Our objective was to describe the level of anxiety of students from Marabá, Pará and to make comparisons by gender and age. We interviewed 48 students, 56% female, aged between 18 and 29 years, from a public school, in last year of high school and/or students of vestibular preparatory courses. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used as an assessment tool. It was identified that 14 subjects (29.17%) students had low level of anxiety and 34 subjects (70.83%) students had a medium level of anxiety. In addition, there was no significant difference in anxiety levels in relation to the sex or age. We concluded that the majority of students (70.83%) has a mean level of anxiety without differences between gender and age. Developing methods for students to be able to have more skills in dealing with anxiety and stress can contribute to the decrease in their anxiety levels.

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects more than 415 million people worldwide. Some risk factors to consider among children are poor diet, obesity, physical inactivity, family history, if the mother has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus and early weaning. Our objective was to propose a non-lab pre-screening test for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus among preschoolers aged 3 to 6 years old in the Amazon region, Maraba, Brazil. Our sample comprised (N=425) children enrolled in a public preschool and their respective caregivers/parents. A discriminant analysis was used to test the score's ability to maximize the differences between groups according to the relation to the risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. Our results suggested that our proposed pre-screening test for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus-using assessment of risk factors is as simple as statistically significant based on heredity, overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, and habit of intake high-calorie foods. The proposed pre-screening test for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus using assessment of risk factors is a simple as statistically significant method for potentially identifying children at risk for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus in schools.
