É grande a problemática envolta na utilização dos agrotóxicos no Brasil e no mundo, os danos cumulativos a saúde humana é remontada em diversas pesquisas que elucidam diversas alterações sistemáticas que acometem as populações expostas. Sendo necessária a discussão e implementação de políticas públicas efetivas na saúde do trabalhador, a fim de prevenir o risco do desenvolvimento de comorbidades associadas aos agrotóxicos. Objetivo: Analisar a exposição materna aos agrotóxicos e a ocorrência de prematuridade no estado de Mato Grosso no período de 2008 a 2018. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, ecológico, abrangendo o período de 2011 a 2017, conduzido em municípios do Estado de Mato Grosso. Os óbitos fetais e nascidos vivos com malformação foram obtidos através do Sistema de Informações de Nascidos Vivos (SINASC). E as estatísticas da população daquele determinado município foram filtrados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Palavras-chave: agrotóxicos; prematuridade; cuidado pré-natal. Abstract The problem involved in the use of pesticides in Brazil and in the world is great, the cumulative damage to human health is traced in several studies that elucidate several systematic changes that affect the exposed populations. It is necessary to discuss and implement effective public policies on worker health, in order to prevent the risk of developing comorbidities associated with pesticides. Objective: To analyze maternal exposure to pesticides and the occurrence of prematurity in the state of Mato Grosso from 2008 to 2018. Methodology: This is a quantitative, ecological study, covering the period from 2011 to 2017, conducted in municipalities in the State from Mato Grosso. Fetal deaths and live births with malformation were obtained through the Live Birth Information System (SINASC). And the population statistics for that particular municipality were filtered by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Keywords: Pesticides; Prematurity; Prenatal Care.
Background: Breast cancer is a serious public health problem and is the second most prevalent cancer type in the world. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the association between pesticide use and breast cancer in a region of intense agribusiness activity in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on women living in the city of Rondonópolis, in the south of Mato Grosso state. There were 85 cases of women with confirmed breast cancer and 266 controls who were randomly selected from primary health care users. Bivariate and stratified analyses were performed. Multiple logistic regression was then performed, keeping in the final model the factors with a significance level lower than or equal to 0.05 or considered important according to apriori biological criteria. Results: In the final model, living near cropland with pesticides (OR: 2.37; CI: 95% 1.78–3.16) and women aged over 50 years who experienced early menarche (OR: 2.08; CI: 95% 1.06–4.12) had a higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to control subjects. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of exposure to pesticides as an environmental risk factor for the development of breast cancer among women.
