ArticleMen have a shorter lifespan and a higher mortality rate than women in almost all age groups. Male gender is the most important demographic factor contributing to premature death (Braz, 2005). Although the labor market has undergone great changes in industrial societies, men are still characteristically identified with heavy load services, such as mining, tunneling, construction, work on offshore platforms, and so on. Thus, they are more exposed to accidents and occupational diseases, which result in varying degrees of morbidity, disability, and death. AbstractMen generally have a lower life expectancy and higher mortality than women in nearly all age groups. Military police, whose main activity in Brazil is the maintenance of public order and the prevention of crimes and transgressions of the laws, is mostly composed of men; it is also a risky and stressful profession generally related to poor quality of life. Considering that risk factors for disease and death from cardiovascular causes-including the multiple risk factor metabolic syndrome-are mostly related to lifestyle and associated with impaired quality of life, this study aims to provide a theoretical basis for other studies about the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among police officers. In a theoretical study, the authors present an interdisciplinary review based on studies on the health and quality of life of men in general and policemen in their specificity; published studies were selected according to the key words: men, health, quality of life, police, metabolic syndrome; they should also have been published in the past 15 years and available in the Scientific Electronic Library Online-SciELO-and in the Public Medline-PubMed. In conclusion, military policemen have a risky profession, whose conditions may contribute to low quality of life, illness, and mortality from cardiovascular causes; these conditions indicate a need for the characterization of metabolic syndrome in this population as an important element for promotion of health. Studying these conditions may contribute to the adoption of comprehensive and continuing care for military policemen's integral health.

Mortality attributable to tobacco: review of different methods

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundOne of the most important measures for ascertaining the impact of tobacco is the estimation of the mortality attributable to its use. Several indirect methods of quantification are available. The objective of the article is to assess methodologies published and applied in calculating mortality attributable to smoking.MethodsA review of the literature was made for the period 1998 to 2005, in the electronic databases MEDLINE. Twelve articles were selected for analysis.ResultsThe most widely used methods were the prevalence methods, followed by smoking impact ration method. Ezzati and Lopez showed that the general rate of Smoking attributable mortality (SAM) globally was 12% (18% in men). Across countries, attributable fractions of total adult deaths ranged from 8% in Southern Africa, 13.6% in Brazil (18.1% in men) and 25% in Hong Kong (33% in men).ConclusionThe variations can be attributed to methodological differences and to different estimates of the main tobacco-related illnesses and tobacco prevalence. All methods show limitations of one type or another, yet there is no consensus as to which furnishes the best information.
