“…There is controversy, however, about the association between occupational status and HTN prevalence. Workers are more specialized in patient care categories in healthcare institutions; these data corroborate the literature and show higher HTN prevalence in non-specialized and lower wage workers [2]. Similarly, the herein evaluated hypertensive population showed the highest MS prevalence in mid-level training workers and in the support category.…”

Objective: Analyzing the association between Metabolic Syndrome (MS) risk factors and work absenteeism due to illnesses among University Hospital employees in Salvador City, Bahia, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study comprised 1173 Bahia Federal University Hospital employees: 57.3% of them were federal employees (statutory officers) and 42.7% were civil servants (CLT employees). Participants were in the age group 41.5 years: 69.4% were female and 30.6% were male. Results: MS prevalence in employees reached 6.6%; women accounted for 69.7% of the total. The percentage increases with age and has similar proportion among direct-care providers and ancillary supports personnel, 40.8% and 39.5%, respectively. The risk factor analysis showed 25% hypertension, 54.6% weight excess (18.4% obese and 36.2% overweight patients), 20% hypercholesterolemia, 9.9% hypertriglyceridemia and 6.5% diabetes mellitus prevalence. Absenteeism longer than one day within the studied population reached 40.1%. Osteoarticular diseases were the most common reason for absenteeism, accounting for 50.7% of it: 62.6% of whom were either overweight or obese. The mean cost with absenteeism per employee was R$5492.87 ($2347.00 US Dollars), and it corresponds to annual cost of R 2,587,139.53 ($1,105,610.00 US Dollars). The highest cost with absenteeism caused by illnesses was recorded for female workers; for federal employees who were patient caregivers, who worked in the Pediatric Centre and who worked at night shifts. Conclusion: The high Metabolic Syndrome risk factors and overweight incidence are responsible for the increased costs faced by hospitals due to high absenteeism rates.

“…On the other hand, the control of a group of hypertensive patients attended at a basic health unit in Mogi das Cruzes, SP, was not associated with ethnic origin (10) . Research (7,11) also shows that arterial pressure tends to be higher in patients with lower education levels and that having a partner, as expressed by their civil status, can facilitate the treatment process.…”

“…In this sense, in the international sphere, a significant relation has been found between income and education level on the one hand and arterial hypertension on the other. Thus, the socioeconomic status presents an inverse relation with pressure levels and hypertension rates, showing that, the lower the income, occupation and education levels, the higher pressure levels tend to be (6)(7) .…”

“…Uma das causas é a alta prevalência da HAS, condição clínica que, embora seja de diagnóstico relativamente fácil e é passível de prevenção e controle, possui expressiva ocorrência de aposentadoria por incapacidade, fato preocupante para o país (25) . A interrelação entre o trabalho ou exposição ocupacional e a hipertensão/doenças cardiovasculares tem sido observada antes mesmo da década de 1980, porém, ainda é difícil compreender a sua etiologia quando seu surgimento envolve o trabalho (26) . O Ministério da Saúde tem a condição do trabalho como possível causa de algumas doenças do sistema circulatório, por exemplo, hipertensão arterial, infarto agudo do miocárdio, arritmias, dentre outras.…”

EVIDÊNCIAS DA INTERRELAÇÃO TRABALHO/OCUPAÇÃO E HIPERTENSÃO RESUMOObjetivo: Identificar evidências na literatura da interrelação entre trabalho/ocupação e o aparecimento da hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa. As bases de dados utilizadas foram: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Foram encontrados 11 estudos que contemplavam os critérios da pesquisa. Realizou-se a análise e síntese dos dados de forma descritiva e, em seguida, descreveu-se o valor das evidências adotadas para a elaboração da revisão integrativa. Resultados: Após revisão integrativa dos artigos, o valor III foi observado em quase a totalidade dos estudos, o que demonstra evidências intermediárias da relação do trabalho com o desenvolvimento da hipertensão. Conclusão: Embora abordado por poucos estudos, identificou-se os efeitos deletérios do trabalho/ocupação no aparecimento da hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Descritores
