Evaluation of the prevalence of stress and its phases in acute myocardial infar...
Lucinda,Luciane Boreki; Prosdócimo,Ana Claudia Merchan Giaxa; Carvalho,Katherine Athayde Teixeira de; Francisco,Julio Cesar; Baena,Cristina PellegrinoIntroduction: Acute myocardial infarction is a social health problem of epidemiological relevance, with high levels of morbidity and mortality. Stress is one of the modifiable risk factors that triggers acute myocardial infarction. Stress is a result of a set of physiological reactions, which when exaggerated in intensity or duration can lead to imbalances in one's organism, resulting in vulnerability to diseas...
Multilevel analysis of self-perception in oral health and associated factors in...
Gabardo,Marilisa Carneiro Leão; Moysés,Samuel Jorge; Moysés,Simone Tetu; Olandoski,Marcia; Olinto,Maria Teresa Anselmo; Pattussi,Marcos PascoalThe aim of this study was to evaluate the association between individual and contextual variables related to self-perception in oral health among residents in the municipality of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The cross-sectional design involved 1,100 adults in 38 census tracts. The self-perception was evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) tool. A logistic multilevel analysis ...
