“…A influência das desigualdades sociais sobre a situação de saúde de populações vem sendo discutida em diversos estudos de forma ampla 7,8 ou sob análises de eventos específicos 9,10,11,12 . Alguns autores abordam a relação entre variáveis relacionadas às condições de vida da população e a ocorrência da dengue; entretanto os resultados encontrados são divergentes 13,14,15,16,17 .…”

A reemergência da dengue, sua disseminação e manutenção vêm desafiando o sistema de saúde brasileiro. Fatores relacionados às condições de vida da população têm sido abordados na compreensão de diferentes desfechos em saúde. Este trabalho analisa a ocorrência da dengue e sua relação com as condições de vida no Município de Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, de 1996 a 2004. Os dados sobre ocorrência de dengue foram obtidos no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Para caracterização das condições de vida, foi construído um indicador composto com variáveis sócio-econômicas e de infra-estrutura urbana coletadas no Censo Demográfico de 2000. Operações entre camadas foram utilizadas para identificar associações espaciais entre o indicador composto e a incidência de dengue por bairros. Apesar de não se evidenciar uma relação linear entre condições de vida ruins e ocorrência da doença, os padrões espaciais observados indicaram maior suscetibilidade de áreas com desigualdades nas condições de vida e localizadas próximas às vias de acesso. Os achados sugerem ainda que, além de outros fatores relacionados à ocorrência da doença, as desigualdades observadas podem interferir na tendência temporal da dengue. Assim, modelos que considerem a interação entre variáveis sócio-econômicas e não apenas a quantificação de indicadores sociais isolados podem ser úteis para a vigilância da dengue.

“…The disease affected more intensely small towns and some capitals of the North and Northeast regions, especially populations without access to basic sanitation. Studies published by RSP suggest that the impact of cholera mortality on these regions would have been underestimated because of faults in information systems 78 , 79 , 133 .…”

Path of infectious diseases in Brazil in the last 50 years: an ongoing challenge

In this article, we comment on the main features of infectious diseases in Brazil in the last 50 years, highlighting how much of this path Revista de Saúde Pública could portray. From 1967 to 2016, 1,335 articles focusing on infectious diseases were published in Revista de Saúde Pública. Although the proportion of articles on the topic have decreased from about 50.0% to 15.0%, its notability remained and reflected the growing complexity of the research required for its control. It is noteworthy that studies design and analysis strategies progressively became more sophisticated, following the great development of epidemiology in Brazil in the recent decades. Thus, the journal has followed the success of public health interventions that permitted to control or eliminate numerous infectious diseases – which were responsible, in the past, for high rates of morbidity and mortality –, and also followed the reemergence of diseases already controlled and the emergence of until then unknown diseases, with a strong impact on the Brazilian population, establishing a little predictable and very challenging path.

“…In spite of the fact that a focus on human health most of the time favors older ages [34], it is in early infancy that basic health care is most needed [35]. According to Gerolomo and Penna [36], besides its direct influence on quality of life, basic sanitation reduces public spending on health, which in turn impacts the collective and individual economic dimensions. In order to figure out its effects, R$ 179.6 million was spent by the Brazilian Unified Health System (BUHS) to account for the hospitalization of children under five years of age for infectious and parasitic diseases.…”

Regression Model to Evaluate the Impact of Basic Sanitation Services in Households and Schools on Child Mortality in the Municipalities of the State of Alagoas, Brazil

The aim of this article is to measure the impact of basic sanitation services on the mortality rate of children under five years of age (U5MR) in the municipalities of the State of Alagoas, Brazil. A multivariate multiple linear regression model was applied for all 102 cities of Alagoas for data years 1991, 2000 and 2010. The research findings are evidence that access to basic sanitation services in the municipalities of the State of Alagoas, especially household sanitary sewage, is associated with a statistically significant reduction of U5MR, p < 0.01 . The estimates show that the 10% increase in access to household sanitary sewage is associated to a reduction of 5.7 deaths per 1000 born alive (BA). Based on a simulation of universal basic access sanitation services in the municipalities of the State of Alagoas, it is observed that only this public policy would be able to reduce child mortality by more than 94%. The end results of this study are important subsidies to guide basic sanitation policies not only in the State of Alagoas, Brazil, but also in developing regions all over the world, considering the evidences of social and environmental impact.
