Fatores de risco cardiovascular e mortalidade: seguimento em longo prazo (até 20 anos) em programa preventivo realizado pela medicina ocupacional

Abstract

ObjectiveThe decrease in mortality due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) Methods The assessment of changes in total cholesterol (TC), levels of blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI) and smoking was carried out, besides the occurrence of fatal (F) and non-fatal (NF) cardiovascular events, under dietary and behavioral intervention and long-term follow-up (up to 20 years) in a closed ConclusionThose results prove that initiatives directed towards the prevention must be priorities, aiming at modifying the morbimortatility rates of CVD.

The natural history of cardiovascular risk factors in health professionals: 20-year follow-up

“…An increased prevalence of overweight over time has been reported by Brazilian and international studies analyzing the evolution of the BMI in specific populations [20–23]. Although the population examined in this study had received formal education in health-related fields, the evolution the BMI was similar to that of the general population, with a significant increase in the prevalence of excessive weight over a 20-year follow-up.…”

Fatores de risco cardiovasculares em coorte de profissionais da área médica: 15 anos de evolução

“…The increasing prevalence of overweight over time has already been reported by some Brazilian studies, including the Ciorlia and Lotufo studies, which analized the evolution of BMI in specific populations 9,22 . Moreover, the obesity epidemic is a reality in developed countries, and has also been observed in developing countries 23,24 .…”

“…In Brazil, the situation is not different. This occurs both with regard to the incidence and the prevalence, but especially in relation to an evolution analysis of these CVRF in the population [7][8][9][10][11][12] …”

Conhecimento dos trabalhadores da indústria metal-mecânica sobre fatores de risco para doença arterial coronariana

“…Dados recentes de um estudo americano demonstraram que a presença de dois ou mais fatores de risco são mais frequentes entre aqueles com baixa escolaridade (53%), em comparação com aqueles com curso superior (26%). 13 Os estudos de coorte de Framingham também revelam e confirmam a importância de FR para a DAC como: tabagismo, níveis elevados de colesterol LDL, baixos de HDL, diabetes melito, hipertensão arterial sistêmica, história familiar, obesidade, sedentarismo e obesidade central. 14 O estudo INTERHEART 15 , um caso-controle internacional, avaliou nove fatores de risco que explicou mais de 90% do risco atribuível, ou seja, da proporção de casos devido ao fator de risco, para infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM).…”
