Introdução: A extensão universitária é uma missão estratégica para a educação profissional e interprofissional, pois possibilita ao aluno vivenciar ações concretas, voltadas a determinadas realidades socio-sanitárias. O Programa de Expedições Científicas e Assistenciais (PECA), fundado em 2004, é uma das importantes atuações nessa área da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo (FCMSCSP), desenvolvendo ações de assistência integral à saúde em municípios paulistas, através de parcerias com os gestores municipais de saúde. Conhecer os determinantes sociais de saúde dos usuários do PECA emerge como um eixo importante na atuação desse Programa. Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar aspectos relacionados às condições de vida, acesso aos serviços e possíveis implicações no estado de saúde da população adulta, usuária do PECA, na cidade de Araraquara, São Paulo, no ano de 2019. Método: Para tanto, realizou-se estudo transversal, abordagem quantitativa e amostra de conveniência. Aplicou-se questionário estruturado, contendo perguntas sobre condições sociocomunitárias, fatores de risco e de proteção à saúde, acesso aos serviços socioculturais e de saúde. A população amostral foi composta por adultos (igual a e/ou maior de 18 anos de idade), atendidos no PECA, realizado na cidade de Araraquara, São Paulo, no mês de janeiro 2019. As informações coletadas foram digitadas na plataforma digital REDCap (https://redcap.fcmsantacasasp. edu.br). Foi realizada análise de prevalência e associação, empregando o teste Odds Ratio (OR), com intervalo de confiança 95%. Resultado: Participaram 338 usuários, 69% do total atendidos no PECA na faixa etária elegível por essa pesquisa. A maioria é do sexo feminino com idades entre 18 a 59 anos. Branco é a cor autodeclarada mais observada e 42,6% referem-se casados. Metade dos entrevistados afirma não ter acesso a bens culturais. Constata-se baixa frequência de práticas físicas nessa população. A maioria utiliza a rede assistencial do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), sendo a Unidade Básica de Saúde o serviço mais acessado. Conclusão: O baixo consumo de bens culturais expressa potencialmente condições de vulnerabilidade social. A não realização de atividade física é fator de não proteção para a saúde. São usuários dos serviços públicos de saúde, particularmente os de atenção primária, fato que corrobora a importância do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) na garantia do acesso universal. As dimensões envolvidas com os modos de andar a vida da população adulta e idosa que utilizaram os serviços ofertados pelo PECA, na cidade de Araraquara, ampliam o olhar sobre os sujeitos cuidados, contribuindo, desse modo, para qualificar a atuação da extensão universitária da FCMSCSP.Palavras-chave: Extensão universitária, Determinação social, Autopercepção de saúde, Condições de vida ABSTRACTIntroduction: The university extension course is a strategic task to professional and interprofessional education as it allows the student to experience concrete action towards specific social-sanitary conditions. The “Programa de Expedições Científicas e Assistenciais” (PECA), founded in 2004, it is one of the most important initiative by Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo in this field. PECA implements actions of integral health assistance in cities of State of São Paulo through partnership with cities health officials. It is a significant aspect of PECA to know the social factors which affect users’ health. Aim: This article aims to analyze features related to life conditions, access to health services and potential health effects on an adult population from Araraquara (São Paulo) in 2019. Method: The research is a transversal study with quantitative approach and convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire was applied asking about social conditions, access to sociocultural and health services, factors of risk and health protection. The sample includes adults (18 years old or more) attended by PECA in Araraquara in January 2019. Data gathered were recorded on digital platform REDCap (https://redcap.fcmsantacasasp.edu.br). It was done an analysis of prevalence and association through Odds Ratio (OR) test, with 95% confidence interval. Result: Took part of the research 338 users, which equals 69% of PECA users within the research rage age. Most are female, between the ages of 18 and 59. White is the most self-declared color and 42.6% are married. Half claims to not have access to cultural goods. There is a low frequency of physical activities and the majority uses the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) (Unidade Básica de Saúde is the most demanded service). Conclusion: The low levels of cultural goods consumption express potential condition of social vulnerability and the lack of physical activity is a risk factor to health. These people are users of health public services, particularly of primary attention. This fact shows the importance of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) to secure universal access to health. The several aspects of the way of life of the population which has made use of PECA in Araraquara broad the perspective on them and may improve initiatives from university extension courses of FCMSCSP.Keywords: University extension courses, Social determinants, Health status, Life conditions -

Objective: To characterize the health status of older island Puerto Ricans, a segment of the U.S. population that has been largely overlooked in aging research. Method: Data from the 2002 Puerto Rican Elderly Health Conditions Project and the 2002 Health and Retirement Study are used to examine differences in disease, disability, and self-rated health among island Puerto Ricans and the mainland U.S.-born older adult population. Differences are further examined by gender. Results: Island Puerto Ricans were less likely to have heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, activities of daily living (ADL) limitations, and poor self-rated health, but more likely to have hypertension and diabetes. Island Puerto Rican women had worse health relative to island Puerto Rican men. Discussion: Recent challenges in the funding and provision of health care in Puerto Rico are worrisome given the large number of aging island adults, many of whom have hypertension and diabetes, two conditions that require long-term medical care.

Background: The Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) is a valuable index used for determining and monitoring the oral health status in a community. This study aimed to determine the oral health status and its associated factors based on the DMFT index among people aged 15 to 45 yr old in Kurdistan Province, west of Iran. Methods: This study was conducted on 2000 people aged 15-40 yr old in Kurdistan, western Iran in 2015. Using a questionnaire, data were collected by four trained dental students. The dependent variable was the DMFT index. The collected data were analyzed using T-test, ANOVA, Pearson statistics, Kendall statistics, and multiple regression. Results: The mean (SD) values of Decayed teeth (DT), Missing teeth (MT), and Filled teeth (FT) indices in the participants were 2.85±1.7, 1.15±1.84, and 3.33±1.7, respectively. The mean (SD) value of total DMFT index was 7.33±3.0. The results of multiple regression showed that the frequency of using dental floss (coefficient= - 0.296, P=0.001), socio-economic status (coefficient=-0.199, P=0.001), parental education (coefficient= -0.183, P=0.001), frequency of brushing (coefficient=-0.182, P=0.001), and frequency of the use of mouthwash (coefficient=-0/143, P=0.001) had the highest level of with association with the DMFT index. Conclusion: The oral health status of the adult population is alarming and undesirable. The oral and dental health status can be improved via changing behavioral habits (such as brushing, using mouthwashes, and dental floss), promoting socioeconomic status, increasing individual’s and parent's level of education, and enhancing people’s access to health insurance.

Masticatory performance has been studied extensively in the past few decades. Age, gender, the number of teeth in occlusion, occlusal contact area, salivary flow, and neurophysiological deficits influence the masticatory process. The replacement of missing teeth with dental prostheses, whether fixed or removable, is often used to achieve an acceptable level of masticatory performance. Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the association between masticatory performance and age, gender, and oral health status based on the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMF-T) score, denture use, and denture condition in an adult population. Methods: This study included a total of 152 individuals (60 males and 92 females) aged 17 years or older (mean ± standard deviation: 33.4 ± 13.1 years). Masticatory performance was evaluated using color-changeable chewing gum. The chi-squared test was used to assess the association between masticatory performance and age, gender, DMF-T score, dental prosthesis use, and prosthesis condition. Results: Age (p=0.001), missing teeth (p=0.001), and prosthesis use (p=0.011) had significant relationships with masticatory performance. However, the correlations between masticatory performance and gender, tooth decay, fillings, and prosthesis condition were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Age, missing teeth, and prostheses are strongly associated with masticatory performance.

Purpose: Assessment of the health status of working operators in the substations in the coal industry. Material and methods: Prophylactic examinations were carried out on 82 workers responsible for ensuring the security of the power supply in the mines. Some basic indicators (range of prophylactic examinations, relative share of sick persons, structure of the momentary illness) were followed. A connection has been sought between the established deviations in the health status and the working environment factors, as well as the harmful habits. Results: Diseases of the organs of the circulation (66.03%) and "Endocrine diseases" (9.43%) predominate in the registered pathology. The same share is the class "Diseases of the eye and its eye appendages” and "Diseases of the respiratory system" (5.66%). Work environment factors are not directly related to health hazards. Smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, stress are important to unlock some diseases. Conclusions: Periodic medical examinations allow early detection of diseases and especially their timely treatment. On the basis of the health status analysis, the necessary health and medical activities, services and programs for the protection of the health of the employees can be developed, planned and implemented.

Introduction. The quality of labour potential is one of the most important factors of economic growth, which largely depends on the health status of the working-age population. Today, incidence and prevalence rates in the Russian working-age population are not monitored at the national level. Materials and methods. We conducted a descriptive epidemiological study based on retrospective data on disease incidence in the adult population of the Russian Federation. We also assessed disease incidence and prevalence in the Russian working-age population (men aged 18-59 and women aged 18-54) in 2015-2019 using the method of continuous observation. We estimated and ranked incidence and prevalence rates per 100,000 working-age population of some constituent entities and federal districts of the Russian Federation to establish the territories with the highest and lowest rates. Results. We applied and tested methodological approaches to assessing the morbidity of the working-age population living in different regions of the Russian Federation. Our findings demonstrate a high degree of variability in both incidence and prevalence rates in the working-age population in general and by ICD-10 disease categories. Conclusion. Results of our assessments and ranking of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation by disease-specific incidence and prevalence rates in the working-age population provide an opportunity to areas at risk with specific health status enabling the most efficient management of risks of labour and economic losses. The proven method approaches may be used to address the challenges of public health monitoring.
