Cross-sectional analysis reveals social and cultural factors affecting health perceptions in quilombola communities, implying a need for culturally sensitive care.

Key Points

This analysis examines how social determinants influence self-perceived health among quilombola residents.
Cross-sectional analytical study with 500 participants from quilombola communities
Data collected using a validated instrument measuring sociodemographic, behavioral, and cultural variables
Statistical analysis included Pearson’s Chi-square and Spearman’s correlation tests with p < 0.05
74.2% of participants reported positive self-perceived health and this was significantly associated with age group (p = 0.003) and physical activity (p = 0.003)
Use of traditional care practices was highly significant (p < 0.001)
A negative correlation (ρ = −0.220; p < 0.001) suggests that increased vulnerability factors lower positive health perception.
