Abstract To plan and evaluate public health policies, it is important to understand the influence of social factors on the quality and access to dental care. This study aimed to verify the potential association between the indicators of pregnant women receiving dental care and the social and health care indicators of cities in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. A cross-sectional ecological study was performed with secondary data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and the Health Care Department of the Ministry of Health regarding the cities of Minas Gerais. The study analyzed three health care indicators (such as more than six prenatal, the proportion of syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus tests, and oral health coverage) and four social indicators (average monthly wage, illiteracy rate, proportion of employed population, and rate of adequate sanitary sewerage). Bivariate analysis (Mann-Whitney test) and logistic regression were performed using Jamovi software. All of the indicators analyzed were associated with the access of pregnant women to dental care. However, in the regression models, only health care indicators remained statistically significant. Thus, although social indicators are associated with the access of pregnant women to dental appointments, access to primary health care and the teamwork of primary health care teams may overcome social inequality in the access of pregnant women to dental care. policies Gerais crosssectional cross sectional such prenatal tests coverage average wage population sewerage. sewerage . sewerage) MannWhitney Mann Whitney test software However models significant Thus appointments

Abstract This study explores the senses and meanings attributed to dental work in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) focusing on dentist-patient relations. A qualitative research was conducted with 20 dentists working in a medium-sized municipality in São Paulo, divided into three focus groups and asked the guiding question “What sense or meaning do you attribute to your work here in the city?” Data were audio-recorded, fully transcribed, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Floating reading, categorization, and peer discussion of the findings were performed for the final validation, resulting in two categories: 1) Strangeness to patients’ needs and the subsequent medicalization of life, and 2) Power and consumption as meanings of practice. In this context, the dental practices showed the differences between patients’ needs and those considered relevant by dentists. It also showed the power imbalance between patients and professionals as a hindrance to patients’ autonomy. Such meanings seem to cause suffering to these professionals. In conclusion, reflections on health work are paramount to avoid suffering and understand that the practice of these dentists bears many senses and meanings.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the quality of life of nursing undergraduate students and factors associated with socioeconomic variables and internship field. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an educational institution located in the northern region of the state of Ceará, Brazil, involving 309 nursing undergraduates from the 1st to the 10th semester. The WHOQOL-bref instrument was used to evaluate the quality of life. Each domain and total score of the instrument were considered as outcome variables. Results: 69.3% of the individuals were women, the mean age of the sample was 28 years, and 67.7% defined their quality of life as “good” or “very good.” Undergraduates who consumed well water and those with lower income had a higher chance of presenting lower scores in the physical domain and environmental domain of quality of life, respectively (p < 0.05), and of having a lower total quality of life score. Conclusion: The students considered their quality of life to be good/very good, and sociodemographic factors influenced the lower quality of life score.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate associations of health literacy (HL), general self-efficacy (GSE), and sociodemographic variables with non-adherence to dental treatment among Brazilian young adults. This is a cross-sectional study based on a cohort study of 248 young adults aged 19 to 25 years followed up in an earlier study. The participants completed the perceived general self-efficacy scale (GSE), a questionnaire on socioeconomic and demographic variables and were examined for oral conditions. HL was measured using the Brazilian version of the health literacy questionnaire (HLQ-Br), which provides nine individual scores based on an average of the items within each of the nine scales. Dental treatment adherence was evaluated as the decision of young adults to seek a dentist to finish the recommended restorative treatment for dental caries. The effects of HL domains on the adherence to dental treatment were analyzed by logistic regression and the effect was adjusted for sex, age, family income, paternal and maternal education, type of housing, and self-efficacy. The results of the adjusted analysis showed associations among young adults who did not adhere to dental treatment with lower self-efficacy levels, living in non-owner-occupied homes, and lower HL levels in almost all of the HL domains (p < 0.05). Only the HLQ6 domain “Ability to actively engage with healthcare providers” was not associated with the outcome (p>0.05). Adherence to dental treatment in primary care among young adults was associated with their general self-efficacy levels, socioeconomic characteristics, and individual's lower HL aspects.

Resumo Objetivos: analisar a prevalência do consumo de açúcar e fatores associados em consultas de puericultura. Métodos: estudo transversal com 599 crianças >seis a <24 meses de idade, assistidas por Unidades de Saúde da Família. Desfechos: consumo diário de bebidas adoçadas, doces/guloseimas, registrados no Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional; variáveis independentes: dados sociodemográficos. Aplicou-se teste de regressão logística múltipla. Resultados: 62,10% das crianças consomem bebidas açucaradas e 42,23% doces/guloseimas. Consumir bebidas açucaradas associou-se à idade de 12-17 meses e 29 dias (OR=2,525; IC95%=1,68-3,78) e 18-17 meses e 29 dias (OR=2,90; IC95%=1,90-4,43); crianças residirem com mais de quatro pessoas na casa (OR=1,59; IC95%:1,11-2,26), terem idade de 12-17 meses e 29 dias (OR=2,05; IC95%=1,34-3,13) e 18-23 meses e 29 dias (OR=2,51; IC95%=1,62-3,87) apresentaram maior chance de consumir doces/guloseimas que crianças mais novas. Aspectos maternos como idade (OR=0,66; IC95%=0,46-0,93), estado civil (OR=1,67; IC95%=1,06-2,6), escolaridade (OR=2,14; IC95%=1,12-4,08), e presença de auxílio do governo (OR=2,03;IC95%=1,41-2,93), foram condições associadas ao consumo de doces/guloseimas. Conclusão: foi alta a prevalência de açúcar na dieta das crianças e esteve associada a aspectos sociodemográficos. Ações de educação em saúde devem ser realizadas na puericultura, a fim de fomentar a alimentação saudável, minimizando o consumo de açúcar.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the prevalence of sugar consumption and associated factors in childcare consultations. Methods: cross-sectional study with 599 children > six months to < 24 months of age, assisted by the Family Health Units. Outcomes: daily consumption of sweetened beverages, sweets/candies, recorded in the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System; independent variables: sociodemographic data. Multiple logistic regression test was applied. Results: 62.10% of the children consume sugary drinks and 42.23%, sweets/candies. Consuming sugary drinks was associated with the age of 12-17 months and 29 days (OR=2.525; CI95%=1.68-3.78) and 18-17 months and 29 days (OR=2.90; CI95%=1.90-4.43); children living with more than four people at home (OR=1.59; CI95%=1.11-2.26), aged 12-17 months and 29 days (OR=2.05; CI95%=1.34-3.13) and 18-23 months and 29 days (OR=2.51; CI95%=1.62-3.87) were more likely to consume sweets/candies than younger children. Maternal aspects, such as age (OR=0.66; CI95%=0.46-0.93), marital status (OR=1.67; CI95%=1.06-2.6), schooling (OR=2.14; CI95%=1.12-4.08), and presence of government assistance (OR=2.03; CI95%=1.41-2.93), were conditions associated with the consumption of sweets. Conclusions: the prevalence of sugar in children’s diet was high and was associated with sociodemographic aspects. Health education actions should be carried out in childcare, in order to promote healthy food, minimizing the consumption of sugar.

Resumo Objetivo: Realizar revisão sistemática das evidências de economia da saúde no cuidado de crianças e adolescentes com condições clínicas complexas, comparando no fim de vida o grupo inserido em cuidados paliativos com o grupo não inserido (grupo controle). Fontes de dados: As sete bases de dados pesquisadas foram PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde-Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (BVS-LILACS), EBSCOhost e Paediatric Economic Database Evaluation, seguindo as recomendações do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement, de janeiro/1979 a novembro/2020. A revisão incluiu estudos com pacientes com condições clínicas complexas, idade inferior a 18 anos, comparativos de um grupo inserido em cuidados paliativos com um grupo controle não inserido em cuidados paliativos. Os desfechos econômicos analisados foram tempo e local de permanência no fim de vida (casa, hospice, enfermaria, unidade de terapia intensiva, pronto-socorro), procedimentos diagnósticos e terapêuticos realizados e custos relacionados aos cuidados de saúde. Os critérios de exclusão foram: estudos sem grupo controle pareados, resumos de conferências/congressos, cartas ao editor, editoriais, comentários, estudos qualitativos, revisões narrativas, estudos com dez ou menos participantes, artigos publicados em outras línguas além de inglês, português e espanhol. Síntese dos dados: Do total de 518 artigos identificados, quatro preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Houve evidências de benefícios econômicos diretos de redução de custos monetários relacionados à saúde e também indiretos, de economia e proteção ao paciente de procedimentos invasivos, cirurgias e terapias onerosas, que geram maior sofrimento no fim de vida. Portanto, estar inserido em um programa de cuidados paliativos promoveu economia de recursos financeiros e tecnológicos, além de ter possibilitado maior frequência de óbitos no domicílio e maior qualidade de vida. Conclusões: Políticas públicas e privadas para promover cuidados paliativos representam melhor eficiência na alocação dos recursos disponíveis para cuidados em saúde.

Abstract Objective: To perform a systematic review of the health economic evidence on the care of children and adolescents with complex clinical conditions, comparing groups included and not included (control group) in palliative care at the end of life. Data source: The seven databases searched were PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Virtual Health Library–Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (VHL-LILACS), EBSCOhost, and Paediatric Economic Database Evaluation, following recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement, from January 1979 to November 2020. The review included studies of patients under 18 years of age with complex clinical conditions that compared a palliative care group with a control group. The economic outcomes analyzed were length and place of stay at the end of life (home, hospice, ward, intensive care unit, emergency room), diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed, and health-related costs. The exclusion criteria were: studies without a matched control group, conference/congress abstracts, letters to the editor, editorials, comments, qualitative studies, narrative reviews, studies with ten or fewer participants in each group, articles published in languages other than English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Data synthesis: Out of the 518 articles identified, 4 met the inclusion criteria. We found evidence of direct economic benefits, such as reduced health costs, indirect savings, and protection of patients from undergoing invasive procedures, surgeries, and costly therapies, which cause greater suffering at the end of life. Therefore, participating in a palliative care program saved financial and technological resources, besides increasing the frequency of deaths at home and improving the quality of life. Conclusions: Public and private policies to promote palliative care represent better efficiency when allocating available health care resources.

Resumo Introdução O conhecimento dos fatores relacionados à perda dentária contribui para o planejamento das ações preventivas realizadas pelas Equipes de Saúde Bucal (ESBs). Objetivo Avaliar o indicador de proporção de exodontia nos municípios do estado de São Paulo e a sua relação com os indicadores socioeconômicos e cobertura das ESBs. Método Estudo ecológico com dados secundários dos 645 municípios do estado de São Paulo do ano de 2012. A variável dependente foi o percentual de exodontia mensurado pelo indicador de proporção de exodontia em relação aos procedimentos individuais realizados pelas ESBs, disponibilizado pelo Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica. Foram considerados como variáveis independentes a cobertura populacional estimada pelas ESBs, o Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) dos municípios per capita, o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) e o Índice Paulista de Responsabilidade Social (IPRS). Foram aplicados modelos lineares generalizados, avaliados pelo p-valor do teste de Wald, AICC e grau de liberdade. Resultados Apresentaram maior proporção de extrações dentárias as cidades do estado de São Paulo com menor cobertura de ESBs (p < 0,0001), com menor valor de IDH (p < 0,0001) e com maior valor de IPRS (p = 0,0018). Conclusão A baixa cobertura de ESBs e as desigualdades socioeconômicas contribuem para aumentar as extrações dentárias no estado de São Paulo.

Abstract Background Knowledge about factors associated with tooth loss contributes to the planning of preventive actions carried out by Oral Health Teams (OHT). Objective To evaluate the proportion of dental extraction indicator in the cities of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and its relationship with socioeconomic indicators and coverage of the OHT. Method Ecological study using secondary data from 654 municipalities in the state of São Paulo conducted in 2012. The dependent variable was the percentage of dental extraction measured by the proportion of this indicator in relation to individual procedures performed by the OHT provided by the Primary Health Care (PHC) Information System. The population coverage by the OHT, the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Human Development Index (HDI), and the São Paulo Social Responsibility Index (IPRS) of the municipalities were evaluated as independent variables. Generalized linear models, formulated by the Wald test p-value, Corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc), and degree of freedom, were applied. Results Higher proportions of dental extraction were found in the municipalities with lower coverage by OHT (p<0.0001), lower HDI value (p<0.0001), and higher IPRS value (p=0. 0018). Conclusion Low coverage by OHT and socioeconomic inequalities contribute to increased proportion of dental extractions in the state of São Paulo.

Resumo: Em alguns processos gerenciais a análise de conteúdo dos discursos dos sujeitos pode ajudar a compreender a subjetividade envolvida na gestão dos serviços de saúde como no caso dos fluxos assistenciais. Objetivo: Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi discutir sobre o uso da análise de conteúdo frequencial lexical para analisar comparativamente a compreensão de um fluxo assistencial para a referência de usuários com câncer bucal. Método: O estudo se localizou no município de Arcoverde, Pernambuco, Brasil. Este é um município de médio porte e contém uma rede de serviços públicos de saúde bucal composta por 19 equipes de cirurgiões-dentistas (CDs) e auxiliares que encaminham pacientes com suspeitas de câncer bucal. Realizou-se entrevista semiestruturada com quatro sujeitos (dois CDs e dois gerentes) para identificar a ‘racionalidade’ (gerencial ou clínica) mais frequente no discurso de ambos sobre o fluxo com intuito de comparação. Para fins analíticos foi usada a análise de conteúdo de Bauer, do tipo frequencial e cuja unidade textual de análise foi o léxico dos discursos dos quatro sujeitos entrevistados sobre o fluxo assistencial. Resultados: A categoria ‘Fluxo Assistencial’ para os CDs foi maior (50%) do que nos Gerentes (47,1%). Os gerentes dominaram mais o conteúdo sobre Atenção Básica do que os CDs clínicos o que pode ser visto na comparação CDs (6,1%) e Gerentes (29,4%). Conclusões: Gerentes e CDs compreendem a referência dos usuários, porém os CDs não estão totalmente seguros dos casos. Os gerentes demonstram uma maior segurança quanto os seus discursos, porém demonstraram resquícios do modelo biomédico. A análise de conteúdo frequencial lexical destes discursos permitiu essa comparação com maior precisão.

Abstract: In some management processes, the content analysis of the subjects' speeches can help to understand the subjectivity involved in the management of health services as in the case of pathways. Objective: Thus, the objective of this study was to discuss the use of lexical frequency content analysis to comparatively analyze the understanding of a care flow for referral of users with oral cancer. Method: The study was located at municipality of Arcoverde, Pernambuco, Brazil. This is a medium-sized town and contains a network of public oral health services made up of 19 teams of dentists and assistants who refer patients with suspected oral cancer. A semi-structured interview was carried out with four subjects (two DCs and two managers) to identify the 'rationality' (managerial or clinical) most frequent in the discourse of both about the flow with a lot of comparison. Bauer's content, of the frequency type and whose textual unit of analysis was the lexicon of the speeches of the four subjects interviewed about the care flow (pathway). Results: The ‘Pathway’ category for DCs was higher (50%) than for Managers (47.1%). Managers dominate the content on Primary Care more than clinical CDs, which can be seen in the comparison between dentists (6.1%) and Managers (29.4%). Conclusions: Managers and dentists understand the users' reference, but the CDs are not entirely sure of the cases. Managers are more confident about their speeches, but they are remnants of the biomedical model. The analysis of the lexical frequency content of these speeches allowed this comparison with greater precision.

RESUMO Objetivo A compreensão do o padrão de comportamento dos indivíduos no nível individual e coletivo frente às suas condições de saúde bucal é de importância inequívoca para prevenção e controle da cárie dentária. Nesta perspectiva o objetivo deste estudo foi buscar evidências da relação entre o capital social e a experiência de cárie. Métodos Utilizando como método revisão sistemática com meta-análise, foram pesquisados artigos nas bases de dados PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, LILACS, IBECS, BBO, SciELO, The Cochrane Library e MEDLINE. Estudos com humanos, de todas as idades e línguas, publicados até julho de 2019, que relacionaram o capital social com a experiência de cárie, foram incluídos nesta revisão. Resultados Foram identificados 1163 artigos, que passaram por avaliação sob critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restando 5 artigos selecionados para compor a amostra do estudo, sendo apenas 3 incluídos na meta-análise. Na análise final o p-valor foi significativo (<0,001), mostrando que tanto a coesão social como o empoderamento de vizinhança estão associados com a experiência de cárie. No modelo randômico foi constatado que o indivíduo tem 2,39 chances de não ter a doença cárie. Os resultados do estudo reforçam a importância do capital social comunitário na experiência de cárie dos indivíduos. Conclusão O alto nível de capital social comunitário tem relação direta com menores índices de experiência de cárie nos indivíduos.

ABSTRACT Objective Understanding the individual and collective behavior of individuals about their oral health conditions is important to prevent and control of dental caries. This study aimed to seek evidence of the relationship between social capital and caries experience. Methods Using a systematic review with meta-analysis, we searched articles in PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, LILACS, IBECS, BBO, SCIELO, The Cochrane Library and MEDLINE databases. Studies with humans, of all ages and languages, published until July 2019, which related social capital to the caries experience, were included in this review. Results We identified 1163 articles evaluated considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, leaving 5 articles selected to compose the study sample, and only 3 included in the meta-analysis. In the final analysis p value was significant (p <0.001), showing that both social cohesion and neighborhood empowerment are associated with the caries experience. In the random model, the individual has 2.39 chances of not having the caries disease. The results reinforce the importance of community social capital in the caries experience of individuals. Conclusions The high level of community social capital is directly related to lower caries experience rates.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a ingestão de alimentos ultraprocessados em crianças, e verificar se há associação com o contexto socioeconômico e demográfico. Métodos Trata-se de estudo analítico, do tipo transversal, com 599 crianças entre 6 meses e 2 anos de idade, cadastradas em Unidades de Saúde da Família, de um município de médio porte. Para a realização da coleta, as mães das crianças foram abordadas em seus domicílios pelas pesquisadoras e por um Agente Comunitário de Saúde da Unidade Saúde da Família e responderam dois questionários, o socioeconômico e demográfico e o marcador do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil para crianças entre 6 meses e 2 anos. A variável dependente do estudo foi a ingestão de alimentos ultraprocessados pela criança e as independentes foram as socioeconômicas e demográficas. Foi realizada análise de regressão múltipla, no nível de significância de 5%, para testar a associação entre a ingestão de alimentos ultraprocessados com as variáveis socioeconômicas e demográficas. Resultados A ingestão de ultraprocessados esteve associada com a idade da criança entre 1 e 2 anos (RC=3,89; IC95%: 2,32-6,50 e RC=3,33; IC95%: 2,00-5,56, respectivamente), com o número de pessoas que residiam na mesma casa (RC=1,94; IC95%: 1,23-3,05) e com as famílias que recebiam auxílio do governo (RC=1,88; IC95%: 1,15-3,04). Conclusão A ingestão de alimentos ultraprocessados por crianças no período da alimentação complementar pode ser influenciada por fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the consumption of ultra-processed foods among children, and to investigate associations with socioeconomic and demographic factors. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study with 599 children aged 6 months to 2 years, and listed as users of Family Health Units, in a medium-size city. Mothers were approached at home by researchers and community health workers from the Family Health Units, for data collection. Two questionnaires were used: the socioeconomic and demographic questionnaire, and the form Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional of Ministério da Saúde do Brasil , for children aged 6 months to 2 years. Ultra-processed food consumption and socioeconomic and demographic factors were defined as dependent and independent variables, respectively. Multiple regression analysis with a significance level of 5% was used to test associations between ultra-processed food consumption and socioeconomic and demographic variables. Results Ultra-processed food consumption was associated with child age between 1 and 2 years (OR=3.89; 95%CI: 2.32-6.50 and OR=3.33; 95%CI: 2.00-5.56, respectively), number of people living in the same household (OR=1.94; 95%CI: 1.23-3.05), and recipients of government benefits (OR=1.88; 95%CI: 1.15-3.04). Conclusion Ultra-processed food consumption among children undergoing complementary feeding may be influenced by socioeconomic and demographic factors.

Abstract: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the need for complete dentures in one dental arch or both, among the elderly population. The cross-sectional household study was conducted with a representative sample of elderly people (65 years or older) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2015. The dependent variable was the need for complete dentures (in one arch or both), and independent variables were socioeconomic and demographic conditions, social capital, self-perception of oral health and access to dental services. Simple and multinomial logistic regression models tested effect measures (p < 0.05). A total of 5,948 elderly people participated. Results indicated that those with greater chances of needing a complete denture in one arch were male (OR = 1.54; CI95%:1.04–2.29), with fewer household goods (OR = 2.25; CI95%:1.50–3.38), lower monthly household income: R$501-1500 (OR = 3.44; CI95%:1.27–9.35), R$1501–2500 (OR = 4.11; CI95%:1.50–11.27), R$2501–4500 (OR = 2.76; CI95%:1.10–6.95), self-reported need for a complete denture (OR = 4.75; CI95%:3.08–7.35), ≥3 years since last dental appointment (OR = 1.80; CI95%:1.06–3.05), and dissatisfaction with last dental appointment (OR = 1.80; CI95%:1.06–3.05). There were more chances of the need for complete dentures in both arches among older elders (OR = 1.44; CI95%:1.06–1.88), with lower monthly household income: R$ < 501 (OR = 4.45; CI95%:1.71–11.60), R$501–1500 (OR = 4.01; CI95%:2.14–7.51), R$1501–2500 (OR = 2.95; CI95%:1.64–5.32), < 3 years of education (OR = 1.45; CI95%:1.13–1.85), feeling unhappy (OR = 2.74; CI95%:1.35–5.57), self-reported need for a complete denture (OR = 8.48; CI95%:5.75–12.50), dissatisfaction with their mouth (OR = 2.38; CI95%:1.64–3.46), ≥3 years since last dental appointment (OR = 4.28; CI95%:2.85–6.43), and dissatisfaction with last dental appointment (OR = 4.28; CI95%:2.85–6.43). The several dimensions of the determinants of the need for a complete denture reflect the influence of both demographic and socioeconomic aspects, social capital, self-perception of oral health and access to dental services.

Abstract Satisfaction with dental aesthetics is a subjective indicator used in epidemiological studies and is related to health behaviours. Little is known about the factors that influence this indicator, particularly among adolescents who live in a situation of social vulnerability. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between malocclusion and dental appearance in underprivileged Brazilian adolescents. This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Piracicaba, Brazil, and evaluated 884 adolescents from 13 to 19 years of age. The dependent variable was satisfaction with dental appearance, and the independent variables were classified as individual (components of the Dental Aesthetic Index - DAI, sex and age) and contextual (social exclusion index). For statistical analysis, multilevel regression models were estimated. The individual variables were considered Level 1, and the contextual variable was considered Level 2, with a level of significance of 5%. The mean age of the adolescents was 15.3 years. Female adolescents more frequently affirmed that they were satisfied with their dental appearance than did male individuals. There was an increase in dissatisfaction with oral health with the increase in anterior maxillary overjet, midline diastema, larger anterior irregularity in the maxilla, larger anterior irregularity in the mandible, anterior open bite and antero-posterior molar relation. Satisfaction with dental appearance was associated with individual factors such as sex and DAI components.

RESUMO: Introdução: O câncer de boca e o câncer de orofaringe são doenças influenciadas por fatores socioeconômicos. O risco de desenvolver essas doenças aumenta com a idade, e a maioria dos casos ocorre em idosos, com elevadas taxas de mortalidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a influência dos índices socioeconômicos municipais nas taxas de mortalidade por câncer de boca (CB) e de orofaringe (CO) em idosos nas 645 cidades do estado de São Paulo, Brasil, nos anos de 2013 a 2015. Método: Dados secundários de óbitos foram obtidos pelo Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) do Ministério da Saúde. O número de idosos e os valores da renda média per capita e do índice de desenvolvimento humano por município (IDH-M) foram obtidos a partir dos dados da Fundação SEADE. Realizou-se a análise descritiva e exploratória dos dados, seguida de modelos binomiais negativos descritos pelo procedimento PROC GENMOD e avaliados pelo critério de informação de Akaike corrigido (AICc), pelo grau de liberdade e pelo teste de Wald (α=0,05). Resultados: Cerca de 30% das cidades notificaram óbitos em 2013, 16,74% em 2014 e 18,61% em 2015. Astaxas médias de mortalidade por CB e CO foram, respectivamente, de 20,0 (± 30,9) e 10,7 (± 17,5) por 100milhabitantes. A renda média variou de R$ 434,20 a R$ 2.009,00 e o IDH-M, de 0,65 a 0,89. Houve decréscimo significativo (p < 0,05) nas taxas de mortalidade por CB e CO em idosos com o aumento dos valores das rendas médias e do IDH-M. Conclusão: As desigualdades socioeconômicas das cidades influenciam nas taxas de mortalidade por CB e CO em idosos.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Oral and oropharyngeal cancer are diseases strongly influenced by socioeconomic factors. The risk of developing these diseases increases with age and most cases occur in the elderly, with higher mortality rates. This study aimed to analyze the influence of municipal socioeconomic indices on mortality rates for oral (OC) and oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in elderly residents from 645 cities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, from 2013 to 2015. Method: Secondary data on deaths were obtained in the Mortality Information System from the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The number of elderly, as well as per capita median income values and Human Development Index by municipality (HDI-M) values were obtained from data by the SEADE Foundation. Descriptiveand exploratory analysis of data was performed, followed by negative binomial models described by the Proc Genmod procedure and evaluated by the corrected AIC (Akaike Information Criterion), the likelihood level, and the Wald test (α = 0.05). Results: Around 30% of the cities notified deaths in 2013, 16.74% in 2014, and 18.61% in 2015. Founded mortality mean rates from OC and OPC were, respectively, 20.0 (± 430.9) and 10.7 (± 17.5) deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanincome ranged, in local currency, from 434.2 to 2,009.00. HDI-M ranged from 0.65 to 0.89. There was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in mortality rates for OC and OPC in elderly with the increase in the cities’ mean income and HDI-M values. Conclusion: Socioeconomic inequalities in the cities the on mortality rates for OC and OPC in elderly residents.

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the experience of caries related to social capital and associated factors in adults in large-scale population-based study. A Cross-sectional study was performed in 163 municipalities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil (SBSP-2015). 17,560 people were evaluated, of which 6051 were adults aged 35–44 years. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis was proposed. Outcome variables (decayed teeth, missing teeth and DMFT) and independent variables were included in the model, considering the distal (income and schooling); intermediate (social capital) and proximal levels (sex and ethnicity). Results showed that income up to 1,500 reais – US$ 367.6 in 11/11/2019 - (OR = 1.91;1.75–2.08), schooling up to 8 years (OR = 1.32;1.12–1.56) and non-white ethnicity (OR = 1.54;1.35–1.76) were more likely to have decayed teeth. Income up to 1500 reais (OR = 1.29;1.15-1.44), schooling up to 8 years (OR = 2.13;1.90–2.38), low social capital (OR = 1.84;1.65–2.04), medium social capital (OR = 1.15;1.01–1.30) and females were more likely to have lost teeth (OR = 1.13;1.03–1.23). Schooling up to 8 years (OR = 1.51;1.35–1.69), low social capital (OR = 1.25; 1.14–1.37) and female (OR = 1.40,1.19–1.53) were associated with DMFT. It was concluded that sociodemographic factors and low social capital were associated with the experience of caries, which should be taken into account in the formulation of public policies.
