Resumo: | The affirmative from highly industrialized countries that female workers have a greater absentism due to illness than male workers was investigated in a textile mill of the city of S. Paulo, Brazil, employing 43.8% male and 56.2% female workers; the time of observation was three years. During the period of observation the frequency rate, the duration rate and the average duration of spells of absence were obtained for the male and female workers; in the case of the latter, absences from work caused by diseases of the reproductive system were separated from those caused by other illnesses. The average frequency rate was 2.67 for male workers and 0.072 and 2.88 for female workers; the duration rate was, respectively, 9.35 and 0.456 and 8.56. The average duration of each spell was 3.49 for male workers and 2.49 for female workers when diseases alone, however, ascribed for an average value of 6.32. In the studied group absentism due to illness was practically alike in both sexes; however, absentism due to diseases of the reproductive system, despite its minimal importance as cause of absentism in general, has a much longer duration than that of other diseases of female workers, thus stressing the importance of proper medical care of these workers. |

Procurando verificar no Brasil a veracidade da afirmativa de que trabalhadores do sexo feminino apresentam absenteísmo por doença muito superior ao do sexo masculino, foi feito um estudo, durante um período de 3 anos, de um grupo de trabalhadores têxteis, dos quais 43,8% eram do sexo masculino e 56,2% do feminino, observando-se o coeficiente de freqüência, o coeficiente de gravidade e a duração média das ausências dos trabalhadores masculinos e dos femininos. Nestes foram estudadas as ausências por quaisquer doenças, exceto ginecopatias, e as ausências apenas por ginecopatias. Foi verificado que o coeficiente de freqüência médio dos homens foi de 2,67 e das mulheres de 2,88 e 0,072; o coeficiente de gravidade foi, respectivamente, de 9,35 e de 8,56 e 0,456. Quanto à duração média das ausências por período, os homens atingiram 3,49 e as mulheres 2,97 com exclusão das ginecopatias; estas, porém, implicavam valor médio de 6,32. Conclui-se que no grupo estudado o absenteísmo por doença masculino e feminino praticamente se equivalem, mas que as ausências ao trabalho por ginecopatias, não obstante sua freqüência e gravidade baixas, devem merecer a atenção médica pela duração média das ausências, por período, ser apreciavelmente elevada.
