Ocorrência de síndrome metabólica em adultos jovens e desigualdades segundo sexo, cor da pele e posição socioeconômica
Este estudo buscou identificar a prevalência de síndrome metabólica aos 22 e 30 anos abordando desigualdades por sexo, cor da pele e posição socioeconômica, e suas intersecções. Análise transversal utilizando dados das coortes de nascimento de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, de 1993 (22 anos) e de 1982 (22 e 30 anos).

Occurrence of metabolic syndrome in young adults and inequalities according to sex, skin color, and socioeconomic status
The aim of the present study was to identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome at 22 and 30 years of age, determine inequalities by sex, skin color, and socioeconomic status, and investigate the intersections of these variables. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the 1993 (22 years of age) and 1982 (22 and 30 years of age) Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort. Metabolic syndrome was defined based on the criteria of the National …
Lessons from 13 years of accelerometry measurements in five Brazilian cohorts
This study describes key methodological decisions and their justifications for accelerometer data collection, processing, and cleaning/analysis in Pelotas (Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil) cohorts, exemplifying how research using sensor monitors could be carried out in a middle-income country context. This is a descriptive methodological study using raw accelerometer data from five Brazilian population-based cohorts with 32,963 individuals. Data …
Towards a better understanding of real-world home-visiting programs
BACKGROUND: The scale-up of parenting programmes to support early childhood development (ECD) is poorly understood. Little is known about how and when early interventions are most effective. Sustainability of ECD programming requires a better understanding of the mechanisms of real-world interventions. We examined the effects on caregiving practices of Primeira Infância Melhor (PIM), a state-wide home-visiting programme in Brazil. METHODS: This p…
Women’s health and well-being in five birth cohorts from low- and middle-income countries
Background: Women's health and well-being (WHW) have been receiving growing attention, but limited progress has been made on how to measure its different domains in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We used data from five long-term birth cohorts in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines and South Africa to explore different domains of adult WHW, and how these domains relate to early life exposures. Methods: Based upon an a priori conceptualis…
Predictors of early child development for screening pregnant women most in need of support in Brazil
Background: Home visiting programmes can support child development and reduce inequalities, but failure to identify the most vulnerable families can undermine such efforts. We examined whether there are strong predictors of poor child development that could be used to screen pregnant women in primary health care settings to target early interventions in a Brazilian population. Considering selected predictors, we assessed coverage and focus of a l…
The effects of a large-scale home visiting programme for child development on use of health services in Brazil
Partnership between early childhood development interventions and primary health care services can help catalyse health care uptake by socially vulnerable families. This study aimed to assess the real-life effects of a large-scale home visiting programme [Primeira Infância Melhor (PIM)] in Brazil on the use of preventive (prenatal visits, well child visits, dentist visits and vaccination) and recovery (emergency room visits and hospitalization) h…
Effectiveness of a large-scale home visiting programme (PIM) on early child development in Brazil
BACKGROUND: A large-scale parenting programme with weekly home visits (Primeira Infância Melhor (PIM)) has been implemented in the south of Brazil for nearly two decades, but lacks evaluation of its effects on early childhood development (ECD). This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effects of PIM in real-life settings within a population-based birth cohort study. METHODS: Data from the 2015 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study and the state pro…
Geographic inequalities in health intervention coverage – mapping the composite coverage index in Peru using geospatial modelling
Our study highlighted provinces with high levels of inequality in CCI coverage indicating areas, mostly low-populated jungle areas, where more attention is needed. We also uncovered other areas, such as the border with Bolivia, where coverage is lower than the coastal provinces and should receive increased efforts. More generally, our results make the case for high-resolution estimates to unveil geographic inequities otherwise hidden by the usual…
Covid-19 and outpatient care
We aimed to assess the proportion of the population in 133 Brazilian municipalities who - from March to August 2020 - had a health problem but failed to seek care or failed to attend to a health service for routine appointment or examination. We conducted a household survey from August 24-27 in 133 Brazilian cities by asking the subjects if, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they had suffered from a health problem but di…
Uso de máscara durante a pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil
A pandemia de COVID-19 já causou mais de 399 milhões de infecções e custou a vida de mais de cinco milhões de pessoas no mundo, até 3 de março de 2022. Para reduzir a taxa de infecção, uma série de medidas de prevenção indicadas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) foram adotadas pelos países, entre elas, o uso de máscara. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever a utilização de máscara na população brasileira, através da análise de dados do EPICOV…

Influence of maternal pre-pregnancy nutritional status on offspring anthropometric measurements and body composition in three Brazilian Birth Cohorts
Objective: We aimed at evaluating the association of maternal pre-pregnancy nutritional status with offspring anthropometry and body composition. We also evaluated whether these associations were modified by gender, diet and physical activity and mediated by birth weight. Design: Birth cohort study. Setting: Waist circumference was measured with an inextensible tape, and fat and lean mass were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Mult…

Association between cesarean section and human capital in adulthood
This study aims to assess the association between mode of delivery and human capital among young adults enrolled in the 1982 and 1993 Pelotas birth cohorts, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brasil. In 1982 and 1993, the maternity hospitals of the municipality were daily visited, the births identified, and those live births, whose family lived in the urban area of Pelotas, were examined and their mothers interviewed. Information on mode of delivery, vagin…
Sars-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in Brazil
BACKGROUND: Population-based data on COVID-19 are essential for guiding policies. There are few such studies, particularly from low or middle-income countries. Brazil is currently a hotspot for COVID-19 globally. We aimed to investigate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody prevalence by city and according to sex, age, ethnicity group, and socioeconomic status, and compare seroprevalence estimates with official sta…
Estrutura etária e mortalidade por Covid-19
Epicovid19 protocol
The first case of COVID-19 was reported in China in December 2019, and, as the virus has spread worldwide, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. Estimates on the number of COVID-19 cases do not reflect it real magnitude as testing is limited. Population based data on the proportion of the population with antibodies is relevant for planning public health policies. We aim to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, presence o…
Evolução da prevalência de infecção por Covid-19 no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
A COVID-19 é uma doença produzida pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2. Esse vírus se espalhou rapidamente pelo mundo, o que levou a Organização Mundial da Saúde a classificar a COVID-19 como uma emergência de saúde internacional e, posteriormente, a declará-la uma pandemia. O número de casos confirmados, no dia 11 de abril de 2020, já passa de 1.700.000, porém esses dados não refletem a real prevalência de COVID-19 na população, visto que, em muitos países, os…
