“…Furthermore, the use of these products was associated with the presence of NCDs, with the percentage of reported diseases and higher biochemical changes among farmers who reported the use of pesticides (Table 5). Studies have found an association between exposure to pesticides and kidney problems of unknown etiology (Jayasumana, et al, 2015); stomach cancer (Boccolini, et al, 2014) and oral and neurological diseases (Souza, et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2017). However, this discussion also involves the form of dilution and application of the product; compliance with safety standards that aim to reduce the risks of exposure; toxicological class of the pesticide and number of active ingredients, which can increase the risk and cause different changes in the body, especially in the case of exposure for a longer period; exposure time in years, among other risk factors (Almeida & Martins, 2008).…”

“…Outra questão que explica a maior proporção de homens em ambos os grupos é que o tratamento das neoplasias de mama e colo de útero tem como referência para tratamento um Centro de Oncologia no município de Petrolina, Pernambuco, o que torna reduzida a procura do serviço onde foi feita a pesquisa para esse tipo de doença, específica em mulheres. Considerando a faixa etária, a predominância de casos de câncer por volta dos 60 anos de idade é compatível com o encontrado em outros estudos [16][17] .…”

“…A mortalidade por câncer de estômago entre agricultores entre 1996 e 2005 em indivíduos com idade maior ou igual a 20 anos, residentes no estado do Rio de Janeiro, foi avaliada em outro estudo 39 . Os trabalhadores agrícolas apresentaram um aumento no risco de morte por câncer de estômago (OR=1,42; IC 95%: 1,33-1,78) ajustada por sexo, idade, etnicidade e educação, associado ao aumento no uso de agrotóxicos 39 .…”
