“…Longitudinal studies have high potential to inform about possible causes and determinants of health and disease over the life course. In Brazil, the overall quality of health data is good due to major national health surveys (Malta & Szwarcwald, 2015) accompanied by several sophisticated cohort studies (Aquino et al, 2012;Horta et al, 2015;Lima-Costa, Firmo, & Uchoa, 2011). However, indigenous peoples in Brazil are rarely contemplated by national survey sampling methodologies and have not yet been addressed by any major cohort study.…”

Objective The Xavante Longitudinal Health Study was developed to permit granular tracking of contemporary health challenges faced by indigenous communities in Brazil, taking into consideration ongoing historical processes that may be associated with increases in child undernutrition, adult obesity, and cardiovascular disease risks. Methods This was an open‐cohort study with six semiannual data collection waves from 2009 to 2012. The study was undertaken in two Xavante villages, Pimentel Barbosa and Etênhiritipá, State of Mato Grosso, Central Brazil. No sampling technique was used. Data collection placed emphasis on growth and nutrition of children under five and nutrition status, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels of adolescents and adults. Results Baseline data collection began in July/August 2009 with a population census (656 individuals). Between the first and final waves, the study population increased by 17%. At baseline, stunting and wasting was elevated for most age groups <10 years. Overweight, obesity, and increased risk of metabolic complications were expressive among individuals >17 years, disproportionately affecting females. Anemia was elevated in most age groups, especially among females. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was moderate. The overall prevalence of high blood pressure was relatively low. Conclusions Our findings reveal marked health disparities relative to the Brazilian national population and a complex dietary health epidemiology involving the double burden of malnutrition, rapidly changing nutritional indicators, and elevated metabolic disease risk. The topically broad multidisciplinary focus permitted construction of the richest longitudinal data set of socio‐epidemiological information for an indigenous population in Brazil.

“…Measuring underreporting is important to design and improve public policy programs and strategies, since the lack of accurate information on the mortality rate prevents knowledge of the local epidemiological reality, limiting the system's actions and decreasing the effectiveness of health surveillance 50 .…”

Aspectos epidemiológicos e deontológicos da mortalidade no trânsito em Roraima

Resumo Este estudo avalia a mortalidade no trânsito em Roraima sob os aspectos da epidemiologia e da deontologia. Trata-se de pesquisa longitudinal e descritiva, que comparou dados do Instituto Médico Legal de Roraima, do Sistema de Vigilância de Violências e Acidentes e do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. A maioria das vítimas era homens (85,2%), pardos (81,5%), residentes em área urbana (81,5%), solteiros (66,7%), com entre 15 e 34 anos (54,9%). As lesões mais comuns foram contusão (96,2%) e fratura (75,5%). As partes mais atingidas foram cabeça (69,8%), membros inferiores (66%) e face (54,7%). A principal causa mortis foi trauma na cabeça (43,4%). Comparando os dados, constatou-se subnotificação da mortalidade no trânsito em Roraima. A reflexão constante é fundamental para estabelecer parâmetros éticos para os profissionais envolvidos, e recomenda-se integrar órgãos da saúde com o Instituto Médico Legal para criar banco de dados que subsidie políticas adaptadas à realidade local.

“…The monitoring of the prevalence of CNCDs risk factors, especially those of a behavioural nature, i.e., diet, sedentary lifestyle, or chemical dependence on tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, whose scientific evidences of association with chronic diseases are proven, is one of the most important actions of surveillance [9]. The Brazilian Ministry of Health periodically invests in two important national health surveys for this purpose: National Health Survey (NHS) [10] and Surveillance of Risk Factors and Protection for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Inquiry (Vigitel) [1]. Numerous health programs and actions in Brazil converge towards the same CNCDs control objective.…”

This study intends to analyse the behaviour of epidemiological variables of workers in an oil industry of Bahia, Brazil, before and after implementation of interdisciplinary practices in occupational health assessments between 2006 and 2015. This is a retrospective longitudinal study carried out in two time periods. Data were collected from the workers electronic medical record and time trends were analysed before (2006–2010) and after (2011–2015) the implementation of the interdisciplinary practices focusing on health promotion. The data were complementarily compared to a control group from the same industry.A statistically significant reduction for data on the number of smokers, periodontal disease and of days away from work was obtained. A significant increase in the number of physically active subjects wasalso observed. Whilenot statistically significant, a reduction in the number of workers with obesity and overweight, with caries and altered glycemia, was identified. Coronary risk and high blood pressure indicators have shown aggravation. It can be concluded that an interdisciplinary health approach during the annual occupational assessments, with action directed to the population needs, can be associated with the improvement of the health indicators assessed, contributing to increased worker productivity in the oil industry.
