Construcao do Estudo Longitudinal de Saude do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil)

Abstract: Baseline data collection of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study for Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) was complete by December 2010. A cohort of 15,105 subjects has been followed up on incident events at six study sites for three years. The ELSA-Brasil is remarkable for its large sample size and wide variety of data collected to investigate biological and social determinants of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus in adults in Brazil.

“…The baseline data was collected from 2008 to 2010 in public universities and research institutions in six Brazilian capitals: the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG), Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES), Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), Universidade de São Paulo (USP) and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). The purpose of the ELSA-Brasil study was to investigate the risk factors and incidence of chronic diseases, especially diabetes and cardiovascular diseases 15 . The data collection was performed via face-to-face interviews, anthropometric measures, arterial pressure and laboratorial tests in the six research centres 16 .…”

“…Samples were collected after a 12-hour fast, stored in a freezer at −80 °C and sent to the certified central laboratory in São Paulo. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was administered to all participants without a known diabetes diagnosis [15]. Glycaemia was measured using the enzymatic colorimetric method (ADVIA 1200 Siemens Deerfield, IL, USA), and glycated haemoglobin A1c was measured using high-pressure chromatography (HPLC -Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).…”

“…Sobre fomento científico, esta revisão deixa patente a baixa disponibilidade de estudos específicos na literatura brasileira, um agudo contraste com a alta relevância e demanda de uma política prioritária que se aproxima de duas décadas de vultosos investimentos. Estudos futuros podem se beneficiar dos condicionantes e indicadores das redes exitosas no país, das quais podem ser citados os estudos 'ELSA Brasil' 46,47 ; 'ELSI Brasil' 48 ; e 'ÉRICA' 49 . Mesmo configurada como 'rede de serviços', o peso científico e tecnológico de que dispõe a Rebrats a torna caso compulsório.…”
