Introdução: A evolução dos casos da COVID-19 no Brasil se apresentou de forma complexa, com muitas diferenças entre as regiões do país. O estudo objetiva traçar o perfil epidemiológico da doença no estado de Alagoas, Brasil. Delineamento:Trata-se de uma pesquisa observacional, descritiva, retrospectiva e com abordagem quantitativa, realizado no estado de Alagoas, Brasil. A coleta foi realizada diante dos informes publicados pela Secretaria Estadual de Saúde de Alagoas (SESAU/AL) com a inclusão dos dados de até 30/07/2020. Investigou-se sexo, faixa etária (em anos), raça, comorbidades, além da frequência de casos confirmados cumulativamente e óbitos segundo semana epidemiológica de confirmação. Os dados foram agrupados no Microsoft Excel® a partir de uma análise descritiva. Resultados: Foram registrados 58.979 casos confirmados e 1.554 óbitos. Os óbitos ocorreram em maior concentração na semana 31, em pessoas pardas, idosos, sexo masculino e com comorbidades. Implicações: o conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico da COVID-19 no estado de Alagoas evidencia a necessidade de constante monitoramento dos casos, fortalecimento da vigilância em saúde, aumento das medidas de contenção ao vírus, além de implementação de estratégias que levem em consideração os grupos mais vulneráveis à infecção.

Background and Objective: Perimenopause is a physiological occurrence in women, and is characterized by endocrine and biochemical changes. During perimenopause phase, many derangements or abnormal health conditions start developing as a result of hormonal changes. These derangements in health conditions and biochemical changes lead to higher incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) occurrence with or without bone involvement. There is scarcity of information on MetS in Enugu, Southern Nigeria and there is no available data on the correlation of selected bone-related biochemicals with endocrine parameters and MetS in perimenopausal women from the region. Material and Methods: We consecutively sampled 200 apparently healthy women, and categorized them into 120 perimenopausal women (age ( Results: Calcium was predominantly high in the three criteria (p<0.05). LH and FSH showed positive correlation with FPG while E2 was negatively associated with FPG. Similarly LH showed positive association with inorganic phosphate while E2 was negatively associated with alkaline phosphatase (p<0.05). Conclusion: Perimenopausal women are at higher risk for developing osteoporosis than premenopausal women. This emphasizes the need for timely diagnosis of osteoporosis in perimenopausal women.

Cardiovascular disease, and particularly coronary heart disease (CHD), has a low incidence in premenopausal women. Loss of ovarian hormones during the perimenopause and menopause leads to a sharp increase in incidence. Although most CHD risk factors are common to both men and women, the menopause is a unique additional risk factor for women. Sex steroids have profound effects on many CHD risk factors. Their loss leads to adverse changes in lipids and lipoproteins, with increases being seen in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreases in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. There is a reduction in insulin secretion and elimination, but increases in insulin resistance eventually result in increasing circulating insulin levels. There are changes in body fat distribution with accumulation in central and visceral fat which links to the other adverse metabolic changes. There is an increase in the incidence of hypertension and of type 2 diabetes mellitus, both major risk factors for CHD. Oestrogens have potent effects on blood vessels and their loss leads to dysfunction of the vascular endothelium. All of these changes result from loss of ovarian function contributing to the increased development of CHD. Risk factor assessment in perimenopausal women is recommended, thereby permitting the timely introduction of lifestyle, hormonal and therapeutic interventions to modify or reverse these adverse changes.
