Variants in genes involved in the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the host cell (ACE1 rs1799752 I/D, ACE2 rs2285666 C/T, ACE2 rs73635825 A/G and TMPRSS2 rs123297605 C/T), were genotyped in indigenous peoples from the Brazilian Amazon, treated during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic between 2020 and 2021. The distribution of genotypes did not show any association with the presence or absence of IgG antibodies. Additionally, the influence of genetic variations on the severity of the disease was not examined extensively because a significant number of indigenous individuals experienced the disease with either mild symptoms or no symptoms. It is worth noting that the frequencies of risk alleles were found to be lower in Indigenous populations compared to both continental populations and Brazilians. Indigenous Brazilian Amazon people exhibited an ethnic-specific genetic profile that may be associated with a milder disease, which could explain the unexpected response they demonstrated to COVID-19, being less impacted than Brazilians.
Health of the Black Population: challenges for building equity in health The Thematic Dossier on ... more Health of the Black Population: challenges for building equity in health The Thematic Dossier on the Health of the Black Population is one of the action fronts of the Racism and Health Work Group (WG) of the Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva (ABRASCO). It seeks to increase the visibility of ethnic-racial inequities in health based on the scientific production of black and non-black researchers, and foster collaboration networks at national and international level and, thus, strengthen the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of the Black Population (PNSIPN) and the SUS. The WG takes this opportunity to thank the Ibirapitanga Institute, which financed this project, in addition to several other actions that have contributed to broadening debates on public policies and the health of the black population. Scientific publications that address ethnic-racial inequities in health are still incipient, a reflection of the "pact of whiteness" and institutional racism. In this way, the publication of a thematic dossier that brings together evidence of the effects of racism on the health of the black Brazilian population represents the day-today resilience of researchers, intellectuals and social movements. In effect, structural and structuring racism produces social asymmetries, negatively impacts the living and health conditions of discriminated populations and/or hinders the dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge. This dossier consists of 18 articles and a review. The first five articles address general epidemiological aspects such as the incompleteness of filling out the race/color question in health systems, factors associated with the murder of women in Brazil according to the race/color question, ethnic-racial disparities in premature births, racial inequity in mortality by cervical cancer, and potential years of life lost by COvID-19 according to race/color and gender in Brazil. Corroborating the topical nature of the issue, some of these aspects were recently presented in two epidemiological bulletins published by the Ministry of Health, which are the first to focus specifically on the health of the black population. Articles six to nine address the oral health of the black population, a topic that is still scantly covered in academic productions, including: a systematic review on oral health and racial inequities; an article on the anti-racist ethos in public oral health; another on oral health and sickle cell disease; and, lastly, therapeutic itineraries in oral health for quilombolas. These are followed by three papers that discuss the impacts of structural racism on the health of quilombola groups, which represent the segment with the worst epidemiological indicators of the national black population. These texts address racism and food insecurity, the syndemic of COvID-19, vaccination and fake news. The following three discuss the impacts of COvID-19 on the black population, which was disproportionately affected by the pandemic in Brazil 1. The following four articles take a qualitative approach to various topics related to the consequences of structural racism among people with sickle cell disease, among black female health professionals, in the permanence of university students and in the relationship between public security agents and young people from the suburbs. The last work discusses forms of black resistance and the anti-colonial sanatorium movement as a strategy for decolonizing Psychiatric Reform. The dossier ends with a review of the book Pacto da Branquitude by Cida Bento, written by the president of ABRASCO, Rosana Onocko Campos. If history, speeches, data, narratives and social representations remain in dispute, the Racism and Health WG adopts a political position and is dedicated to the defense of human rights by promoting the visibility of these productions with a view to reducing vulnerabilities, as well as promoting equity and the democratization of the health.

This article analyzed the spatial distribution of this disease and its relationship with socioeconomic, environmental and public health policy variables in four mesoregions of the state of Pará, from 2011 to 2022. This ecological study used secondary data obtained from official Brazilian agencies. Spatial analysis was performed using the Flow, Kernel and Global Moran bivariate techniques expressed in thematic maps. In the mesoregions studied, 2685 cases of the disease were confirmed, with the highest number of cases in Southeast Pará state. The epidemiological profile followed the
national pattern of occurrence of the disease, with a higher number of cases in children below school age. Spatial dependence was observed between the prevalence of the disease and socio-economic indicators. The most intense movement of patients was towards the Belém Metropolitan mesoregion The disease showed an inhomogeneous pattern of distribution of cases, with a direct relationship
between areas with cases and deforestation associated with different anthropic activities. There is a socio-environmental production of the disease that goes beyond the border limits of the mesoregions and its establishment is related to the unsustainable development model implemented in the region.

Essas doenças têm maior impacto biopsicossocial em populações mais vulnerabilizadas em suas condições de vida e saúde. Neste artigo objetiva-se analisar os fatores associados a DCNT mais prevalentes em quilombolas do semiárido baiano, em 2016. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado com 864 quilombolas, ≥ 18 anos, residentes na zona rural de Feira de Santana-BA. Os dados foram obtidos de um instrumento validado, contendo perguntas sobre condições socioeconômicas, demográficas, ambientais, de saúde, doenças e agravos. Foi ajustado o modelo de Poisson hierarquizado para identificar os fatores associados às DCNT, dessas, as mais prevalentes foram: Hipertensão Arterial (22,3%), Doenças Cardíacas (5,9%) e Doenças do Aparelho Circulatório (7,5%), e Diabetes (7,8%). Os fatores associados significativamente à DCNT no modelo hierarquizado foram: faixa etária 50 anos ou + (IC: 2,6–8,1); quantidade de cômodos da casa (IC: 0,7–0,9); uso de medicamento (IC: 5,5-13,2); procura pelo serviço de saúde (IC: 0,7-0,9). Conclui-se que, mesmo os quilombolas apresentando fatores associados às DCNT similares aos observados na população geral, verifica-se que a magnitude dessas doenças nessa população apresenta-se maior potencial de impacto negativo na qualidade de vida desses sujeitos.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as condições de vida, saúde e morbidade referidas pelas comunidades quilombolas do semiárido baiano. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado nas comunidades quilombolas de Matinha dos Pretos e Lagoa Grande no município de Feira de Santana (BA), com indivíduos adultos (≥ 18 anos). Os dados foram coletados por meio da aplicação de três instrumentos e analisados utilizando-se o pacote estatístico Stata 14.0. Resultados: dos 864 entrevistados, 63,0% são do sexo feminino; 47,8%, casados, apresentando uma média de idade de 42,6 anos (IC 95%: 41,1 – 44,2), e de escolaridade, variando de 6 a 7 anos de estudo em média.

Este artigo apresenta alguns dados disponibilizados em plataformas públicas oficiais sobre a situação da COVID-19, analisa o processo de enfrentamento pelos governos centrais em Cabo Verde e no Brasil e discute como as políticas sociais e de saúde executadas por cada país repercutiram no impacto epidemiológico ao longo do primeiro ano da pandemia, buscando exemplificar como a tomada de decisão sobre a condução das políticas públicas influencia a morbidade e mortalidade nos dois países. Apesar das limitações analíticas em face a uma crise global ainda em andamento, esperamos que este trabalho contribua para ampliar as pesquisas comparativas entre países lusófonos do Cone Sul e para demonstrar a importância da gestão política para o enfrentamento desta doença e das que possam emergir futuramente.

The human osteological collection, also affected, was one of the largest and oldest in the country, holding over two thousand entries from prehistoric to historic sites, including some international donations. The oldest remains were those of “Luzia”, dating to 11.5 thousand years. While part of the collection was recovered from the debris, the bones were mostly warped and damaged by the fire, making the possibility of identification uncertain. Therefore, this collection is now inadequate for regular forensic and bioarchaeological studies. Considering the need for the construction of a new human osteological collection, especially with forensic perspectives, we conducted a survey of Brazilian national and local (capitals of the Southeast region) legislation, regarding donation and institutionalization of human...

Participaram 30 mulheres que vivenciavam o cuidado em saúde. Os dados foram produzidos a partir de entrevistas individuais, submetidos à Análise Temática e discutidos à luz da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Resultados as representações foram organizadas em três dimensões: afetiva, a mais representativa, em que se ancoraram relações de afeto e sentimentos; social, na qual o cuidado foi apreendido como prática inerente à mulher; e biológica, sendo o cuidado compreendido como cuidados gerais de prevenção e tratamento de doenças. Conclusões e implicações para a prática as representações do cuidado em saúde evidenciaram forte carga afetiva, denotando um sentido de preservação da vida e do am...
