ABSTRACT

Fundamentos: O menor grau de escolaridade na população parece estar associado com a maior prevalência dos fatoresde risco cardiovascular (FRCV). Contudo, poucos estudos avaliaram esse fato através de análise clínica e laboratorial em centros universitários. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência dos FRCV em servidores de universidade pública. Métodos: Estudo transversal, analítico, randomizado, com 319 participantes de uma coorte de servidores universitários. Analisou-se a prevalência dos FRCV através da medição dos níveis glicêmicos e pressóricos, perfil lipídico, índices antropométricos e foram realizadas análises comparativas de subgrupos de diferentes níveis de escolaridade. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística multivariada para avaliar a associação independente entre nível de escolaridade e presença dos FRCV. Resultados: Média de idade 46,0±10,0 anos, 52,5% mulheres, 56,0% com nível superior de escolaridade, 85,6% pertencentes às classes socioeconômicas B e C. Prevalência dos FRCV: diabetes mellitus (DM) 9,4%; hipertensão arterial sistêmica(HAS) 36,7%; dislipidemia 50,5%; tabagismo 21,9%; sobrepeso 59,6%; obesidade 13,2%; sedentarismo 27,9%. O grupo de menor nível de escolaridade se associou de forma independente com maior prevalência de DM e sedentarismo, quando comparado ao grupo dos servidores com nível superior (docentes e não docentes). DM=odds ratio 2,4(IC95% 1,05-5,5) e p=0,036; sedentarismo=odds ratio 2,2 (IC95% 1,3-3,7) e p=0,003. Os subgrupos não apresentaramdiferenças quanto às demais variáveis.


Background: The lower level of education in the population appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors(CVRF). However, few studies have assessed this fact by means of clinical and laboratory analysis in universities. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in public servants at a public university.Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical and randomized study, with 319 participants of a cohort composed of university public servants.CVRF prevalence was assessed by measuring blood glucose and blood pressure levels, lipid profile and anthropometric indices, and comparative analyses were made of subgroups with different education levels. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the independentassociation between education level and presence of CVRF.Results: Mean age 46.0±10.0 years old, 52.5% women, 56.0% with higher education level, 85.6% belonging to B and C socioeconomic classes. Prevalence of CVRF: diabetes mellitus (DM) - 9.4%; systemic hypertension (SH) - 36.7%; dyslipidemia - 50.5%; smoking - 21.9%;overweight - 59.6%; obesity - 13.2%; sedentary lifestyle - 27.9%. The group with the lowest level of education had an independent association,with higher prevalence of DM and sedentary lifestyle, as compared to the group of public servants with higher level of education (teachersand non-teachers). DM=odds ratio 2.4 (95% CI 1.05 to 5.5) and p=0.036; sedentary lifestyle=odds ratio 2.2 (95% CI 1.3 to 3.7) andp=0.003. The subgroups showed no differences regarding the other variables. Conclusion: In this study, individuals with higher levels of education showed lower prevalence of diabetes and sedentary lifestyle.
