  • Characterization of 843 children with Zika-related microcephaly in the first three years of life

    Open AccessDemócrito De Barros Miranda Filho, Ricardo Arraes De Alencar Ximenes et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    One of the main gaps in characterizing the congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) up to now is the small number of participants in individual studies. Pooling the data together overcomes the sample size-related limitations of individual studies and provides an opportunity for investigating heterogeneity between studies and, as appropriate, to better characterize the CZS . This study aims to describe adverse anthropometric, clinical, and neuroimaging outc…

  • Asthmatic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents

    Open AccessG L Fattore, Leila D Amorim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2022

METHODS: We used two population-based cross-sectional studies from the Social Change Allergy and Asthma in Latin America project in Salvador, Brazil. A total of 1003 children and mothers interviewed in 2006 were included, of whom 873…

    Experiences of discrimination are an important aspect of women's life in Brazil, especially Black women. The Experiences of Discrimination scale (EOD) is often used for assessing discrimination in epidemiological studies, although divergent cutoff points have been used to characterize the exposure. We used latent class analysis (LCA) and logistic regression to identify and characterize subgroups of women exposed to discrimination and compared wit…

  • Measuring the level of social support using latent class analysis

    Open AccessLetícia Marques Dos Santos, Leila Denise A F Amorim et al.ARTICLESocial Science Research2015Cited by: 3References: 30

    Different instruments have been used to measure social support in epidemiological studies of which the most widely used is the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale (SSS-MOS). However, these studies lack measures of the level of social support on health risks. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to distinguish subgroups with different levels of perceived social support and tested the consistency of these subgroups by their associations with…
