Hirschmann,Roberta; Bortolotto,Caroline Cardozo; Martins-Silva,Thais; Machado,Adriana Kramer Fiala; Xavier,Mariana Otero; Fernandes,Mayra PachecoRESUMO: Objetivos: Descrever a ocorrência simultânea de fatores de risco para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e os fatores associados à simultaneidade dessas prevalências em adultos residentes na zona rural de um município no sul do Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal com 1.445 adultos da zona rural de Pelotas, RS. Foram considerados quatro fatores de risco: tabagismo, consumo de álcool, inativi...
Prevalências de obesidade em zonas rurais e urbanas no Brasil: Pesquisa Naciona...
Martins-Silva,Thais; Vaz,Juliana dos Santos; Mola,Christian Loret de; Assunção,Maria Cecília Formoso; Tovo-Rodrigues,LucianaRESUMO: Objetivo: Investigar o papel da situação de domicílio na prevalência de obesidade geral e abdominal, usando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013. Metodologia: As prevalências de obesidade geral e abdominal, em zonas rural e urbana, foram descritas de acordo com o sexo e a macrorregião do país. A associação entre situação de domicílio e obesidade foi testada por regressão de Poisson bruta e ajusta...
Quality of life in adults from a rural area in Southern Brazil: a population-ba...
Bortolotto,Caroline Cardozo; Mola,Christian Loret de; Tovo-Rodrigues,LucianaABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the quality of life and its determinants in a population living in a rural area. METHODS This is a population-based, cross-sectional study with individuals aged 18 years or over from the rural area of Pelotas, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We evaluated quality of life using the WHOQOL-BREF, which has four domains (physical, psychological, social relations, and environment) an...
General and abdominal obesity in adults living in a rural area in Southern Brazil
Martins-Silva,Thais; Mola,Christian Loret de; Vaz,Juliana dos Santos; Tovo-Rodrigues,LucianaABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity and the concomitant presence of both outcomes and their determinants among adults living in a rural area. METHODS This cross-sectional, population-based study was carried out in a medium-sized city in the southern region of Brazil. We evaluated three outcomes: general obesity (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ), abdominal obesity (waist c...
Population-based study in a rural area: methodology and challenges
Gonçalves,Helen; Tomasi,Elaine; Tovo-Rodrigues,Luciana; Bielemann,Renata Moraes; Machado,Adriana Kramer Fiala; Ruivo,Ana Carolina OliveiraABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To describe the planning, sampling, operational aspects of the field, and the sample obtained during a research conducted in a rural area, specifying and discussing the main logistical difficulties unique to these places and the solutions adopted. METHODS We carried out a population-based, cross-sectional survey between January and June 2016, with a representative sample of the population age...
FOXP in Tetrapoda: Intrinsically Disordered Regions, Short Linear Motifs and th...
Viscardi,Lucas Henriques; Tovo-Rodrigues,Luciana; Paré,Pamela; Fagundes,Nelson Jurandi Rosa; Salzano,Francisco Mauro; Paixão-Côrtes,Vanessa RodriguesAbstract The FOXP subfamily is probably the most extensively characterized subfamily of the forkhead superfamily, playing important roles in development and homeostasis in vertebrates. Intrinsically disorder protein regions (IDRs) are protein segments that exhibit multiple physical interactions and play critical roles in various biological processes, including regulation and signaling. IDRs in proteins may play...
Oxytocin and arginine vasopressin receptor evolution: implications for adaptive...
Paré,Pamela; Paixão-Côrtes,Vanessa R.; Tovo-Rodrigues,Luciana; Vargas-Pinilla,Pedro; Viscardi,Lucas Henriques; Salzano,Francisco Mauro; Henkes,Luiz E.Abstract Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and arginine vasopressin receptors (AVPR1a, AVPR1b, and AVPR2) are paralogous genes that emerged through duplication events; along the evolutionary timeline, owing to speciation, numerous orthologues emerged as well. In order to elucidate the evolutionary forces that shaped these four genes in placental mammals and to reveal specific aspects of their protein structures, 35 spec...
High interpopulation homogeneity in Central Argentina as assessed by Ancestry I...
García,Angelina; Dermarchi,Darío A.; Tovo-Rodrigues,Luciana; Pauro,Maia; Callegari-Jacques,Sidia M.; Salzano,Francisco M.; Hutz,Mara H.The population of Argentina has already been studied with regard to several genetic markers, but much more data are needed for the appropriate definition of its genetic profile. This study aimed at investigating the admixture patterns and genetic structure in Central Argentina, using biparental markers and comparing the results with those previously obtained by us with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the same samp...
