“…A prevalência de HAS, 13,2%, obtida no grupo de trabalhadores foi muito próxima daquelas encontradas nos estudos de Cordeiro et al 1 al 10 (2001) que trabalharam com outros grupos de profissionais e também àquela estimada para o Brasil (15%) por Kholmann et al 7 (1999).…”

Resumo ObjetivoEstimar as prevalências de perda auditiva induzida por ruído e hipertensão arterial em condutores de ônibus urbanos. Métodos Executou-se estudo transversal em amostra probabilística de 108 motoristas da cidade de Campinas, SP. Aplicou-se questionário sobre história profissional, jornadas de trabalho e repouso, e realizou-se exame físico e laboratorial incluindo medida da pressão arterial, audiometria tonal limiar, logoaudiometria e dados antropométricos, após a obtenção de consentimento. Resultados A prevalência de perda auditiva induzida por ruído foi de 32,7% do total examinado. Segundo a classificação de Merluzzi, nos 31 casos classificados em primeiro e segundo graus, observou-se que a freqüência audiométrica com perda auditiva mais acentuada foi a de 6 kHz (61,3%), seguida pela de 4 kHz (38,7%), sem diferenças significantes quanto à lateralidade. A prevalência de hipertensão arterial diastólica (PAD≥90 mmHG; PAS≥140 mmHG) foi de 13,2% dos examinados. Conclusões O risco de disacusia induzida por ruído foi maior para os motoristas com mais de seis anos de trabalho, após ajuste para a perda relacionada com a idade, com um odds ratio de 19,25 (1,59

“…1 Although there are no Brazilian surveys on hypertension prevalence among health care professionals, some regional studies reveal a prevalence ranging from 22% to 44% in the urban adult population, considering the hypertension criterion as blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg. [2][3][4][5][6][7] There are some studies in specific populations such as general employees, 8 civil construction workers, 9 bank employees, 10 university servants, 11 and workers in a leather factory, 12 revealing prevalences of 15%, 16%, 18%, 22% and 56%, respectively. In the health area, a study carried out in the city of Salvador, Bahia, with the members of a hospital nursing staff showed a prevalence of 36%.…”

PURPOSE:To find out the prevalence of hypertension in employees of the Hospital and relate it to social demographic variables.METHODS: Blood pressure measurement was performed with a mercury sphygmomanometer, using an appropriate cuff size for arm circumference, weight, and height in a population sample of 864 individuals out of the 9,905 employees of a University General Hospital stratified by gender, age, and job position.RESULTS: Hypertension prevalence was 26% (62% of these reported being aware of their hypertension and 38% were unaware but had systolic/diastolic blood pressures of ≥140 and/or ≥90 mm Hg at the moment of the measurement). Of those who were aware of having hypertension, 51% were found to be hypertensive at the moment of the measurement. The prevalence was found to be 17%, 23%, and 29% (P <.05) in physicians, nursing staff, and "others", respectively. The univariate analysis showed a significant odds ratio for the male gender, age ≥50 years, work unit being the Institute of Radiology and the Administration Building, educational level ≤elementary school, length of work ≥10 years, and body mass index ≥30 kg/m 2 . The multivariate logistic regression model revealed a statistically significant association of hypertension with the following variables: gender, age, skin color, family income, and body mass index.CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension prevalence was high, mainly in those who were not physicians or members of the nursing staff. High-risk groups (obese, non-white, men, low family income) should be better advised of prevention and early diagnosis of hypertension by means of special programs.

“…Only 58% of the workers showed body mass index (BMI) within normal limits, and overweight was the most frequent alteration. These results are provided in greater detail in Cordeiro et al 1 With the exception of cumulated work time, these variables presented only minor fluctuations in their distribution during the follow-up period.…”

“…Cordeiro et al 1 , in a cross-sectional study in 1993, reported the prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension or high blood pressure (HBP) among workers in a medium-sized tannery in the city of Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil, calling attention to the high HBP prevalence as compared to other occupational groups in Brazil. More than half of the workers presented HBP.…”

The aim of this study was to measure the incidence of high blood pressure (HBP) in a medium-size tannery in Botucatu, São Paulo State, southeast Brazil. A previous study at this tannery showed a high prevalence of arterial hypertension. A positive correlation was found between cumulated work time and arterial pressure. We followed a cohort of workers for seven years. At the end of this period, HBP incidence rate was calculated as 0.0964.year(-1). This was considered high compared to other occupational groups.
