Social inequalities, green and blue spaces and mental health in 6–12 years old children participating in the Inma cohort
Availability of green and blue spaces in the area of residence has been related to various health outcomes during childhood, including mental health. These environmental exposures are not evenly distributed among socioeconomic groups, which may increase social inequalities in mental health. The mechanisms through which natural environments may promote mental health are numerous and diverse. This study aimed to explore 1) the potential association…
Avaliação do kit Filaria DetectTM IgG4 produzido com o antígeno recombinante Wb123 para diagnóstico da filariose linfática no Brasil
O Plano Global de Eliminação da Filariose Linfática, lançado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde em 2000, propõe o uso de testes de detecção de antígeno circulante filarial como ferramenta diagnóstica para avaliação e monitoramento das ações de controle da parasitose. Entretanto, esses testes, apesar de apresentarem alta sensibilidade, não conseguem detectar com eficiência a infecção em seu estágio inicial, quando ainda não existe a presença de hel…
Linking physical and social environments with mental health in old age
Background Urban stress is mentioned as a plausible mechanism leading to chronic stress, which is a risk factor of depression. Yet, an accurate assessment of urban stressors in environmental epidemiology requires new methods. This article discusses methods for the sensor-based continuous assesment of geographic environments, stress and depressive symptoms in older age. We report protocols of the promoting mental well-being and healthy ageing in c…

Descrever o histórico e metodologia de avaliação do Programa Academia da Saúde (PAS) em Belo Horizonte, MG e discuti-lo como experiência de promoção da saúde e equidade. A partir de dois inquéritos foram obtidos dados de 4.048 não usuários (2008-09) e 402 usuários (2014-15), sendo descritos perfil sócio demográfico e nível de atividade física para ambos grupos. Comparou-se percepção da qualidade de vida, satisfação com a vida, convívio social e p…
Leisure-time physical activity in the vicinity of Academias da Cidade Program in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil
This study analyzed leisure-time physical activity among 1,621 adults who were non-users of the Academias da Cidade Program in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, but who lived in the vicinity of a fitness center in operation (exposed Group I) or in the vicinity of two sites reserved for future installation of centers (control Groups II and III). The dependent variable was leisure-time physical activity, and linear distance from the house…
