  • Ultra-processed food consumption and body mass index from adolescence to early adulthood

    Open AccessMichele Krüger Vaz Moreira, Adriana Kramer Fiala Machado et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2026

    Given the evidence linking ultra-processed food consumption to adverse health outcomes and the lack of longitudinal studies jointly addressing ultra-processed food consumption and body mass index (BMI), this study identified multi-trajectory groups from adolescence to early adulthood and described their demographic and behavioral characteristics. Data from the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort at ages 15, 18, and 22 (n = 2,890) were analyzed. Se…

  • Intersection of race/skin color and sex in intentional self-inflicted injury rates among Brazilian people (2014-2023)

    Open AccessGabriel Calegaro, Bruna G C Da Silva et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2026Referências: 20

    Suicidal and self-injurious behaviors are major public health issues, disproportionately affecting youth. While global suicide rates declined, Brazil has seen a significant rise over recent decades. Considering the persistent social inequality in Brazil, especially among Black/Mixed-race women, an intersectional approach is essential to understanding how the combination of social identities impacts health. This study analyzes reported intentional…

  • Life history trade-offs associated with exposure to low maternal capital are different in sons compared to daughters

    Open AccessJ Wells, Jonathan C K Wells et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: Environmental exposures in early life explain variability in many physiological and behavioural traits in adulthood. Recently, we showed that exposure to a composite marker of low maternal capital explained the clustering of adverse behavioural and physical traits in adult daughters in a Brazilian birth cohort. These associations were strongly mediated by whether or not the daughter had reproduced by the age of 18 years. Using evoluti…
