Quality of Life and Association with Running Habits in Middle-Aged Street Runners: A Cross-Sectional Study

The study aimed to assess quality of life (QOL) and its association with running habits in middle-aged street runners. This is a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 33 amateur street racers (20 men and 13 women), selected for convenience in a running group in Porto Alegre-RS. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all data collection was performed online. Two questionnaires, one to assess running habits, with objective questions about the time, weekly hours of practice, and weekly training frequency, and the other to assess QoL (WHOQOL-bref) were won. As a result, street runners’ pair good levels of overall QoL (average: 77 points), as well as in the different domains of QoL (physical domain: 80 points, psychological: 78 points, social: 76 points, and environmental: 75 points, in media). The time of practice was directly associated with higher scores in the overall QoL and physical domain (P <0.01) regardless of age, weekly hours, and weekly frequency. No associations existed between age and running habits in the psychological, social, and environmental domains. The street runners in the running group evaluated showed good QoL, especially in the physical, psychological and overall QoL domains, which was directly and positively associated with the time of practice in the modality

FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES E ALTERIDADE: EM BUSCA DE UMA APROXIMAÇÃO

Considerando a temática formação de professores, o presente artigo apresenta uma díade tarefa: a construção da noção de alteridade e, consequentemente, uma contextualização da contemporaneidade — (re)pensar a formação de professores a partir do conceito de alteridade. A concepção de alteridade é intuída como uma oportunidade para refletir sobre a educação como momento em que decidimos se amamos o mundo o bastante para assumirmos a responsabilidade por ele e, com tal gesto, ultrapassarmos o individualismo e o egocentrismo que o mundo pós-moderno nos dispõe. Para tanto, parte-se de uma revisão sobre o tema alteridade, avultando reflexões que buscam entrever a veemência da alteridade na formação de professores.Palavras-chave: Educação. Contemporaneidade. Formação de professores. Alteridade.

FORMAÇÃO DOS DOCENTES BRASILEIROS: IDENTIDADE E PROFISSIONALIZAÇÃO

Na contemporaneidade, a produção e a disseminação de informações têm repercutido no âmbito científico, inclusive no campo educacional. Partindo do pressuposto de que o fenômeno educacional é um fenômeno dependente da realidade social em determinado momento histórico, a análise de uma realidade histórica implica reconhecer sua estrutura, basicamente, em planos ou níveis inter-relacionados: econômico, político e ideológico. Considerando-se esses pressupostos, o presente artigo discute as repercussões das reformas educacionais sobre a identidade e a profissionalização docente, a fim de apontar novas exigências na formação de docentes na contemporaneidade. Para tanto, investe em uma revisão bibliográfica, vislumbrando um breve histórico da formação dos docentes no país, de modo a destacar a identidade e a profissionalização desses sujeitos, bem como seus desafios na sociedade contemporânea.Palavras-chave: História da Educação.

COMPOSIÇÃO CORPORAL E SUA RELAÇÃO COM A ESPESSURA DO MÚSCULO ADUTOR DO POLEGAR, ESTADO NUTRICIONAL E DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS NÃO-TRANSMISSÍVEIS EM IDOSOS ATENDIDOS NA ATENÇÃO BÁSICA

Objetivo: avaliar a relação entre a composição corporal e a espessura do músculo adutor do polegar, o estado nutricional e as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em idosos atendidos na atenção básica. Métodos: estudo transversal com idosos (≥ 60 anos de idade) que frequentam a Unidade Básica de Saúde de Doutor Ricardo/RS. As variáveis foram categorizadas em: perfis de população (sociodemográficos; estilo de vida; e doenças crônicas não transmissíveis–DCNT) e composição corporal (peso; estatura; Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC); estado nutricional; massa magra; massa gorda; densidade corporal; percentual de gordura corporal (%GC); espessura do músculo adutor do polegar (EMAP); e índice do músculo adutor do polegar (iMAP). Os dados foram analisados no software STATA versão 12.0, sendo significativo p<0,05. Resultados: participaram 41 idosos, 65,9% mulheres, prevalecendo sobrepeso (p=0,029) e %GC (p<0,001). Peso, IMC e circunferência de panturrilha (p<0,001) associaram-se ao estado nutricional. Idosas com Diabetes Mellitus apresentaram maior IMC, %GC e densidade corporal (p<0,05). Os homens eutróficos apresentaram maiores médias de IMC quando comparados com aqueles classificados com desnutrição de acordo com a classificação da EMAP avaliada na mão direita (p=0,047). Conclusão: observou-se maior prevalência de excesso de peso, relacionada ao risco de desenvolvimento de DCNT, sobretudo em mulheres. Idosos com menor IMC apresentaram desnutrição pela medida do EMAP e associação entre baixo peso e menor circunferência da panturrilha. Percentuais de gordura corporal confirmam a tendência de alteração de composição corporal característicos do envelhecimento

Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Background: In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of diseases and injuries. Methods: GBD estimates incidence, prevalence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to 369 diseases and injuries, for two sexes, and for 204 countries and territories. Input data were extracted from censuses, household surveys, civil registration and vital statistics, disease registries, health service use, air pollution monitors, satellite imaging, disease notifications, and other sources. Cause-specific death rates and cause fractions were calculated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model and spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression. Cause-specific deaths were adjusted to match the total all-cause deaths calculated as part of the GBD population, fertility, and mortality estimates. Deaths were multiplied by standard life expectancy at each age to calculate YLLs. A Bayesian meta-regression modelling tool, DisMod-MR 2.1, was used to ensure consistency between incidence, prevalence, remission, excess mortality, and cause-specific mortality for most causes. Prevalence estimates were multiplied by disability weights for mutually exclusive sequelae of diseases and injuries to calculate YLDs. We considered results in the context of the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite indicator of income per capita, years of schooling, and fertility rate in females younger than 25 years. Uncertainty intervals (UIs) were generated for every metric using the 25th and 975th ordered 1000 draw values of the posterior distribution. Findings: Global health has steadily improved over the past 30 years as measured by age-standardised DALY rates. After taking into account population growth and ageing, the absolute number of DALYs has remained stable. Since 2010, the pace of decline in global age-standardised DALY rates has accelerated in age groups younger than 50 years compared with the 1990–2010 time period, with the greatest annualised rate of decline occurring in the 0–9-year age group. Six infectious diseases were among the top ten causes of DALYs in children younger than 10 years in 2019: lower respiratory infections (ranked second), diarrhoeal diseases (third), malaria (fifth), meningitis (sixth), whooping cough (ninth), and sexually transmitted infections (which, in this age group, is fully accounted for by congenital syphilis; ranked tenth). In adolescents aged 10–24 years, three injury causes were among the top causes of DALYs: road injuries (ranked first), self-harm (third), and interpersonal violence (fifth). Five of the causes that were in the top ten for ages 10–24 years were also in the top ten in the 25–49-year age group: road injuries (ranked first), HIV/AIDS (second), low back pain (fourth), headache disorders (fifth), and depressive disorders (sixth). In 2019, ischaemic heart disease and stroke were the top-ranked causes of DALYs in both the 50–74-year and 75-years-and-older age groups. Since 1990, there has been a marked shift towards a greater proportion of burden due to YLDs from non-communicable diseases and injuries. In 2019, there were 11 countries where non-communicable disease and injury YLDs constituted more than half of all disease burden. Decreases in age-standardised DALY rates have accelerated over the past decade in countries at the lower end of the SDI range, while improvements have started to stagnate or even reverse in countries with higher SDI. Interpretation: As disability becomes an increasingly large component of disease burden and a larger component of health expenditure, greater research and developm nt investment is needed to identify new, more effective intervention strategies. With a rapidly ageing global population, the demands on health services to deal with disabling outcomes, which increase with age, will require policy makers to anticipate these changes. The mix of universal and more geographically specific influences on health reinforces the need for regular reporting on population health in detail and by underlying cause to help decision makers to identify success stories of disease control to emulate, as well as opportunities to improve.

Global age-sex-specific fertility, mortality, healthy life expectancy (HALE), and population estimates in 204 countries and territories, 1950-2019 : a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Background: Accurate and up-to-date assessment of demographic metrics is crucial for understanding a wide range of social, economic, and public health issues that affect populations worldwide. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 produced updated and comprehensive demographic assessments of the key indicators of fertility, mortality, migration, and population for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations from 1950 to 2019. Methods: 8078 country-years of vital registration and sample registration data, 938 surveys, 349 censuses, and 238 other sources were identified and used to estimate age-specific fertility. Spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression (ST-GPR) was used to generate age-specific fertility rates for 5-year age groups between ages 15 and 49 years. With extensions to age groups 10–14 and 50–54 years, the total fertility rate (TFR) was then aggregated using the estimated age-specific fertility between ages 10 and 54 years. 7417 sources were used for under-5 mortality estimation and 7355 for adult mortality. ST-GPR was used to synthesise data sources after correction for known biases. Adult mortality was measured as the probability of death between ages 15 and 60 years based on vital registration, sample registration, and sibling histories, and was also estimated using ST-GPR. HIV-free life tables were then estimated using estimates of under-5 and adult mortality rates using a relational model life table system created for GBD, which closely tracks observed age-specific mortality rates from complete vital registration when available. Independent estimates of HIV-specific mortality generated by an epidemiological analysis of HIV prevalence surveys and antenatal clinic serosurveillance and other sources were incorporated into the estimates in countries with large epidemics. Annual and single-year age estimates of net migration and population for each country and territory were generated using a Bayesian hierarchical cohort component model that analysed estimated age-specific fertility and mortality rates along with 1250 censuses and 747 population registry years. We classified location-years into seven categories on the basis of the natural rate of increase in population (calculated by subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate) and the net migration rate. We computed healthy life expectancy (HALE) using years lived with disability (YLDs) per capita, life tables, and standard demographic methods. Uncertainty was propagated throughout the demographic estimation process, including fertility, mortality, and population, with 1000 draw-level estimates produced for each metric. Findings: The global TFR decreased from 2·72 (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 2·66–2·79) in 2000 to 2·31 (2·17–2·46) in 2019. Global annual livebirths increased from 134·5 million (131·5–137·8) in 2000 to a peak of 139·6 million (133·0–146·9) in 2016. Global livebirths then declined to 135·3 million (127·2–144·1) in 2019. Of the 204 countries and territories included in this study, in 2019, 102 had a TFR lower than 2·1, which is considered a good approximation of replacement-level fertility. All countries in sub-Saharan Africa had TFRs above replacement level in 2019 and accounted for 27·1% (95% UI 26·4–27·8) of global livebirths. Global life expectancy at birth increased from 67·2 years (95% UI 66·8–67·6) in 2000 to 73·5 years (72·8–74·3) in 2019. The total number of deaths increased from 50·7 million (49·5–51·9) in 2000 to 56·5 million (53·7–59·2) in 2019. Under-5 deaths declined from 9·6 million (9·1–10·3) in 2000 to 5·0 million (4·3–6·0) in 2019. Global population increased by 25·7%, from 6·2 billion (6·0–6·3) in 2000 to 7·7 billion (7·5–8·0) in 2019. In 2019, 34 countries had negative natural rates of increase; in 17 of these, the population declined because immigration was not sufficient to counteract the negative rate of decline. Globally, HALE increased from 58·6 years (56·1–60·8) in 2000 to 63·5 years (60·8–66·1) in 2019. HALE increased in 202 of 204 countries and territories between 2000 and 2019
