Depressive and anxiety symptoms after the 2024 flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
The 2024 flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, was the worst natural disaster in the history of the state. We aimed to examine the impact of flooding on individuals’ lives and depressive and anxiety symptoms among residents of Rio Grande do Sul. We analyzed data from the Prospective Study on Mental and Physical Health in Adults (PAMPA), conducted with adults from Rio Grande do Sul. Participants completed an online questionnaire between September…
What changed after two years of Covid-19
The PAMPA Cohort aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical and mental health outcomes of adults. We present data from the fourth wave of the PAMPA Cohort, the updated cohort profile and methodology. The PAMPA Cohort is a prospective study initially designed to have three data collection waves (June 2020, December 2020, and June 2021). With the pandemic progression, three new waves were programmed in addition …

Short-term impact of Covid-19 pandemic on low back pain
Although the prevalence of LBP did not change at the first months of COVID-19 pandemic, LBP-induced impairment in daily activities and pain intensity was higher when compared to before the pandemic
Prevalence and factors associated with long Covid in adults from Southern Brazil
Most COVID-19 survivors have reported experiencing persistent symptoms after the infection - these types of cases are known as long COVID. Since Brazil was an epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, a high burden of long COVID is expected. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors associated with long COVID in adults in Southern Brazil, analyzing data from the PAMPA cohort. Participants filled out a self-reported online questionnaire in…
Managing noncommunicable diseases during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil
The objective was to identify the impact of social distance in the management of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) in the adult population from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. This is an ambispective, population-based cohort study. Descriptive analysis and Poisson regression models were used and the results were reported as prevalence ratio and 95% confidence intervals. From a total of 1,288 participants, 43.1% needed medical care a…
Are gender differences in physical inactivity associated with the burden of dementia in low- and lower-middle income countries
We explore the association between gender differences in physical inactivity and dementia in low and lower-middle-income countries (LLMIC). Data were extracted from the Repository of the Global Health Observatory and the United Nations Development Program with 2016 as reference year. Sample was composed using countries with a Human Development Index lower than 0.700. We calculated the population attributable fraction for physical inactivity in de…
Multimorbidity and leisure-time physical activity over the life course
These data support the notion of a protective physical activity "legacy" at early ages of childhood against multimorbidity at older ages. We highlight the need for LTPA promotion through intervention tailored especially on schooling and older ages in order to reduce the burden of multimorbidity
Ethnoracial disparity among patients with dementia during Covid-19 pandemic
We aim to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ethnoracial disparities in hospitalizations due to dementia and its related outcomes, in Brazil. A longitudinal panel study was carried out with data extracted from the Hospital Information Systems of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SIH/SUS). We assessed the number of hospital admission per 100,000 inhabitants, mean inpatient spending, and inpatient mortality rate due to d…
Ten-year trends in hospitalizations due to Alzheimer's disease in Brazil
Brazil has the second highest age-standardized prevalence of Alzheimer's disease worldwide. However, information about Alzheimer's disease-related hospitalizations in Brazil is scarce despite its economic and social impact. We described temporal trends in hospitalizations related to Alzheimer's disease in Brazil from 2010 to 2019. We conducted a time-series, retrospective, descriptive, national-based study using data from the DATASUS database of …
Is Brazil ready for the expected increase in dementia prevalence
It is estimated that around 50 million people worldwide were living with dementia in 2019, with roughly 60% living in low-and middle-income countries 1 . This represents a new case of dementia every three seconds 1 . Further, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that by 2050 (i.e., 30 years later), the expected prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is of 152 million cases 1 . While the incidence of dementia is stabilizing …
Economic burden of physical inactivity in hospitalizations due to dementia
Our study aimed at determining the economic burden of leisure-time physical inactivity in hospitalizations due to dementia in Brazil. In this national-wide descriptive study, we used secondary data from the Brazilian Health Informatics Department and from the latest Brazilian National Health Survey (2013). Rate of hospitalization and economic cost were extracted from 2013. Leisure-time physical inactivity prevalence was used to estimate its popul…
