Benseñor,Isabela M.; Janovsky,Carolina Castro Porto Silva; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos,Itamar de Souza; Diniz,Maria de Fátima Haueisen SanderABSTRACT Objective: Although some previous data have suggested a high iodine intake in Brazil, the prevalence of antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in the country is compatible with rates from countries with adequate iodine intake. This observation emphasizes the importance of knowing the incidence of TPOAb in Brazil. Materials and methods: This prospective analysis included euthyroid participants with nega...
Longitudinal measurement invariance of neuropsychological tests in a diverse sa...
Bertola,Laiss; Benseñor,Isabela M.; Gross,Alden L.; Caramelli,Paulo; Barreto,Sandhi Maria; Moreno,Arlinda B.; Griep,Rosane H.; Viana,Maria CarmenObjective: Longitudinal measurement invariance analyses are an important way to assess a test’s ability to estimate the underlying construct over time, ensuring that cognitive scores across visits represent a similar underlying construct, and that changes in test performance are attributable to individual change in cognitive abilities. We aimed to evaluate longitudinal measurement invariance in a large, social ...

Brunoni,Andre R.; Carracedo,Angel; Amigo,Olalla M.; Pellicer,Ana L.; Talib,Leda; Carvalho,Andre F.; Lotufo,Paulo A.; Benseñor,Isabela M.; Gattaz,WagnerObjective: We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with neuroplasticity and activity of monoamine neurotransmitters, such as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, rs6265), the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4, rs25531), the tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1, rs1800532), the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A, rs6311, rs6313, rs7997012), and the catechol-O-methyltransferase...
Prevalence of antithyroperoxidase antibodies in a multiethnic Brazilian populat...
Janovsky,Carolina Castro Porto Silva; Bittencourt,Marcio Sommer; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos,Itamar S.; Almeida-Pititto,Bianca; Lotufo,Paulo A.ABSTRACT Objective In this study, we aimed to describe the prevalence and distribution of positive antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) according to sex, age strata, and presence of thyroid dysfunction using baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Materials and methods Thyroid hormone tests were obtained from each study participant at baseline. Levels of thyroid-stim...

Cardoso,Letícia de Oliveira; Carvalho,Marilia Sá; Cruz,Oswaldo Gonçalves; Melere,Cristiane; Luft,Vivian Cristine; Molina,Maria del Carmen BisiAbstract: The food consumption of 15,071 public employees was analyzed in six Brazilian cities participating in the baseline for Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil, 2008-2010) with the aim of identifying eating patterns and their relationship to socio-demographic variables. Multiple correspondence and cluster analysis were applied. Four patterns were identified, with their respective freq...

Educational levels and the functional dependence of ischemic stroke survivors
Fernandes,Tiótrefis G.; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos-Junior,Waldyr R.; Alencar,Airlane P.; Benseñor,Isabela M.; Lotufo,Paulo A.We evaluated the functional dependence of stroke survivors from the Study of Stroke Mortality and Morbidity, using the Rankin Scale. Out of 355 ischemic stroke survivors (with a mean age of 67.9 years), 40% had some functional dependence at 28 days and 34.4% had some functional dependence at 6 months. Most predictors of physical dependence were identified at 28 days. These predictors were: low levels of educati...
