Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Associação do índice de massa corporal com a glicemia de jejum e pressão arterial em indígenas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-02-13) REIS, Rosilene Costa; GUERREIRO, João Farias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1000688763895346This study aims to measure and describe the shape of the relationship between BMI, fasting plasma glucose and blood pressure on indigenous groups of Amazonia Para. We studied 297 adults across the ethnic Kaip (Xikrin and Kararaô), Araweté, Parakanã, and Arara Asurini located in the State of Pará, northern Brazil. The variables BMI, blood glucose and blood pressure were measured and categorized as still in overweight, obesity, diabetes, the glucose intolerance and hypertension. The relationship of BMI with the other variables was tested by linear regression method by adopting a significance level of 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Mean BMI (23.7 kg/m2), fasting plasma glucose (83.4 mg / dL), diastolic blood pressure (60.0 mmHg) and age (49 years) showed no significant difference between genders and for men only systolic blood pressure (98.0 mmHg) was higher. The prevalence of overweight was 23.6% and obesity from 5.7%. Were not identified new cases of diabetes mellitus type 2, but four cases (1.3%) of the disease were reported. The impaired glucose tolerance was present in 2.4% of the population and hypertension in 1.3%. The BMI associated with the glucose, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), is better explained from diastolic blood pressure (BMI = 20590 +0.52 DBP). The relationship of BMI with blood glucose levels and blood pressure was positive, but further studies are needed to have more clarity between cause and effect.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Fatores de risco cardiovasculares em comunidades de remanescentes quilombolas de Inhangapi-Pa(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-11) SANTOS, Joice Costa; GUERREIRO, João Farias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1000688763895346Cardiovasculares disease (CVD) currently represent a serious public health problem, with high mortality and disability. In Brazil is the leading cause of death in both gender, as well as higher prevalence among blacks. Risk factores for cardiovascular diseases, however, when addedat risk much higher. Within this contest, this study aimed to analyze the set of cardiovascular risk factors involved in maroon communities reminiscent of the city of Inhangapi-Para. This study of cross-sectional design was conducted in 2009 in the communities of afro-descendents of Pitimandeua, Itaboca and Paraíse, located in the municipality of Inhangapi-Pa, northern Brazil. The sample consisted of 218 adults over 20 years of which were measured through of central and dispersion measures for the general population and by gender, using the Student t test; were categorized to estimate the prevalence and used the chi-square to determine the probability and the odds ratio were employed to characterize the risk factors most relevant to CVD using a range of 95%; we used the linear correlation coefficient of Pearson to identify the level of association between variables; logistic regression was applied using the Stepwise method and used the odds ratio to assess the chance of individuals exposed to risk facotrs present a set of three or more chronic diseases compared to non-exposed. Analyses were processed in the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 18.0. The presence of three or more carviovascular risk factors was present in 33% of general population was statistically higher among women (40%). The risk factors were more prevalente excess body fat (42.5%), overweight (40.6%) and hypertension (35.4%) for the general population. In the final model, the set of risk factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular disease for women were body fat (OR: 1.5), abdmonial circumference (OR: 1.3) and systolic blood pressure (OR: 4,5), explaining an accuracy of 88.2% for this model. And for men total cholesterol (OR: 1.1), body fat (OR: 1.3) and systolic blood pressure (OR: 3.1), explaining a hit 83.7%. Excess body fat and systolic hypertension were common among men and women, with systolic hypertension constituted a greater risk to the population of remnants of Quilombo Inhangapi. Standing out among men hypercholesterolemia among women abdominal obesity.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Ocorrência do câncer do colo do útero em mulheres indígenas da Amazônia Paraense(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-12-15) MOTA, Rosemary Pereira da; AMARAL FILHO, Otacílio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2605877670235703; GUERREIRO, João Farias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1000688763895346The present study examined the occurrence of cancer of the cervix in Indian women of the Amazon Para, in the period 2005-2012, highlighting the interest in indigenous populations affected by diseases of modernity considering the difficulties and the importance of studying the health problems of these populations influenced by inter-ethnic contacts and processes of socio-cultural and environmental change. A quantitative research based on statistical exploratory model was carried out to give support to qualitative analysis that characterized the research. We used data from the House of Indigenous Health, Bethlehem district Icoaraci ( CASAI ) , records and reference and counter-reference guides . The incidence and changes in cervical cancer, and types of treatment received, referrals were analyzed, in addition to high grounds in fourteen indigenous women, occurring at this period, characterizing their prevalence.
