Resumo: | Cardiovascular diseases are a significant public health problem and several risk factors increase the chances of their occurrence. This study aims to investigate the presence of cardiovascular risk factors among teachers at a public university in Minas Gerais. This was a cross-sectional study that used a questionnaire to assess health conditions, anthropometry, body composition, blood pressure and food consumption. Thirty female teachers by the age of 48.3 ± 8.0 were evaluated. 60% of them were overweight, 80% had excess body fat, and 63.4% had a high risk of developing cardiovascular problems and 63% showed a high conicity index. We observed that 30% presented dyslipidemia, 10% had hypertension and 40% were sedentary. Furthermore, 96.7% of the participants reported medium, high or very high stress levels at work, while 46.6% reported a similar stress level at home. Regarding food consumption, they had an average of 4.0 meals/day (95% CI: 3.5-3.8); 93.3% consumed greens daily, 86.7% fruits, 86.7% meats and 80% milk/ derivatives. Daily fruit consumption was associated with excellent blood pressure (p = 0.017). The family history (FH) of diseases was also an important guide for the teachers' current health state, since there is a link between FH of obesity and current excess weight (p = 0.053), and between FH of dyslipidemia and abnormal waist circumference (p = 0.049). The data displayed the teachers' good dietary habits, but highlighted cardiovascular risk factors like overweight/obesity, high stress levels and sedentary habits, thus indicating the importance of carrying out health promotion actions directed specifically to this group of professionals |

O objetivo com este trabalho foi investigar a presença de fatores de risco cardiovascular entre docentes de uma universidade pública de Minas Gerais. Este é um estudo transversal, com avaliação de condições de saúde, antropometria, composição corporal, pressão arterial e do consumo alimentar por meio de questionário. Foram avaliadas 30 docentes do sexo feminino, com idade média de 48,3±8,0 anos, sendo 60% com excesso de peso, 80% excesso de gordura corporal, 63,4% risco elevado de desenvolvimento de complicações cardiovasculares e 63% com índice de conicidade elevado. Identificou-se que 30% apresentavam dislipidemia, 10%, hipertensão e 40% eram sedentárias. Adicionalmente, 96,7% das participantes referiram estresse médio, grande/muito grande no trabalho, enquanto 46,6% relataram similar nível de estresse em casa. Em relação ao consumo alimentar, verificou-se mediana de quatro refeições/dia (IC95%:3,5-3,8), consumo diário frequente de verduras (93,3%), frutas (86,7%), carnes (86,7%), leite/derivados (80%). O consumo diário frequente de frutas associou-se à pressão arterial ótima (p=0,017). O histórico familiar (HF) de doenças também foi importante para a situação atual de saúde das docentes, tendo em vista a tendência de associação de HF de obesidade com excesso de peso atual (p=0,053) e HF de dislipidemia com alteração da circunferência da cintura (p=0,049). Os dados apontam que grande parte das docentes relatou que tem bons hábitos alimentares, porém apresentou elevada prevalência de fatores de risco cardiovascular, como excesso de peso, nível de estresse elevado e sedentarismo, denotando a importância da realização de ações de promoção da saúde para esta populaçãoUniversidade Federal de Minas Gerais2010-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50432REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 14 No. 4 (2010)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 14 Núm. 4 (2010)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 14 n. 4 (2010)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50432/42038https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50432/42039Copyright (c) 2010 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessXavier, Fabiene dos AnjosBarboza, Leidiane FigueiredoMonteiro, Ananda Márcia PereiraSantos, Luana Caroline dosOliveira, Dirce Ribeiro de2024-01-24T16:47:35Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50432Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T16:47:35Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
