“…Higher income inequality was consistently associated with higher presence of CVD for the elderly. On a previous study of cardiovascular mortality in São Paulo, Farias 25 found that residents living in regions with lower socioeconomic status had higher odds of CVD mortality. Similarly, the evidence found in this study indicates increased odds of having a CVD among those who live in very unequal areas, even after controlling for the average income of the residence area.…”

ObjectiveWe aimed to analyse the individual and contextual determinants associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) morbidity among the elderly.MethodsThe sample consisted of 1333 individuals aged 60 or older residing in the city of São Paulo, from the Health, Welfare and Aging (SABE) study survey performed in 2010. The association between CVD with both income inequality and green spaces was analysed using Bayesian multilevel models, controlling for individual and contextual factors.ResultsWe found a significant association between income inequality and green spaces, and risk of CVD. In comparison to elderly residents in areas with low-income inequality, there was an increased risk for CVD among those residing in the medium–low (OR=1.35, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.59), medium–high (OR=2.71, 95% CI 2.18 to 3.36) and high (OR=1.43, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.79) quartiles of income inequality. Those living in medium–low (OR=0.44, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.49), medium–high (OR=0.56, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.65) and high (OR=0.48, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.55) green spaces levels had lower risk of CVD.ConclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of area-level characteristics on CVD risk and the need to develop healthcare policies focused on the effect of individual and contextual characteristics.

“…Although there has been a decrease in mortality related to these diseases in the course of the years, cardiovascular diseases were the most common cause of death in Brazil in 2011 (Villela et al, 2014;Farias, 2014). According to the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC), cardiovascular diseases in Brazil account for 29% of deaths.…”

Fungi have the ability to produce essential fatty acids of the omega-3 family, what is of great scientific interest, since these microorganisms are capable of developing under varied conditions, making their production a viable alternative. Fatty acids are of great importance in human food due to their beneficial effects to the organism, such as reduction in the development of cardiovascular problems and other chronic-degenerative diseases. Currently, the main food source of omega-3 fatty acids is saltwater fish, but there are concerns about potential health risks, including environmental contaminants, such as some metals, as well as ecological issues related to the extinction of some species. Therefore, interest in the biotechnology area has been increasing with the aim of extracting bioactive compounds from certain fungi species, besides using these species to produce biomass, food, and energy, among others.Additional keywords: biomass; biotechnology; industrial application; polyunsaturated fatty acids. ResumoA capacidade de produção de ácidos graxos essenciais da família ômega 3 por fungos é de grande interesse científico, uma vez que estes microrganismos são capazes de se desenvolver em condições variadas, apresentando-se como alternativa viável para a produção dos mesmos. Os referidos ácidos graxos são de grande importância na alimentação humana, devido seus efeitos benéficos ao organismo, como, por exemplo, a redução no desenvolvimento de problemas cardiovasculares e de outras doenças crônico-degenerativas. Atualmente, a principal fonte alimentar de ácidos graxos ômega 3 é a ingestão de pescados marinhos, mas existem algumas preocupações sobre os riscos potenciais para a saúde, incluindo contaminantes ambientais, tais como alguns metais, além de questões ecológicas relacionadas com a extinção de algumas espécies. Portanto, o interesse pela área da biotecnologia vem crescendo com o objetivo de extrair compostos bioativos de certas espécies de fungos, além de sua utilização para produção de biomassas, alimentos, energia, dentre outros de importância econômica.Palavras-chave adicionais: ácidos graxos poli-insaturados; aplicação industrial; biomassa; biotecnologia.

“…A study that was conducted in Porto Alegre (RS state) found that CVD-related mortality in the 45 to 64-year old population was especially observed among women ( 18 ) . CVDs were found to affect a higher and rising share of women in São Paulo in another study which evaluated two three-year periods, from 1996 to 1998 (50.9%) and from 2008 to 2010 (53.1%) ( 19 ) .…”

Objectives: to identify the main causes for hospital admissions and deaths related to systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM), and to analyze morbidity and mortality trends, in a municipality in São Paulo's countryside, by comparing two three-years periods, 2002 to 2004 and 2010 to 2012. Methods: cross-sectional study which used secondary data regarding deaths from the Information System on Mortality and concerning hospital admissions from the DataSus Hospital Information System. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were conducted. Results: from 2002 to 2012, 325,439 people were admitted to hospitals, 14.7% of them due to circulatory system diseases (CSD) and 0.7% due to DM. The deaths distributed as the following: 29,027 deaths (31.5%) were due to CSD; 8.06% due to cerebrovascular diseases (CVD); and 2.75% due to DM. There was a significant association between admittance and death causes and patients' gender and age in the three-year periods (p<0.001). The highest lethality in hospital admissions was found to be due to CVD (10%). That trend showed that mortality rates dropped, younger patients were admitted due to DM, and older patients were admitted due to CVD - they were more often females. Conclusion: the main causes for hospital admissions were the CSDs; main mortality causes were the CVDs in hypertensive and diabetic women. Those findings can back public policies which prioritize the promotion of health.
