Oferta e participação nas práticas corporais e atividades físicas na Atenção Primária: análise de 2014 a 2022

Objective: to analyze the temporal trend and macro-regional distribution of the offer of collective activities of body practices and physical activities (BPPA) and the number of participants in Primary Health Care (PHC), developed by all health professionals and by Physical Education Professionals (PEF). Methods: ecological time series study, using data from the Health Information System for PHC (Sisab) between 2014 and 2022, using Joinpoint regression analysis. Results: at the national level, an increase in the number of collective BPPA and PHC participants developed by all health professionals and by PEF was identified between 2014 and 2019, followed by a reduction in both in 2020. In 2021 and 2022 further increases occurred. Conclusion: even though the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, an exceptional scenario and upward trends were identified both in the offer of collective BPPA and participants.Objetivo: analisar a tendência temporal e distribuição macrorregional da oferta de atividades coletivas de práticas corporais e atividades físicas (PCAF) e do número de participantes na Atenção Primária (APS), desenvolvidas por todos os profissionais de saúde e por Profissionais de Educação Física (PEF). Métodos: estudo ecológico de série temporal, usando dados do Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (Sisab) entre 2014 e 2022, por meio da análise de regressão Joinpoint. Resultados: em âmbito nacional, identificou-se aumento do quantitativo de atividades coletivas de PCAF e de participantes na APS desenvolvidas por todos os profissionais de saúde e por PEF entre 2014 e 2019, seguido de uma redução de ambos em 2020. Em 2021 e 2022 ocorreu novo aumento. Conclusão: ainda que tenha ocorrido a pandemia da Covid-19, um cenário de excepcionalidade, foram identificadas tendências de aumento tanto na oferta de atividades coletivas de PCAF quanto de participantes

Dementia in Latin America : paving the way towards a regional action plan

Regional challenges faced by Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACs) to fight dementia, such as heterogeneity, diversity, political instabilities, and socioeconomic disparities, can be addressed more effectively grounded in a collaborative setting based on the open exchange of knowledge. In this work, the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium on Dementia (LAC-CD) proposes an agenda for integration to deliver a Knowledge to Action Framework (KtAF). First, we summarize evidence-based strategies (epidemiology, genetics, biomarkers, clinical trials, nonpharmacological interventions, networking and translational research) and align them to current global strategies to translate regional knowledge into actions with transformative power. Then, by characterizing genetic isolates, admixture in populations, environmental factors, and barriers to effective interventions and mapping these to the above challenges, we provide the basic mosaics of knowledge that will pave the way towards a KtAF. We describe strategies supporting the knowledge creation stage that underpins the translational impact of KtAF
