Adequate sleep, regular physical activity, and healthy eating are associated with lower risks of cardiometabolic outcomes. These behaviors are interdependent, but most evidence evaluates them independently and comes from high-income countries, with a scarcity of studies in Brazil considering their interactions. The aim of this study is to prospectively estimate the joint association of sl…
Physical activity has been associated with lower risk of several types of cancer. However, the type of physical activity and its optimum volume to reduce the risk of cancer is unknown. Recent epidemiological studies has suggested a protective effect of strength training on cancer prevention. This project of scientific iniciation aims to sinthesize and evaluate the epidemiological evidence…
The objectives of this post-doctoral project are (1) to estimate the effect of different types, intensities and periods of life of physical activity on the risk of cancer; (2) to evaluate the costs of the Brazilian public health system with the treatment of cancers that could potentially be saved by increasing physical activity. For the first objective of the project, we will use data fro…
Purpose: To investigate the current evidence on the association between physical inactivity and cancer incidence/mortality (Study 1) and the impact of this relationship on public health in Brazil (Studies 2 and 3). Methods: Study 1: we will performe a review (overview) of systematic reviews through a search on 5 databases with descriptors related to exposure ("physical inactivity") and ou…
This proposal consists of a research internship at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health under the supervision of Professor Edward Giovannucci from July 2017 to June 2018. The work plan prioritizes the research project development, which includes knowledge exchange in preventable cases estimates, literature review, statistical analyses, and writing a manuscript. There is also an i…
