Inatividade nos deslocamentos para o trabalho e fatores associados em industriários

Abstract

Este trabalho foi realizado com o apoio logístico do Serviço Social da Indústria de Pernambuco (SESI/PE).Inactive commuting to work and associated factors in industrial workers 1 Inatividade nos deslocamentos para o trabalho e fatores associados em industriários 63 AbstractThis study analyzed the prevalence and identified the factors associated with inactive commuting to work among industrial workers from Pernambuco, Brazil. Data for this cross-sectional study were gathered from a sample of 1,910 industrial employees by using a previously validated questionnaire. The measure of inactive commuting to work was based on self-reported time and mode of transportation to work on most days of a typical week. Data analysis was carried out through binary logistic regression using a hierarchical approach. It was observed that 84.2% of workers were inactive commuters. After adjustment for demographic, socio-economic, and other health-related factors in both men and women, it was found that family income and company size were directly associated with inactive commuting to work. Moreover, among men, inactive commuting was directly associated with schooling level and was associated with a self-reported diabetes. It was concluded that the prevalence of inactive commuting to work was high and directly associated with individual, social, and organizational factors.

Prevalência de saúde cardiovascular ideal na população brasileira - Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (2013)

“…In this study, all of the data used were self-reported, whereas in some of the studies conducted in high-income countries (similar to the United States of America) only information directly measured in the population of interest was used 13 . Once self-reported measures tend to be less precise than those measured directly, the prevalence rates presented here tend to be less accurate than those in studies in which factors were directly investigated 14,15 . It is a known fact that, based on survey data similar to PNS, the adult population of the country tends to overestimate positive behaviors (such as the recommended consumption of fruits and vegetables) and to underestimate those with negative connotation (such as smoking) and biological markers (such as high total cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure), which compose the underdiagnosed conditions 16,17 , leading us to the conclusion that the ideal CVH of the Brazilian population is even worse than that described in our results.…”

Associação Da Atividade Física De Lazer E Do Deslocamento Ocupacional Com a Caminhada E O Ciclismo: Um Estudo Transversal Com Brasileiros Adultos

“…Alguns estudos apontam relação negativa da caminhada e do ciclismo como meio de transporte utilizado para ir ao trabalho. Hardman et al 15 17 . De modo adicional, a percepção da insegurança pública tem provocado alterações significativas na escolha dos modos de transporte, desfavorecendo os deslocamentos urbanos a pé ou de bicicleta 18;19 .…”

Desvantagem auditiva psicossocial e fatores associados em trabalhadores do setor da construção em Mato Grosso, Brasil

“…Another limitation refers to the fact that pre-employment medical tests are performed when workers enter the construction industry, selecting only the healthiest individuals to work in the companies. This selection may lead to the occurrence of a "healthy worker effect", whereby workers with established hearing loss are rejected after the medical tests 33,34 . Also, we should not exclude a possible memory bias because the questionnaire is based on participants' recall, in which the most exposed workers may have better remembered the activities with risks of hearing loss.…”
