“…Estudos mostram que a baixa escolaridade pode contribuir para comportamento de saúde menos saudáveis, demora na busca por ajuda profissional e dificuldade no cumprimento de orientações dadas por profissionais de saúde, incluindo mudança de estilo de vida e adesão à terapia medicamentosa, impactando negativamente na saúde. De fato, a escolaridade pode melhorar a compreensão de informações, contribuir para escolhas racionais voltadas para a saúde e autocuidado (KRETSCHMER; LOCH, 2022;MAHMOODI et al, 2019). Assim, a baixa escolaridade, falta de acesso à informação e à serviços de saúde, e fazer parte de um grupo considerado como vulnerável, contribui também para a ocorrência de DCNT em quilombolas.…”

As comunidades quilombolas são marcadas pelas iniquidades sociais e dificuldades no acesso aos serviços de saúde, que impactam diretamente no processo saúde-doença. Desta forma, objetivou-se descrever as características epidemiológicas relativas aos aspectos sociodemográficos, adoecimento, hábitos de vida, medidas antropométricas e pressão arterial entre residentes das comunidades quilombolas do Sapê do Norte, Espírito Santo. Foi realizada a coleta de dados obtendo-se informações socioeconômicos e de situação de saúde; avaliação física da pressão arterial, circunferência da cintura, peso e altura. Foram entrevistados 90 residentes das comunidades Quilombolas, sendo que a maioria eram mulheres, autodeclarados negros, idade superior a cinquenta anos e com baixa escolaridade. Os resultados relacionados às medidas antropométricas revelaram que a maior parte dos quilombolas avaliados apresentaram sobrepeso ou obesidade, circunferência da cintura aumentada, elevada prevalência de etilismo. Mais da metade afirmaram ser hipertensos e 70% dos participantes apresentaram níveis de pressão arterial alterado (≥130/≥81 mmHg). Esses dados demonstram a vulnerabilidade e necessidade de intervenção nessas comunidades, para a prevenção de agravos em saúde.

“…Up to date, SRH has become a reliable measurement of overall health status, and as a significant independent predictor of morbidity, development of disability and mortality [27][28][29]. Despite seemingly non-specific nature of SRH, it has shown to be a useful predictor of healthcare services utilization [30,31], survival rate [32] functional health among older people [33], and healthy lifestyle behaviours, such as physical activity [34][35][36] or healthy eating [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]37,38].…”

“…In the last decade, more Brazilian researchers have explored the association of SRH with healthy eating behaviours. Overall the evidence suggests that regular (>5 days/week) of raw consumption of fruit, beans, and vegetables represents a positive health status perception and is influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and sociodemographic factors [37,[39][40][41][42].…”

Introduction:Although Brazil is an important producer of fruits and vegetables worldwide, the consumption of vegetables in the country is insufficient, with a scarce variety of products, and it is worse among individuals with higher consumption of ultra-processed foods. Consuming fruits and vegetables is a critical factor in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, decreasing the risk of developing diet-related chronic diseases, and positively affecting psychological well-being, mental health and overall health. The self-rated health (SRH) is a reliable indicator of overall health status. It is a useful independent predictor of healthy lifestyle behaviours, such as physical activity or healthy eating. This study analyses the association between fruit and vegetable consumption behaviours and self-rated health status in Brazilian adult populations.Methods: Data came from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey data. SRH status was evaluated with the classical question: "In general, how would you rate your health status"? and responses were categorized into three ordinal categories from the worst to the best level. Vegetable and fruit consumption, were measured by the question: "How many days a week do you usually eat fruits and at least one type of vegetable. Then, three ordinal categories were built for each variable, from an optimal to a short consumption. The association between SRH status and fruit and vegetables consumption was examined using ordinal regression analysis, adjusted by relevant confounders and stratified by sex.Results: A total of 63,444 adult participants were analysed. The mean age was 48.5 years (SD: 16.67), and 58% were women. Fortyfour per cent and 37% say to have an optimal consumption (6-7 days/week) of vegetables and fruits, respectively. Conversely, 26% and 32% of the surveyed mentioned poor consumption (0-2 days/week) of vegetables and fruits, respectively. Additionally, 61%, 32% and 7% of the respondents reported a "good/very good", "fair", and "bad/very bad" SRH status, respectively. According to the model, men with optimal vegetable intake have a 64% probability of belonging to the SRH "good/very good" status, compared to 61% of women. Conversely, men with short vegetable intake have a 39% probability of belonging to "fair" or "bad/very bad" SRH status, compared to 43% of women. Differences were statistically significant. Similar to vegetable consumption, increased fruit consumption is associated with higher probabilities of a better SRH status in both sexes. Conclusions:The study indicates that optimal and moderate fruit and vegetable consumption are significantly and positive associated with SRH status. This relationship is complex because both are directly affected by some relevant socio-demographic factors, and discriminating against this effect is difficult, becoming a methodological challenge. Furthermore, the SRH status differences associated to fruit and vegetable consumption across main socio-demographic factors represent well socioeconomic inequalities in health in Brazilian popu...

In a longevity society, as we live longer, adopting healthy lifestyles is essential to develop and maintain functional ability, which enables well-being in older adults. We aim to examine the associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SBs) with self-rated health (SRH) status in older Brazilian adults. We analyzed 21,701 persons aged 60 or older from the Brazilian National Health Survey. A partial proportional odds model for SRH adjusted by sociodemographic confounders was estimated. The marginal effects of PA and SB on SRH status were expressed in terms of the average-adjusted probabilities. In addition, average-adjusted probabilities for the better and worse SRH status among representative cases of Brazilian socioeconomic inequalities were calculated. The main findings of the study indicate: (a) a significant positive association exists between PA and SRH status and, conversely, a negative association exists between SB and SRH; (b) the PA effect across daily sitting time watching TV attenuated and improved the probability of declaring a worse and better SRH status, respectively; and (c) the SRH status differences associated with PA and SB represent the socioeconomic inequalities in the older Brazilian population. Beyond some methodological limitations, we conclude that increasing PA and SB in older persons is significantly associated with better and worse SRH status, respectively. In addition, the results suggest that SRH status is a consistent health inequality measurement. In societies moving on longevity transition, substantial efforts are required in individuals’ behavior across the life courses and public policies to promote healthy aging.
