Nos últimos anos, a magnitude dos benefícios do rastreamento mamográfico vem sendo questionada em função dos vieses detectados nos ensaios clínicos que popularizaram a disseminação dessa prática. Paralelamente, o crescente corpo de evidências sobre danos associados ao rastreamento mamográfico também demandava...

Study population was composed of men and women aged 18 to 60 years resident...
The Oral Health Impact Profile-14:: a unidimensional scale?
Santos,Camila Mello dos; Oliveira,Branca Heloisa de; Nadanovsky,Paulo; Hilgert,Juliana Balbinot; Celeste,Roger Keller; Hugo,Fernando NevesThe aim of this study was to investigate the dimensional structure of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14: (OHIP-14). Data was obtained from studies carried out in Rio de Janeiro (N = 504) and Carlos Barbosa (N = 872), in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to identify the latent dimensions of the OHIP-14. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out of bo...

Celeste,Roger Keller; Fritzell,Johan; Nadanovsky,PauloThe objective of this study was to evaluate the association between income inequality at a lagged time of 2 and 11 years with two short latency outcomes (untreated dental caries and gingivitis) and two long latency outcomes (edentulism and periodontal attachment loss > 8mm). We used data from the Brazilian oral health survey in 2002-2003. Our analysis included 13,405 subjects aged 35-44 years. Different lagged ...
