- The contribution of intersectionality on understanding young men's health-disease and care in contexts of urban poverty(2020) OLIVEIRA, Elda de; COUTO, Marcia Thereza; SEPARAVICH, Marco Antonio Alves; LUIZ, Olinda do CarmoThis article analyzes the experiences of young men living in the city outskirts regarding social inequalities and their impacts on the health-disease-care production process. The empirical material that supports the intersectional analysis was produced with a qualitative methodology of research-action based on workshops, a group technique with participatory investigations. A total of 21 men and five women aged between 15 and 17 years who studied at a neighborhood public school of the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, state of Sao Paulo, participated in the study. The results highlight that young men share intertwined race-color, class, gender, and generation disadvantages that act in a complex way in the production of social and health inequalities. Therefore, analyses that restrict inequalities to a single classificatory system-class, gender, or race/color-are inadequate to understand the various dimensions that comprise them.
- Race and obesity in the black female population: a scoping review(2020) ORAKA, Claudia Simoes; FAUSTINO, Deivison Mendes; OLIVEIRA, Elda; TEIXEIRA, Joao Alexandre Mendes; SOUZA, Allex Sander Porfirio de; LUIZ, Olinda do CarmoAbout 40% of the world's population is overweight. Obesity is most prevalent among social strata with lower income and education. Although the association between sociodemographic factors and weight gain is well documented, few researchers associated obesity with race/color. This article aims to map the extent, scope, and nature of the association between obesity and race in the scientific literature by conducting a scoping review. Data sources were the Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), Web of Science, Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (Hinari), and Scopus databases, as well as the gray literature. In total, 2,526 articles were found. After duplicates were excluded and inclusion and exclusion criteria applied, 10 articles remained. Race, obesity, socioeconomic status, and gender are tied into a complex relationship whose specificity lies on the socio-historical context. Racial disparities in obesity may be explained by physiological, psychological, and cultural effects of stress due to racial discrimination. Although racial inequality happens everywhere, it assumes different forms. Considering that, further studies should approach regional differences.
