“…Since shiftwork per se and/or combined with unsafe working conditions and unhealthy life styles can trigger the development of important chronic diseases, early aging is a matter of concern 17 . A more detailed description of the biological mechanisms as well as perceived symptoms and diagnosed diseases aggravated by night and shiftwork can be found in Moreno & Louzada 18 in the current issue of this journal.…”

The article reports briefly on some effects of shiftwork and the work environment on health and wellbeing of shiftworkers. Studies of Brazilian shiftworkers (healthcare workers, petrochemical workers, and truck drivers) are described. A similar methodology was used to evaluate sleep and alertness in all these studies. The evaluation of sleep duration and quality and alertness showed similar results in the three studies. Although the workers were in different work settings, performing different jobs, the results are similar: daytime sleep is reduced and perceived as having worse quality than nighttime sleep; alertness decreases as the night work progresses. The study highlights the importance of shiftwork schedules' features and work organization for workers' health, wellbeing, and safety.

“…Patients with gastric disease, cardiac disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, low fertility, and sleeping disorders often also have circadian rhythm disorders. 3 Some researchers have reported that there is a causal relation between working late and cardiovascular disease in male workers 4 and female nurses. 5 Heart rhythm is mainly controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) centered in the brain.…”

“…26 A idade é fator adicional para o desenvolvimento de problemas de saúde e o denominado "envelhecimento funcional precoce", que pode atingir os trabalhadores ainda em idade produtiva. 27 No entanto, apenas a circunferência da cintura mostrou-se associada à faixa etária neste estudo.…”

A sociedade moderna tem passado por alterações nos padrões alimentares e comportamentais, influenciando negativamente a saúde do trabalhador, como no caso de policiais civis, contribuindo com o adoecimento e o comprometimento do estado nutricional neste grupo. O estudo teve como objetivo investigar indicadores antropométricos (Índice de Massa Corporal-IMC e Circunferência de Cintura-CC) e sua relação com fatores sociodemográficos, laborais e de hábitos alimentares em policiais civis de Vitória/ES. Utilizou-se metodologia quantitativa e transversal, com 133 policiais, com idade entre 25 e 65 anos, de ambos os sexos, que trabalhassem na região da Grande Vitória/ ES, selecionados de forma aleatória. Foram realizados testes qui-quadrado e regressão logística multivariada para as variáveis que apresentaram significância estatística de até 20%. Constatouse alta prevalência de excesso de peso (64,3%; n = 83), o IMC se relacionou com classe econômica elevada, sexo masculino, considerar o trabalho estressante e hábito de realizar café da manhã fora do lar, e a CC se associou à idade superior a 40 anos. Ressalta-se a importância da avaliação antropométrica em policiais civis, a fim de identificar fatores associados à inadequação do estado nutricional. Palavras-chave: Polícia. Estado nutricional. Hábitos alimentares. Saúde do trabalhador. Condições de trabalho.
