“…First, Peru is undergoing an epidemiological transition with an increasing prevalence of NCDs (Huicho et al, 2009), and this phenomena, paired with economic development, will certainly impact the profile of sleeping patterns as well as its relationship with other diseases. Second, another context-specific characteristic from our sample is the road traffic injuries that are linked to tiredness or sleepiness (Rey de Castro & Rosales-Mayor, 2010), which is a very common feature among Lima’s public transportation drivers (Risco et al, 2013). Thus, having a broader picture at the population-level of sleeping-related factors would clarify the potential scope of this public health problem.…”

Background. Sleep duration, either short or long, has been associated with diseases such as obesity, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Characterizing the prevalence and patterns of sleep duration at the population-level, especially in resource-constrained settings, will provide informative evidence on a potentially modifiable risk factor. The aim of this study was to explore the patterns of sleep duration in the Peruvian adult and adolescent population, together with its socio-demographic profile.Material and Methods. A total of 12,424 subjects, mean age 35.8 years (SD ±17.7), 50.6% males, were included in the analysis. This is a cross-sectional study, secondary analysis of the Use of Time National Survey conducted in 2010. We used weighted means and proportions to describe sleep duration according to socio-demographic variables (area and region; sex; age; education attainment; asset index; martial and job status). We used Poisson regressions, taking into account the multistage sampling design of the survey, to calculate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Main outcomes were short- (<6 h) and long-sleep duration (≥ 9 h).Results. On average, Peruvians slept 7.7 h (95% CI [7.4–8.0]) on weekdays and 8.0 h (95% CI [7.8–8.1]) during weekends. The proportions of short- and long-sleep, during weekdays, were 4.3% (95% CI [2.9%–6.3%]) and 22.4% (95% CI [14.9%–32.1%]), respectively. Regarding urban and rural areas, a much higher proportion of short-sleep was observed in the former (92.0% vs. 8.0%); both for weekdays and weekends. On the multivariable analysis, compared to regular-sleepers (≥ 6 to <9 h), short-sleepers were twice more likely to be older and to have higher educational status, and 50% more likely to be currently employed. Similarly, relative to regular-sleep, long-sleepers were more likely to have a lower socioeconomic status as per educational attainment.Conclusions. In this nationally representative sample, the sociodemographic profile of short-sleep contrasts the long-sleep. These scenarios in Peru, as depicted by sleeping duration, differ from patterns reported in other high-income settings and could serve as the basis to inform and to improve sleep habits in the population. Moreover, it seems important to address the higher frequency of short-sleep duration found in urban versus rural settings.

“…Nenhum dos estudos referiu o consumo de substâncias ilícitas entre os motoristas. Soma-se a isso que apenas um dos estudos internacionais (31) A prevalência do consumo de tabaco foi avaliada em 18 dos 21 estudos selecionados, variando de 14,2% (15) a 93% (28) . No entanto, dentre os mencionados estudos, um deles (20) não apresentou a prevalência desse consumo.…”

Objetivo: investigar a prevalência do consumo de substâncias psicotrópicas por motoristas de ônibus urbano através da revisão de estudos publicados sobre o consumo de drogas por essa população e identificar a associação entre esse consumo e as variáveis sociodemográficas e ocupacionais inerentes à profissão. Método: revisão sistemática de literatura utilizando as bases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, EMBASE, PsycINFO e CAPES, utilizando-se os descritores: motoristas de ônibus, motoristas de ônibus urbano, uso de drogas e consumo de drogas, de julho a dezembro de 2015. Resultados: esses profissionais estão cotidianamente expostos a importantes fatores estressores ocupacionais e o consumo de drogas pode estar relacionado a uma estratégia negativa de enfrentamento do estresse. O uso de drogas entre esses profissionais é preocupante, bem como a evidente relação entre esse uso e a ocorrência de acidentes de trânsito. Conclusão: estressores inerentes à profissão e respostas pouco eficazes ao estresse podem levar tais profissionais ao uso de substâncias psicotrópicas. Faz-se necessária a realização de estudos sobre a prevalência do consumo de drogas em uma amostra significativa de motoristas de ônibus urbano.
