Knowing the body parts affected in accidents at work is important to support managers and professionals in the sectors of work safety in the adoption of measures to promote health and prevent accidents. This study identifies the body parts affected in a work accident registered at the Reference Center for Occupational Health (CEREST) in Sobral, Ceará, Brazil. It is a cross-sectional study, carried out from the database of the Reference Center for Occupational Health in Sobral, Ceará, Brazil. Data were collected between March 2015 and February 2016, from notifications of occupational accidents from the National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN), referring to the period from 2009 to 2013, totaling 2,438 occurrences. There was accidents involving the hands (37.6%), upper limbs (15.4%), lower limbs (13.0%) and feet (10.9%) were the most frequent. Were observed a greater number of victims of occupational accidents among men (90.7%) in the age group of 20 to 59 years (85.6%). There is, in fact, a predominance of body parts involved in occupational accidents in the population, with emphasis on the hand, upper limb, lower limb and foot (p = 0.0001). The study showed workers' health promotion strategies should be encouraged in the workplace, as well as the guarantee of access and the correct use of personal protective equipment, for the prevention of risks, injuries and diseases, considering that accidents cause expenses for the State and losses for the victims.

ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological measures for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA).Data sourcesMEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane library, SciELO/LILACS and EMBASE up to June 2021Study selection and data extractionWe identified all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used non-pharmacological measures to treat IDA including iron pots/ingots, or food use were included. The outcomes of interest were hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and prevalence of anemia.Results479 studies were retrieved from the databases, of which 4 duplicate records were removed. After, all titles and abstracts were reviewed, 23 articles were considered potentially relevant, and were read in full and checked for eligibility. Three articles met all inclusion criteria. We also conducted a manual search for citations and a further 8 records were identified and checked for eligibility. Eleven RCTs were included in this review. Estimates showed that the use of non-pharmacological measures was associated with a statistically significant overall increase in mean Hb (MD +0.45 g/dL, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.85, p=0.03). The effect of non-pharmacological measures on the prevalence of IDA was analyzed in only 5 RCTs. Participants in the intervention groups were 2.78 times less likely to suffer from IDA than those in the control groups, OR=2.78, 95% CI 0.93, 8.29, however without significance for the overall effect (p=0.07).ConclusionNon-pharmacological therapies have a positive effect on iron balance, and can a useful adjunct to programs to prevent and treat IDA in at-risk populations.
