“…Almost 90.0% of the women did not smoke or drink alcohol 4 . Nevertheless, another study found excessive alcohol consumption perceived as an essential issue among indigenous people 23 . However, indigenous women's alcohol use is at an early stage 17,23,24 .…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to describe the anthropometric characteristics, eating habits, and lifestyle of non-village indigenous women living in Manaus, AM, and their association with hypertension. METHODS: This cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study was carried out from January 2020 to December 2021 using a questionnaire for clinical, sociodemographic, and behavioral data. Non-pregnant women who belonged to Parque das Tribos for more than a year, declared themselves indigenous, and were over 18 years of age were included in the study. RESULTS: In total, 21 ethnicities were identified, and 95 indigenous women were evaluated. The average age group was 36±12.1 years, the average height was 157 cm, and the body mass index was 28.8 kg/m 2 . The prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension was ±40%, and 68.5% had excess weight, with 29.1% having class I obesity. In all, 35.8% consumed a lot of salt, sugar, and industrialized foods, and 88.4% were sedentary. CONCLUSION: Much of the sample presented excess weight, and almost all were sedentary. More than one-third had unappropriated eating habits. Hypertension was present in more than one-third of these indigenous women. There was an association between higher body mass index and hypertension. Knowing the characteristics of this group of non-village indigenous women may help determine the best health approach. The data demonstrate the necessity of preventive measures.

“…However, accurately measuring self‐reported alcohol use is challenging and costly in any population. 5 These challenges are amplified when surveying populations that are culturally distinct from majority populations, 6 or who experience discrimination and stigma, which can make conversations about drinking threatening. 7 Due to these challenges, policy makers have often relied on national estimates of drinking risk for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.…”

We examined acceptability and feasibility of a tablet application ('App') to record selfreported alcohol consumption among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Four communities (1 urban; 3 regional/remote) tested the App, with 246 adult participants (132 males, 114 females). The App collected a) completion time; b) participant feedback; c) staff observations. Three research assistants were interviewed. Only six (1.4 %) participants reported that the App was 'hard' to use.Participants appeared engaged, to require minimal assistance; and nearly half verbally reflected on their drinking or drinking of others. The App has potential for surveys, screening or health promotion.
