“…Some methodological limitations should be taken into account when considering the results of this study. First, the study featured a cross-sectional design, which is restricted to determining associations and does not allow the identification of causal relationships; this increases the risk of reverse causality [ 48 ]. Moreover, the presence among participants of acute pathologies at the time of data collection and their possible influence on QOL levels were not checked.…”

Background: This study aimed to assess the quality of life associated with gender inequalities in formal workers and to determine the effect of sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral factors on the quality of life (QOL). Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 1270 workers. Quality of life was measured using the EUROHIS-QOL 8-Item and assessed in terms of psychological, environmental, social, and physical domains, while demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and clinical variables served as explanatory variables. Analyses were performed using an ordinal logistic regression model whose significance level was 5%. Results: Of the participants, 80.2% were men, and 19.8% were women; the mean age was 34 (standard deviation: ±10) and 32 (±9) years, respectively. In all prediction scenarios, men were more likely to have a higher quality of life, especially in the physical (odds ratio: 2.16; 95% confidence interval: 1.60–2.93) and psychological (odds ratio: 2.09; 95% confidence interval: 1.51–2.91) domains. Conclusions: Men and women had significantly different levels of quality of life, and sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral variables partially clarified these differences, which were possibly established by a socio-historical process of construction of the work role determined by gender issues.

“…For example, the plant-disease pairs included in the categories chronic and transmissible infectious diseases were considered to have greater adaptive value due to their high severity and the risk of death that they pose to humans. According to the WHO, communicable chronic and infectious diseases are the annual leading causes of death worldwide and account for 36 and 14.2 million deaths, respectively [ 30 ].…”

Adaptive memory and evolution of the human naturalistic mind: Insights from the use of medicinal plants

et al. 2019

Throughout evolutionary history, humans have been exposed to a wide variety of diseases, some of which have serious and even lethal consequences. Memorizing medicinal plants for the treatment of serious diseases likely maximized the chances of survival and reproduction and was instrumental in the evolutionary success of our species. In the present study, we used the idea of adaptive memory to understand whether human memory evolved to recall information about medicinal plants for the treatment of serious diseases. We considered plant-disease pairs of words as units of information available in a medical system based on the use of medicinal plants. The pairs included in the categories of chronic infectious diseases and transmissible infectious diseases were considered to be of higher adaptive value, whereas those included in the category of common conditions were considered to be of lower adaptive value. Pairs grouped into the category of emerging and reemerging diseases were employed to investigate conformity bias; pairs belonging to the category esthetic uses were considered to be of little adaptive relevance and utilized as an experimental control. Our results revealed that plant-disease pairs associated with the category of common conditions, considered by us to be of lower severity and less adaptive relevance for humans, were better remembered and retained in the participants' memory. We believe that prior experience with common conditions and the frequency of these conditions in the population may have intensified the ability to remember the plant-disease pairs associated with this group of diseases.

“…Sendo assim, os estudos utilizados nesta revisão apresentam o predomínio de pesquisas experimentais, uma vez que estes têm, como principal vantagem, em relação a um estudo observacional, capacidade de demonstrar causalidade (Bonita, Beaglehole & Kjellström, 2010). Neste estudo, pôde-se investigar a relação entre causa, dieta ou soluções hipersódicas ao efeito, inflamação.…”

“…Outra vantagem dos estudos experimentais está na menor interferência de variáveis, visto que o "ambiente" é controlado ao passo que nos estudos observacionais estão à mercê de uma duração prolongada, a qual sofre interferências externas (Bonita et al, 2010), o que podem modificar o perfil alimentar ou de seleção utilizado do grupo estudado, na medida em quem os estudos observacionais analisados neste trabalho estão na temporalidade de anos e os estudos experimentais apenas em semanas.…”

Esclerose múltipla e sua relação com o consumo excessivo do cloreto de sódio: uma revisão sistemática

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A Esclerose Múltipla é uma doença autoimune desmielinizante que afeta preferencialmente o sistema nervoso central, pois este sofre influência de fatores genéticos e ambientais. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo evidenciar a relação do consumo de cloreto de sódio e o provável desencadeamento e/ou agravamento da Esclerose Múltipla (EM), uma doença autoimune. Foram analisados artigos selecionados de acordo com a revisão sistemática de literatura, com intuito de averiguar a possível relação entre o agravamento da fisiopatologia da esclerose múltipla e o consumo de cloreto de sódio. A revisão sistemática de literatura seguiu as seguintes bases de dados: BVS, Science Direct, PUBMED e Web of Science. A partir dos artigos encontrados, realizou-se uma seleção prévia, em que foram selecionados 13 artigos, com base em palavras-chave relacionadas ao cloreto de sódio e a esclerose múltipla, utilizando de estudos in vitro e in vivo. Apresentou-se a relação entre a fisiopatologia da EM e o consumo exacerbado de sal negativa em um total de cinco estudos e positiva nos demais. Desse modo, apesar dos resultados favoráveis, indicando a relação entre o consumo de sódio e a Esclerose Múltipla, ainda se sugerem novas pesquisas, devido à diversidade de metodologia e às populações usadas em cada estudo.
