“…21,22 Brazil is currently experiencing a special phase of tobacco control, with a strong reduction in smoking prevalence among adults living in urban areas. 23 This reduction is being achieved by changes in Brazilian tobacco control legislation, which prohibits smoking in all enclosed public spaces, and smoking prevention and health treatment activities for current and ex-smokers. 24 In our study, frequency of smoking habits was similar to that observed in the overall male population of Brazil (17.8% vs. 20.3%) 25 and lower than smoking frequency observed in other countries, for example, gypsum mining workers in India (28%).…”

Background Artisanal and small‐scale mining (ASM) are an important source of employment in southern Brazil. Mining workers are frequently exposed to unhealthy work conditions which increase the risk of occupational diseases. In this study, we assessed the association of sociodemographic factors and the occupational history of artisanal mining workers with the risk of adverse respiratory outcomes. Methods The study was conducted with 258 artisanal mining workers in southern Brazil, who were exposed to dust (mainly crystalline silica) in their work. Information on sociodemographic variables and occupational histories was collected between 2017 and 2018. To estimate the worker's exposure to inhalable dust we use the Advanced REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals) Tool (ART). Results Study participants were all men, with an average age of 40 years. Median crude dust exposure estimated by ART was 13.2 mg/m³ and median crude crystalline silica exposure was 1.6 mg/m3. The prevalence ratio (PR) for self‐reported silicosis was 3.08 (95% confidence interval, 1.39–7.17) in workers with 20 years or more of mining work. Factors associated with silicosis were age, pack‐years of tobacco use, and body mass index. Smokers were over twice as likely to report respiratory symptoms. Conclusions Our findings indicate that a high prevalence of silicosis and other associated diseases in mining workers is associated with both unhealthy work environment conditions and the health profile of workers. This study is an important step for understanding health outcomes from work in ASM.

“…It was verified that users with low schooling are five times more likely to have this disease. This data was also verified by a study in which 4.9% reported DM, with a predominance of females and incomplete primary education, 9 showing a relationship between education, low economic class and the presence of comorbidities, being this population that has greater financing by the the SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) [Brazilian Unified Health System].¹²…”

“…This disease is among the world's public health problems, with increasing prevalence.⁷ In the sample, there was a higher prevalence among women and 80.3% had a low educational level g, data found by Godoy (2010) as well. 9 In Brazil, the "Vigitel Brasil" study (Surveillance of Risk Factors and Protection for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Inquiry) verified that, in 2013, 24.1% had a medical diagnosis of SAH in the 27 Brazilian capitals, being 26.3% between women and 21.5% among men, with the frequency of diagnosis increasing with increasing age,⁸ these data refer to the general population, differing from the present survey which included age up to 59 years old.

Objective:The study's purpose has been to assess the health profile, based on the individual registry named e-SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde [Unified Health System]), in regards to the users of basic health care services in Ijuí city, Rio Grande do Sul State. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 400 registered users in 15 Family Health Strategies, within the age group from 20 to 59 years old and according to the e-SUS individual registry. Results: There was a predominance of wage earners with a work permit and low education level. Users with low schooling were five times more likely to develop diabetes mellitus (p=0.01), whereas high education users were hospitalized more frequently (p=0.03). It was observed an association between participating in a community group and the female gender (p=0.013), having high education level and private health insurance plan (p=0.001). Conclusion: The profile of the users shows a direct relationship between low level of schooling and chronic noncommunicable diseases and inversion of hospitalizations.

“…For instance, restrictions on tobacco advertisements and public campaigns promoting smoking prevention and cessation. Laws establishing smoke-free environments, including pubs and restaurants, were adopted aiming to protect the population from passive smoking, and to motivate smokers to quit [9]. Increasing cigarette prices is also an effective measure to reduce tobacco use, mainly among adolescents [10].…”

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of smokers in a dental school in southern Brazil and their views about the role of dentists in tobacco use cessation. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with patients of a dental school, who answered a face-to-face interview. Smokers also took the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Chi Square test with a significance level of 5%. Results: The sample consisted of 442 patients, and 93 patients (21.04%) were smokers. The lower the level of schooling the higher the frequency of smokers (p=0.026), and the frequency of nonsmokers was associated with higher income (p=0.021). Regarding the role of dentists in smoking cessation, 97.8% of smokers believe that the dentist should provide information and advice, but 36.6% did not receive any orientation from dentists. CONCLUSION: The study had found a higher frequency of smokers among men and an association between smoking and schooling as well as smoking and income. The majority of smokers would like to quit smoking and had tried at least once to stop. The sample believes that dentists should give information and advice about smoking cessation.Key words: Tobacco; Tobacco use cessation; Nicotine; Health profile; Dentists Perfil de pacientes fumantes e o papel do cirurgião-dentista na cesssação: estudo transversal no sul do Brasil RESUMO OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil dos pacientes fumantes de um curso de Odontologia no sul do Brasil e sua opinião sobre o papel do cirurgião-dentista na cessação do tabagismo. METODOLOGIA: Estudo transversal analítico, onde os dados foram coletados por meio de uma entrevista contendo questões fechadas e abertas. Os pacientes fumantes também responderam o Teste de Dependência à Nicotina de Fagerström. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e do teste Qui-quadrado ao nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: A amostra compreendeu 442 pacientes, sendo que 93 (21,04%) eram fumantes. Verificou-se associação significativa entre fumo, escolaridade e renda, sendo que quanto menor a escolaridade, maior a frequência de fumantes (p=0,026), e a frequência de não fumantes esteve associada a uma maior renda (p=0,021). Em relação ao papel do cirurgião-dentista na cessação do tabagismo, 97,8% dos fumantes acredita que este deve dar orientações sobre os danos provocados pelo cigarro, mas 36,6% não receberam informações ou conselhos do dentista. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo encontrou alta frequência de fumantes entre os homens e associação entre tabagismo, escolaridade e renda. A maioria dos fumantes gostaria de parar de fumar e tentou pelo menos uma vez. A maior parte da amostra acredita que o cirurgião-dentista deve fornecer informações e aconselhamento sobre a cessação do tabagismo.
