- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Dimensão social da ocorrência das doenças: I - positividade da reação de Machado-Guerreiro em convocados para o serviço militar no Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), de 1972 a 1975(Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, 1979-12-01) Goldenberg, Paulete [UNIFESP]; Morais, Mauro Batista de [UNIFESP]; Cainelli, Mariangela [UNIFESP]; Nery, Caio Augusto de Souza [UNIFESP]; Moron, Antonio Fernandes [UNIFESP]; Nioni, Antonio Sergio [UNIFESP]; Tebexreni, Antonio Sergio [UNIFESP]; José, Francisco Filhou [UNIFESP]; Khouri, Sergio [UNIFESP]; Iunes, Magid [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Study of a historical series survey showed the coefficients running into high numbers indicating the positiveness of the Machado-Guerreiro reaction among army draftees called to service in the city of S. Paulo. Attention is called to the fact taht these figures are higher that those found among army draftees called to service in the hinterland where, paradoxally, the endemic areas exist. As the existence of Chagas transmission in the city of S. Paulo has not been reported, its occurrence can be ascribed to the coming of migrants infected in the areas they come from. Study of the place of origin of young draftees brought evidence which sustains this hypothesis. These data emphasize the presence of social factors in determining the occurrence and distribution of the disease in the community.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)A dimensão social das doenças: II - positividade das reações de Wasserman e VDRL em convocados para o Serviço Militar no Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), de 1972 a 1978(Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, 1982-06-01) Goldenberg, Paulete [UNIFESP]; Pardo, Rosa Maria [UNIFESP]; Pimentel, Dalva Regina Neto [UNIFESP]; Ribeiro, Sandra Aparecida [UNIFESP]; Pernambuco, Maurício [UNIFESP]; Iunes, Magid [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Following up the historical series started in 1968, the collection of data from 1972 to 1978 has shown that in the long run, in spite of oscillations, there were no significant variations of the coefficients of positiveness of the Wasserman and VDRL reactions in the boys recruited to the Army in the Capital. In the hinterland the raising on the coefficients' rates, from 1973 on, reverting the tendency previously observed, brought these rates near to those of the Capital. The study of the sub-samples showed the presence of larger proportions of positiveness among the recruits enlisted in the Capital as compared to those in the hinterland, independente of origin which may suggest some similarity to epidemiological reports from developed countries. On the other hand, among the recruits enlisted in the Capital there were larger proportions of positiveness among those born in other States of the country, which could be regarded as evidence of the presence of illness associated with proverty or under-development. In this connection, attention is called by the authors to the epidemiological peculiarities of the illness in view of the singularity of the respective social organizations at a given historical moment.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Estudo sobre nascidos vivos em maternidades: 1. Peso ao nascer, sexo, tipo de nascimento e filiação previdenciária das mães(Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, 1988-12-01) Souza, Maria de Lourdes R. de; Tanaka, Ana Cristina D'Andretta; Siqueira, Arnaldo Augusto Franco de; Santana, Renato Martins [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Centro de Ciências da Saúde Departamento de Saúde Pública; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Birthweight is the result of many factors (organic, psychological, social) acting on the genetic potential of the fetus. Consequently, its distribution is different according to the characteristics of the population. In this paper the authors studied the weight at birth of live newborns (from 1978 to 1979) in the two big maternity hospitals, in Florianópolis, responsible for 90% of all births in the area, by sex, litter size and mother's health security. The authors verified that the mean birthweight of the 18,491 live newborns was 3,347.6gr. In that population 5.3% of the newborns were low birthweight infants, and 11.1% weighed 4,000gr or more. Male newborns weighed significantly more than female babies, and the same difference occurred between single and multiple births. The relationship between the newborn's birthweight and the kind of health security the mother had showed that the mothers who didn't pay any kind of health security had babies with lower birthweight than those of the mothers who subscribed to some health security scheme. The data showed that this population has a low incidence of low birthweight babies, with a distribution similar to that observed in developed countries.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Geographical stratification by socio-economic status: methodology from a household survey with elderly people in S. Paulo, Brazil(Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, 1989-12-01) Ramos, Luiz Roberto [UNIFESP]; Goihman, Samuel [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo Cooordenação do Programa de Saúde do Idoso; Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo Centro de Informação em SaúdeConsidering that in most developing countries there are still no comprehensive lists of addresses for a given geographical area, there has always been a problem in drawing samples from the community, ensuring randomisation in the selection of the subjects. This article discusses the geographical stratification by socio-economic status used to draw a multistage random sample from a community-based elderly population living in a city like S. Paulo - Brazil. Particular attention is given to the fact that the proportion of elderly people in the total population of a certain area appeared to be a good discriminatory variable for such stratification. The validity of the stratification method is analysed in the light of the socio-economic results obtained in the survey.
