“…Modeling was based on backward elimination of terms from a saturated model containing all candidate variables. Confounding assessment was based on findings from previous studies 5,14 or when deletion of candidates from the saturated model led to changes greater than or equal to 20% in the main association. Effect modifiers were examined using maxi-mum likelihood ratio tests by considering an alpha of 0.05.…”

“…According to a report by the National STD/AIDS Division, from 1991 to 1995, 90% of AIDS cases occur among males, mostly between 13 and 49 years of age, and AIDS was the second largest cause of mortality among individuals 20 to 49 years of age 1,4 . Recent studies have shown that together with the overall trend in AIDS incidence, there has been a proportional increase among the poor and peripheral urban areas 5 . The search for more vulnerable groups is an ongoing effort by health authorities to keep the disease under control.…”

Military rank and AIDS proportionate mortality in the Brazilian Navy

This study describes AIDS mortality and occupational factors among servicemen in the Brazilian Navy. This is a proportional mortality study of 2,586 servicemen's death certificates (20-72 years of age) recorded from 1991 to 1995. Death certificates and occupational histories came from the Brazilian Navy Insurance System archives. Association was measured using proportionate mortality odds ratios obtained with unconditional logistic regression. AIDS proportionate mortality was estimated at 4.8% (n = 125) and increased during the study period, particularly among servicemen under 50 years of age and those with low rank. As compared to other occupations, there was relative excess AIDS in the "management" (proportionate mortality odds ratio, PMORage-adjusted = 2.45; 95%CI: 1.27-4.71), "secretarial" (PMORage-adjusted = 2.49; 95%CI: 1.22-5.08), and "janitorial" (PMORage-adjusted = 2.61; 95%CI: 1.10-6.16) occupational groups. AIDS proportionate mortality was higher among male than female military members. Higher rates were observed in some occupational groups when the members were low ranking. Power distribution, gender issues, and low socioeconomic status require further investigation using more appropriate methods.

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.
