A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo investigate factors that are associated with type 2 diabetes Mellitus in shift workers of a slaughterhouse in Southern Brazil. MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 1,194 18-to 50-year-old workers of both sexes. The presence of type 2 diabetes Mellitus was self-reported and confirmed by the use of hypoglycemic drugs or insulin. The independent variables were sex, age, skin color, marital status, education level, family income, leisure time physical activity, smoking, and self-reported health and nutritional status (body mass index and waist circumference). Multivariate analysis was performed from an a priori conceptual model. ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes was 1.3% (95%CI=0.6-1.9). Type 2 diabetes Mellitus was associated with poor or regular self-reported health (OR)=3.72; 95%CI=1.28-10.78) and level II abdominal obesity ≥102 for men and ≥88 for women (OR=5.76; 95%CI=1.07-29.10). ConclusionThe prevalence of type 2 diabetes Mellitus was low. Moreover, the study evidenced the importance of using waist circumference to surveil and screen for metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes Mellitus, and to monitor the low quality of life in the study individuals given the poor self-perceived health of workers with the said disease.

“…Other issues may also explain the different prevalence rates: presence of diseases in the study groups, age of the study groups, information sources (selected interviewees versus third parties), different positioning of questions on the questionnaire, study design issues, and adjustments in the analysis. According to Barros et al 6 , differences in prevalence rates between studies, countries, and subpopulations may not be consistent with objective health indicators, and may be more attributable to methodological differences, thus hindering comparison 29 .…”

“…The theme started to be studied in the 1970s, as a demand from the Sociology field, in order to assess its association with mortality 1,2 . Epidemiological and qualitative studies brought consistent results that pointed to SRH as a useful indicator to diagnose the health status of the populations 3,4 . As a global health indicator, obtained from the perception of individuals coming from signs and meanings, based on the multidimensional aspects of human life 5 , it is important to consider its relationship with factors that can establish the level of health status.…”

“…As a global health indicator, obtained from the perception of individuals coming from signs and meanings, based on the multidimensional aspects of human life 5 , it is important to consider its relationship with factors that can establish the level of health status. The literature has studies about the relationship between SRH and morbimortality, as well as its association with socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral, among other factors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . Selfrated health is related to the social world and to psychological experiences, on the one hand, and to the biological world, on the other, showing the influence of the cognitive flow in the responses to the only question composing this indicator, usually asked as followed: "How is your health in general: excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?".…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To estimate the trends of self-rated health in relation to overweight in the adult population of the capitals of the Brazilian Midwest region and the Federal District. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a population aged 20 to 59 years, using data from the Telephone-based Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases (VIGITEL), performed between 2008 and 2014. The estimates using the complex sampling design were made using simple linear regression, trend graphs and Boxplot. Results: The categories "poor" and "very poor" didn't increase in the analyzed period. There was an average increase of 0.5 percentage point per year in the categories "fair" and "good" and an average decrease of 1.0 percentage point in the category "very good". The trend analysis of mean body mass index found there was a progressive growth in all cities. The worst health perceptions showed higher values of body mass index in both sexes. We observed the existence of obese people assessing their health positively. Conclusion: Selfrated health remained relatively constant whereas the body mass index continued to grow between 2008 and 2014. The self-rated health of individuals with high body mass index (>30 kg/m 2 ) does not seem to be directly related to their weight. Therefore, it is important to analyze the association of these two variables controlling for morbidity, health behaviors (smoking and alcohol consumption, physical activity and diet), and sociodemographic factors.

Auto-avaliação da saúde em adultos no Sul do Brasil

Abstract: Women and individuals who were older, poorer or less educated considered their health condition to be fair or poor. The higher the number of self-reported morbidities, the greater the proportion of individuals with negative self-rated health; the effect of morbidities was greater in women.
