P1-318 Late preterm birth and risk of behavioural problems at 4 years of age
Introduction Preterm births have been associated with behavioural problems later on. This study aimed to investigate whether late preterm (LPT) children (34–36 weeks gestation) are at increased risk of presenting behavioural problems at the age of 4 years old comparatively to full term children (37–42 weeks). Methods Children from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort were enrolled just after birth and were followed-up at home in several occasions when i…
P2-243 The protective effect of predominant and exclusive breastfeeding on malocclusion
Introduction There is a lack of evidence supporting the protective effect of breastfeeding on occlusion in primary dentition. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of predominant (PB) and exclusive breastfeeding (EB) on malocclusion adjusting for recognised risk factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out nested in a population-based birth cohort from Pelotas, Brazil which started in 2004. A sample of 1129 children aged 5 …
P1-10 Development and psychometric properties of a scale to measure health effects of discrimination
Introduction The development of discrimination scales is an emerging field of enquiry in the area of social determinants of health. However, published scales cannot distinguish health consequences of discrimination as a result of the exposure to differential treatments of any kind from the strict attribution of these events to discrimination. We report the development of a scale that may clarify the relative importance of the effects of these cog…

The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of dental pain in preschool children and its association with life course characteristics.

P1-390 Early and contemporary determinants of cognitive function
Introduction The 2004 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort has put strong emphasis on child development and cognition. In this work we explore how early and contemporary determinants relate to cognitive ability measured by WPPSI IQ test at age four. Methods Early determinants explored were wealth, maternal schooling, smoking during pregnancy, birth size and neonatal morbidity, based on information collected just after birth and at 3, 12 and 24 months of…
SP3-37 Tobacco smoking in Brazil

Objectives To describe the prevalence of daily tobacco smoking according to sex, age, per capita household income and occupation of residents over 15-year old in Brazil and macro-regions. Methods We analysed data of 252.768 individuals from the 2008 Brazilian National Survey, the Pesqu…
Razing Babel and the Problems of Constructing Peace
NEAR Verdun, French Premier Georges Clemenceau gave a speech in July 1919 in which he paid rude homage to the passage from one era to another. As he put it, ‘it is easier to make war than peace’.1 Like most of the participants in the drafting of the Versailles Treaty, and historians afterwards, Clemenceau maintained that the problems and irenic possibilities of the 1920s really began with their birth at the peace negotiations, rather than their g…
Socio-economic and ethnic group inequities in antenatal care quality in the public and private sector in Brazil
BACKGROUND: Socio-economic inequalities in maternal and child health are ubiquitous, but limited information is available on how much the quality of care varies according to wealth or ethnicity in low- and middle-income countries. Also, little information exists on quality differences between public and private providers. METHODS: Quality of care for women giving birth in 2004 in Pelotas, Brazil, was assessed by measuring how many of 11 procedure…
