“…In recent decades, a considerable increase in its use in several epidemiological studies has been observed [2][3][4][5] . A systematic review that addressed the use of the variables such as race, color, and ethnicity in Brazilian epidemiological studies, also found an increasing use of these variables as predictors of health outcomes, such as in research on the epidemiology of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), infectious and parasitic diseases, nutritional epidemiology, among others [3][4][5] . Among adults, studies using race/skin color as an explanatory variable have been carried out more frequently.…”

Although the latter procedure may occasionally prove problematic and questionable 15,16 , it is frequently backed by similarities between pretos and pardos in terms of income and schooling, attempts at increasing statistical power in quantitative analyses, and by the fact that public policies in Brazil currently treat the two population segments jointly.…”

“…Previous analyses of ethnicity in health research have pointed to the inconsistency and diversity of the conceptualisations, operationalisations, and categorisations of ethnicity in biomedical health research (Bradby, 2003;Lee, 2009;Bhopal and Donaldson, 1998;Kabad et al, 2012). For instance, from a content analysis of biomedical publications, Lee (2009) found that many authors neither define ethnicity or race adequately, nor do many of them provide explanations for the ethnic or racial differences they have found (see also Comstock et al, 2004).…”
