Malocclusion has influence on the perception of adolescents of different social levels when judging youngsters with or without malocclusion from the aspects of athletics, social and health status, leadership and academic skills.
During aging, an increase in sedentary behaviour and a decrease in physical activity levels are observed. These factors may increase abdominal adiposity and triglyceride levels, which characterizes the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype, providing a high risk for cardiometabolic diseases. This study aimed to analyze the association between hypertriglyceridemic waist, physical activity level and sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling elderly. A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 316 elderlies (≥ 60 years) of both genders. The hypertriglyceridemic waist was diagnosed using high triglycerides (≥ 150 mg/dl) and increased waist circumference ≥ 88 and ≥ 102 cm values for women and men, respectively. The physical activity level and sedentary behaviour were evaluated using the IPAQ. The study included 173 women (54.7%) and 143 men (45.3%), with a mean age of 74.2 ± 9.8 years. The prevalence of HW was 27.1%, 47.7% insufficiently active and 24.1% high sedentary behaviour. The insufficiently active elderly (OR= 2.48; 95% CI: 1.31 - 4.71; p= 0.005) and with high sedentary behaviour (OR= 2.21; 95% CI: 1.04 - 4.32; p= 0.038) were associated positively with HW, indicating that elderly with insufficient physical activity levels and high sedentary behaviour showed themselves to approximately 2.5 and 2.2 times more likely to develop HW, respectively. Low physical activity level and high sedentary behaviour are associated with hypertriglyceridemic waist in community-dwelling elderly.
O número de acidentes de trânsito envolvendo motocicleta é cada vez maior, o que expõe o profissional mototaxista à ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho. O presente estudo tem como objetivo estimar a incidência anual de acidentes de trabalho entre profissionais mototaxistas e os fatores associados a estes agravos segundo características sociodemográficas, características profissionais, condições de trabalho e presença de sintomas osteomusculares. Trata-se de estudo transversal de caráter analítico com amostra composta por 123 mototaxistas cadastrados na Associação de Mototaxistas de Jequié (taxa de resposta 77,8%). Para análise estatística, foi utilizada a técnica de regressão logística, com cálculo das razões de incidência, intervalo de confiança (95%) e nível de significância p ≤ 0,05. A incidência anual de acidentes de trabalho entre mototaxistas foi de 26,8%. Foi observada, ainda, uma incidência expressiva de acidentes entre aqueles que relataram possuir outra atividade remunerada além do serviço de mototáxi (86,7%), com associação estatisticamente significante (p = 0,03). O desempenho de duas profissões parece predispor o mototaxista a maior ocorrência de acidentes com o veículo, sendo considerado um importante problema de saúde pública. Palavras-chave: Epidemiologia. Mototaxistas. Saúde do trabalhador. Condições de trabalho. Acidentes de trabalho.
