It is necessary to consider changes in eating habits and lifestyle, as well as possible environmental and social changes that can affect this and other groups, with emphasis on those who live in vulnerable conditions. The risks associated with pre-diabetes and diabetes among the Munduruku indigenous people revealed a worrying index. The variables associated with the risk for pre-diabetes were the following: age (OR = 1.03 95% CI = 1.00 – 1.06) and obesity (OR = 9.69 95% CI = 1.28 – 73.58). The associations were assessed by multinomial logistic regression, and p-values≤0.05 were considered significant.įor pre-diabetes, prevalence was 74.3% and, for diabetes, 12.2%. Fasting capillary blood glucose was measured with a digital device. Sociodemographic and anthropometric variables, blood pressure levels and lipid profile were evaluated. Future research might look for continuities and disparities between indigenous social media communication and content on indigenous issues produced by other relevant parties.To evaluate the glycemic profile and its association with sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinical and lifestyle factors of Munduruku indigenous people.Ĭross-sectional study with a quantitative and analytical approach, a total of 459 indigenous people (57.1% men, aged 36.3 ± 14.7 years old) belonging to the Munduruku ethnic group from the Kwatá-Laranjal Indigenous Land, in Amazonas, Brazil, were selected by probabilistic sampling in all households in the four most populous villages. While the conclusions were interesting, it became clear that the differences between newspaper and social media content necessitate a fresh approach because social media content has a different aim and seeks to address a different audience. The Facebook posts of six indigenous organisations were examined, using the same criteria as for the print media analysis.

Search terms were devised corresponding to the thematic concerns of the Indigenous Brazil Violated project.Ī second, pilot study, examined the use of social media by indigenous organisations during the same period. Also a small number of regional newspapers was searched, A Crítica and Em Tempo for Amazonas, A Gazeta de Cuiabá for Mato Grosso and Correio do Estado for Mato Grosso do Sul.

The newspapers searched were O Globo, Estadão and Folha de S.Paulo.

Media Analysis was carried out by searching the archives of leading Brazilian national print newspapers for the period January 2016 to May 2020.
