BrDMrisc – Online Brazilian Risk Score for Incident Type 2 Diabetes – Elsa-Brasil Cohort
OBJECTIVE: To describe the Brazilian Diabetes Risk Score (BrDMrisc), an online calculator for estimating the risk of developing diabetes in 10 years, comparing it to other commonly used screening approaches to identify high-risk of future diabetes. METHODS: BrDMrisc is derived from 7.4-year follow-up data from ELSA-Brasil, a contemporary Brazilian cohort. Risk functions to predict future diabetes were based on socioeconomic, lifestyle, clinical, …
Association between multidrug-resistant bacteria and outcomes in intensive care unit patients
Background In intensive care units (ICUs), infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms should be monitored to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Methods From 2018 to 2020, we investigated all medical records of patients admitted to the ICU of a public university hospital. All patients colonized/infected by MDR microorganisms and submitted to active surveillance cultures (ASCs) were included. Results and discussion Male pa…
Red cell distribution width is associated with cardiovascular risk in adults
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of erythrocyte size variability. Recent studies have shown that RDW is a predictive, and prognostic marker of mortality and cardiovascular (CVD) events in the general population and in CVD patients. This study aimed to investigate the association between RDW and CVD risk in a large sample of adults. A subsample of CVD free participants of the ELSA-Brasil cohort were included (n=4,481). In the cross-s…
The positive association between serum uric acid, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes mellitus in the Elsa-Brasil study
There is a conflict in the literature regarding the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and glycemic status. Therefore, we evaluated the association between SUA level and glycemic status - impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and diabetes mellitus - and insulin resistance, in a large Brazilian study. This is a cross-sectional, observational study with 13,207 participants aged 35-74 years, at baseline (200…
Intake of selected foods and beverages and serum uric acid levels in adults
Objective: To investigate the association between the intake of selected food groups and beverages and serum uric acid (UA). Design: Cross-sectional study using the baseline data (2008–2010) from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Food intake was assessed by food frequency questionnaire with 114 items. Linear and logistic regressions investigated the associations between the daily intake of each food group (servings/d…
Association between C reactive protein and all-cause mortality in the Elsa-Brasil cohort
BACKGROUND: High-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) has been proposed as a marker of incident cardiovascular disease and vascular mortality, and may also be a marker of non-vascular mortality. However, most evidence comes from either North American or European cohorts. The present proposal aims to investigate the association of hsCRP with the risk of all-cause mortality in a multiethnic Brazilian population. METHODS: Baseline data (2008-2010)…
Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (Homa-IR) and metabolic syndrome at baseline of a multicentric Brazilian cohort
Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a method to measure insulin resistance. HOMA-IR cut-offs for identifying metabolic syndrome might vary across populations and body mass index (BMI) levels. We aimed to investigate HOMA-insulin resistance cut-offs that best discriminate individuals with insulin resistance and with metabolic syndrome for each BMI category in a large sample of adults without diabetes in the baseline of …
Método de apuração de custos
Este artigo apresenta um método de apuração dos custos para uma Fundação de Apoio, a partir do estudo de seu caso. Foi realizado mapeamento de suas áreas, cujas técnicas de coleta de dados utilizadas foram: consulta a arquivos e documentos internos, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observações não participantes. Como resultados, foram identificados os procedimentos, os recursos e as atividades desenvolvidas. A análise, por triangulação, permitiu qu…
Chronic kidney disease among adult participants of the Elsa-Brasil cohort
BACKGROUND: There is increased interest in understanding why chronic kidney disease (CKD) rates vary across races and socioeconomic groups. We investigated the distribution of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and CKD according to these factors in Brazilian adults. METHODS: Using baseline data (2008-2010) of 14,636 public sector employees (35-74 years) enrolled in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study …
Delineamento e implementacao do biobanco do Elsa-Brasil
O Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil) é uma coorte prospectiva multicêntrica de funcionários públicos delineada para avaliar os determinantes das doenças crônicas, principalmente a doença cardiovascular e o diabetes tipo 2. Neste artigo são descritos os principais pontos do delineamento e implementação do projeto do biobanco do ELSA-Brasil. São detalhados aspectos econômicos, políticos, logísticos e tecnológicos do estudo. O arti…
Logistica de coleta e transporte de material biologico e organizacao do laboratorio central no Elsa-Brasil
O Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil) é um estudo de coorte multicêntrico com o objetivo de identificar os fatores de risco associados ao diabetes tipo 2 e à doença cardiovascular na população brasileira. O artigo descreve as estratégias de coleta, processamento, transporte e de controle de qualidade dos exames de sangue e urina no ELSA. O estudo optou pela centralização dos exames em um único laboratório. O processamento das amo…
The Bambuí Health and Aging Study (BHAS)
The aim of this cross sectional study was to investigate whether holding a private health plan affects the consumption of medical services (hospitalization and visits to a doctor) and use of medications by older adults. All residents in Bambuí town (Minas Gerais, Brazil) aged > or = 60 years (n = 1,742) were selected. From these, 92.2% were interviewed and 85.9% were examined (blood tests and physical measurements). After adjustments for counfoun…
The Bambuí Health and Aging study (BHAS)
For a long time it was believed that the kinds of risk factors that we found in the urban section of the municipality of Bambuí were public health problems only in large Brazilian cities. Around 72% of the municipalities in Brazil have < or = 20,000 inhabitants, and these smaller municipalities contain some 19% of the country's entire population. The high prevalence of various risk factors among the older and younger adults in Bambuí indicates a …
The Bambuí health and ageing study (BHAS)
OBJECTIVE: A cohort study has been designed to identify predictors of adverse health events in the elderly. The methodology of the study and preliminary descriptive results are presented. METHODS: The study population comprises all residents of Bambuí (Minas Gerais, Brazil), aged 60 or more years (n=1.742). From these, 92.2% were interviewed and 85.9% underwent clinical examination, consisting of haematological and biochemical tests, serology for…
