Fatores de risco cardiovasculares em mototaxistas da cidade de Cajazeiras-PB.

Abstract

Introduction: Motoboys are subject to cardiovascular risk matters that can negatively influence their ability to work, as well as cardiovascular risks or diseases itself. Objective: To compare the risks of cardiovascular venture and the minimums according to the work shift and a working day. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study, composed of registered motoboys without union of the syndicate of Cajazeiras - PB. The professionals were invited to join the study, which is a convenience sample, totaling 95 interviewed. The motoboys respond to a questionnaire about socio-demographic data, health and lifestyle, work and also performed blood collection to determine the plasma concentrations of glycemia, total cholesterol and fractions, in addition to triglycerides. Subsequently, cardiovascular risk was calculated based on the Framingham Global Score. The variables were described by ways of relative and absolute frequencies, measures of central tendency (average) and dispersion (standard deviation). The Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare the variables of the non-parametric variables according to the work shift and the daily work day, and for the parametric oscilations the ANOVA or t- Student The qualitative variables were evaluated by the proportionality test (Chi-square and Fisher's Exact), according to the work shift and the daily workday. In all tests the level of 5% of statistical significance was adopted. Results: The average age of participants was 37,1 years; 59% was classified as mature, 96,8% were non-smokers, 57,9% were alcoholic, and 41,1% Of sedentary. Regarding the work characteristics, the predominance was 51,5% working morning and afternoon (daytime), 97.3% working from Monday to Saturday, 43,1% with a daily workday of eleven hours or more, 66,3% reported having a moderate necessity for recovery after work and 67,4% reported having a low capacity for work rate. Regarding cardiovascular risk factors, 84,2% of the interviewees were overweight and 80% had a high cervical perimeter. On the other hand, 67,4% had normal systemic arterial pressure, and 85,3% had a low-waist / hip ratio. As for the lipid profile, 52,6% had high cholesterol levels, 51,6% had high LDL-cholesterol, 56,8% had low HDL-cholesterol levels, 41,1% had high triglyceride levels and less 10% have high blood glycose levels. Regarding the Framingham Risk Score, the study showed that 51,6% of mototaxis are at risk for cardiovascular events. A higher proportion of motoboys with hypertriglyceridemia was evidenced in the professionals of the day shift and at night until 10 p.m. (p<0.05). There was a higher proportion of mototaxis with high glycemia among those working six to eight hours (p<0.01). The highest proportion of hypertriglyceridemia was among those who worked 11 hours or more (p<0.04). There was no significant alteration between insomnia regarding cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusion: The cardiovascular risk factors and the sleep aspects of the mototaxistas had little difference in the shifts and working days. There was also no difference in cardiovascular risk factors due to insomnia symptoms. On the other hand, the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, insomnia symptoms and risk for cardiovascular events were high.
