Conversation about hormonal health in men and women will take place in Loulé

Jornal do Algarve14 September 2026 at 11:33

The cycle of conversations "Semear Hoje…Colher o Amanhã…" will return to the Municipal Library Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, in Loulé, on September 25th at 6:30 PM, with the theme "Hormonal Health: what men and women need to know". The initiative is organized by the Municipality of Loulé.

The session will address hormonal health as a fundamental pillar of human health, influencing growth, reproduction, metabolism, mood, sleep and energy levels throughout life. According to the Municipality, hormonal balance is closely linked to brain function, and can affect concentration ability, memory, motivation and mood, with hormonal changes potentially contributing to symptoms of anxiety, irritability, sadness or sleep disorders.

The conversation will be led by Bernardo Pessoa, a specialist in General and Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. The event challenges the population to reflect, share and debate the topic.

During the session, participants may also enroll their children, aged three or older, in an activity dedicated to the promotion of books and reading, led by library professionals, subject to prior registration.

Why this matters

This conversation offers residents of Loulé and the Algarve region free access to specialized information on hormonal health, a topic that affects men and women of all ages. The provision of activities for children allows family participation, encouraging health literacy in the local community. The event comes in the context of a continuous cycle of well-being promotion conversations.

Index brings a portrait of the quality of life of healthcare professionals in the country

Afya developed the Afya MedQoL Index, a proprietary scale to monitor the mental health and quality of life of Brazilian medical professionals throughout their careers. The tool, published in the scientific journal BMJ Open, brings together 13 indicators organized into dimensions that assess well-being, institutional support, and perceived stress. According to Eduardo Moura, director of Afya's Research & Innovation Center, the instrument was created because there was no validated tool specifically to measure these aspects in the medical sector. The company states that the index allows tracking trends, identifying risk factors, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions in the lives of healthcare professionals.
