    O efeito da temperatura ambiente na mortalidade varia entre locais e populações sugerindo a presença de modificadores de efeito dessa associação. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a influência de fatores geográficos, urbanos e socioeconômicos no efeito da temperatura ambiente na mortalidade não acidental da população geral e idosa das regiões metropolitanas brasileiras, e a associada às mortalidades circulatória, respiratória e outras causas d…

  • Effect modifiers of the temperature-mortality association for general and older adults population of Brazil's metropolitan areas

    Open AccessCristiane Aschidamini, Antonio C M Ponce De LeonARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2025References: 44

    Ambient temperature effect on mortality varies between places and populations, suggesting the existence of effect modifiers for this association. This study analyzes the influence of geographic, urban, and socioeconomic factors on the ambient temperature effect on non-accidental mortality in the general and older adults population of Brazilian metropolitan areas, and on that associated with circulatory, respiratory, and other mortality in older a…

  • The impact of residency training in family medicine on hospital admissions due to Ambulatory-care Sensitive Conditions in Rio de Janeiro

    Open AccessAdelson Guaraci Jantsch, Bo Burström et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Lack of skilled human resources in primary care remains a major concern for policymakers in low- and middle-income countries. There is little evidence supporting the impact of residency training in family medicine in the quality of care, and it perpetuates misconceptions among policymakers that the provision of primary care can be easily done by any physician without special training. This article compares the risk of patients being hospitalized …

  • Exposição ao uso da lenha para cocção no Brasil e sua relação com os agravos à saúde da população

    Open AccessAdriana Gioda, Gisele Birman Tonietto et al.ARTICLECiência & Saúde Coletiva2019

    A poluição do ar em ambientes fechados é agravada pela queima de lenha em fogões rústicos e ambientes pouco ventilados. A exposição aos poluentes emitidos por este tipo de combustível resulta no aumento da morbidade e da mortalidade. No Brasil, os estudos e as estimativas são escassos.

  • A repeated measurement study investigating the impact of school outdoor environment upon physical activity across ages and seasons in Swedish second, fifth and eighth graders

    Open AccessPeter Pagels, Anders Raustorp et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    We conclude that school outdoor environment design and outdoor play time impact physical activity on a daily basis and may contribute to increasing girls' physical activity and moderate the sharp decline in physical activity by age. The school outdoor environment may thus be a potential health promoter during school time

  • Is gender policy related to the gender gap in external cause and circulatory disease mortality? A mixed effects model of 22 OECD countries 1973–2008

    Open AccessMona Backhans, Bo Burström et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Results for external cause mortality are in concordance with the hypothesis that women become more exposed to risks of accident and violence when they are economically more active. For circulatory disease mortality, results differ depending on approach--cluster or indicator. Whether cluster differences not explained by specific policies reflect other welfare policies or unrelated societal trends is an open question. Recommendations for further st…
