O objetivo foi investigar distúrbios do sono e fatores sociodemográficos comportamentais associados. Foi realizado um censo com universitários. Perguntas extraídas Munich Chronotype Questionnaire investigaram: duração insuficiente (< 6 horas/dia para < 65 anos 5 os demais), latência longa (> 30 minutos), baixa qualidade autopercebida, despertares noturnos (involuntários, no meio da noite) sonolência diurna (dificuldade de concentração). Variáveis independentes englobaram...
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é estimar a prevalência de depressão e seus fatores associados em idosos residentes da zona rural do município Rio Grande/RS. Neste transversal base populacional realizado com 994 (≥ 60 anos), cuja amostragem foi baseada no Censo Demográfico 2010, utilizou-se o “Patient Health Questionnaire 9” (PHQ-9) para rastreio Episódio Depressivo Maior (EDM). Foram realizadas análises descritiva, bivariada multivariável, uso regressão logística. A geral 8,1%. As variáveis...

Abstract: Dietary patterns significantly impact health outcomes and gut microbiota composition. However, longitudinal studies associating ultra-processed food consumption with composition, especially among adolescents in low- middle-income countries, are lacking. This study aimed to explore this association using data collected from 364 participants at ages 6, 11, 12 years the 2004 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort. Microbiota was obtained age after 16S rRNA gene sequencing of self-collected...
RESUMO: Intervenções meditativas têm sido utilizadas nas universidades para reduzir estresse. Este trabalho objetivou investigar o efeito de um treino meditação focada seis semanas no estresse (utilizando Inventário Sintomas Estresse da Lipp) e mindfulness disposicional Questionário das Cinco Facetas Mindfulness versão Brasileira) em universitários. Um ensaio controlado não randomizado comparou grupo experimental lista espera antes após a intervenção. Apenas reduziu presença fases...
Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between sleep in early life and ADHD adolescence. As a secondary analysis, we tested whether associations may be specific ADHD. Method: Data from 3,467 participants of 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort were used. Information on their duration problems was collected at 12, 24, 48 months age. diagnosis hyperactivity/inattention assessed with Development Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) Strengths Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) among 11 years Results:...
To evaluate the shared genetic components, common pathways and causal relationship between ADHD sleep-related phenotypes. We used largest genome-wide association summary statistics available for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) various phenotypes (insomnia, napping, daytime dozing, snoring, ease getting up, sleepiness, sleep duration chronotype). estimated genomic correlation using cross-trait linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSR) investigated potential mechanisms...
Participatory learning and action cycles with women’s groups have been recommended by the WHO to promote maternal newborn health, but few studies tested its feasibility acceptability in mobile health (mHealth) interventions among mothers of toddlers. This was a mixed-method assessment an 8-week WhatsApp-based support group for toddlers (12–18 months age) enrolled birth cohort study Southern Brazil. Daily messages weekly activities were sent moderators maternal–child outcomes: child...
Circadian and sleep disorders, short duration, evening chronotype are often present in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). CLOCK, considered the master gene circadian rhythm, has been explored by few studies. Understanding relationship between ADHD CLOCK may provide additional information to understand correlation problems. In this study, we aimed explore association using several genetic markers comprehensively cover extension. A total of 259 children their parents from a...

Objectives MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important regulatory role in the expression of genes involved brain functions during development. Genetic variants miRNA may impact their function and lead to psychiatric disorders. To evaluate genetic miRNAs differentially expressed neurodevelopment on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD), schizophrenia (SCZ), major depressive (MDD).Methods The were identified literature.
