Dementia prevention, intervention, and care
Dementia-related stigma among health professionals, family carers, people with dementia, and the general public in Brazil
People living with dementia often experience stigma and discrimination. There is a dearth of research on this topic in low- and middle-income countries, where the majority of people living with dementia reside. We conducted a secondary analysis of an international database from Alzheimer’s Disease International on the knowledge and attitudes toward people living with dementia among four groups: carers, health professionals, people living with dem…
Experiences of stigma and discrimination among people living with dementia and family carers in Brazil
This study aimed to understand stigma in relation to people living with dementia in São Paulo, Brazil. A critical narrative inquiry methodology was used. Home-based semi-structured interviews were conducted between January and March 2020 with six people living with dementia and 15 family carers. Data analysis was conducted using inductive and deductive techniques. The latter was informed by Link and Phelan's sociological theory of stigma. We foun…
A decreased trajectory of loneliness among Brazilians aged 50 years and older during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study aimed to estimate prevalence of loneliness among older Brazilian adults over the first seven months of the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify the predictors of loneliness trajectories. Pre-pandemic data derived from face-to-face interviews of participants of the 2019-2020 Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil), which is a nationally representative study of community-dwelling individuals aged 50 years and over. Pandemic data…
Violence between Different Members in the Family System
Objective: To investigate the associations between different types of violence within the family. Method: A household survey of a representative sample of adult women in two neighborhoods with different social-economic profiles in a Brazilian city. Data in respect of intimate partner violence (using the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales) and violence against children (using the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales) were collected. Results: We inter…
Cognitive function among older adults
OBJECTIVE: To investigate macroregional variations in cognitive function in a national sample representative of the Brazilian population aged 50 years and older. METHODS: Data from the baseline of the Longitudinal Study of Brazilian Elderly (ELSI-Brazil), collected between 2015 and 2016, were used. Memory was measured by means of a 10-word list and executive function, by semantic verbal fluency, based on the naming of animals. Gender, age, educat…
Burden of disease in Brazil, 1990–2016
BACKGROUND: Political, economic, and epidemiological changes in Brazil have affected health and the health system. We used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD 2016) results to understand changing health patterns and inform policy responses. METHODS: We analysed GBD 2016 estimates for life expectancy at birth (LE), healthy life expectancy (HALE), all-cause and cause-specific mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disabilit…
Inovação e avanços em atenção primária no Brasil

Esta nueva biblioteca virtual hace más accesibles los libros digitales de tema americanista a los investigadores y usuarios interesados de cualquier parte del mundo
Nonprescribed use of tranquilizers or sedatives by adolescents
A substantial proportion of Brazilian adolescents use nonprescribed tranquilizers/sedatives. Easy access to these substances seems to play an important role in this use and should be tackled by preventive and treatment interventions
Common values in assessing health outcomes from disease and injury
P2-37 Association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality in old age
Introduction This study investigates the association of sleep duration with risk of all-cause mortality among elderly Brazilians using data from a 9-year population-based cohort study. Methods it applies a multivariable longitudinal categorical and continuous analysis using Cox proportional hazards models. This analysis used data from the Bambui Health and Ageing Study, conducted in Bambuí city in southeastern Brazil. The study population compris…
P2-536 Co-occurrence of anxiety and depression among older adults in low and middle-income countries
Background There is relative little information about the prevalence and risk factors of co-morbid anxiety and depression in later life. These disorders are often associated with worse response to treatment than either condition alone, and researching its epidemiology in diverse settings is vital to policy makers. We therefore investigated the co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive syndromes among older adults living in developing countries and …
P2-171 Pain among older people and its impact on disability
Introduction Pain is an important indicator of health mainly among older adults. The aim of the present study is to describe the prevalence of pain and to examine the relationship between pain and disability in elderly. Methods One-phase cross-sectional surveys of all residents aged 65 years and over (n=15 177) living in eight low- and middle-income countries. Pain was measured using three questions, about frequency, severity and extent of limita…
The prevalence and social patterning of chronic diseases among older people in a population undergoing health transition. A 10/66 Group cross-sectional population-based survey in the Dominican Republi…
The prevalence of many chronic diseases is similar in predominately low socioeconomic status neighbourhoods in the Dominican Republic to that in the USA. Prevalence of age-associated conditions is likely to increase with demographic ageing. There is also scope for increases in cardiovascular disease prevalence, if, as observed in other settings undergoing the epidemiologic transition, the burden of risk factors shifts towards the less affluent. M…
Chronic disease prevalence and care among the elderly in urban and rural Beijing, China - a 10/66 Dementia Research Group cross-sectional survey
Apparent better health in Daxing might be explained by under-diagnosis, under-reporting or selective mortality. Far-reaching structural reforms may be needed to improve access and strengthen rural healthcare. The impact of social and economic change is already apparent in Xicheng, with important implications for future long-term care
The 10/66 Dementia Research Group's fully operationalised DSM-IV dementia computerized diagnostic algorithm, compared with the 10/66 dementia algorithm and a clinician diagnosis
The DSM-IV criterion, strictly applied, defines a narrow category of unambiguous dementia characterized by marked impairment. It may be specific but incompletely sensitive to clinically relevant cases. The 10/66 dementia diagnosis defines a broader category that may be more sensitive, identifying genuine cases beyond those defined by our DSM-IV algorithm, with relevance to the estimation of the population burden of this disorder
The epidemiology of dependency among urban-dwelling older people in the Dominican Republic; a cross-sectional survey
Dependency among older people is nearly as prevalent in Dominican Republic as in developed western settings. Non-communicable diseases, particularly dementia are the main contributing factors. Attention needs to be directed towards the development of age-appropriate healthcare, a long-term care policy, and mechanisms for ensuring the social protection of older persons
The protocols for the 10/66 dementia research group population-based research programme
The 10/66 DRG baseline population-based studies are nearly complete. The incidence phase will be completed in 2009. All investigators are committed to establish an anonymised file sharing archive with monitored public access. Our aim is to create an evidence base to empower advocacy, raise awareness about dementia, and ensure that the health and social care needs of older people are anticipated and met
The impact of maternal experience of violence and common mental disorders on neonatal outcomes
Efforts to improve neonatal outcomes in low income countries may be neglecting two important independent, but correlated risk factors: maternal experience of violence and common mental disorder
Gravidez na adolescência
Com objetivo de identificar o perfil sócio-demográfico e comportamental de gestantes adolescentes, foram entrevistadas mil adolescentes, admitidas entre 24 de julho de 2001 e 27 de novembro de 2002, em um hospital municipal de São Paulo, Brasil, correspondendo a 24,3% das internações para resolução da gestação. Setenta (7%) adolescentes foram admitidas para curetagem pós-abortamento e 930 (93%), para parturição, com idade média de 17 ± 1,5 anos. …
Global prevalence of dementia
Epidemiological methods for research with drug misusers
Epidemiological studies of drug misusers have until recently relied on two main forms of sampling: probability and convenience. The former has been used when the aim was simply to estimate the prevalence of the condition and the latter when in depth studies of the characteristics, profiles and behaviour of drug users were required, but each method has its limitations. Probability samples become impracticable when the prevalence of the condition i…
