“…This observation might have been expected because body attractiveness is especially valued among younger Brazilians that have not yet achieved financial independence, i.e., most of the college students sampled in this study (Iriart and Andrade, 2002 ). The practice of physical activity with the intention of increasing their attractiveness has already been observed among lower class adolescents in Brazil (Tavares et al, 2012 ). Finally, one stereotype was also identified among the American participants, that males with low levels of social skills were rated higher for good financial condition.…”

This study aims to investigate assortative mating based on mate value from male perspective. Male participants (132 Brazilian and 106 American) evaluated hypothetical “stimulus” males described in terms of physical attractiveness, social skills, and social status (each varied in high or low levels). Participants rated each stimulus and each stimulus' preferred mating partner on nine traits. The results showed that (1) positive assortative mating was expected in romantic relationships; (2) the stimulus ratings did not vary independently, suggesting that mate value is the result of the interaction of the characteristics of individuals; and (3) that participants expected physically attractive and healthier female partners to pair with high-status male stimuli. The American and Brazilian mating expectations were similar, minor differences indicate that Brazilian participants considered men with high levels of social skills to be more ambitious and intelligent; American participants expected men of high status to be healthier; Brazilians expect men of high status to have more attractive faces, while Americans expected these men to possess more attractive bodies; and Brazilian participants assigned more attractive bodies to men of lower status. These differences reflect the influence of economic and cultural factors on the local environment. The study contributes to the understanding of the construction of market value and reveals that male expectations are in line with human mating preferences. The investigation of mating expectations can be a rich approach to investigate socio-cultural aspects that are related to mating in different cultures

“…Estudos concluem que desde adolescentes, os indivíduos de baixa renda não são tão preocupados com o corpo ideal, podendo ser este um agravante para a presença de doenças cardiovasculares futuras. 9 Deve-se destacar também problemas no acesso aos leitos, onde a oferta é menor para pacientes do SUS quando comparados aos demais planos de saúde, comprometendo a equidade e, por consequência, sendo um fator preponderante na longevidade do grupo convênios/particulares. 10 Esse número significativo de cateterismos no SUS em relação ao grupo convênios/particulares é diretamente proporcional ao número maior de cirurgias de revascularização do miocárdio realizadas por pacientes do Sistema Único de Saúde.…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and prevalence of medications used by elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases, addressing the difference between users of the single health care system (SUS) and private/covenant during hospitalization. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in a large hospital in Porto Alegre, by reviewing medical records of patients hospitalized at the coronary care units in the period from January to December 2015. The sample consisted of the evaluation of 152 medical records, the collection was performed through a specific semi-structured instrument. RESULTS: A total of 68 elderly patients belonged to the SUS user group. The other 84 medical records were users of several Covenants / Individuals groups. Regarding lifestyle, it was shown that smoking was representative. The presence of a significant association Regarding the clinical profile, all patients in both groups were hospitalized in coronary care units. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the patients in the private / covenants group use a greater number of drugs outside the National Essential Medicines report than those in the SUS group. The SUS group stands out for being more hypertensive and smokers and as a result, they perform more hospitalizations with more severe pathologies when compared to the other group. These comparative data highlight the importance of actions that aim to balance the differences between the modalities of health plans served in Brazil.

“…It is highlighted that contacts between the health professionals and the patient must be made in order to clarify all the patients' doubts, praising the existence of pros and cons, once many patients tend not to consider the possibilities of complications (3,4,11,16) . In the cases there is psychological affliction, where excessive valuing of corporal image is evident, the results of the surgical procedure may not please, once the necessary treatment for these cases is primarily emotional (6,10) .…”
