“…Autores (18) apontam que indivíduos com escores baixos no FTND estão mais propensos a abandonarem o hábito de fumar. Logo, supõe-se que os sujeitos pesquisados neste estudo tenham maior dificuldade de cessar o tabagismo e necessitariam de estratégias específicas para apoio à cessação.…”

RESUMO: Objetivou-se identificar fatores associados ao tabagismo em usuários da estratégia saúde da família. Estudo epidemiológico transversal, descritivo e analítico. A amostra por conveniência compreendeu 100 indivíduos usuários de uma Unidade Saúde da Família de um município da região centro sul do Paraná. Houve predomínio das mulheres (n=63; 63%), com média de idade de 49,5 anos, cor branca (n=82; 82%), com ensino fundamental completo (n=21; 21%) e casados (n=49; 49%). O consumo médio diário de cigarro foi de 17,7 cigarros/ dia e 56 (56%) participantes apresentavam grau de dependência muito elevado ou elevado à nicotina. Constatouse associação entre a média de tempo de tabagismo e idade (p=0,001), estado civil viúvo (p=0,035), colesterol elevado (p=0,035), uso de anti-hipertensivo (p=0,031) e grau de dependência a nicotina muito elevada (p=0,008). A identificação dos fatores associados ao tabagismo possibilita à equipe de saúde buscar e planejar estratégias de prevenção, tratamento e acompanhamento dos tabagistas.

FATORES ASSOCIADOS AO TABAGISMO EM USUÁRIOS FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SMOKING AMONG USERS OF THE FAMILY HEALTH STRATEGY ABSTRACT:The aim was to identify factors associated with smoking among users of the Family Health Strategy. A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytic epidemiological study. The sample by convenience encompassed 100 individuals who were users of a Family Health Unit from a city in the center-south region of the Brazilian State of Paraná. There was a predominance of women (n=63; 63%), with a mean age of 49.5 years, Caucasian (n=82; 82%), who had completed junior high school (n=21; 21%) and who were married (n=49; 49%). Mean daily cigarette consumption was 17.7 cigarettes/day and 56 (56%) participants had a very high or high degree of dependence on nicotine. An association was observed between mean smoking duration and age (p=0.001), marital status -widowed (p=0.035), high cholesterol (p=0.035), use of antihypertensives (p=0.031) and very high degree of dependence on nicotine (p=0.008). The identification of the factors associated with smoking makes it possible for the health team to seek and plan prevention strategies, treatment and monitoring of smokers.

“…As symptoms for many different respiratory diseases overlap, integrated programs may be particularly beneficial for countries with limited resources, and preferred to strategies only devoted to COPD [90]. Unfortunately, most countries often have implemented programs focused on individual diseases [91], even though an integrated primary care has been promoted for > 30 years [92].…”

Background Latin America covers a vast geographic area (larger than the United States, Canada or Western Europe) with about 600 million inhabitants distributed in at least 19 countries. The population tripled since 1950, with a massive migration from rural areas to cities. Latin America is a mixed pot of ethnicities including the European, African, Mulatto, Mestizo and Amerindian individuals, in various proportions depending on the native population prior to the arrival of Europeans and the extent of European and African migration. Unfortunately, Latin America is one of the areas in the world with the widest disparity in income within and between countries, leading to a coexistence of diseases of poverty with those seen in developed countries. Tobacco-induced diseases, diabetes, obesity and the cardiovascular disease typical of developed regions and infectious diseases and problems related to violence often overlap in the same country. Prevalence of COPD in Latin America: Data from Population-based Studies Before several population-based surveys conducted in the early 2000s, information on respiratory diseases was very scarce, beyond the compulsory data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), mostly based on mortality statistics. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project (the latest conducted in 2013) [1] provided estimates
