Resumo: Recent reviews have discussed the conceptualization of race in health studies in Brazil. This review further documents and discusses specific measurement and modeling issues with regard to race and how this can impact result interpretation. Three scientific databases were used to search the literature on race and three health outcomes. The search yielded 38 empirical studies on birth outcomes, self-rated health, and weight. Results suggest that, while there are racial patterns in the overall literature, conceptual and methodological challenges can be addressed to clarify the ways in which racial group membership is linked to health.

Esta revisión documenta y discute temas específicos de medición y modelización con respecto a la raza y cómo esto puede impactar la interpretación de resultados. Tres bases de datos científicas fueron utilizadas para buscar la literatura sobre raza y tres resultados de salud. La búsqueda encontró 38 estudios empíricos sobre los resultados del nacimiento, la autoevaluación de la salud y el peso. Los resultados sugieren que, si bien hay patrones raciales en la literatura general, desafíos conceptuales y metodológicos pueden ser abordados para aclarar las formas en que la pertenencia a grupos raciales está vinculada a la salud.Recentes revisões têm discutido a conceitualização da raça em estudos sobre saúde no Brasil. Esta revisão descreve e discute temas específicos de medição e modelização de raça e como isso pode impactar a interpretação de resultados. Três bases de dados científicas foram usadas para buscar a literatura sobre raça e três resultados em saúde. A pesquisa encotnrou 38 estudos empíricos sobre os resultados do parto, auto-avaliação da saúde e peso. Os resultados sugerem que, embora existam padrões raciais na literatura em geral, os desafios conceituais e metodológicos podem ser abordados para esclarecer as formas em que a adesão ao grupo racial está ligada à saúde.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2017-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6460Reports in Public Health; Vol. 33 No. 13 (2017): Supplement 1Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 33 n. 13 (2017): Suplemento 11678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6460/13812https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6460/13813Margaret T.
