The results showed that the LNR can be considered an independent prognostic variable in overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer.
The 2030 United Nations Goal 8 for sustainable development focuses on decent work. There is utility in identifying the occupational safety and health aspects of Goal 8, as they pertain to the four pillars of decent work: job creation, social protection, rights of workers, and social dialogue. A workgroup of the International Commission on Occupational Health and collaborators addressed the issue of decent work and occupational safety and health (OSH) with the objective of elaborating a framework for guidance for practitioners, researchers, employers, workers, and authorities. This article presents that framework, which is based on an examination of the literature and the perspectives of the workgroup. The framework encompasses the intersection of the pillars of decent (employment creation, social protection, rights of workers, and social dialogue) work with new and emerging hazards and risks related to various selected determinants: new technologies and new forms of work; demographics (aging and gender); globalization; informal work; migration; pandemics; and OSH policies and climate change. The OSH field will need an expanded focus to address the future of decent work. This focus should incorporate the needs of workers and workforces in terms of their well-being. The framework identifies a starting point for the OSH community to begin to promote decent work.
The United Nations identified decent work and economic growth as a sustainable development goal for 2030. Decent work is a term that sums up aspirations for people in their working lives. One of the factors that influences the achievement of decent work is aging. This article examines how aspects of aging and organizational factors affect work ability across the lifespan and throughout one’s work career. Additionally, the critical issue of worker physical mobility was also addressed as a practical limitation to functional aging. Through our investigation, we identified gaps in the literature where research and interventions should be promoted. These include early disability studies; population dashboards of workers’ health metrics; intervention and cost effectiveness in health promotion and prevention of early functional aging at work; policies for tailoring demands to individual needs and abilities; and inequities of social protection for aging workers.
ARTIGO ORIGINAL RESUMO | Contexto:A obesidade é uma doença com proporções epidêmicas ao redor do mundo. Tal quadro é causa de redução de qualidade e expectativa de vida, incapacidade funcional e mortalidade. Apresenta etiologia multifatorial, sendo resultado de interações genéticas, estilo de vida e fatores ambientais, como o trabalho. Em uma sociedade que funciona 24 horas, há aumento crescente de trabalhadores com jornada noturna. As alterações metabólicas geradas pelo trabalho noturno levam a problemas como o aumento do excesso de peso corporal. Objetivos: Verificar a presença de fatores associados ao quadro de excesso de peso entre trabalhadores de uma empresa de produtos químicos com trabalho em turno. Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico realizado em uma empresa de produtos químicos na cidade de São Paulo, em 2013. 29 trabalhadores do setor de produção (76,3% do total) aceitaram participar da pesquisa e foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com seus horários de trabalho. Houve entrevista para preenchimento de questionários e avaliação física. Considerou-se caso positivo de excesso de peso quando o índice de massa corporal (IMC) foi igual ou maior que 25 kg/m 2 . Foram realizadas análises estatísticas entre o desfecho e as variáveis, com exato de Fisher. Resultados: O grupo era todo do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 40,2 anos (DP±6,53) e média de tempo de empresa de 10 anos (DP±8). Dos participantes, 93% não fumavam, 62% não ingeriam bebida alcoólica, 41% eram sedentários e 69% trabalhavam em jornada diurna. O excesso de peso estava presente em 82,8% dos trabalhadores. Não houve associação estatística entre o excesso de peso e o turno de trabalho ou demais covariáveis. Conclusão: Conclui-se que há alta prevalência de sobrepeso no grupo estudado. O turno de trabalho e outras covariáveis não apresentam associação estatística com o excesso de peso entre os trabalhadores da presente pesquisa. De toda forma, é necessário iniciar programas de atenção integral à saúde do trabalhador para redução do excesso de peso nessa empresa. Palavras-chave | obesidade; trabalho em turnos; saúde do trabalhador. ABSTRACT | Context:Obesity is a disease of epidemic proportions worldwide. This condition leads to reduced quality of life and life expectancy, functional disability, and mortality. With multifactorial etiology, it is the result of genetic interactions, lifestyle, and environmental factors, such as labor. In a society that operates 24 hours, there is a constant increase in night-shift workers. The metabolic changes caused by night work lead to problems such as an increase in excess body weight. Objectives: To verify the occurrence of factors associated with overweight among employees who work in shifts in a chemical company. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out at a chemical company in the city of São Paulo, in 2013. Twenty-nine workers from the production department (76.3% of the total) agreed to participate in the study and were divided into three groups, according to their work schedules. An...
