (incluindo, dentre outras quest?es, a situa??o conjugal, escolaridade, renda familiar); dados ginecol?gicos (menarca) e obst?tricos (n?mero de gesta??es, intervalo entre gesta??es, uso de antian?micos). Os dados hematol?gicos (hemoglobina e hemat?crito) foram obtidos em um laborat?rio de an?lises cl?nicas que presta servi?o ao Sistema ?nico de Sa?de (SUS) do munic?pio e que atende, entre outros, as gestantes assistidas nas USF. Resultados: A an?lise descritiva demonstrou preval?ncia de 31,9% de anemia entre as gestantes entrevistadas. Na an?lise explorat?ria ficou evidente a associa??o entre ocorr?ncia de anemia em fun??o de determinantes sociodemogr?ficos e socioecon?micos (baixo n?vel de escolaridade, baixa renda familiar em sal?rio m?nimo per capta, condi??es prec?rias de moradia) e ginecol?gicos e obst?tricos (trimestre gestacional, presen?a de aborto anterior, presen?a de filho com baixo peso ao nascer em gesta??es anteriores). A avalia??o da rela??o entre ocorr?ncia de anemia nas gestantes com os ?ndices antropom?tricos revelou associa??o com baixo peso. Conclus?o: Os resultados obtidos apontam para a necessidade de interven??es no sentido de minimizar os determinantes da anemia objetivando a redu??o da freq??ncia deste agravo na popula??o.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of TMD in dental students of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte assessed by different indexes. The sample consisted of 101 individuals selected by a randomized process, whose general outline was systematic sampling. For evaluation of the signs and symptoms of TMD, an anamnestic index, Fonseca s protocol, and two clinical indexes, the RDC/TMD (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders), or standard index, and the Helkimo s Clinical Dysfunction Index were applied. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and kappa, besides verifying the sensitivity and specificity (5% significance). The diagnosis of TMD by different indexes showed a variation in the prevalence between 72.3% (Helkimo s Clinical index), 64.4% (Fonseca s anamnestic index) and 35.6% (RDC/TMD). There was no statistical difference between the sexes for the RDC/TMD, although this difference was found for Fonseca s and Helkimo s indexes (p<0.05). The most frequent type of TMD were joint disorders (Groups II and III), and the subtypes disc displacement with reduction (17.8%) and arthralgia (15.8%). Most individuals showed a mild TMD (45.5%) for both indexes, Fonseca and Helkimo. When comparing the types of diagnoses, RDC/TMD with Fonseca and Helkimo, low agreement was found (k=0.17 and k= 0.35, respectively). A moderate correlation between the severity of TMD was obtained (kw= 0.53) for Fonseca s protocol and Helkimo s index. High sensitivity and low specificity were seen for both diagnoses compared to standard, resulting in excessive false positives. Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that the prevalence of TMD can vary widely, depending on the index used for its diagnosis / A epidemiologia das Disfun??es Temporomandibulares apresenta grande varia??o na literatura. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a preval?ncia da DTM nos estudantes do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte avaliada por diferentes ?ndices. A amostra constou de 101 indiv?duos selecionados por um processo de amostragem probabil?stica, cujo delineamento geral foi de amostragem sistem?tica. Para avalia??o dos sinais e sintomas da DTM utilizou-se um ?ndice anamn?sico, o protocolo de Fonseca, e dois ?ndices cl?nicos, o RDC/TMD (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibuar Disorders), ou ?ndice padr?o, e o ?ndice de Disfun??o Cl?nica de Helkimo. Os dados foram analisados por meio do teste Qui-Quadrado e teste de concord?ncia kappa, al?m da verifica??o da sensibilidade e especificidade (signific?ncia de 5%). O diagn?stico de DTM pelos diferentes ?ndices revelou uma varia??o na preval?ncia de 72,3% (?ndice cl?nico de Helkimo), 64,4% (?ndice anamn?sico de Fonseca) e 35,6% (RDC/TMD). N?o houve diferen?a estat?stica entre os sexos para o RDC/TMD, embora essa diferen?a tenha sido encontrada para os ?ndices de Fonseca e Helkimo (p<0,05). O tipo de DTM mais frequente foi a DTM articular (Grupos II e III), nos subtipos deslocamento de disco com redu??o (17,8%) e artralgia (15,8%). A maioria dos indiv?duos apresentou a forma mais leve da DTM (45,5%) para ambos os ?ndices, Fonseca e Helkimo. Quando comparados os tipos de diagn?sticos, RDC/TMD com o Fonseca e Helkimo, baixas concord?ncias foram encontradas (k=0,17 e k=0,35, respectivamente). Uma concord?ncia moderada entre a severidade da DTM foi obtida (kp=0,53) para o protocolo de Fonseca e o ?ndice de Helkimo. Alta sensibilidade e baixa especificidade foram vistas para ambos os diagn?sticos em rela??o ao padr?o, resultando em excesso de falsos-positivos. Dentro das limita??es do estudo, conclui-se que a preval?ncia das DTMs pode apresentar grandes varia??es, dependendo do ?ndice utilizado para seu diagn?stico

However, the data obtained by these ZCCs have been scarcely used for epidemiological studies. This essay had the objective to discover the epidemiological profile of the canine population assisted by the Service of First Attendance of the Zoonoses Control Center Paulo Dacorso Filho from January 2000 to December 2004, evaluating, indirectly, the aforementioned service. The data related to the variables sex, location, date and diagnosis were obtained from the register book of the Service and included in a database created through the program EPIINFO version 3.3.2. The diagnoses were categorized as of zoonotic or non zoonotic origin, and the ones classified in the second category were distributed into seventeen other categories, according to their characteristics. Distribution analysis of the frequency of diagnoses was performed, and the &#967;2 test was used to evaluate the association of these with the season of the year and the sex. Data from 10.586 clinical diagnoses of 9.668 dogs, being 5.429 (56,2%) males and 4.239 (43,8%) females were computed. The majority of the animals (99,3%) proceeded from the city of Rio de Janeiro and the others from nine cities nearby. Among the animals from the city of Rio de Janeiro, 89,5% were from the XIX Administrative Region, the majority being from the district of Santa Cruz, where the ZCC is located. Intestinal worms (8,9%), haemorrhagic gastroenteritis (6,1%) and distemper in the nervous stage (4,5%) were the most prevalent diagnoses. The prevalence of distemper in the respiratory stage, intestinal worms, scabies, ticks infestation, and myiasis showed seasonal variation. Males and females had different prevalences for transmissible venereal tumour, myiasis, and ascites, showing sex as a predisposing factor. The zoonoses suspicions occupied 15,8 % of the Service diagnoses, being leptospirosis and leishmaniosis cases confirmed by laboratorial exam. The lack of variables such as age and breed hindered a wider analysis of this population. The work done at the Service of First Attendance was characterized by ambulatory assistance, differing from the established primordial objective of the Service, that is the identification and control of zoonoses. / Os Centros de Controle de Zoonoses (CCZs) t?m como atribui??o fundamental prevenir e controlar as zoonoses, desenvolvendo sistemas de vigil?ncia sanit?ria e epidemiol?gica. N?o obstante, os dados produzidos por estes CCZs tem sido pouco utilizados para estudos epidemiol?gicos. Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer o perfil epidemiol?gico da popula??o canina que foi atendida no Servi?o de Pronto Atendimento do Centro de Controle de Zoonoses Paulo Dacorso Filho no per?odo de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2004, fazendo indiretamente uma avalia??o do referido Servi?o. Os dados relativos ?s vari?veis: sexo, localidade, data e diagn?stico foram obtidos a partir dos livros do Servi?o e inclu?dos em um banco de dados montado com o programa EPIINFO vers?o 3.3.2. Os diagn?sticos foram categorizados como sendo de origem zoon?tica e n?o zoon?tica, e os classificados na segunda categoria foram distribu?dos em dezessete outras categorias, de acordo com suas caracter?sticas. Fez-se an?lise da distribui??o das freq??ncias dos diagn?sticos, e o teste do &#967;2 foi utilizado para avaliar a associa??o destes com a esta??o do ano e o sexo. Foram computados 10.586 diagn?sticos cl?nicos em 9.668 c?es, dos quais 5.429 (56,2%) machos e 4.239 (43,8%) f?meas. A maioria dos animais (99,3 %) procedeu do munic?pio do Rio de Janeiro, e o restante de outros nove munic?pios. Dos animais do munic?pio do Rio de Janeiro, 89,5 % procederam da XIX Regi?o Administrativa, sendo a maioria do bairro Santa Cruz, onde se localiza o CCZ. As verminoses (8,9%), a gastroenterite hemorr?gica (6,1 %) e a cinomose na fase nervosa (4,5%) foram os diagn?sticos mais prevalecentes. As preval?ncias de cinomose na fase respirat?ria, verminoses, sarnas, infesta??o por carrapatos e mi?ases apresentaram varia??o sazonal. Machos e f?meas apresentaram preval?ncias diferenciadas para tumor ven?reo transmiss?vel, mi?ases e ascite, sinalizando ser o sexo um fator predisponente. As suspeitas de zoonoses constitu?ram 15,8% dos diagn?sticos do Servi?o, sendo que casos de leptospirose e leishmaniose foram confirmados laboratorialmente. A aus?ncia de dados sobre a idade e ra?a impediu uma an?lise mais abrangente desta popula??o. O servi?o prestado pelo Servi?o de Pronto Atendimento caracterizou-se por atendimento ambulatorial, divergindo muito dos objetivos primordiais estabelecidos para o Servi?o, que ? voltado para a identifica??o e controle de zoonoses.

There were collected 380 blood samples and tested with ELISA and Indirect immunofluorescence (RIFI) for B. equi and for B. caballi was used competitive ELISA. The sample number was statistically representative for the equine population of the state. Testing positive for B. equi by ELISA and RIFI were 31,6% and 35,8%, respectively, of the samples examined. The prevalence of B. caballi was 0,86%. The concordance between tests was considered high as shown by the Kappa index of 0,86%. There was not observed a statistically significant difference (p<0,05) between the sex, age and breed of the horses. According to the present study the northern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul can be characterized as an area of enzootic instability for B. equi and B. caballi, offering risks of economic losses due to babesiosis outbreaks, especially in sensible animals introduced from indene areas, horse trade and participating in events (as rodeos, auction sales, and others) or even in animals born in the region. Analyzing the questionnaires, the maintaining systems and the purposes of the equine use were the factors that had influence on the prevalence of equine babesiosis. / O trabalho teve por objetivo determinar a preval?ncia da Babesia equi e B. caballi em eq?inos da regi?o Norte do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul bem como conhecer as pr?ticas de manejo adotadas e identificar os principais fatores que est?o envolvidos na sua transmiss?o e preval?ncia. Coletaram-se 380 amostras de sangue, n?mero estatisticamente representativo para a popula??o de eq?inos em estudo, as quais foram analisadas por meio do teste de ELISA e pela rea??o de imunofluoresc?ncia indireta (RIFI) e para a B. caballi foi utilizado o Elisa competitivo. Do total das amostras, 31,6% e 35,8% foram positivas para B. equi ao teste de ELISA e RIFI respectivamente, sendo que, a preval?ncia de B. caballi foi de apenas 0,86%. A concord?ncia entre os testes foi considerada ?tima, atrav?s do ?ndice Kappa de 0,87. N?o foi constatada nenhuma diferen?a significativa estatisticamente (p<0,05) entre o sexo, ra?as e faixas et?rias dos eq?inos. De acordo com o presente estudo a regi?o Norte do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul ?, portanto caracterizada como uma ?rea de instabilidade enzo?tica para B. equi e B. caballi oferecendo riscos reais de ocorr?ncia e perdas econ?micas causadas por surtos de babesiose causada por B. equi e B. caballi especialmente em animais sens?veis, procedentes de ?reas indenes, com?rcio de animais, participa??o em eventos (esportivos ou recreativos dentro ou fora da Regi?o ou Estado) ou mesmo entre animais nascidos naquela regi?o. Ap?s a an?lise dos question?rios, os sistemas e as finalidades da cria??o foram os ?nicos fatores que influenciaram na preval?ncia das babesioses equinas.

In this purpose, a sectional study of infantiles aging 5, 8 and 12 years old was carried out. The average prevalance of malocclusions in the group as a whole was 76,5%. Considering the different dentitions separately, the study showed malocclusion prevalence as follows: Deciduous Dentition 75,5%; Mixed Dentition 84% and Permanent Dentition 70,5%. The most common malocclusion cases found in the deciduous dentition were openbite (20.6%); overbite (16.6%) and maxillary overjet (14,7). Mixed Dentition: the most commonly found occlusional malfunctions in this dentitional phase were maxillary overjet (33,8%); crowding (28,3%), and mandillary discrepancy (19,9%). In the univaried analysis, he application of the Chi square test of independence, (significance 5%), has indicated a meaningful association of the variables social class (p=0,019), primata space (p = 0,036), habits (p= 0,002) and time-and-habit (P=0,03). The same test on the permanent dentition group revealed a significant association for the independent variables, as follows: Social class (p=O,OOO), School (p=O,OOI), Income (p=O,OOO), housing standard (p=0,001), facial pattem (p=0,004), caries record (p=0,031). No significant association was found in the mixed dentition. The Logistic Regression analysis on the deciduous dentition has shown that income, ethnicity, habit and canine relationship constitute factors of risk regardless of the other variables. As for the permanent dentition, only Facial Pattem was pointed as a factor of risk for the formation of malocclusion / O prop?sito deste estudo foi verificar a preval?ncia de oclusopatias, bem como dos seus determinantes nas denti??es dec?dua, mista e permanente na cidade de Natal/RN. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo seccional com crian?as de 5, 8 e 12 anos (n=765). A preval?ncia geral de oclusopatias, observando-se as tr?s denti??es, foi de 76,5%. No que se refere ? preval?ncia para cada denti??o obteve-se 75,5% para a denti??o dec?dua, 84,8% e 70,5% para as denti??es mista e permanente, respectivamente. As principais oclusopatias encontrada na denti??o dec?dua foram a mordida aberta anterior (20,6%), seguida da mordida profunda (16,6%) e sobressali?ncia positiva (14,7%). Em rela??o ? denti??o mista, os problemas oclusais encontrados foram a sobressali?ncia positiva (33,8%), apinhamento (28,3%) e discrep?ncia maxilar (20,7%). Essa predomin?ncia permanece inalterada na denti??o permanente e, dessa forma, teve-se: sobressali?ncia positiva (27,4%), apinhamento (22,8%) e discrep?ncia maxilar (19,9%). Na an?lise univariada, atrav?s do teste Qui-quadrado (n?vel de signific?ncia de 5%), verificou-se associa??o significativa em rela??o ? presen?a de oclusopatias na denti??o dec?dua, para os fatores de risco: classe econ?mica (p=0,019), espa?o primata (p=0,036), rela??o dos caninos (p=0,000), h?bitos (p=0,002) e tempo e h?bito ?p=0,03). Para a denti??o permanente, associa??o significativa com a presen?a de oclusopatias, foi encontrada para classe econ?mica (p=0,000), escola (p=0,001), renda (=p0,000), tipo de moradia (p=0,001), padr?o facial (p=0,004) e experi?ncia de c?rie (p=0,031). N?o houve associa??o signifiacativa entre nenhum fatores de risco, e a presen?a de oclusopatias na denti??o mista. Na an?lise de regress?o log?sitica, para a denti??o dec?dua, observou-se que, renda, etnia, h?bito e rela??o dos caninos constitu?ram fator de risco, independente das outras vari?veis estudadas. Na denti??o permanente, apenas o padr?o facial (P= 0,025), foi fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de oclusopatias. Os achados desse estudo revelaram que, tanto a preval?ncia quanto a necessidade de tratamento apresentaram percentuais elevados e, portanto faz-se necess?rio a cria??o de estrat?gias para minimizar esse problema, bem como evitar exposi??es aos fatores de risco de interven??o, tais como, baixa renda e h?bitos e aos moduladores dos fatores de risco heredit?rios: etnia, rela??o dos caninos e pad?o facial

For the ?Structure and Body function? domain the following instruments were used: Hoehn & Yahr (HY) Disability Scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale - UPDRS (part III, motor subscale), Grip strength, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS - 15) and Falls Efficacy Scale ? International (FES - I). The following were applied for the ?Activity? domain: Nine Hole Peg Test (9HPT), UPDRS (part II, activities of daily life), Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOGQ), MiniBESTest, Timed Up & Go (TUG), Human Activity Profile (HAP), 10 Meter Walking Test (10MWT) and Five Times Sit to Stand (STDP - 5X). In the ?Participation? domain, the Parkinson Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PDQ ? 39) test was used. All participants were assessed during the ?ON? time of antiparkinsonian medication. Statistical analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA) 21.0 software. Data normality was verified by the Shapiro-Wilks test, adopting p < 0.05. Article 1 ? The variables related to physical functioning, mental health and quality of life were compared between sexes using the Student?s t-test for independent samples and the Mann-Whitney U test. Article 2 ? Binary logistic regression was applied to determine the predictors of falls, where variables with p < 0.10 were included in the final multivariate model. Results: Article 1 ? More than half the sample (64.1%) was composed of men, with higher prevalence in the 70-79 year age group (35.9%). With respect to the number of comorbidities, 52 (66.7%) had 4 or more and the most reported were visual dysfunction (87.2%). Significant differences were observed between men and women for grip strength (p= 0.001), MiniBESTest (p=0.034), FES ? I (p=0.004) and PDQ ? 39 (p=0.006), where women exhibited worse performance. Dementia (64.1%) was present in the entire sample. Article 2 ? In regard to history of falls, 47 (60.3%) individuals in the sample were classified as ?non-fallers? and 31 (39.7%) as ?recurring fallers?. The following risk factors were associated with recurring falls: prolonged PD [OR=1.24, (95% CI=1.05?1.47), p=0.010], presence of systemic hypertension [OR=5.81, (95% CI=1.46?23.09), p=0.012), evacuation difficulties [OR=3.71, (95% CI=1.01?13.66), p=0.048] and presence of freezing [OR=3.78, (95% CI=1.02?13.97), p=0.046]. Conclusion: The sample was predominantly male, elderly, physically disabled or inactive, with the presence of dementia, depressive symptoms and a majority classified as ?non-fallers?. PD duration, systemic hypertension, evacuation difficulties, and freezing are risk factors for recurring falls in the study sample. Knowledge of the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in the population with PD would provide physiotherapists and the health team with better understanding of its prognosis, thereby contributing to planning therapies that meet the real demands of this population.

VLBW). Currently, prematurity is the leading cause of infant mortality and it is estimated that each year 15 million premature babies are born in the world. Health problems in short and long term are widely known in these newborns, such as pulmonary, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, infections, as well as vision and hearing deficiencies. Emotional and financial consequences are also being observed in these families, as well as high costs to health systems. In order to elucidate the trend over the last decades of this group of newborns, this study was carried out to verify the prevalence, mortality and association with some risk factors. For this purpose, we used data from the Pelotas birth cohorts from 1982, 1993, 2004 and 2015 that cover all live births in the city in the year in question. Each birth was computed and anthropometric measures including weight were performed. After birth a perinatal questionnaire was applied to the mothers. Mortality was identified through visits to hospitals, cemeteries and registry offices, and from 2004 on, it was evaluated through the SIM (Mortality Information System). Over these years, 225 individuals were born alive weighing <1500g, which represented our object of study. In addition to this specific group we also observed the evolution of birth prevalence by birth weight groups and neonatal mortality (up to 28 days of life) also divided by weight. The reviews of number of births and mortality were descriptive. For the contingency tables (birth weight and mortality by weight), chi-square test for proportions was used and Poisson regression with robust variance was used to correlate the risk factors. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the prevalence of VLBW from the year 2004, which remained high in 2015. A significant reduction in neonatal mortality was observed over the years, both in this specific group and in general mortality. Regarding the risk factors studied, there was a significant relation found between lower family income (mainly between the poorest 60% and the richest 40%) and VLBW but no relation was found between VLBW and maternal age or type of delivery. With this study it was possible to aggregate knowledge and demonstrate the trend of this group of newborns over 33 years and to correlate some risk factors in a medium sized city that can represent the reality of a large part of Brazil. In order to promote the reduction of the prevalence, mortality and morbidity of these newborns, investments in prevention as well as in the care of these newborns should be made. Committees and prevention protocols are being created in different parts of the world. We hope to draw attention to this group of babies, contribute with our data and influence new studies on this very relevant topic. / A prematuridade ? um problema de sa?de global que resulta em alta morbimortalidade, principalmente em beb?s que nascem com menos de 32 semanas de idade gestacional e menores que 1500 gramas de peso (muito baixo peso ao nascer ? MBPN). Atualmente, a prematuridade ? a principal causa de mortalidade infantil e, a estimativa ? que, a cada ano, nas?am 15 milh?es de prematuros no mundo. Sequelas em curto e em longo prazo s?o amplamente conhecidas nesses rec?m-nascidos como doen?as pulmonares, cardiovasculares, metab?licas, neurol?gicas, infecciosas, al?m de problemas de vis?o e de audi??o. Consequ?ncias emocionais e financeiras est?o sendo observadas nas fam?lias, assim como um alto custo nos sistemas de sa?de. Para auxiliar na compreens?o desta tend?ncia ao longo das ?ltimas d?cadas deste grupo de rec?m-nascidos foi realizado este estudo, que visou verificar a preval?ncia, a mortalidade e a associa??o com alguns fatores de risco. Para isto, foram utilizados dados das coortes de nascimentos de Pelotas dos anos de 1982, 1993, 2004 e 2015 que contemplam todos os nascidos vivos na cidade no ano em quest?o. Cada nascimento foi computado e medidas antropom?tricas incluindo o peso foram realizadas. Ap?s o nascimento foi aplicado ?s m?es um question?rio perinatal. A mortalidade foi identificada por meio de visitas a hospitais, cemit?rios, tabelionatos e cart?rios, sendo, a partir de 2004, avaliada por meio do SIM (Sistema de Informa??o de Mortalidade). Ao longo desses anos, nasceram vivos 225 indiv?duos pesando <1500g, que representaram o nosso objeto de estudo. Al?m de estudar este grupo espec?fico tamb?m observamos a evolu??o da preval?ncia de nascimentos por grupos de peso ao nascer e a mortalidade neonatal (at? 28 dias de vida) dividida por peso. As an?lises de n?mero de nascimentos e de mortalidade foram descritivas. Para as tabelas de conting?ncia (peso ao nascer e mortalidade por peso) foi utilizado o teste de qui-quadrado para propor??es e para correlacionar os fatores de risco foi empregada a regress?o de Poisson com vari?ncia robusta. Os resultados demostraram que houve um aumento significativo da preval?ncia de MBPN a partir do ano de 2004, a qual se manteve alta em 2015. Foi observada uma redu??o importante na mortalidade neonatal ao longo dos anos, tanto desse grupo espec?fico quanto da mortalidade em geral. Sobre os fatores de risco estudados, houve rela??o significativa entre menor renda familiar (principalmente entre os 60% mais pobres e os 40% mais ricos) e MBPN, mas n?o foi encontrada rela??o entre MBPN e idade materna ou tipo de parto. Com este estudo foi poss?vel agregar conhecimento e demonstrar a tend?ncia deste grupo de rec?m-nascidos ao longo de 33 anos e correlacionar alguns fatores de risco, em uma cidade de porte m?dio que pode representar grande parte da realidade brasileira. Para promover a diminui??o da preval?ncia, mortalidade e morbidade dos rec?m-nascidos de MBPN, ? imprescind?vel que haja investimentos na preven??o, assim como na assist?ncia a estes rec?m-nascidos. Comit?s e protocolos de preven??o est?o sendo criados em diferentes partes do mundo. Esperamos chamar aten??o para este grupo de beb?s, contribuir com os nossos dados e influenciar novos estudos sobre este tema t?o relevante.

The study of this syndrome is of great importance to public health, since it can lead to negative outcomes that could increase their risk of cardiovascular disease in the general population. OBJECTIVE: Investigate the occurrence of metabolic syndrome and associated factors in adults treated in public health services in the city of Feira de Santana - BA. METHOD: epidemiological study, cross-sectional and exploratory conducted in 479 adults aged at least 20 years, seen at public health services in the fair city of Santana - BA. Information was obtained through structured questionnaires, anthropometric clinical and oral, and biochemists. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome took into account the criteria proposed by the National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III / (NCEP-ATP III) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Prevalence ratios were estimated (PR) and their respective confidence intervals of 95% (95% CI) and statistical significance level of 5%. Multivariate analysis was constructed using Poisson regression. RESULTS: Presented in the form of a scientific paper: "Metabolic syndrome and its associated factors in adults", to be submitted to the Journal Brazilian Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism. The occurrence of MS ranged from 57% (NCEP / ATP III) to 62% (IDF). In the bivariate analysis female, advanced age, overweight, and some comorbidities proved to be independently associated with MS. In the hierarchic analysis, only BMI ? 30 kg / m? (NCEP-ATPIII) and no measurement of blood pressure periodically (IDF) remained independently associated with metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: The metabolic syndrome is a public health problem among individuals in this study. The body mass index ? 30 kg / m2 not regular blood pressure measurements are important predictors of the metabolic syndrome in adults. / A S?ndrome Metab?lica ? um conjunto de altera??es constitu?do por dislipidemia, intoler?ncia ? glicose, hipertens?o arterial, obesidade e a hiperinsulinemia.

In order to contribute for the knowledge of prevailing of the overweight and the obesity and its factors of risk, in Feira de Santana city, it has been evaluated a significative sample of the employees of Feira de Santana State University (number of 435 persons 73,2%). We use a questionnaire applied during the interview were identified biological variables (gender, age, birth ability, familiar history of obesity, presence of diseases related to obesity); socioeconomic variables (education and family income) and socio-behavioral (marital status, food habits, practice of physical activity, smoking and consumption of alcoholic drinks).Overweight and obesity were defined through the body mass index (BMI) adapting the established criteria by WHO (1997): values between 25 and 29,9 kg\m2 for overweight and the same values or bigger of 30kg/m2 for obesity. The measure of the abdominal circumference was used to evaluate the risks of heart diseases, adopting the suggested values by Latin American Consensus of obesity (1998): high risk &#8805; 94 cm in men and &#8805;80 in women; very high risk &#8805; 102 cm in men and &#8805; 88cm in women. In the descriptive analysis were included all the individuals, and in the exploratory analysis were excluded the individuals with low weight (number of 18). Among the 435 participants of the study, the prevailation of overweight and obesity was 31,15% and 10,34% respectively. Among men, these prevailations were of 34,55% and 10,81% ; and among the women of 30,66% and 10,10% respectively. Using the X2 test, it has been observed age, birth condition, family history, daily frequency of food, and kind of physical activity are the variables which show differences in the distribution of weight. For a multivariate analysis it has been made a model using multiple regression with the following variables: age, family history of obesity, birth condition, individuals with and without mates, education, income, practice, duration and frequency of physical activity, number of meals, the use of alcoholic drinks, smoking. It has been done three analyses, the first with men and women; the second only with men and the third only with women. The BMI presented a positive association with family history in all the analyses; the same occurred with income among men and women. In relation to the education the BMI decreases in the answer to the increasing of the level of education only with women. An inverse association occurred with smoking among men and women, and among men isolated. The obtained results point to the necessity of the measures aiming for the control and the prevention of obesity by the official health institutions. / A obesidade ? considerada, atualmente, grave problema de sa?de p?blica, constituindo-se em fator de risco para doen?as cr?nicas freq?entes na sociedade moderna, como diabetes melitus, dislipidemias, doen?as cardiovasculares e certos tipos de c?ncer. Objetivando contribuir para o conhecimento da preval?ncia do sobrepeso e da obesidade e seus fatores de risco, na cidade de Feira de Santana, foi avaliada amostra significativa dos funcion?rios da Universidade Estadual (n=435 -73,2%). Atrav?s de question?rio aplicado em entrevista foram identificadas vari?veis biol?gicas (g?nero, idade, paridade, hist?ria familiar de obesidade, presen?a de doen?as relacionadas ? obesidade); socioecon?micas (escolaridade e renda familiar) e sociocomportamentais (estado civil, h?bitos alimentares, pr?tica de atividade f?sica, tabagismo e consumo de bebidas alco?licas). Sobrepeso e obesidade foram definidos atrav?s do ?ndice de Massa Corp?rea (IMC) adotando os crit?rios definidos pela OMS (1997): valores entre 25 e 29,9 kg/m2 para sobrepeso e valores iguais ou maiores de 30 kg/m2 para obesidade. Medida da circunfer?ncia abdominal foi utilizada para avalia??o dos riscos de comorbidades, adotando valores sugeridos pelo Consenso Latino Americano de Obesidade (1998): risco elevado &#8805; 94 cm no homem e &#8805; 80 cm na mulher e risco muito elevado &#8805; 102 cm no homem e &#8805; 88 cm na mulher. Na an?lise descritiva foram inclu?dos todos os indiv?duos, e na an?lise explorat?ria, foram exclu?dos os indiv?duos com baixo peso (n=18). Dentre os 435 participantes do estudo, a preval?ncia de sobrepeso e obesidade foi de 31,95% e 10,34%, respectivamente. Entre os homens, estas preval?ncias foram de 34,46% e 10,81% e entre as mulheres de 30,66% e 10,10%, respectivamente. Utilizando o teste de Qui-quadrado, foi observado que idade, paridade, hist?ria familiar, freq??ncia di?ria da alimenta??o e tipo de atividade f?sica s?o as vari?veis que apontaram diferen?as na distribui??o do peso. Para an?lise multivariada, foi constru?do modelo utilizando a regress?o m?ltipla com as seguintes vari?veis: idade, hist?ria familiar de obesidade, paridade, indiv?duos com e sem companheiros, escolaridade, renda, a pr?tica, a dura??o e a freq??ncia da atividade f?sica, n?mero de refei??es, uso e quantidades de bebidas alco?licas, tabagismo. Foram realizadas tr?s an?lises, uma com homens e mulheres, outra apenas com homens e outra apenas com mulheres. O IMC apresentou associa??o positiva com a hist?ria familiar em todas as an?lises; o mesmo ocorreu com a renda entre homens e mulheres. Em rela??o ? escolaridade, o IMC diminui em resposta ? eleva??o do n?vel de escolaridade apenas entre as mulheres. Associa??o inversa ocorreu com o tabagismo entre homens e mulheres e entre os homens, isoladamente. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a necessidade de medidas objetivando o controle e a preven??o da obesidade por parte dos ?rg?os de sa?de.

Nesse sentido, a sa?de autorreferida (SAR), bem como o exerc?cio f?sico (EF), t?m sido utilizados como medidas de monitora??o do estado de sa?de e tratamento dessa enfermidade, respectivamente. A SAR ? um preditor de morbimortalidade e para an?lise ? categorizada em sa?de autorreferida boa (SAR B) e prec?ria (SAR P). Por outro lado, o EF surgiu como um dos pilares no manejo da IC, mas apesar das elevadas evid?ncias sobre seus benef?cios, a ader?ncia a essa pr?tica estima-se que ? baixa no Brasil. Objetivo: Estimar a preval?ncia de IC e associa??o com SAR e pr?tica de EF no Brasil. M?todos: Estudo transversal que utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Sa?de (PNS) realizada em 2013, com dados v?lidos para 59.655 adultos (? 18 anos). A preval?ncia de IC, avaliada pela pergunta ?Algum m?dico j? lhe deu o diagn?stico de IC??, relacionou-se ?s caracter?sticas sociodemogr?ficas, percep??o do estado de sa?de (SAR, percep??es de sa?de f?sica e mental), diagn?stico de depress?o, pr?tica de EF e as barreiras ao EF. Foram realizadas as an?lises descritiva, bivariada e multivariada. O modelo final da associa??o entre IC e SAR P foi testado pela regress?o de Poisson com vari?ncia robusta. Para a pr?tica de EF utilizou-se o comando svy, a fim de considerar os pesos amostrais e expandir os resultados para a popula??o brasileira. Resultados: O diagn?stico de IC foi referido por 1,1% dos entrevistados. Observou-se que ter o diagn?stico m?dico de IC aumenta em quatro vezes a chance de ter pior percep??o de sa?de (OR = 4,17; IC95% 3,65?4,76), contudo essa medida reduz para menos da metade, quando ajustado por faixa et?ria e percep??o da sa?de f?sica (OR = 1,78; IC95% 1,52?2,08). Os indiv?duos com IC tiveram mais de 80% de chance de n?o praticar EF nos ?ltimos 3 meses. Os aposentados praticaram mais EF que os n?o aposentados (2,77 %; IC95% 1,51?4,04). Quanto ? participa??o dos indiv?duos com IC em um programa p?blico de EF, a preval?ncia dos que n?o participaram foi 15% maior em rela??o aos indiv?duos que participaram desse programa. Observou-se que a principal barreira foi a de sa?de/incapacidade, seguida da barreira f?sica e posteriormente, da barreira comportamental. Conclus?o: A associa??o entre IC e SAR P revela a forma como essa doen?a influencia a qualidade de vida dos brasileiros com tal mol?stia. Destaca-se a baixa preval?ncia da pr?tica de EF e, dentre os que praticaram, os aposentados s?o a maioria. Observou-se que a principal barreira neste estudo foi a de problemas de sa?de/incapacidade. / Background: Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important current clinical challenges in the area of global health, with epidemic profile in progress. In this sense, self-rated health (SRH), as well as physical exercise (PE), have been used as measures of health monitoring and treatment of this disease, respectively. SRH is a predictor of morbidity and mortality and to analysis is categorized into good self-rated health (SRH G) and poor (SRH P). On the other hand, PE emerged as one of the pillars in the handling of the HF, but despite the high evidence on their benefits, the adherence to this practice estimated that is low in Brazil. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of HF and association with SRH and PE practice in Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study that used data from the National Health Survey (NHS) held in 2013, with valid data to 59,655 adults (? 18 years). The prevalence of HF, assessed by question "Some doctor gave you the diagnosis of HF?", related to sociodemographics, health perception (SRH, perceptions of physical and mental health), diagnosis of depression, practice of PE and PE barriers. Descriptive analyses were performed, bivariate and multivariate. The final model of the association between HF and SRH P was tested by Poisson regression with robust variance. For PE svy command was used, in order to consider the sample weights and expand the results for the brazilian population. Results: The diagnosis of HF was referenced by 1.1% of respondents. It was observed that having the medical diagnosis of HF increases by four times the chance of having worse perception of health (OR = 4.17; 95%CI 3.65?4.76), however this measure reduces to less than half, when adjusted for age and perception of physical health (OR = 1.78; 95%CI 1.52?2.08). Individuals with HF have had over 80% chance of not practicing PE in the last 3 months. Retirees have done more PE than non-retirees (2.77%; 95%CI 1.51?4.04). On the participation of individuals with HF in a public program of PE, the prevalence of which did not participate in was 15% higher in relation to individuals who participated in this program. It was observed that the main barrier to health/disability, followed by the physical barrier and the behavioral barrier.
