Objetivo: analisar o comportamento de risco, os fatores associados e as repercussões neonatais em gestantes com sífilis.Método: estudo transversal, descritivo e retrospectivo, composto por 107 casos de sífilis gestacional em um hospital referência em gestação de alto risco, no período entre janeiro de 2016 e abril de 2017. Para análise estatística, foram aplicadosos testes de qui-quadrado de Yates e Exato de Fisher. Resultados: maior ocorrência em mulheres jovens (56,1%), de cornão branca (81%), sem companheiro (53%), procedentes de outros municípios (65%), com menor escolaridade (62%) esem exercer atividade remunerada (82%). Apesar de realizarem o pré-natal (95%), obtiveram um tratamento inadequadopara a infecção (60%) e sem adesão dos parceiros sexuais (48%). Houve um predomínio de recém-nascidos pré-termos(51%), classificados com baixo peso ao nascer (35%) e vivos (90%). Houve uma associação estatisticamente significante entre o comportamento de risco com a escolaridade de até 8 anos de estudos (p<0.010), número de consultas de pré-natal<6 (p<0.001) e ocorrência de parto vaginal (p<0.032). Conclusão: as desigualdades sociais, aliadas às falhas na assistênciapré-natal, corroboram para a persistência do quadro epidemiológico de sífilis no Brasil.Descritores: Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis; Sífilis; Saúde da Mulher; Infecções por Treponema; Comportamentos de Risco à Saúde. Objective: to analyze the risk behavior, associated factors and neonatal repercussions in pregnant women with syphilis.Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive and retrospective study of 107 cases of gestational syphilis in a high-risk gestational hospital, in the period between January 2016 and April 2017. For statistical analysis, the chi-square Yates and Fisher’sExact test were applied. Results: greater occurrence in young women (56.1%), non-white skin color (81%), withoutcompanion (53%), coming from other municipalities (65%), lower schooling (62%) and without exercising paid activity(82%). Although they performed prenatal care (95%), they were inadequately treated for infection (60%) and withoutadherence of sexual partners (48%). There was a predominance of preterm newborns (51%), classified as having lowbirth weight (35%) and alive (90%). There was a statistically significant association between risk behavior with up to 8years of schooling (p <0.010), number of prenatal consultations <6 (p <0.001), and vaginal delivery (p <0.032). Conclusion: social inequalities, together with failures in prenatal care, corroborate the persistence of the epidemiologicalpresentation of syphilis in Brazil.Descriptores: Sexually Transmitted Diseases; Syphilis; Women’s Health; Treponemal Infections; Health Risk Behaviors. ,corroboram para a persistência do quadro epidemiológico de sífilis no Brasil. presentment

We studied vaccination coverage and its associated factors in the 2010 pandemic influenza vaccination of Brazilian pregnant women. A cross-sectional study of pregnant women who had given birth was performed in a municipality in southern Brazil, in 2010. Data about vaccination against A(H1N1) and sociodemographic characteristics, morbidities and prenatal care were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using a Poisson regression. Coverage was 77.4%. Most were vaccinated in the public sector (97.6%) and in the second trimester (47%). Associated factors that increased vaccination were marriage, older age, first income quartile, prenatal care and influenza before pregnancy. Education and skin color were not significantly associated with vaccination. The vaccination campaign was extensive and exhibited no inequality. Prenatal care was the factor that most affected vaccination coverage, reflecting its importance for vaccination campaign success.

OBJECTIVETo assess the quality of prenatal care in mothers with premature and term births and identify maternal and gestational factors associated with inadequate prenatal care.METHODCross-sectional study collecting data with the pregnant card, hospital records and interviews with mothers living in Maringa-PR. Data were collected from 576 mothers and their born alive infants who were attended in the public service from October 2013 to February 2014, using three different evaluation criteria. The association of prenatal care quality with prematurity was performed by univariate analysis and occurred only at Kessner criteria (CI=1.79;8.02).RESULTSThe indicators that contributed most to the inadequacy of prenatal care were tests of hemoglobin, urine, and fetal presentation. After logistic regression analysis, maternal and gestational variables associated to inadequate prenatal care were combined prenatal (CI=2.93;11.09), non-white skin color (CI=1.11;2.51); unplanned pregnancy (CI=1.34;3.17) and multiparity (CI=1.17;4.03).CONCLUSIONPrenatal care must follow the minimum recommended protocols, more attention is required to black and brown women, multiparous and with unplanned pregnancies to prevent preterm birth and maternal and child morbimortality.

The aim of this study was verify physical activity practice and associated factors among FZ users of Pelotas. Participants answered a questionnaire containing demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, health and on the use of FZs. A long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to determine the level of physical activity and those who reported at least 150 minutes / week of PA in the leisure time were considered sufficiently active. The study included 323 subjects (65.3% women), mean age 52.5 years, 83.6% white skin color and 61.9% married. Almost half of respondents were overweight (48.0%), 45.8% had high blood pressure, 10.5% had diabetes and 64.4% used medications. About 77.7% of respondents were classified as sufficiently active. Health perception was associated to leisure physical activity, and the better the health perception, the higher the prevalence of sufficient physical activity. Collective programs with participation of Physical Education teacher can contribute to interaction of practitione with the use of fitness zones and increase the level of physical activity of individuals.

Comprehensive care towards geriatric health can be sustained by having good knowledge and attitude among the providers. Hence, this research aims to measure the knowledge and attitude of the final year medical students towards geriatric health and determine the associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the students using structured questionnaires of Geriatric-Attitude-Scale and Palmore-Facts-on-Aging-Quiz was used. Data was analysed using Mann Whitney U test, Chi square test and Spearman correlation coefficient analysis for the association between the score and studied variables. Median score of students’ knowledges is at 14.00 (IQR 13.00) and mean score for attitude is 48.52 (+5.53) respectively. Place of residence (P= 0.01) and presence of grandparents (P= 0.04) were the significant factors that affected knowledge of students towards geriatrics while number of siblings (P= 0.05) influenced attitudes of students towards geriatrics. Improvement of current geriatric curriculum should be done with more refined implementation of gerontology course in the basic medical learning.

Undergraduates may face challenges to assure food security, related to economic and mental distress, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess food insecurity and its associated factors in undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2020 to February 2021 with 4775 undergraduates from all Brazilian regions. The questionnaire contained socio-economic variables, the validated Brazilian food insecurity scale, and the ESQUADA scale to assess diet quality. The median age of the students was 22.0 years, and 48.0% reported income decreasing with the pandemic. Food insecurity was present in 38.6% of the students, 4.5% with severe food insecurity and 7.7% moderate. Logistic regressions showed students with brown and black skin color/race presented the highest OR for food insecurity; both income and weight increase or reduction during the pandemic was also associated with a higher OR for food insecurity, and better diet quality was associated with decreased OR for food insecurity. Our study showed a considerable presence of food insecurity in undergraduates. Policy for this population must be directed to the most vulnerable: those with brown and black skin color/race, who changed income during the pandemic, and those presented with difficulties maintaining weight and with poor diet quality.
