“…The prevalence of obesity in the present study was higher than the national prevalence reported in 2017. (14) Our results are similar to those reported in a study conducted in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, (35) where the prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher than the national prevalence. Methodological differences can explain the discrepancy.…”

“…Methodological differences can explain the discrepancy. Malta et al (14) assessed the prevalence of obesity in 26 Brazilian state capitals and in the Federal District of Brasília on the basis of data on height and weight collected via telephone interviews, whereas, in the present study and in the study conducted in São Paulo, (35) height and weight were objectively measured.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and asthma, according to body mass index (BMI), as well as to evaluate factors associated with physician-diagnosed asthma, in individuals ≥ 40 years of age. Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in Florianópolis, Brazil, with probability sampling. Data were collected during home visits. Demographic data were collected, as were reports of physician-diagnosed asthma, respiratory symptoms, medications in use, and comorbidities. Anthropometric measurements were taken. Individuals also underwent spirometry before and after bronchodilator administration. Individuals were categorized as being of normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2), overweight (25 kg/m2 ≥ BMI < 30 kg/m2), or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Results: A total of 1,026 individuals were evaluated, 274 (26.7%) were of normal weight, 436 (42.5%) were overweight, and 316 (30.8%) were obese. The prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma was 11.0%. The prevalence of obesity was higher in women (p = 0.03), as it was in respondents with ≤ 4 years of schooling (p < 0.001) or a family income of 3-10 times the national minimum wage. Physician-diagnosed asthma was more common among obese individuals than among those who were overweight and those of normal weight (16.1%, 9.9%, and 8.0%, respectively; p = 0.04), as were dyspnea (35.5%, 22.5%, and 17.9%, respectively; p < 0.001) and wheezing in the last year (25.6%, 11.9%, and 14.6%, respectively; p < 0.001). These results were independent of patient smoking status. In addition, obese individuals were three times more likely to report physician-diagnosed asthma than were those of normal weight (p = 0.005). Conclusions: A report of physician-diagnosed asthma showed a significant association with being ≥ 40 years of age and with having a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. Being obese tripled the chance of physician-diagnosed asthma.

“…Na Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (2013), inquérito populacional para doenças crônicas autorreferidas realizado em amostra aleatória de moradores de domicílios particulares, foi observada uma prevalência de HAS e DM em idosos do Rio Grande do Sul de 53,3% e 17,7%, respectivamente 15 . A prevalência mais elevada encontrada no presente estudo reflete provavelmente o fato de se tratar de uma população de baixa renda e escolaridade, tornando esses indivíduos, principalmente os com maior idade, mais vulneráveis à ocorrência de DCNT 16,17 . É importante ter cautela na interpretação desses achados J Bras Psiquiatr.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Investigar a associação das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e fatores sociodemográficos com sintomas de depressão em idosos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal com 1.391 idosos cadastrados na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Os dados sociodemográficos e de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis foram coletados pelos agentes comunitários de saúde. A Escala de Depressão Geriátrica abreviada foi utilizada para investigar os sintomas de depressão. Resultados: Aproximadamente 81% referiram ao menos uma doença crônica não transmissível. Os sintomas depressivos foram associados com sexo feminino, doença coronariana, insuficiência cardíaca e acidente vascular cerebral; ≥ 8 anos de estudo e ter companheiro foram protetores. Dentre as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, as cardiovasculares e as cerebrovasculares têm associação independente com sintomas de depressão. Conclusões: Esses resultados corroboram a hipótese de que a doença vascular seja um fator de risco para o comprometimento encefálico associado à depressão. Evidencia-se o importante papel dos agentes comunitários de saúde, na Estratégia Saúde da Família, com potencial utilidade nas políticas públicas para a saúde mental do idoso. ABSTRACTObjective: To investigate the association between non-communicable chronic diseases and sociodemographic factors with symptoms of depression in elderly. Methods: Transversal study conducted with 1,391 elderly patients registered in the Family Health Strategy. Social--demographic and non-communicable chronic diseases data were collected by community health agents. Geriatric Depression Scale abbreviate was used to investigate symptoms of depression. Results: About 81% of all patients reported at least one non-communicable chronic disease. Symptoms of depression was associated with women, coronary disease, cardiac insufficiency and cerebrovascular accident; education ≥ 8 years and having a companion were shown to be protecting factors. Conclusions: Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular non--communicable chronic diseases are independently associated with depression. These results support the hypothesis that vascular disease is a risk factor for brain impairment associated with depression. This research illustrates the role of community health agents within Family Health Strategy as a tool for public mental health policy.

“…7 The exponential growth of clinical research in Brazil is undeniable, also in the area of pulmonology, creating a market that intertwines various aspects. This growth stems from greater awareness of the prevalence of respiratory diseases and chronic diseases in general 8 in the country and specifically in the respiratory area, as well as the number of new drugs that are being developed for asthma, 9 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 10 pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. 11 Experience has shown that centers initially associated with sponsored clinical research, those sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry, have started to perform academic research.…”
