“…Thus, the KSD prevalence among them is higher than that of the general population [ 50 ]. In concordance, the civil construction workers, who often work in a high-temperature environment, experience the higher KSD prevalence than the general population [ 51 ]. From these data, the higher KSD prevalence related to the high temperature seems to be induced by profound sweating and dehydration.…”

“…6 The incidence of UL has been increasing over the years. Nowadays, it is estimated that about 10 to 15% of the world population is facing calculogenesis processes of the UT, 1 mainly in industrialized countries. 2 The predisposing factors of the pathology are multicausal, involving gender, ethnicity, age, nutritional and dietary behaviors, climate, work occupation, and physical activity, in addition to comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus, Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) and Obesity.…”

Objetivo: Descrever os casos de morbidade hospitalar e impactos financeiros por urolitíase no estado da Bahia, Brasil no período de 2012 a 2016. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, descritivo e transversal baseado no banco de dados secundários do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. As variáveis coletadas foram: sexo, faixa etária, custos e raça/cor notificados no período citado. Resultados: Foram registrados 15.171 casos de morbidade hospitalar por urolitíase, o que corresponde a 0,46% do total das internações. A maior prevalência ocorreu na macrorregião leste (n=6.920), entre o sexo masculino (n=7.815), em idade entre 35 e 39 anos (n=1.877) e cor/raça ignorada (n=8.031). A urolitíase gerou um impacto financeiro superior a 5,5 milhões de reais ao Sistema Único de Saúde. Conclusão: De acordo com os resultados, observa-se a necessidade de tornar a macrorregião leste como prioritária para as ações de controle e prevenção da patologia

Despite increased safety investments in the civil construction sector, high accident rates persist, often due to workers’ intentional unsafe behaviors influenced by poorly understood psychological factors. This study utilized validated interpretative structural modeling (VISM), an innovative technique, to investigate factors impacting the well-being and risk perception of construction workers in the Brazilian Amazon. The VISM model was developed through five steps: (1) identification of indicators; (2) definition of constructs; (3) identification of relationships between constructs; (4) validation of these relationships; and (5) creation of the model. The results underscore the effectiveness of VISM in crafting complex models with robust statistical validity, even in studies with sample limitations and intricate or circular relationships among constructs. The research identified various factors in this phenomenon, such as the importance given by management to workplace safety, job dissatisfaction, work-related stress, turnover intention, work–family balance, alcohol and cigarette use, physical health, perception of accident risks at work, and education and training in workplace safety. Another significant contribution lies in the model’s ability to discern both direct and indirect relationships among these well-being factors. This insight enables the formulation of strategies to enhance worker well-being and reduce workplace accidents, particularly those stemming from intentional unsafe behaviors.
