Resumo: | Three birth cohorts are currently being followed in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, in order to assess changes in birth conditions, growth, development, morbidity, and infant mortality, as well as the influence of pre- and perinatal factors on the subsequent morbidity of participants in their adult lives. We provide a description of the methodology used for the cohort studies that began in 1982, 1993, and 2004 in Pelotas, and a description of the economic conditions of the families involved. For the three cohorts, similar strategies were used to recruit babies born to mothers living in the municipality's urban area. These included daily visits to maternity hospitals where births were identified, mothers interviewed, and newborns examined. Over this time frame, there has been a significant reduction in the number of births due to declining fertility rates amongst the target population. Salaries (measured as a multiple of the minimum wage) were stable across cohorts, but quality of life indicators - such as the availability of piped water, flushing toilets and refrigerators - showed clear improvements. Mothers' levels of education improved markedly. Important changes in the demographic profile of risk factors and health outcomes are being recorded by the Pelotas cohorts. |

O artigo descreve a metodologia utilizada para os estudos de coorte que se iniciaram em 1982, 1993 e 2004 em Pelotas, além das condições econômicas das famílias dos participantes. Nas três coortes, foram utilizadas estratégias semelhantes para recrutar crianças cujas mães residiam na área urbana do município, inclusive visitas diárias às maternidades para identificação dos nascimentos, entrevistas com as mães e exames neonatais. Ao longo desse período houve uma redução significativa no número de nascimentos, em função da queda na taxa de fecundidade na população. A renda familiar (medida como múltiplos do salário mínimo mensal) mostrou-se estável nas coortes, mas houve uma melhoria clara nos indicadores de qualidade de vida - tais como a disponibilidade e água encanada, vaso sanitário com descarga e geladeira. A escolaridade materna melhorou de maneira significativa. Estão sendo registradas mudanças importantes no perfil demográfico dos fatores de risco e dos desfechos de saúde nas coortes de nascimentos de Pelotas.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3786Reports in Public Health; Vol. 24 No. 15 (2008): Supplement 3Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 24 n. 15 (2008): Suplemento 31678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3786/7681https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3786/7682Barros, Aluísio J.
