Description
To assess physical and/or mental disability prevalence in Salvador, Bahia, 485 favela (shantytown) dwellers and 753 non-favela dwellers age 7 and older were studied in October 1985. Some 77.3 percent of the favela dwellers were either illiterate or had incomplete primary schooling, while 77.2 percent of the non-favela dwellers had completed high school or college. The total prevalence of disability, adjusted by age, was 8 percent for favela dwellers and 2.5 percent for non-favela dwellers. The prevalence of physical disability was 6.2 percent among favela dwellers and 1.9 percent among non-favela dwellers; mental disability occurred among 1.8 percent of favela dwellers and 0.7 percent of non-favela dwellers. Prevalences of disability in the favela group were higher among men than women (ratio of 4.4); there was no difference between sexes in the group of non-favela dwellers (ratio of 1.1). Locomotor impairment was the most prevalent, followed by mental and sensory disabilities. The authors discused the need for more detailed studies on disability, including aspects related to availability of and access to medical care and rehabilitation

Item Healthy aging determinants and disability among older adults: SABE Colombia(2021)[ABSTRACT]. Objective. To identify the main factors associated with disability in older adults in Colombia, adjusted accord-ing to structural and intermediary determinants of healthy aging.Methods. This study used cross-sectional data from 23 694 adults over 60 years of age in the SABE Colombia nationwide survey. Structural determinants such as demographic and socioeconomic position variables were analyzed. Intermediary variables were classified into three blocks: intrinsic capacity, physical and built envi-ronment, and health care systems. Data analysis employed multivariate logistic regression.Results. The prevalence of overall disability was 21% for activities of daily living, 38% for instrumental activi-ties of daily living, and 33% for mobility disability. Disability was associated with sociodemographic structural determinants such as older age, female sex, rural residence, never married/divorced, living alone, low edu-cational level, and Indigenous/Black ethnicity. With regard to determinants of socioeconomic position, net low income, poor socioeconomic stratum, insufficient income perception, and a subsidized health insurance scheme exerted a major influence on disability. Intermediary determinants of intrinsic capacity, such as poor self-rated health, multimorbidity, low grip strength, sedentary lifestyle, early childhood economic adversity, no social support, and no participation in activities, were significantly associated with disability.Conclusions. Actions that affect the main factors associated with disability, such as reducing health inequities through policies, strategies, and activities, can contribute significantly to the well-being and quality of life of Colombian older adults.Item Impact of bullying victimization on suicide and negative health behaviors among adolescents in Latin America(2016)Objective. To compare the prevalence of bullying victimization, suicidal ideation, suicidal attempts, and negative health behaviors (current tobacco use, recent heavy alcohol use, truancy, involvement in physical fighting, and unprotected sexual intercourse) in five different Latin American countries and determine the association of bullying victimization with these outcomes, exploring both bullying type and frequency. Methods. Study data were from Global School–based Student Health Surveys from Bolivia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Peru, and Uruguay, which covered nationally representative samples of school-going adolescents. The surveys used a two-stage clustered sample design, sampling schools and then classrooms. Logistic regression models were run to determine the statistical significance of associations with bullying. Results. Among the 14 560 school-going adolescents included in this study, the prevalence of any bullying victimization in the past 30 days was 37.8%. Bullying victimization was associated with greater odds of suicidal ideation with planning (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 3.12; P < 0.0001) and at least one suicide attempt (AOR: 3.07; P < 0.0001). An increasing exposure– response effect of increasing days of bullying victimization on suicide outcomes was also observed. Bullying victimization was associated with higher odds of current tobacco use (AOR: 2.14; P < 0.0001); truancy (AOR: 1.76; P < 0.0001); physical fighting (AOR: 2.40; P < 0.0001); and unprotected sexual intercourse (AOR: 1.77; P < 0.0001). Conclusions. Although the prevalence of bullying victimization varied by country, its association with suicidal ideation and behavior and negative health behaviors remained relatively consistent. Addressing bullying needs to be made a priority in Latin America, and an integrated approach that also includes mental and physical health promotion is needed.Item Servicios de rehabilitación en Latinoamerica(s.d.)The report reviews the definition of "rehabilitation" -or restoration of an ill or injured person- in accordance with studies made by experts or institutions interested in restoring, insofar as possible, the physically or mentally handicapped to the labor force of each country. The medical and socio-economic aspects are taken into account, as are the degree of development attained in the countries of Latin America which have organized rehabilitation programs to improve the status of their disabled -whether from the time of birth, or due to disease, injury, or accident - with a view to reducing their numbers, which are estimated to be in the millions. A summary is given of the services, facilities, and equipment available, as well as such statistical data as number of hospital beds and physicians in each of the following 15 Latin American countries included in the study: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Some countries which have such programs were not included in the review because of incomplete dataItem Mapa de evidências sobre sequelas e reablitação da covid-19 pós-aguda: uma versão atualizada em julho de 2022(2023)[RESUMO]. Objetivo. Atualizar o mapa de evidências sobre os efeitos de intervenções para reabilitação de covid-19 pós-aguda. Métodos. O escopo da busca foi definido conforme a população (pacientes que tiveram covid-19 sintomática e sequelas da doença pós-aguda), o contexto (intervenções para recuperação das sequelas) e o tipo de estudo (revisão sistemática, revisão sistemática rápida, revisão de escopo ou revisão de revisões). Após a busca na PubMed e na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, dois autores independentes selecionaram estudos de revisão. A atualização do mapa feita em 27 de julho de 2022 seguiu os mesmos procedimentos descritos anteriormente. Resultados. O mapa inicial de evidências continha 22 estudos (quatro revisões sistemáticas, quatro revisões rápidas, quatro revisões de estudos de caso, uma revisão de escopo e nove protocolos de revisão sistemá- tica). Nesta atualização, outros 10 estudos foram incluídos. Foram identificados quatro grupos de intervenções (multimodal, terapêutica, terapias complementares e farmacológica) e sete grupos de desfechos (condições patológicas, doenças/transtornos respiratórios, dor, indicadores fisiológicos e metabólicos, saúde mental/ qualidade de vida, funções sensoriais, mortalidade), totalizando 166 associações entre intervenções e desfe- chos. As terapias complementares tiveram mais associações com os desfechos (n = 94). Entre os desfechos, destacaram-se os indicadores fisiológicos e metabólicos, as condições patológicas e a saúde mental/quali- dade de vida (44, 41 e 35 associações, respectivamente). Conclusões. Na atualização do mapa, analisaram-se 69 associações, com destaque para exercício (isolado, multicomponente ou intervenção multimodal, apresentando 23 efeitos positivos e quatro potencialmente posi- tivos) e intervenções farmacológicas e terapias complementares para funções sensoriais (15 associações). O alto número de protocolos indica que a literatura permanece incipiente.Item Prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 according to socioeconomic and ethnic status in a nationwide Brazilian survey(2020)[ABSTRACT]. Objectives. To investigate socioeconomic and ethnic group inequalities in prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in the 27 federative units of Brazil. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, three household surveys were carried out on May 14-21, June 4-7, and June 21-24, 2020 in 133 Brazilian urban areas. Multi-stage sampling was used to select 250 individuals in each city to undergo a rapid antibody test. Subjects answered a questionnaire on household assets, schooling and self-reported skin color/ethnicity using the standard Brazilian classification in five categories: white, black, brown, Asian or indigenous. Principal component analyses of assets was used to classify socioeconomic position into five wealth quintiles. Poisson regression was used for the analyses. Results. 25 025 subjects were tested in the first, 31 165 in the second, and 33 207 in the third wave of the survey, with prevalence of positive results equal to 1.4%, 2.4%, and 2.9% respectively. Individuals in the poorest quintile were 2.16 times (95% confidence interval 1.86; 2.51) more likely to test positive than those in the wealthiest quintile, and those with 12 or more years of schooling had lower prevalence than subjects with less education. Indigenous individuals had 4.71 (3.65; 6.08) times higher prevalence than whites, as did those with black or brown skin color. Adjustment for region of the country reduced the prevalence ratios according to wealth, education and ethnicity, but results remained statistically significant. Conclusions. The prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil shows steep class and ethnic gradients, with lowest risks among white, educated and wealthy individuals.
