Recent studies have demonstrated the epidemiological transition and the increased occurrence of Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases (NCD), especially among adolescents in less developed countries, and in those who live in poor areas. Although it is recognized that these diseases are more commonly perceived in adults, their manifestations are the result of the interaction of risk factors acquired at an early age. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify the risk factors for NCDs in adolescents from the rural area of a town in the northeast of the state of Pará, Brazil, as well as to present the risk factors for NCDs through the following variables: physical activity, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, Body Mass Index, waist circumference and blood pressure, identifying the possible associations between these variables with the socio-demographic, socioeconomic conditions and with the behavioral and alimentary markers. An observational, cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out on a representative sample of students of both sexes, aged between 15 and 19 years, enrolled in the regular high school of six public schools in the rural area of the municipality of Ipixuna-PA. The data were obtained through a questionnaire and clinical evaluation, being analyzed by means of explanatory analysis and univariate and multiple logistic regression, considering a significance level of 5% (p < 0,05) and a 95% confidence interval (CI). The sample consisted mostly of female individuals, with an average age of 17 years, who were insufficiently active, who had already experienced alcohol and tobacco, belonging to the most socially vulnerable strata and who had a poor-fiber diet, but rich in fats and sugar. The sedentary lifestyle was significantly related to the female sex, while the risk of altered blood pressure and tobacco experimentation were significantly related to the male sex. Socioeconomic conditions have been shown to influence mainly blood pressure increase, tobacco experimentation, and waist circumference, while older age has been shown to be a protective factor for abdominal obesity. Likewise, the consumption and experimentation of alcohol and tobacco showed to have their use combined, as well as the presence of abdominal obesity and overweight. Inadequate feeding, in turn, was associated with the greater risk of the adolescent being insufficiently active. This study makes clear the need for more effective public policies aimed at raising awareness of the need for a healthier lifestyle among adolescents in rural areas.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) NASCIMENTO, Rodolfo Gomes do; SOUSA, Rita Catarina Medeiros; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3560941703812539
The pandemic of HIV and aids represent a global phenomenon, dynamic and unstable. One of the main achievements in controlling the epidemic was the creation and expansion of Counseling and Testing Centers (CTC) in several regions of the country. These centres represent the input port of the individual is infected in the health system and provide specialist services in diagnosis, guidance on HIV transmission and prevention. The overall objective of the survey was to describe the epidemiological profile, as well as the risk of users behaviors that were serviced in CTA-Belém, between January 2008 and December 2010 with positive serology for HIV. For this purpose was held an active pursuit and confidentially in medical records archived respecting the anonymity of users and all ethical precepts that involve the manipulation of information. Were analyzed the data of 547 users with HIV of CTA-Belém during the study period (prevalence 6,09%). The results of the survey clarified the profile of users with AIDS, who were in the majority of the general population and were not part of any group more vulnerable to viral infection and sought service have been exposed to some risk and forwarded by other services/health professionals. Regarding the risky behavior, 98.5% reported sexual exposure and results warn not to use condoms in sex with both fixed and with possible partners, being the main reasons for this behavior trust in partnerthe non-availability of condoms during sexual intercourse and others. It is concluded that although there are similarities in relation to other studies developed in the country and with the current trend of HIV/AIDS epidemic, there are peculiarities in our region who deserve better targeting of preventive intervention on the part of public health such as providing free condoms and guidance campaigns for use in stable relationships, including in the population with higher education and professional situation stable.
