“…In Brazil, it is known that race and education are directly associated with income. There is a positive correlation between whites or those with higher education and higher incomes [ 55 ]. Consequently, this contributes to access inequalities for both cell phone use and vehicle use which may explain the greater probability of this behavior for this population.…”

Background Brazil occupies the fifth position in the ranking of the highest mortality rates due to RTI in the world. With the objective of promoting traffic safety and consequently reducing deaths, Brazil created the Life in Traffic Project (LTP). The main goal of LTP is reducing 50% of RTI deaths, by promoting interventions to tackle risk factors, such as driving under the influence of alcohol and excessive and/or inappropriate speed. Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate the magnitude of risky and protective factors for RTI in capitals participating in the LTP in Brazil. We estimated these factors according to sociodemographic (age group, sex, education, race and, type of road user). Methods A total of 5,922 car drivers and motorcyclists from 14 Brazilian capitals participating in the LTP were interviewed. Data collection was carried out in sobriety checkpoints at night and consisted of the administration of an interview and a breathalyzer test. Risky and protective behaviors associated with RTI were investigated. Covariates of the study were: age, sex, education, race and, type of road user. Poisson multiple regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between variables of interest. Results The prevalence of individuals with positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 6.3% and who reported driving after drinking alcohol in the last 30 days was 9.1%. The others risky behaviors reported were: driving at excessive speed on roads of 50 km/h, using a cell phone for calls while driving, using a cell phone to send or read calls while driving, running a red light. Use of seatbelts and helmets showed prevalence above 96,0% Use of seatbelts showed prevalence of 98.6% among car drivers, and helmet use was described by 96.6% of motorcycle drivers. Most risky behaviors were more prevalent in younger age groups (except BAC measurement higher in older participants), in males (except for cell phone use), in participants with higher education level and without a driver’s license. Conclusion Excessive speed and driving under the influence of alcohol, defined as priorities within the LTP, need more consistent interventions, as they still have considerable prevalence in the cities investigated. The factors described such as cell phone usage and passing red traffic lights should also need to be prioritized as a focus on promoting traffic safety.

“…On the other hand, chlorthalidone, an important medication for the control of RH, is not included in the list of Essential Medicines of the Brazilian public Unified Health System. 21 In a society where lowincome individuals are mostly black and depend on the public Health System, 22,23 it is difficult to assess what is the real responsibility of the genetic background in the development of RH, given the socioeconomic issues involved.…”

Systemic hypertension (SH) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events, especially stroke, which justifies the relevance of its proper management. In a meta-analysis conducted by Sarki et al., 1 the results showed a prevalence of 32.3% of SH, and Latin America was as one of the regions with the highest estimates (39.1%). 1 According to data from the American Heart Association, specifically in the African-American population, the prevalence of SH reaches 44.9% for black men, and 46.1% for black women. 2 A higher prevalence of SH in blacks was also identified in Brazilian studies. 3-5 Despite this high prevalence, pressure control is achieved in most cases with the appropriate choice of antihypertensive drugs. 6 However, still 9-18% of individuals with SH have blood pressure levels resistant to pharmacological treatment, which characterizes resistant hypertension (RH). 6-8

“…Além disso, encontrou-se uma concordância entre a cor (ou raça) autodeclarada e a cor heteroatribuída, o que está coerente com pesquisas anteriores (citadas por Osório, 2003). Esses resultados são sustentados pelas teorias que afirmam que a identidade racial é sócio-culturalmente construída, que "eu me percebo como as outras pessoas me percebem" (Kilsztajn, Carmo, Sugahara, Lopes, & Petrohilos, 2005). Além disso, em pesquisas feitas no exterior (Smith, 1987, citado por Osório, 2003, ainda que relacionadas com classificações de raça bem diferentes, encontram-se resultados semelhantes.…”

ResumoO objetivo dessa pesquisa foi gerar, por meio de técnica de computação gráfica denominada morphing, faces prototípicas masculinas e femininas a partir de amostras de pessoas que se autodeclaram brancas, pardas e pretas na região de Ribeirão Preto (SP). A cada face prototípica foram utilizadas 64 imagens de faces de voluntários. As faces prototípicas e as faces que as compuseram tiveram a tipicidade de sua cor ou raça julgada por terceiros. Os julgamentos indicaram uma concordância entre a cor/raça-autodeclarada e a heteroatribuída o que indica que os protótipos são representativos de suas respectivas categorias de cor/raça. Discute-se como as faces prototípicas podem ser empregadas em pesquisas básicas e aplicadas em percepção e reconhecimento de faces. Palavras-chave: Face prototípica; Reconhecimento de faces; Atratividade; Peculiaridade; Tipicidade. AbstractThe goal of this study was to generate male and female prototypical faces, by morphing technique, from faces of people who were self-declared as white, "mixed race" and black in Ribeirão Preto-SP. Each prototypical face was generated from 64 face images of volunteers. Another sample of volunteers judged the typicality of color/race of the prototypical faces and the faces that composed them. The results suggested a concordance between the self-declared color/race and the judgments, indicating that the prototypical faces are representative of their respective categories of color/race. Applications of the prototypical faces in studies of face perception and face recognition were discussed.
