“…A meta‐analysis conducted from 2006 to 2016 in countries with more than 1000 cases reported in at least five years of this period provided evidence for an association between unfavourable socioeconomic conditions and leprosy detection rates . In Brazil, the factors related to higher detection rates include a high percentage of children, a high average number of residents per municipality, poor water supply and lack of bathrooms .…”

“…Diferentemente de outros estudos (RAMOS et al, 2017;AJALLA et al, 2016;NICCHIO et al, 2016;PIERI et al, 2014;SILVA-SOBRINHO, MATHIAS, 2008) houve a predominância da raça/cor amarela, este resultado também esteve evidenciado em outros estudos de que as raças amarela e negra eram mais suscetíveis que o branco; embora algumas raças apresentem mais vulnerabilidade para o adoecimento, não há evidências suficientes do ponto vista imunobiológico e etiopatogenia dessas diferenças (ROBERTSON, 2003). Observou-se também que a taxa de detecção de hanseníase em menores de 15 anos, o que merece destaque, pois pode indicar uma alta transmissão da doença (alta carga bacilífera, sem tratamento) e uma possível falha na atenção primária (WHO, 2016;CASTRO et al, 2016;PATIL et al, 2013;RIBEIRO-JUNIOR;VIEIRA;CALDEIRA, 2012). Segundo a "Estratégia Global para Hanseníase 2016-2020" um dos principais indicadores a serem atingidos é zero número de crianças com diagnóstico de hanseníase e deformidades visíveis (WHO, 2016).…”

“…Isso representa como ocorre a socialização dos espaços para moradia, tendo em vista que os grupos não estão distribuidos de igual forma no município estudado. Castro et al (2016) em seu estudo descrevem uma correlação direta entre raça/cor com a ocorrência da hanseníase. No estudo os autores reforçam a natureza associativa da doença e a desigualdade social, observando que a hanseníase não se origina apenas no processo de adoecimento, mas também consideram os fatores sociais que influenciam diretamente a saúde em determinados grupos populacionais.…”
