OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between birth weight and bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescence. METHODS: A birth cohort study in São Luís, Maranhão, using data from two moments: at birth and at 18-19 years. Exposure was the birth weight in grams, continuously analyzed. The outcome was BMD, using the Z-score index (whole body) measured by double X-ray densitometry (Dexa). A theoretical model was constructed in acyclic graphs to identify the minimum set of adjustment variables - household income, the mother knowing how to read and write at the time of birth, prenatal care, tobacco use during pregnancy, and parity -- to evaluate the association between birth weight and bone mineral density in adolescence. Multiple linear regression was used in Stata 14.0 software. A 5% significance level was adopted. RESULTS: From 2,112 adolescents, 8.2% had low birth weight and 2.8% had a low BMD for their age. The mean full-body Z-score was 0.19 (± 1.00). The highest birth weight was directly and linearly associated with BMD values in adolescence (Coef.: 0.10; 95%CI: 0.02-0.18), even after adjustment for the variables household income (Coef.: -0.33; 95%CI: -0.66-0.33) and the mother knowing how to read and write (Coef.: 0.23%; 95%CI: 0.03-0.43). CONCLUSION: Although after adjusting the variables the association attenuated, birth weight positively and linearly relates to BMD in adolescence. DESCRIPTORS: Adolescent. Bone Density. Birth Weight.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between psychosis and body care. The experience report method was adopted, based on a work performed in a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS). Delusional contents may hamper health promotion. There is an important rate of clinical comorbidities in people diagnosed with chronic mental disorders, due to factors such as smoking, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and medication side effects. Mental Health is a clinic of subjects, of singularities that need to exist and coexist in a collective, which requires creativity and sensitivity that does not fit into protocols. We need to build a possible care, consistent with the means that enable each subject to be in the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
