“…We observed a predominance towards health reported as very good/good (58.2%), which was similar to a study in Brazil (60%) [15] but lower than that observed by Laaksonen et al [4] in Finland, and by Bennet et al [19] and Jerant et al [38] in the United States (>70%). In another study performed in Brazil using the same methodology (World Health Survey), the observed percentage of self-reported health as very good/good was 53.3% [16], lower than our figures.…”

“…The results from the present study are consistent with the observed association in other publications about self-reported health and socioeconomic status variables. This relationship has been reported using different indicators [4], such as the highest level of education (schooling) [12,15,18,19,21], poverty level [21], type of occupation [17,22], household size [22], or even renting the residence where people live [15]. In the present study, it was consistently observed in all the three indicator variables that remained in the final model (occupation, education [measured by schooling], and socioeconomic status) that individuals with better socio-economic status reported better health status than those with worse socio-economic status.…”

“…Various authors around the world have found that health conditions are strong predictors of poor overall health at the individual level [21]. Likewise, people with chronic health conditions such as hypertension and diabetes [12,15] or various disabilities [18] reported worse health levels. In the U.S., Ayyagari et al [6] observed that conditions such as angina, arthritis, congestive heart failure, diabetes and renal disease were associated with worse reported health levels.…”

“…Several variables have been associated with self-reported poor health. Studies around the world have found changes associated with variables such as age [6,15–18], sex [6,18–21], physical activity [15,22], various indicators of socioeconomic position [4,12,15,17–19,21,22] chronic diseases, body-mass index (BMI) and other health conditions [6,12,15,18,21,23], physical activity [12,15,18,22,24], having a healthy diet [18], religiosity [18], sleep quality [18], and consumption of alcohol and tobacco [15,25,26], among others.…”

Edentulism and other variables associated with self-reported health status in Mexican adults

et al. 2014

BackgroundTo determine if edentulism, controlling for other known factors, is associated with subjective self-report health status (SRH) in Mexican adults.Material/MethodsWe examined the SRH of 13 966 individuals 35 years and older, using data from the National Survey of Performance Assessment, a cross-sectional study that is part of the technical collaboration between the Ministry of Health of Mexico and the World Health Organization, which used the survey instrument and sampling strategies developed by WHO for the World Health Survey. Sociodemographic, socioeconomic, medical, and behavioral variables were collected using questionnaires. Self-reported health was our dependent variable. Data on edentulism were available from 20 of the 32 Mexican states. A polynomial logistic regression model adjusted for complex sampling was generated.ResultsIn the SRH, 58.2% reported their health status as very good/good, 33.8% said they had a moderate health status, and 8.0% reported that their health was bad/very bad. The association between edentulism and SRH was modified by age and was significant only for bad/very bad SRH. Higher odds of reporting moderate health or poor/very poor health were found in women, people with lower socio-economic status and with physical disabilities, those who were not physically active, or those who were underweight or obese, those who had any chronic disease, and those who used alcohol.ConclusionsThe association of edentulism with a self-report of a poor health status (poor/very poor) was higher in young people than in adults. The results suggest socioeconomic inequalities in SRH. Inequality was further confirmed among people who had a general health condition or a disability.

Aims To analyze the association between urinary incontinence and disability status in premenopausal women. Materials and Methods The study included 120 premenopausal women recruited from six Basic Family Health Units to participate in this study. We assessed sociodemographic, gynecological, and obstetric data by using specific questions. The International Continence Society's definitions were applied to determine the presence and type of urinary incontinence, and the disability was assessed by using the 36‐item version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0. Results The WHODAS scores showed that women with urinary incontinence had a worse disability in cognition (P = .023) and mobility (P = .020) domains, in addition to the total score (P = .23). Women with mixed urinary incontinence had a worse disability in mobility domain (P = .039) than those with stress or urgency incontinence. Qualitative analyses of disability showed a significant difference between women with and without urinary incontinence (P = .033), with higher percentages of incontinent women with moderate and severe disability. Women who reported urinary incontinence had 7.69 more points on the final score of WHODAS than those who did not report this outcome. Conclusions Urinary incontinence in women of reproductive age is associated with disability and worse scores of WHODAS when we compare them to women without urine leakage. The results presented can be useful for designing and adapting strategies for comprehensive care of women with urinary incontinence and disability, and developing rehabilitation programs based on functioning.

Objective This study’s main objective was to investigate the emergence of back pain as a consequence to changes in usual activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic among teachers in public schools in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 15,276 schoolteachers using an online questionnaire. The variables included sociodemographic and occupational data, health situation, habits and behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bivariate analyses using Pearson’s chi-square test and multiple analyses using Poisson regression were performed to identify the associated factors. Results About 58% of schoolteachers reported back pain due to changes in routine activities during the pandemic. The adjusted model showed a correlation between back pain and female sex, longer working hours, overwork, difficulties concerning distance working, negative changes in health status and quality of sleep; frequent feeling of sadness, depression, or anxiety; use of medications to relax, sleep or against stress/anxiety/depression; physical inactivity or negative changes in the practice of physical activities; increased body weight; reduction of leisure time; increased time of use of computer or tablet and overload of housework. Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic, schoolteachers reported a high prevalence of emergence of back pain, which delineates a contradiction in terms: on the one hand, distance education allows social distancing that contributes to the preservation of teachers’ health by reducing the risk of contamination by COVID-19. On the other hand, it imposes new demands that—in disagreement with working conditions—can threaten the health of these workers.
