“…We observed negative associations with work ability for the medical diagnosis of chronic diseases and depression, which indicates that persons with these conditions have a worse evaluation of their work ability. Mental disorders are the first cause of disability in the world and the third cause of absenteeism and disability retirement in Brazil 29 . Mental disorders are also significantly associated with unemployment and early retirement because of permanent or temporary incapacity 30 .…”

OBJECTIVE To examine factors associated with perception of work ability in a nationally representative sample of Brazilians aged 50 years and over.METHODS We used data from 8,903 participants of the baseline survey of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil). The dependent variable was self-rated work ability (good or very good versus fair, poor, or very poor). Independent variables included factors that operate at the beginning, middle, and current stage of life. Multivariate analysis was based on prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) estimated by Poisson regression.RESULTS Good work ability was reported by 49% of \ participants (49.4% among men and 48.6% among women). Results of the multivariate analysis showed that, for both men and women, good work ability showed positive and statistically significant associations (p < 0.05) with good health up to 15 years of age (PR = 1.22 and 1.18 , respectively), educational level ≥ 8 years (PR = 1.19 and 1.21, respectively), and current good self-rated health (PR = 1.88 and 1.94, respectively). Negative associations were observed for current age (PR = 0.99 for each increase of one year among men and women), medical diagnosis of depression (PR = 0.70 for men and PR = 0.87 for women), and having one or more at least chronic diseases (PR = 0.88 for men and 0.91 for women). Only for men, positive associations for the age at which they started working (PR = 1.14 and 1.12 for 11–17 and ≥ 18 years, respectively) and living with a spouse (PR = 1.09) were found.CONCLUSIONS Work ability in older ages is built over the life course, particularly by the health conditions in childhood and adolescence, age at which men begin working, educational level, and health conditions in older ages. Policies aimed at increasing longevity in the labor market must take these factors into account.

“…These outcomes are achieved by patterns of health determinants" [1]. Recent studies and socio-ecological models have been demonstrating that population health is influenced by economic factors, employment, education status, access to green spaces, walkability, water and air quality and individual behavior [2][3][4][5][6][7]. This wide range of factors can be considered as environment because formally, everything other than the genome is or can be connoted as part of the environment [8].…”

et al. 2020

Background: Population health is influenced by interactions between environmental determinants, which are captured by dimensions and indicators. This study aims to systematically review key environmental determinants and respective dimensions and indicators, relevant to evaluate population health in urban settings, and to understand their potential implications into policies. Methods: A search of literature published between 2008 and 2018 was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO Portugal databases, on studies with evidence on association between an environmental determinant and a health outcome in urban contexts. Health determinants, dimensions and indicators researched in the selected studies were synthetized, and associations analyzed. An independent assessment of quality of the studies was performed. Key conclusions and policy recommendations were extracted to build a framework to analyze environment related population health and policies in urban settings. Results: Ninety four studies of varied methodological approaches and quality met the inclusion criteria. The review identified positive associations between all environmental determinants-socioeconomic, built environment, natural environment, healthcare, behaviors, and health outcomes-overall mortality and morbidity, in urban settings. Improvements in income, education, air quality, occupation status, mobility and smoking habits indicators have positive impact in overall mortality and chronic diseases morbidity indicators. Initiatives to improve population health in which policymakers can be more evidence-informed include socioeconomic, natural environment and built environment determinants. Conclusions: There is scope and need to further explore which environmental determinants and dimensions most contribute to population health to create a series of robust evidence-based measures to better inform urban planning policies.

Esta pesquisa visou identificar fatores de sofrimento psíquico-social em desempregados. A coleta de dados foi realizada no Posto de Atendimento ao Trabalhador localizado num município do estado de São Paulo. Um Questionário Sociodemográfico e a escala para avaliação de sofrimento psíquico-social de trabalhadores desempregados foram utilizados para coleta de dados. Dos 100 respondentes, 57% são homens e 43% são mulheres, na faixa etária de 19 a 41 anos, com tempo médio de desemprego de 11,7 meses. A escala apresentou a média dos itens que correspondem ao sofrimento psíquico igual a 3,32 (desvio padrão = 1,29), com variação entre "às vezes" e "frequentemente" para aspectos como insegurança, medo e vergonha, enquanto a média do sofrimento social foi de 1,84 (desvio padrão = 0,98), variando entre "raramente" e "às vezes" com indicadores de suporte social de familiares e amigos. Os resultados revelaram a vivência do desemprego por parte dos respondentes e apontou para a necessidade de ações da psicologia nas áreas social, de trabalho e clínica voltadas a auxiliar nos impactos provocados pelo desemprego bem como a criação de políticas públicas para diminuir o impacto da recessão.Palavras-chave: Desemprego, Precarização do trabalho, Sofrimento psíquico e social, Psicologia social e do trabalho. Psycho and social suffering in unemployment situationsThis study aimed to identify psychic and social suffering factors in unemployed individuals. Data collection was conducted at a Center of Services to Workers located in a municipality in the state of São Paulo. A Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the instrument to assess psycho-social suffering in unemployed workers were used for data collection. Out of 100 respondents, 57% are men and 43% are women, aged between 19 and 41, with mean unemployment time of 11.7 months. The instrument presented the mean of the items that correspond to psychic suffering equal to 3.32 (standard deviation = 1.29), with variation between "sometimes" and "often" for aspects such as insecurity, fear and shame, while the mean of social suffering was 1.84 (standard deviation = 0.98), varying between "rarely" and "sometimes" with social support indicators from family members and friends. The results revealed the experience of unemployment on the part of respondents and pointed to the need for psychology actions in the social, work and clinical areas aimed at assisting the impacts caused by unemployment as well as the creation of public policies to reduce the impact of recession.
