Fatores de risco relacionados à carga global de doença do Brasil e Unidades Federadas, 2015

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Objective: To analyze the global burden of disease related to disability adjusted life years (DALYs) attributed to selected risk factors in Brazil and its 27 Federated Units. Methods: Databases from the Global Burden of Disease study in Brazil and its Federated Units were used, estimating the summary exposure value (SEV) for selected environmental, behavioral, and metabolic risk factors (RFs), and their combinations. The DALYs were used as the main metric. The ranking of major RFs between 1990 and 2015 was compiled, comparing data by sex and states. Results: The analyzed RFs account for 38.8% of the loss of DALYs in the country. Dietary risks was the main cause of DALYs in 2015. In men, dietary risks contributed to 12.2% of DALYs and in women, to 11.1%. Other RFs were high systolic blood pressure, high body mass index, smoking, high fasting plasma glucose and, among men, alcohol and drug use. The main RFs were metabolic and behavioral. In most states, dietary risks was the main RF, followed by high blood pressure. Conclusion: Dietary risks leads the RF ranking for Brazil and its Federated Units. Men are more exposed to behavioral risk factors, and women are more exposed to metabolic ones.

O Farmacêutico Frente Aos Riscos Do Uso De Inibidores De Apetite: A Sibutramina

“…Dados do ano de 2015 apontaram que haviam, no mundo, 604 milhões de adultos e 112 milhões de crianças obesas. Ademais, a prevalência da obesidade dobrou entre 1980 e 2015 em mais de 70 países do mundo (24) .…”

Indicators of Adiposity Associated With Low Body Esteem in Adolescents

“…Mental disorders are considered a public health problem in Brazil and are responsible for a significant portion of the burden of diseases in the country. 17,18 In Brazil, despite the continuous increase in the prevalence of overweight/obesity among adolescents, 5 only a few studies have already examined the association between weight status and body esteem in this population. 19,20 This type of approach has the advantage of identifying target groups for intervention, in order to minimize stress situations related to overweight and body image.…”

Prevalence of arterial hypertension in Brazilian adults and its associated factors and activity limitations: a cross-sectional study

“…Hypertension is considered to be an intermediate risk factor, given its substantial impact on the burden of cardiovascular diseases. 2,3 WHO has estimated that, in 2008, around 12.8% of the deaths resulted from hypertension. 4 Moreover, it has been estimated that around 40% of the adult population worldwide aged 24 years or older has hypertension, and that this proportion is in even higher in low and middleincome countries in which living conditions are worse and the healthcare systems are fragile.…”
