The objective of this study was to evaluate blood pressure, anthropometric levels and the vaccination status of workers in the health unit. It is an intervention project that was carried out in the Pantanal Family Health Strategy. This project was developed through the survey carried out with the UBS team on the primary health care needs of the health of the man and the worker of the neighborhood industries. For the development of this work the methodology of Charles Maguerez was used. In the first company, 13 men participated in the intervention. As for the vaccine situation, none of them had vaccination card and reported not remembering the last time they received any dose of any vaccine. In the second, 14 men participated in the activities. As for the vaccination situation, they were the same as the first company and the same measures and procedures were adopted. The activities carried out with the workers of the neighborhood factories made it possible to bring the workers closer to the health services, making it possible to provide services to the male population in their specificities, and covering the principles of integrality, equity and universality of health actions, services provided in the unit and ensuring workers' rights.
Objective: to know the risks for the onset of osteoporosis in the elderly. Method: this is a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). An instrument covering sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometry, clinical variables and life habits was used for data collection. The results were analyzed through the SPSS software, version 20.0, and the findings were presented in tables. Results: hypertension and diabetes mellitus prevailed. With respect to the family history, it was found that the elderly never had a fracture, did not have genetic factors on osteoporosis and did not use calcium and vitamin D. As for the modifiable factors, a large part of the elderly said not to practice physical activity, nor get exposed to the sun, and they said they ingested much caffeine and milk. Conclusion: the proposed objective was reached and it is hoped that the results found in this study contribute to the construction of knowledge about this disease that has increasingly affected people, helping to elaborate prevention strategies or avoid possible complications.

Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, transversal e descritivo na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Utilizou-se, para a coleta de dados, um instrumento composto por características sociodemográficas, antropometria, variáveis clínicas e hábitos de vida. Analisaram-se os resultados por meio do programa SPSS, versão 20.0, e se apresentaram os achados em tabelas. Resultados: prevaleceram-se as doenças hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus. Encontrou-se, sobre o histórico familiar, o fato de os idosos nunca terem apresentado fratura, não possuírem fatores genéticos sobre a osteoporose e não fazerem uso de cálcio e vitamina D. Com relação aos fatores modificáveis, grande parte dos idosos afirmou não praticar atividade física, não se expor ao Sol, ingerir bastante cafeína e leite. Conclusão: atingiu-se o objetivo proposto e espera-se que os resultados encontrados contribuam na construção do conhecimento sobre essa doença de crescente acometimento auxiliando a elaboração de estratégias de prevenção ou evitando possíveis complicações.
