BackgroundPhysical inactivity has been linked to headache disorders, but data regarding the current recommended leisure-time (LTPA) and commuting physical activity (CPA) levels is unknown.ObjectiveTo test the associations between headache disorders (definite and probable migraine tension type headache-TTH) and physical inactivity in these domains (LTPA and CPA) in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).MethodsIn a cross-sectional analysis, logistic regression models computed the odds ratio (OR) for the relationship between headache disorders and physical activity (LTPA and CPA) in the following levels: “active” (Reference), “insuciently active”, and “inactive”. The full models were controlled for the effects of sociodemographic data, cardiovascular risk profile, and use of headache medication (migraine prophylaxis)ResultsOf 15,0105 participants, 14,847 (45.6 % of men and 54.4 % women) responded the baseline interviews regarding physical activity levels and headache disorders. Overall, most significant physical inactivity was observed in LTPA domain for definite migraine [OR: 1.32 (1.10-1.57)] and probable migraine [OR: 1.33 (1.17-1.50)]. Similar findings were replicated by sex. Physical inactivity (LTPA) was positively associated with definite migraine in women [OR: 1.29 (1.04-1.59)], probable migraine in both men [OR: 1.40 (1.15-1.69)] and women [OR: 1.29 (1.04-1.59)]. Physical inactivity in CPA domain was associated to increased OR for probable TTH in men [OR: 1.33 (1.01-1.75)], while CPA was inversely associated to definite migraine [OR: 0.79 (0.64-0.98)] and probable migraine [OR: 0.80 (0.67-0.96)] in women. Considering all headaches, unmet vigorous physical activity levels were associated to increased OR for definite migraine [OR: 1.36 (1.13-1.65)] and probable migraine [OR: 1.37 (1.20-1.57)]. Finally, we found higher odds for daily headaches among LTPA-inactive [OR: 1.73 (1.20-2.49)] and CPA-insufficiently active [ OR: 1.36 (1.04-1.79)] participants.ConclusionPhysical inactivity is associated with headache disorders in the ELSA-Brasil study, with distinct associations regarding headache subtype, sex, physical activity domain and intensity, and headache frequency.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of obstetric violence and characterize it according to the socioeconomic profile of patients treated in the public healthcare service in Sergipe. This is an observational study involving women who have given birth in the past 5 years up to the date of the interview. A questionnaire was used, addressing socioeconomic variables and variables related to the childbirth conditions, using Fisher's exact test for the analysis. The results showed a prevalence of 95.53% of obstetric violence. Among these, 90.64% were in the age range of 20-39 years, 71.93% were Christians, 54.97% were of mixed race, 35.09% had completed high school, and 78.36% had an income of less than 2 minimum wages (R$2090) and 88.83% reported the misuse of techniques and procedures. Finally, 62.57% had a normal delivery. It is concluded that there is a high prevalence of obstetric violence associated with an income of less than 2 minimum wages and normal delivery and a high prevalence of misuse of procedures.
The Health, Well-being and Aging (SABE - Saúde, Bem-estar e Envelhecimento) study was developed by the Pan American Health Organization (OPAS/OMS) to provide information on the living conditions of the elderly. The multi-center survey on health and well-being of the elderly was carried out in seven urban areas in Latin America and the Caribbean. The study took place between October 1999 and December 2000 in Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, and Uruguay. In 2006, only in Brazil, the SABE Study became a longitudinal and multiple cohort study with the aid of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Ministry of Health. In each cohort (2006, 2010 and 2015), data was collected among the elderly who were participants in 2000, and new 60 to 64-year-old subjects were inserted. The probabilistic sample of the participating individuals was obtained through the method of multi-stage conglomerates sampling by stratifying the primary units. We also considered the socioeconomic strata of the municipality urban area. The baseline for carrying out the sample calculation was the population count of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Data was collected by trained interviewers. They used a standardized questionnaire to retrieve information regarding, for example, cognitive assessment, health status, and use and access to services. At the moment, the SABE Study follows 1,224 elderly individuals. The information collected from the SABE Study is available through the electronic address <http://hygeia3.fsp.usp.br/sabe/>. The aging process occurs differently when factors such as sex and socioeconomic aspects are considered. Thus, accompanying the elderly over time and knowing their living conditions are essential for proposing public policies according to reality. Key messages The Health, Well-being and Aging (SABE) study has been monitoring elderly people since 2000 in the city of São Paulo and provides information on their living conditions. The monitoring of the elderly enables the development of public policies that are more focused on the needs presented.
