Resumo: | Using data from the World Health Survey carried out in Brazil in 2003, this paper has the objective of describing the sociodemographic profile of Brazilian women (age 18-69 years of age) that have adequate health care, not only with respect to health service utilization but also to healthy lifestyles. Sociodemographic variables (age, marital status, race, education level, number of household assets, and occupation), health care variables (periodic gynecologic exam with Papanicolaou, mammography among women aged 40-69 years, body mass index, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, dental care, private health insurance), and self-rated health were analyzed by municipality size strata. Logistic regression models were used to identify the characteristics of women that have adequate health care. Coverage of periodic gynecologic exam with Papanicolaou was 65.0% and mammography coverage was 47.0%. Less than 20.0% of Brazilian women have adequate care, and the most associated factors were: being younger than 40 years old, having higher educational level, having private health insurance and being married. The results indicate the need to develop health promotion policies focused on modifying the risk habits and risk practices to health, and to stimulate preventive periodic health exams. |

As variáveis sócio-demográficas (idade, situação conjugal, grau de instrução, bens no domicílio e cor da pele), de cuidados com a saúde (exame ginecológico com Papanicolau, mamografia em mulheres de 40 a 69 anos, índice de massa corpórea, fumo, álcool, atividade física, saúde oral, plano privado) e auto-avaliação da saúde foram analisadas segundo estrato de tamanho do município. Utilizando modelos de regressão logística foram identificadas as características das mulheres que têm cuidados adequados com a sua saúde. A cobertura do exame ginecológico periódico com Papanicolaou foi de 65,0% enquanto a da mamografia foi de 47,0%. Menos do que 20,0% das mulheres têm cuidados adequados com a saúde, sendo que os fatores mais associados foram: ter menos de quarenta anos, melhor grau de instrução, plano de saúde e ser casada. Os resultados indicam a necessidade do desenvolvimento de políticas direcionadas a modificar os hábitos e práticas de risco à saúde e incentivar os exames preventivos periódicos.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2676Reports in Public Health; Vol. 21 No. 7 (2005): Supplement 1Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 21 n. 7 (2005): Suplemento 11678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2676/5376https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2676/5377Leal, Maria do CarmoGama, Silvana Granado Nogueira daFrias, PauloSzwarcwald, Célia Landmanninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:09Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/2676Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:07.301945Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
