ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between vitamin D and the cognitive decline of older adults and evaluate whether this association is mediated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) serum concentration. METHODS Cross-sectional study nested in a population-based cohort. Of the 604 participants in the complementary examination of the EpiFloripa Study, 576 older adults (60 years or older) were eligible for the study. The outcome is cognitive decline evaluated by the Mini-Mental State Examination, the exposure is vitamin D, and BDNF is the mediator. The control variables are age, sex, per capita family income, and educational level. The direct effect of vitamin D and BDNF on cognitive decline and the indirect effect mediated by BDNF was evaluated using path analysis, with the estimation of standardized coefficients. RESULTS Among the participants, we observed a direct and positive effect of vitamin D on cognitive function (Coef: 0.06; 95%CI: 0.02 to 0.11; p < 0.001) and serum BDNF concentration (Coef: 21.55; 95%CI: 9.92 to 33.17; p = 0.002), i.e., the higher the vitamin D, the higher the cognitive function and serum level of BDNF. CONCLUSION There was an association between vitamin D on serum BDNF and on cognitive decline in older adults. Moreover, BDNF did not have an effect on cognitive decline, so BDNF was not a mediator of the vitamin D effect on cognitive decline.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Estimar os anos de vida perdidos pela população brasileira devido ao câncer de boca e faringe de 1979 a 2013 e analisar a tendências temporais no período estudado, segundo região do país, sexo e sítio anatômico. MÉTODOS Os registros de óbitos foram obtidos do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade e os dados referentes à população, dos censos do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística de 1980, 1991, 2000, 2010 e de estimativas intercensitárias para os demais anos. Foram calculadas as taxas de anos de vida potencialmente perdidos aplicando o método sugerido por Romeder e McWhinnie, e suas tendências foram calculadas usando o método de Prais-Winsten com correção para autocorrelação de primeira ordem. As séries históricas foram alisadas com técnica de média móvel central de ordem 3 para redução de ruído branco. RESULTADOS No período de 1979 a 2013 no Brasil, houve um total de 107.506 mortes prematuras devido ao câncer de boca e faringe, o que gerou um total de 1.589.501 anos potenciais de vida perdidos, equivalendo a uma taxa de 3,6 por 10.000 habitantes. O sexo masculino, com uma taxa seis vezes maior que a do sexo feminino, contribuiu com 85% dos anos perdidos. As tendências das taxas de anos de vida perdidos mostraram aumento anual de 0,72% nos homens, 1,13% nas mulheres e 1,05% para o câncer de faringe. CONCLUSÕES A taxa de anos potenciais de vida perdidos por câncer de boca e faringe no país mostrou tendência de aumento dentro do período estudado em ambos os sexos, assim como para o câncer de faringe e para as regiões Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate the years of life lost by the Brazilian population due to mouth and pharynx cancer from 1979 to 2013, and analyze the temporal trends in the studied period, according to the country’s region, sex and anatomical site. METHODS The death records were obtained from the Mortality Information System and the data referring to the population, from the censuses of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics of 1980, 1991, 2000, 2010, and from intercensal estimates for the other years. The rates of potential years of life lost were calculated by applying the method suggested by Romeder and McWhinnie, and their trends were calculated using the Prais-Winsten method with first-order autocorrelation. The historical series were smoothed with the centered moving average technique of third order for white noise reduction. RESULTS In the period from 1979 to 2013 in Brazil, there were a total of 107,506 premature deaths due to mouth and pharynx cancer, which generated a total of 1,589,501 potential years of life lost, the equivalent to a rate of 3.6 per 10,000 inhabitants. Males, whose rate was six times higher than for females, contributed with 85% of the years lost. The trends in the rates of years of life lost showed an annual 0.72% increase for men, 1.13% for women and 1.05% for pharynx cancer. CONCLUSIONS The rate of potential years of life lost due to mouth and pharynx cancer in the country showed an upward trend within the studied period for both sexes, as well as for pharynx cancer and for the North, Northeast and Midwest regions.

Abstract The present study aimed at understanding the relationship between periodontitis and socio-contextual and individual determinants of health. Data from “The First Uruguayan Oral Health Survey, 2011”, which included 223 and 455 individuals with 35–44 and 65–74 years old respectively, were used. A stratified, multistage cluster sampling design was adopted (cities with ≥ 20.000 residents). Periodontitis was assessed using the modified Community Periodontal Index (CPI) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) (periodontal pocket and CAL ≥ 4 mm). Independent variables included contextual socioeconomic status (SES) measured by proportion of houses with Unsatisfied Basic Needs (UBN) and individual demographic and behavioral factors. Logistic regression multilevel models were generated. Living in contexts with a higher UBN was associated with higher odds for periodontitis in both age groups, even when adjusting for individual level variables (odds ratio [OR] = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.42–1.60 and 1.31, 95%CI = 1.21–1.42, respectively). Being male or heavy smoker increased the odds of periodontitis in this population for both age groups. Social structure impacts periodontal disease by modifying individual socioeconomic situations: in better socioeconomic context, UBN acts increasing the protector role of socioeconomic situation but in a poverty context the role is attenuated. Conclusions for this study are that periodontitis varies across contextual socio-demographic groups being higher in the population with a lower SES, challenging health authorities to integrate oral health into national non-communicable diseases programs.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Analisar a tendência das taxas de mortalidade por câncer de boca e de faringe no período de 2002–2013 no Brasil segundo sexo, sítio anatômico e macrorregião do país. MÉTODOS Os dados sobre mortalidade foram obtidos junto ao Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade e os dados das populações foram obtidos junto ao Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. A tendência das taxas padronizadas por sexo e faixa etária foi calculada por regressão de Prais-Winstein, obtendo a sua variação percentual anual e os respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%, analisados segundo sexo, macrorregião e sítio anatômico. RESULTADOS O coeficiente médio de mortalidade por câncer de boca foi de 1,87/100.000 habitantes e permaneceu estável durante o período estudado. O coeficiente de mortalidade por câncer de faringe foi de 2,04/100.000 habitantes e apresentou variação percentual anual de -2,6%. Aproximadamente oito em cada 10 óbitos ocorreram entre homens. Observou-se aumento nas taxas por câncer de boca na região Nordeste (variação percentual anual de 6,9%) e diminuição na região Sudeste (variação percentual anual -2,9%). Mortalidade por câncer de faringe diminuiu nas regiões Sudeste e Sul com variação percentual anual de -4,8% e -5,1% respectivamente. Mortalidade por câncer de amígdala, outras glândulas salivares maiores, hipofaringe e outras partes não especificas de boca e faringe, apresentaram tendência de declínio enquanto os demais sítios apresentaram estabilidade. CONCLUSÕES A mortalidade por câncer de faringe apresentou diminuição no período 2002–2013. O câncer de boca apresentou aumento só na região Nordeste. Mortalidade por câncer de amígdala, outras glândulas maiores, hipofaringe e outras localizações mal definidas de lábio, cavidade oral e faringe mostraram declínio.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the trend of oral and pharyngeal cancer mortality rates in the period of 2002 to 2013 in Brazil according to sex, anatomical site, and macroregion of the country. METHODS The mortality data were obtained from the Mortality Information System and the population data were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The trend of the rates standardized by sex and age was calculated using the Prais-Winsten estimation, and we obtained the annual percentage change and the respective 95% confidence intervals, analyzed according to sex, macroregion, and anatomical site. RESULTS The average coefficient of oral cancer mortality was 1.87 per 100,000 inhabitants and it remained stable during the study period. The coefficient of pharyngeal cancer mortality was 2.04 per 100,000 inhabitants and it presented an annual percentage change of -2.6%. Approximately eight in every 10 deaths occurred among men. There was an increase in the rates of oral cancer in the Northeast region (annual percentage change of 6.9%) and a decrease in the Southeast region (annual percentage change of -2.9%). Pharyngeal cancer mortality decreased in the Southeast and South regions with annual percentage change of -4.8% and -5.1% respectively. Cancer mortality for tonsil, other major salivary glands, hypopharynx, and other and unspecified parts of mouth and pharynx showed a decreasing trend while the other sites presented stability. CONCLUSIONS Pharyngeal cancer mortality decreased in the period of 2002 to 2013. Oral cancer increased only in the Northeast region. Mortality for tonsil cancer, other major salivary glands, hypopharynx, and other and ill-defined sites in the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx decreased.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Investigar a polifarmácia em idosos residentes na área urbana de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil, estimando a prevalência e os fatores a ela associados. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base populacional em uma amostra de 1.705 idosos, entre 2009 e 2010. A variável dependente foi polifarmácia (definida como “uso de cinco ou mais medicamentos”). Utilizaram-se variáveis sociodemográficas, uso de serviços de saúde e autoavaliação de saúde como exploratórias. Foram estimadas razões de prevalência (RP) por meio de análise multivariada utilizando-se da regressão de Poisson. Resultados: A média do uso de medicamentos por idosos foi de 3,8 (variando entre 0 e 28). A prevalência de polifarmácia foi de 32%, com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%) 29,8 - 34,3. As características que apresentaram associação positiva com polifarmácia foram: sexo feminino (RP = 1,27; IC95% 1,03 - 1,57), aumento da idade (RP = 1,38; IC95% 1,08 - 1,77), autoavaliação de saúde negativa (RP = 1,99; IC95% 1,59 - 2,48) e realização de consulta médica nos últimos 3 meses anteriores à entrevista (RP = 1,89; IC95% 1,53 - 2,32). Os grupos de medicamentos mais utilizados pelos idosos na polifarmácia foram os indicados para o sistema cardiovascular, trato alimentar e metabolismo e sistema nervoso. Conclusão: O padrão de uso de medicamentos por idosos está dentro da média nacional. A prevalência de polifarmácia e as características a ela associadas foram semelhantes aos achados em outras regiões do Brasil.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate polypharmacy among the elderly living in the urban area of Florianopolis, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, estimating the prevalence and associated factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study with a sample of 1,705 individuals aged 60 years old or older, between 2009 and 2010. The dependent variable was polypharmacy (defined as “use of five or more medications”). The following exploratory variables were utilized: sociodemographic data, use of health services and self-rated health status. Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated by multivariate analysis using the Poisson regression. Results: The mean for the medications used by the elderly population was 3.8 (ranging from 0 to 28). The prevalence of polypharmacy was 32%, with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 29.8 - 34.3. The characteristics presenting a positive association with polypharmacy were: female gender (PR = 1.27; 95%CI 1.03 - 1.57), increasing age (PR = 1.38; 95% CI 1.08 - 1.77), negative self-rated health status (PR = 1.99; 95% CI 1.59 - 2.48) and medical appointments in the 3 months prior to the interview (PR = 1.89; 95% CI 1.53 - 2.32). The groups of medication most utilized by the elderly individuals in polypharmacy were those indicated for the cardiovascular system, digestive tract and metabolism, as well as the nervous system. Conclusion: The pattern of medication use among this elderly population is within the national average. The prevalence of polypharmacy and the characteristics associated with it were similar to those found in other regions of Brazil.

RESUMO: Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a prevalência e os fatores associados com Transtornos Mentais Comuns (TMC) entre adultos de Florianópolis, Sul do Brasil. Métodos: Estudo de base populacional conduzido com 1.720 adultos de 20 a 59 anos. Os TMC foram investigados pelo Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). As variáveis independentes foram as demográficas, socioeconômicas, comportamentos relacionados com a saúde, condições de saúde e uso de serviços de saúde. A regressão multivariável de Poisson foi empregada para a estimativa de razões de prevalência e IC95%. Resultados: A prevalência de TMC foi de 14,7%, sendo as maiores prevalências nas mulheres, nas pessoas de cor da pele preta, com baixo nível educacional, pobres, divorciados, inativos durante o lazer, fumantes pesados, pessoas com doenças crônicas, com percepção negative de saúde, que tiveram consultas médicas e foram internados nos últimos 12 meses. Conclusão: Os subgrupos populacionais mais vulneráveis aos TMC foram aqueles mais vulneráveis às iniquidades sociais e com piores condições relacionadas aos indicadores de saúde.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with Common Mental Disorders (CMD) in adults in a capital city in Southern Brazil. Methods: Population-based survey conducted on 1,720 adults aged 20 - 59 years from Florianópolis, Southern Brazil. The CMD were investigated through the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). The independent variables were demographic, socioeconomic, health-related behaviors, health conditions and use of health services. Multivariable Poisson regression was used for the estimation of prevalence ratios (PR) and 95%CI. Results: The prevalence of CMD was 14.7%. Adjusted analyses showed that the prevalence was higher among women, those self-reported as blacks, with lower educational level, poor, divorced/separated/widowed, inactive in leisure time, heavy smokers, people with chronic diseases, those who reported negative health self-rating, those who had medical appointments and who were hospitalized before the interview. Conclusion: CMD is relatively high among population subgroups most vulnerable to social inequalities and with worse conditions related to health indicators.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi identificar características do ambiente físico e social percebido associadas à atividade física no lazer (AFL) e deslocamento (AFD) em homens e mulheres. Amostra sistemética de 746 pessoas residentes em Florianópolis/SC obtida por lista telefônica. Utilizou-se o questionário internacional de atividade física [IPAQ) versão longa e o questionário da escala de mobilidade ativa no ambiente comunitário “news” adaptado. Os desfechos investigados foram: não atender as recomendações em relação à atividade física (NARAF) nas AFL e AFD em homens e mulheres. Como variáveis exploratórias foram investigadas as caracteristícas das variáveis sócio-demográficas, percepção do ambiente, saúde gerai e índice de massa corporal. Foi realizada análise de regressão logística para estimar as razões de chance bruta e ajustada dos atributos do ambiente físico e apoio social das pessoas que NARAF. Ataxa de resposta foi de 91% (n = 746). A prevalência de mulheres que NARAF no deslocamento foi de 73,3% (69,1-77,5%) e a de homens de 71,1% (66,1-76,2%). Nas AFL a prevalência de mulheres que NARAF foi de 78,4% (74,5-78,3%) e a de homens de 74,9% (70,1-79,7%). Nas AFD os atributos do ambiente associados a menos chance de NARAF foram: morar em área próxima ao comércio; academia e agênda bancária próximo de casa. Nas AFL, ruas iluminadas, segurança durante o dia, local para caminhar próximo de casa e morar próximo à orla marítima. Programas de promoção de AFL em adultos devem considerar variáveis do ambiente urbano (ruas iluminadas, segurança, local para caminhar ou praticar atividade física e a atratividade dos locais). Para promover as AFD devem ser consideradas as estruturas públicas e privadas (proximidade dos centros de compra, academias, agêndas bancárias e atratividade dos locais).

Abstract The aim of the study was to identify characteristics of the perceived physical environment and social support associated with physical activity during leisure (LFA), and transportation (TFA) in man and women. The study was based on a systematic sample of 746 residents in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil, obtained by phonebook. We utilized the long version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the scale of active mobility in the community environment (news adapted). The outcomes investigated were not meeting the recommendations for physical activity (NARAF) in LFA and TFA in man and women. As explanatory variables we investigated the characteristics of socio-demographic variables, perception of the environment, general health, and body mass index (IMC). We performed logistic regression analysis to estimate the odds ratios and the adjusted attributes of the physical environment and social support of man and women that NARAF. The response rate was 91% (n = 746). The prevalence of women in NARAF in transportation was 73.3% (69.1-77.5%) and for men was 71.1% (66.1 to 76.2%). In the LFA NARAF prevalence of women was 78.4% (74.5-78.3%) and 74.9% (70.1-79.7%) in men. In TFA environmental attributes associated with less chance of NARAF were: live in an area close to shopping areas, gym and bank branch close to home. In the LFA, street lighting, security during the day, walking site close to home and live near the coastline. Programs to promote AFL in adults should consider variables of the urban environment (lit streets, safety, local walking or physical activity and attractiveness of locations). To promote the TFA should be considered public and private structures (proximity to shopping areas, gyms, banks and attractiveness of locations).

Abstract Population-based studies assessing self-reported periodontal questions in low-income countries are lacking, and therefore we aimed to assess the accuracy of self-reported periodontal items in Brazil. One thousand one hundred and forty adults from Florianópolis, Brazil, had their periodontium clinically examined, and responded to the following self-reported items on periodontal conditions: Question (Q)1, Do you have any wobbly teeth?; Q2, Do your gums usually bleed?; and Q3, Has your dentist ever told you that you have gum disease? Periodontitis was defined as: a. ≥ 6.0 mm periodontal pocket and ≥ 4.0 mm clinical attachment loss in the same tooth, in at least one tooth (PD1); or b. ≥ 6.0 mm periodontal pocket and ≥ 4.0 mm clinical attachment loss, not necessarily in the same tooth (PD2). Sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) were calculated, and analyses were stratified by socioeconomic status and time since last dental visit. Scores were generated in order to determine the accuracy of the whole set of items. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted. Prevalence of clinically diagnosed periodontitis was 2.6% (95%CI = 1.7–4.0%) for PD1 and 3.8% (95%CI = 2.7–5.3%) for PD2. Prevalence of self-reported periodontitis varied between 2.7 (Q2) and 22.0% (Q3). SN and SP ranged between 0.0–60.0% and 73.3–98.6%, respectively; Q1 showed the highest accuracy (140.8%) followed by Q3 (140.0%). The combined score of the three self-reported items did not improve accuracy estimates; the areas under the ROC curves were 0.70 and 0.68 for PD1 and PD2, respectively. The accuracy of self-reported items was low, and further studies are needed in order to develop valid and reliable periodontitis screening questions for population-based studies.

RESUMO Este estudo descreve a produção científica sobre saúde bucal veiculada na Revista de Saúde Pública, nos cinquenta anos de sua publicação. Foi realizado estudo de revisão narrativa, utilizando o PubMed como mecanismo de busca que indexa todos os fascículos da revista. De 1967 a 2015, foram publicados 162 manuscritos com foco específico em temas de saúde bucal. Essa temática esteve presente em todos os volumes da revista, com participação crescente ao longo dos anos. Cárie dentária foi o tema mais estudado, marcando presença constante na revista desde seu primeiro fascículo. Doença periodontal, fluorose, oclusopatias e outros temas emergiram antes mesmo do declínio dos indicadores de cárie. Políticas de saúde bucal é o tema mais recorrente nas duas últimas décadas. A Revista de Saúde Pública tem sido importante veículo de divulgação, comunicação e reflexão sobre saúde bucal, contribuindo de modo relevante para a interação técnico-científica entre os profissionais da área.

ABSTRACT This study describes the scientific production on oral health diffused in Revista de Saúde Pública, in the 50 years of its publication. A narrative review study was carried out using PubMed, as it is the search database that indexes all issues of the journal. From 1967 to 2015, 162 manuscripts specifically focused on oral health themes were published. This theme was present in all volumes of the journal, with increasing participation over the years. Dental caries was the most studied theme, constantly present in the journal since its first issue. Periodontal disease, fluorosis, malocclusions, and other themes emerged even before the decline of dental caries indicators. Oral health policy is the most recurring theme in the last two decades. Revista de Saúde Pública has been an important vehicle for dissemination, communication, and reflection on oral health, contributing in a relevant way to the technical-scientific interaction between professionals in this field.
