“…Do total de participantes, 13,9% relataram o uso de chás, ervas ou infusões com plantas. O uso de plantas medicinais é uma prática cultural frequente em assentamentos rurais, estudada por vários autores (BRITO; MARÍN; CRUZ, 2017; MELO; SANTOS; COELHO-FERREIRA, 2021;SANTOS et al, 2021). O mesmo percentual de participantes relatou o uso de ivermectina como prevenção da COVID-19.…”

Objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever a situação de saúde quanto à pandemia de COVID-19 e seu enfrentamento entre os residentes do Assentamento Mário Lago, pertencente ao Projeto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (PDS) Fazenda da Barra e localizado em Ribeirão Preto, estado de São Paulo. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, do tipo inquérito, com amostragem aleatória estratificada. Foram entrevistados 158 residentes, com idade entre 18 e 84 anos, entre 26 de outubro de 2021 e 28 de janeiro de 2022. Os resultados obtidos expõem uma situação de vulnerabilidade social da sua população, em que apenas 23,4% dos entrevistados chegaram ao ensino médio, e 95,6% possuem uma renda familiar de até três salários mínimos. Dentre os participantes do estudo, 17,1% tiveram resultado positivo para um teste de COVID-19, e 42,4% relataram que a pandemia diminuiu muito a renda das pessoas da casa, enquanto 3,8% ficaram sem renda. Para que as populações assentadas estejam mais bem preparadas para futuras crises como a provocada pela pandemia de COVID-19, é necessária a continuidade das ações já realizadas pelos movimentos sociais e populares do campo e assegurar a manutenção e o desenvolvimento das redes de suporte social.

“…Most studies analyze the influence of socioeconomic factors for a given category of use, such as the relationship with medicinal plants (Almeida et al 2012;Torres-Avilez et al 2016;Kutal et al 2021;Melo et al 2021), others about food plants (Cruz et al 2013;Bortolotto et al 2015;Campos et al 2015), and others for logging resources (Ramos et al 2008;Medeiros et al 2012;Paniagua-Zambrana et al 2014;Aparicio et al 2021). Gender and age proved to be significant predictors of medicinal plant knowledge and use (Voeks 2007;Camou-Guerrero et al 2008;Guimbo et al 2011;Almeida et al 2012;Torres-Avilez 2017;Faria & Albuquerque 2018).…”

The present study analyzes the relationship between people and plants in the caatinga region of Northeastern Brazil, considering the influence of socio-economic factors on different categories of plant use in the community. Thus, it aims to associate socio-economic factors and knowledge in the use dynamics of medicinal, food and timber plants in Brejo da Conceição community, Currais, Piaui, Brazil. The data set was obtained through semi-structured interviews, interviewing one-hundred-one persons: 46 women and 55 men. A generalized linear model analyzed socio-economic factors influencing the knowledge of plants, built using Poisson distribution and having as explanatory variable age, gender, number of residents in household and education; as a response variable, the number of plants cited per respondent. To better understand the distribution of plants in use categories, we verified which species are the most important locally and, for that, we calculated the plants' Cultural Importance Index and Relative Importance Index. The interviewees cited 126 plant species. Among these species, 74 were native, and 52 were naturalized. Overlapping the categories of use, the most prominent species in the categories medicinal and food, according to the indices of cultural importance (CI) and relative importance (RII), were the buriti palm tree (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.), orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) and cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.). For the overlap of medicinal and timber uses, catinga de porco stood out (Terminalia brasiliensis (Cambess.) Eichler) and birro de cangalha (Diplopterys sp.). The lemon balm herb stood out as its medical use (Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E.Br. ex Britton & P.Wilson). Just the number of residents and gender factors influenced the plants' knowledge of Brejo da Conceição in medicinal use, food and wood resources. Given the complexity of current discussions that guide related to these characteristics, the proposed results can serve as a reference for future research that incorporates more aspects of local ecological knowledge, including analyzing other essential variables that shape the distribution of knowledge in the distinct categories of use.

“…Beyond the difference in the number of known species, studies suggest that some plants are cited primarily or exclusively by men, while others are referred similarly by women (Melo et al 2021, Souza et al 2021). These differences might be attributed to the therapeutic targets indicated by each gender, as some diseases are more common in men or women, leading to the use of specific plants for their treatment (Tng et al 2021).…”

Background: Ethnobotanical studies commonly employ the gender variable to understand how knowledge about medicinal plants is structured. However, most focus specifically on the number of species known among men and women, with limited attention to issues such as collection location, species endemism, and the repertoire of medicinal plants. This study primarily seeks to understand if there are differences in various types of knowledge and in the composition of known and used medicinal species between genders. Methods:The study was conducted in the rural community of Morrão de Cima, Bahia, Brazil. We gathered information about the knowledge and use of medicinal species, including details on collection sites, through semi-structured interviews. To answer our questions, we used generalized linear models and a multivariate permutational analysis of variance.Results: We found no significant difference in the total number of known medicinal species between genders. However, women showed greater knowledge of species close to their homes and exotic species, while men demonstrated more knowledge of species in forested areas and native species. We also observed a significant difference between the species known and used by men and women.Conclusions: Our findings emphasize the need to use various knowledge metrics for a deeper understanding of the relationship between medicinal species knowledge and gender. Differences in the composition of medicinal plants between men and women highlight the heterogeneity of knowledge, underscoring the essential role of both genders in shaping local medical systems, resulting from the health/disease dynamics among genders.
