The HIV/Aids Epidemiological Challenges
HIV/AIDS remains a public health challenge in Latin America, and Brazil has emerged as a global reference for effective epidemiological control through its comprehensive public health response. This study investigated epidemiological trends in Brazil from 2015 to 2024, including HIV and AIDS incidence, AIDS-related mortality, time from diagnosis to antiretroviral therapy initiation, CD4 + T cell counts at diagnosis, and viral suppression. We aime…
P2-109 Increase income and mortality of colorectal cancer in Brazil
Objective The objective of this study is to determine the correlation between average per capita income and the rate of colorectal cancer mortality in Brazil between 2000 and 2007. Materials and Methods We obtained data on median household income and mortality rate for colon, rectum and anus between 2001 and 2007 by DATASUS. A trend analysis was performed using linear regression, and correlation between variables by Pearson's correlation coeffici…
SP6-19 Serum concentration of HCH, DDT and metabolites in adolescents exposed to organochlorine pesticide residues in Brazil
Objective To evaluate the concentration of biomarkers of exposure to residues of organochlorine pesticides in adolescents in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods We obtained laboratory results of serum concentrations of the isomers of HCH and DDT metabolites from the data collection from medical records at a local health unit from a previous screening. Results We observed concentrations were considered well above the tolerance limits allowed. The dist…
P2-108 Trends in mortality from breast and cervical cancer in the Brazilian capital cities, 1996–2007
Objective To analyse the trend in mortality from breast cancer and cervical cancer in Brazilian capitals from 1996 to 2007. Materials and Methods We calculated mortality rates for breast cancer and cervical cancer in Brazilian capital cities from 1996 to 2007, standardised for the Brazilian population and for the world's population. Trend analysis was performed using the polynomial regression model. Results Cancer of the cervix showed a considera…
SP3-27 Race and access to prenatal care in Brazil
Objective To measure the correlation of race/ethnicity in Brazil with coverage of prenatal consultations, taking into account the races: white, brown and black. Materials and Methods This is an ecological descriptive study whose premise is that there is a correlation between the ethnic composition of population and quantitative coverage of antenatal care of pregnant women in the population of Brazil. The data were analysed using the coefficient o…
SP6-21 Patterns of breastfeeding and determinant factors in Brazil
Breastfeeding has innumerable advantages on the child, its family and society. Although the governmental efforts, of the professionals of health and the society in the direction to promote, to protect and to support this practical, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding until 6th life month remains less than ideal. The objective of this study is to determine the correlation of exclusive and non-exclusive breastfeeding with some basic health in…
SP6-20 Occupational health risks
The goal of this study is to present the reliability test of Boix and Vogel's risk assessment scale in work environments for health area in Brazil. For this, 73 nursing professionals from Brazil answered the scale version, and replied the instrument with a range of 15 days. For internal consistency evaluation of dimensions it was used the Cronbach's α; to assess the strength of association between the constructs was used the intraclass correlatio…
SP4-13 Differences in children's and adults vulnerability to air and water pollution
Objective To discuss the differential susceptibility of children to environmental exposures using mortality rates for children and adults for infectious respiratory and gastrointestinal problems. Materials and Methods We conducted an ecological study. We examined the trend in mortality rate from acute respiratory infections and acute diarrhoeal diseases and compared this with the consumption of chlorofluorocarbons—CFCs (air pollutant) and coverag…
P2-412 Temporal trends of tuberculosis and TB/HIV co-infection in Brazil and globally, 1996–2008
Background Tuberculosis (TB) represents a major challenge for Brazil and the world, especially because of the presence of pockets of poverty and coinfection with TB/HIV. The aim of the study is to analyse the trend of prevalence, incidence and mortality of tuberculosis cases, associated or not with HIV in Brazil and worldwide. Materials and Methods We used data on prevalence, incidence and mortality from tuberculosis, with or without HIV co-infec…
