SP1-86 Follow-up and incident outcomes in a longitudinal study in Brazil (Elsa-Brasil)
Introduction Baseline data from Longitudinal Study of Adults Health (ELSA—Brasil), a cohort that investigates incidence and predictors of chronic diseases among 15 000 civil servants aged 35–74 years from six universities in Brazil, was fully accomplished in December 2010. From now on, main challenges are: avoid loss to follow-up over time, correct identification, and classification of incident outcomes. Methods Follow-up data collection relies o…
SP4-14 Passive smoking in Brazil
Introduction Passive smoking has been linked to an increased morbid-mortality risk, mainly by cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. This is first Brazilian nationwide study that describes indoor passive smoking, at home and at work, among participants (15+ years) of the “Special Research on Smoking,” a sub-sample of the PNAD2008, a representative national home survey. Methods Non-smokers who reported exposure to indoor household smoking were c…
P2-235 Verbal fluency tests reliability in a Brazilian Multicentric Study, Elsa Brasil
Introduction Because of the pronounced and fast population ageing of low and middle-income countries, dementia is now a leading cause of disability. Verbal Fluency Tests (VFT) were used to assess cognitive functions in ELSA (Longitudinal Study of Adults’ Health - Brasil), a cohort that investigates incidence and predictors of chronic diseases among 15 000 civil servants (35–74 years old). The performance in VFT needs to be evaluated by a trained …
O6-1.1 The global status of epidemiology
To take stock of the current status of epidemiology throughout the world, the International Epidemiological Association commissioned a series of eight reviews that are being published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, starting in February 2011. Each review addresses one region of the world, and starts by describing the burden of disease and the current status of epidemiology, covering human resources, training, academic and research i…
