Objetivo: identificar a produção científica nacional e internacional sobre a possível associação da vivência de eventos de vida produtores de estresse e o desenvolvimento de câncer. Métodos: estudo cienciométrico sobre a produção científica veiculada em periódicos indexados nos bancos de dados United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e trabalhos disponíveis na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) por meio de busca pelos seguintes descritores; “life events influence cancer”, “stressful life events cancer” e “traumatic events cancer” e seus correspondentes em língua portuguesa. Resultados: foram selecionados 82 artigos, de um total de 2.176. Verificou-se crescente número de publicações a partir da década de 90, destacando maior parte dos autores da América do Norte. Observou-se maior associação dos eventos estressores com o câncer de mama e a predominância de amostragem do grupo feminino. O luto, perda e a frustração destacaram-se como eventos estressores relacionados à maior possibilidade de desenvolvimento de câncer. Dos estudos selecionados 40,9% apresentaram correlação positiva, 25,3% correlação negativa e 33,8% foram inconclusivos. Considerações finais: verificou-se controvérsia nos resultados das publicações científicas no que tange à análise de correlação entre o desenvolvimento de câncer e presença de eventos de vida produtores de estresse, sugere-se a necessidade da realização de novos estudos que abordem esta temática.

Purpose: Obesity is a public health issue in the United States (US), that disproportionately affects marginalized group members. Stressful life events (SLE) have been implicated as an obesogenic risk factor. However, there is scant research examining of the role of nativity status and length of residence in the relationship between SLE and obesity. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. Sample: A total of 34,653 participants were included in these analyses, of whom 10,169 (29.39%) had obesity. Measures: Obesity (measured using body mass index), stressful life events, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, family income, marital status, current smoking status, and alcohol abuse. Analysis: Weighted logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 10,169 (29.39%) had obesity. There was a significant interaction between SLE and nativity status/length of residence [F (3, 34,642) = 60.50, p < 0.01]. Based on stratified analyses, SLE were associated with greater odds of obesity for US-born individuals (OR = 1.07; 95% CI [1.05, 1.08]) and foreign-born individuals living in the US for ≥ 20 years (OR = 1.17; 95% CI [1.10, 1.25]). There was no evidence that SLE were associated with greater odds of obesity for foreign-born individuals living in the US <10 years (OR = 1.06; 95% CI [0.94, 1.21]) and 11-19 years (OR = 1.00; 95% CI [0.91, 1.09]). Conclusions: Number of SLE may be a risk factor for obesity, particularly for US-born adults and foreign-born adults living the US >20 years. Further research is needed to understand the pathways that may link SLE to obesity among these groups.

Abstract The majority of studies on traumatic life events focus on posttraumatic stress disorder and depression, while less is known whether the cumulative exposure to traumatic events over the life course will deteriorate cognitive function. This study aims to investigate the association between lifetime traumatic events and cognitive function in an immigrant population. The data were drawn from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago (PINE). Face-to-face interviews were conducted with a sample of 3,126 U.S. Chinese older adults in 2017-2019. Twelve types of traumatic events were assessed: physical assault, residential fires, sexual assault, miscarriage, abortion, imprisonment, being falsely accused, divorce, death of a loved one, being robbed, experiencing cancer, and being homeless. Cognitive function was measured through global cognition, episodic memory, working memory, processing speed, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Linear regression was performed. In our sample, the maximum traumatic events experienced by one participant are eight types. Older adults who experienced one additional personal event were associated with higher global cognition (b=0.101, SE=0.012), episodic memory (b=0.130, SE=0.016), working memory (b=0.151, SE=0.034), processing speed (b=1.709, SE=0.178), and MMSE (b=0.124, SE=0.057), while controlling for age, gender, income, and education. In contrast with earlier studies, we identified the positive relationships between traumatic events and cognition. Older adults who had prior experience with stressful life events could demonstrate an advantage over those without such an experience. Further studies could investigate how individuals would respond to stressful life events, and how their resilience mechanism would promote cognitive function.
