Prevenção doenças cardiovasculares e promoção da saúde
Não há o que discutir sobre a oportunidade do tema tendo em vista a mobilização mundial para a reunião de alto nível das Nações Unidas, em Nova York, em setembro passado, quando será debatida a inclusão, entre os objetivos do milênio, do importante conjunto de doenças omitido na virada do século. Para esse conjunto, do qual faz parte o capítulo das enfermidades do aparelho circulatório, cogita-se num rótulo alternativo, pela insatisfação já denunciada quanto às mudanças de designações utilizadas, separadamente ou associadas: doenças crônicas, degenerativas, ou não-transmissíveis. São doenças com características comuns, frequentemente superpostas, quanto a seus fatores de risco, e determinantes.
O domínio da saúde não está isento de preconceitos. Há meio século essas doenças eram consideradas como mazelas exclusivas de indivíduos ricos, até se reconhecer sua presença e importância também em populações de países que se chamavam do terceiro mundo ou em desenvolvimento, cujos problemas prioritários eram as doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, desnutrição e mortalidade infantil. Tais preconceitos não foram de todo superados, a ver pelos "objetivos do milênio", e pela submissão à literatura científica como sendo exclusividade dos mais desenvolvidos.
Sem dúvida, foram importantes as contribuições científicas e aplicações tão bem analisadas no artigo, mas fica-se com a impressão que o resto do mundo ficou esperando para se espelhar naquelas experiências de sucesso.
Como testemunha ocular e protagonista da caminhada conceitual e de abordagem prática que se fez a partir de 1970 - aqui e pelo mundo afora - sinto-me no dever de acrescentar algumas contribuições mesmo não podendo desenvolvê-las no formato desta discussão. Podem servir como estímulo para pesquisar além das bases de dados acessíveis pela Internet; o que me lembra as discussões que levaram a coleções como as da Bireme, construídas neste meio tempo para permitir o acesso a publicações valiosas cuja memória vai se perdendo por não estarem no fluxo central da literatura. É pena que os filtros existentes nem sempre satisfaçam para separar o "joio do trigo"./.../

Here’s a round-up of Data Insights — our bite-sized format on how the world is changing — published by our team in the past seven days. |

Over the last twenty years, plastic waste recycling has considerably increased worldwide, as the chart shows.
OECD countries in the European Union, India, and China have spearheaded this growth. By 2019, recycling rates were 12–13%. Non-OECD Asian countries and Latin America have also made headway, but more slowly.
The United States and the Middle East & North Africa region have seen more sluggish advances, with the US only managing to reach a 4.5% recycling rate by 2019, according to the OECD data.
Different regional strategies and capacities have led to markedly different outcomes in plastic waste management. |

The “modal age at death” is the most common age at which people in a population die. The modal age at death for women in Japan in 2021 was 93. In France, it was 92.
This metric helps us understand trends in longevity at older ages. Unlike life expectancy, it is not affected by infant or child mortality.
You can see that over time, the figure has been rising steadily. In France in 1970, the modal age at death was 84 years for women, but now it is 8 years higher.
Large gains in longevity have occurred even among the elderly. |

The peak flowering of cherry trees in Kyoto, Japan, has been recorded since the ninth century. Yasuyuki Aono and colleagues from the Osaka Prefecture University collated this data from historical diaries and chronicles, indicating the dates on which cherry blossom viewing parties had been held or other observations of peak blossom.
In 2023, the peak cherry blossom happened on 25 March — the earliest date since recording began.
This long-run data is a proxy measure for how the climate has changed. The onset of the cherry blossom is linked with warmer temperatures. The combined effects of urbanization and higher temperatures due to climate change have caused the peak blossom to gradually move earlier in the year since the early 20th century. |

Two centuries ago, about one in three children in Sweden died before they were five years old, as you can see on the chart.
Since then, the child mortality rate in Sweden has declined to 0.2%.
South Korea achieved a similar reduction much faster. This is often the case: those countries that first achieve an improvement in living conditions often need much longer than some of those countries catching up later — countries that catch up can learn from what worked elsewhere. |

How much have temperatures risen in countries across the world?
By: Veronika Samborska, March 18, 2024 In 2015, countries across the world adopted the Paris Agreement, agreeing on a goal to limit global warming “well below 2°C” above pre-industrial temperatures while “pursuing efforts” to limit warming to 1.5°C.
These targets are set based on the rise in the global average temperature. That’s the metric that most organizations use to track our global climate trajectory. We present these global time series on Our World in Data.
However, climate change does not affect all areas of the globe uniformly. Some regions are warming faster than others, which matters for local ecosystems, weather patterns, and human impacts.1
To allow people to track temperature changes across the globe, we've made this data explorable at the national level. We have relied on the excellent data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA5 project to do this.2
This comprehensive dataset provides high-resolution (31-kilometer square) climate records that include a wide range of atmospheric, ocean-wave, and land-surface variables.3 We’ve used its 2-meter air surface temperature records, which include measurements across land, sea, and inland waters.4
The ERA5 data is structured in a gridded format. We’ve converted this into country-level data using the World Bank's country outlines, making adjustments for geographical disparities from Earth’s curvature. I’ve included some extra details on our methods in the footnotes.5
We will update this article monthly with new data.
Monthly temperature anomalies by country
The main metric we use to track global warming is the temperature anomaly.6 This doesn’t tell us the absolute temperature in a given month, but how different it is compared to historical temperatures. In climate research, temperature anomalies are considered a key metric since they tell us about changes over time.7
This anomaly has to be measured relative to a temperature baseline. This baseline is usually established by averaging over several decades of temperature data. A positive anomaly indicates temperatures are warmer than the baseline, whereas a negative anomaly shows cooler conditions. For our analysis, we selected the 1991–2020 period as the reference, which is the ECMF’s default baseline period. So, when we talk about an anomaly in “March,” for example, it means how much the temperature in March of a particular year differs from the average March temperature between 1991 and 2020.
The interactive map below shows monthly temperature anomalies by country. This data can be explored from 1940 onwards using the time slider below the map. You can also explore the annual temperature anomalies data here.
The chart below lets you explore these temperature anomalies over time. Each line represents the temperature anomaly in a given year. You can also explore this data by decade.
