Aims: knowledge of the patient’s profile, for the evaluation and suggested behaviors, promotes a favorable outcome. Thus, the objective of the study is to analyze the socioeconomic, clinical, and immunological characteristics of patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus in the western region of the state of Pará.Methods: were analyzed 1966 medical records of patients whose first visit to a reference center, in the municipality of Santarém-PA, was between 1998 and 2018. Socioeconomic, clinical, and immunological information was collected from patient medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, adopting p <0.05.Results: there was a predominance of males (62.5%), aged 20-39 years (69.1%), elementary school (58.6%), single (57.3%), and employed (66.4%). Immunosuppression was present in 22% of patients and a viral load was detectable in 66%. Tuberculosis (37%) and toxoplasmosis (23%) predominated as opportunistic infections, and syphilis (62.6%) and human papillomavirus (HPV; 14%) as other infections.Conclusions: it is concluded that both opportunistic infections and other infections were present in 25-22% of the patients and that the presence of opportunistic infections favors the installation of another infection, or vice versa. Toxoplasmosis, HPV, and syphilis are positively associated with men, and toxoplasmosis and tuberculosis with age >35 years. Immunosuppression was shown to be positively associated with men and age >35 years, as well as favoring the onset of tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, and detectable viral load.
Introdução: O acompanhamento dos escolares quanto a instalação do excesso de peso é de fundamental importância, visto os problemas que podem decorrer desse excesso na vida adulta. Objetivo: O presente estudo analisou o índice de massa corporal de estudantes de uma escola privada do interior do Pará, no período de 3 anos. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 269 alunos de 6ª a 8ª série, matriculados de 2011 a 2013. Os estudantes foram divididos em três grupos para serem avaliados: o G1 (alunos avaliados da 6ª à 8ª série); o G2 (alunos avaliados da 7ª à 9ª série); e o G3 (alunos avaliados da 8ª série ao 1º ano). Os escolares foram avaliados quanto à massa corporal, estatura e índice de massa corporal (IMC). Os dados foram analisados quanto à normalidade e adotou-se a correlação de Pearson para os dados paramétricos e de Spearman para os dados não paramétricos. O nível de significância adotado foi de p<0.05 e o software utilizado foi o Graphpad Prism. Resultados: Foi observado nos resultados correlação positiva para estatura e massa corporal nos 3 grupos e do IMC para o G2, além do mais,houve redução no sobrepeso/obesidade de 8% no G1 ao longo dos 3 anos, de 5% do sobrepeso/obesidade no G2 e no G3 foi notada a menor redução no excesso de peso, 2%. Conclusão: Conforme o método proposto, que o excesso de peso entre os estudantes, no período de 3 anos, oscilou de 28% a 37%, com predomínio de obesidade no gênero masculino.
