“…The prevalence of SAH in FCO in this study was shown to be higher than in the general population, 3 and in other occupational categories, 22 especially if one takes into account the fact that the FCOs in this study are relatively young. These findings support the premise that structural factors associated with prison work are associated with SAH.…”

“…2 Thus, once women assume the role of CO, the weight of responsibility for prisoner care and fear of violence is added to their other roles making them more susceptible to chronic illness. 3 As documented by the Statistical Information System of the Penitentiary System (INFOPEN), Brazil has the third largest prison population in the world, with more than 773 151 prisoners, behind only the United States of America (2 121 600) and China (1 649 804). 4,5 The National Prison Information Survey documented 78 163 FCO (64 456 men and 13 707 women) in Brazil in 2016, with an average of eight prisoners for each FCO, three more than required by Resolution No.…”

“…9,10 FCO working conditions include factors that trigger SAH, such as night shifts, irregular work shifts, reduced physical activity time, long sitting periods, and occupational stress. 3,11 These working conditions and the available literature led us to explore the hypothesis that inherent structural factors related to work in prisons is associated with SAH. The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of hypertension among FCO, the first such national study of hypertension among FCO in Brazil.…”

Objectives To estimate hypertension prevalence and associated factors among female correctional officers (FCO) in female Brazilian prisons. Methods Cross‐sectional, analytical study conducted in 15 female prisons in all five Brazilian regions between January 2014 and December 2015. The study population consisted of correctional officers with at least 6 months in the position. The sampling included 40% of FCO present in the prison during data collection, yielding 295 FCOs. Data were collected via Audio Computer‐Assisted Self‐Interview . A physical examination of participants was conducted including blood pressure, weight, and waist and hip circumference. The Odds Ratio and confidence intervals for independent factors were estimated. Results Hypertension prevalence in correctional officers was 37.9%, (95% CI 32.1‐44.0). Hypertension was associated with obesity (95% CI = 1.884‐9.947), cardiovascular disease (95% CI = 3.348‐16.724), and participation in the specific training course for the relevant position (95% CI = 1.413‐9.564). Conclusions While findings, except for the last factor, are not novel, this is the first such study conducted in Brazil. Hypertension prevalence among this pool of all female correctional officers is higher than in the average population, and FCOs associate this with the prison environment. Current training does not appear to address this problem. Especially since prison populations are growing in Brazil, this problem needs to be addressed for the health of the FCOs and the prisoners in their care.

“…The health promotion strategy represents an assertive alternative for addressing these risk factors. [ 1 ] However, the multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach strengthens the actions in health, since the collaborative posture reinforces the purposes of prevention, control, and treatment of diseases. However, the inclusion of a protocol that includes a detailed evaluation followed by the implementation of metabolic rehabilitation will contribute to the construction of patient-centered care and its needs in order to improve people's health conditions.…”

“…Most of the risk factors for these diseases are related to living conditions and are estimated to be responsible for more than 40% of global mortality worldwide (hypertension, smoking, high blood glucose, sedentary lifestyle, overweight, and obesity). [ 1 ]…”

Introduction:Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction reflex of the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM) favors an increase in morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular events, and for this reason has been one of the most studied clinical entities.Method:An experimental study of a randomized clinical trial type was therefore proposed to analyze the hemodynamic and glycemic response after the practice of a rehabilitation program in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this clinical trial the patients will initially be submitted to an evaluation protocol that consists of assessing blood pressure, heart rate, Borg scale, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, distance traveled through the 6-minute walk test, quality of life questionnaire, Pittsburgh sleep quality questionnaire, and still glycated hemoglobin and heart rate variability through the cardiofrequency meter. After careful evaluation of the patients, they will be submitted to a metabolic rehabilitation program composed of aerobic and resisted exercises, performed for 12 weeks, in 3 weekly meetings of 60 minutes each. With such evaluations, it will be possible to construct with evidence that it is possible to work safer metabolic rehabilitation programs in patients with T2DM or other diseases that generate cardiovascular risks, guaranteeing them an improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness, hemodynamic and glycemic variables, allowing improvement of the quality of life.Ethics and Dissemination:The protocol is approved by the host institution's ethics committee under the number 1.616.721. Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed journal articles and conferences. This clinical trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT3094767.

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a associação entre perfil alimentar, atividade física e estado nutricional entre mulheres universitárias. Método Estudo transversal com 1500 mulheres. O questionário abordava questões sobre a vigilância de fatores de risco e proteção para doenças crônicas. As associações foram analisadas pelo teste qui-quadrado e análise de correspondência múltipla. Resultados Das 1500 mulheres, 64,3% tinham entre 20 e 29 anos. Aquelas fisicamente ativas consumiram mais frutas (p<0,01), salada (p<0,01) e vegetais/verduras (p<0,01), enquanto as fisicamente inativas consumiram mais refrigerantes (p<0,01), carne com gordura visível (p=0,03) e leite com gordura (p=0,04). As mulheres fisicamente inativas também apresentaram maior prevalência de diabetes mellitus (p<0,01), colesterol elevado (p<0,01) e dislipidemia (p=0,04). Conclusão e implicação para a prática As universitárias apresentaram comportamentos de risco a sua saúde, onde o consumo de álcool, baixo consumo de alimentos saudáveis e a alta prevalência de inatividade física contribuíram para o aumento dos fatores de risco para doenças crônicas. Ações preventivas com a participação de uma equipe multidisciplinar ajudará na melhora da saúde no ambiente acadêmico.
