ArboAlvo: stratification method for territorial receptivity to urban arboviruses
Siqueira,Alexandre San Pedro; Praça,Heitor Levy Ferreira; Santos,Jefferson Pereira Caldas dos; Albuquerque,Hermano Gomes; Pereira,Leandro VougaABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To present the urban arboviruses (dengue, zika and chikungunya) stratification methodology by the territorial receptivity Index, an instrument for the surveillance and control of these diseases, which considers the heterogeneity of an intra-municipal territory. METHODS Ecological study that uses as unit of analysis the areas covered by health centers in Belo Horizonte. For the development of ...
Definition of persistent areas with increased dengue risk by detecting clusters...
Santos,Jefferson Pereira Caldas dos; Honório,Nildimar Alves; Nobre,Aline AraújoDengue is a re-emerging arbovirus infection of major epidemiological importance. The detection of dengue clusters is an important epidemiological surveillance strategy, contributing to better allocation of control measures and prioritizing areas that are subject to increased risk of transmission. Studies involving human populations with low mobility are scarce, and the current study thus aims to investigate the...
Association between perceived racial discrimination and hypertension: findings ...
Mendes,Patrícia Miranda; Nobre,Aline Araújo; Griep,Rosane Härter; Guimarães,Joanna Miguez Nery; Juvanhol,Leidjaira Lopes; Barreto,Sandhi Maria“Pardos” and blacks in Brazil and blacks in the USA are at greater risk of developing arterial hypertension than whites, and the causes of this inequality are still little understood. Psychosocial and contextual factors, including racial discrimination, are indicated as conditions associated with this inequality. The aim of this study was to identify the association between perceived racial discrimination and h...
Multinomial model and zero-inflated gamma model to study time spent on leisure ...
Nobre,Aline Araújo; Carvalho,Marilia Sá; Griep,Rosane Härter; Fonseca,Maria de Jesus Mendes da; Melo,Enirtes Caetano Prates; Santos,Itamar de SouzaABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To compare two methodological approaches: the multinomial model and the zero-inflated gamma model, evaluating the factors associated with the practice and amount of time spent on leisure time physical activity. METHODS Data collected from 14,823 baseline participants in the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil – Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto ) have been analysed. Regular l...
Temporal analysis of the relationship between dengue and meteorological variabl...
Gomes,Adriana Fagundes; Nobre,Aline Araújo; Cruz,Oswaldo GonçalvesDengue, a reemerging disease, is one of the most important viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. Climate is considered an important factor in the temporal and spatial distribution of vector-transmitted diseases. This study examined the effect of seasonal factors and the relationship between climatic variables and dengue risk in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 2001 to 2009. Generalized linear models...
