Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of metabolic syndrome and related diseases in the Khisêdjê population living in the XinguIndigenous Park, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, from 1999-2000

Anthropometric and metabolic profile of a Brazilian Amerindian group: The Xikrin (Mebengôkre)

“…The prevalence of dyslipidemia (21.5%) is lower than that estimated for Brazilian urban adults (61.5%; Schmidt et al, 2015), similar to that found in most Brazilian Amerindian groups, but it is lower than that found in the Xavante, Aruák (Gimeno et al, 2007), Kaingang-Guarani, Parkatejê (Tavares et al, 2003), and Suyá-Khisêdjê (Mazzucchetti et al, 2014) indigenous groups, in which the prevalence is higher than 30.0%.…”

Prevalence of Self-Reported Chronic Diseases and Health Services Utilization by Ethnic Minorities in Manaus Metropolitan Region

“…Population-based surveys of different Indigenous groups across Brazil consistently show high prevalence of overweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] A national survey of more than 6,000 Indigenous children (aged <5 years) in 2009 observed that more than a quarter of the children presented stunting. Most of the children were from the northern area of Brazil; this rate of stunting was similar to non-Indigenous Brazilian in the 1980s.…”
