RESUMO

Contexto:

A síndrome metabólica (SM) tem grande importância para identificação precoce de eventos cardiovasculares. O conhecimento acerca dessa manifestação ainda é escasso, especialmente no âmbito laboral.

Objetivo:

Identificar colaboradores com SM durante o exame periódico do ano de 2015, de acordo com o sexo e a idade.

Métodos:

Foi realizado estudo transversal durante o exame periódico de 2015, em que foram avaliados 1.787 colaboradores de uma fábrica de papel no Estado do Paraná, sendo 1.643 homens e 144 mulheres com idades entre 21 e 65 anos. Os colaboradores compareceram ao ambulatório médico com resultado dos exames laboratoriais como glicemia de jejum, colesterol total e frações, e triglicerídeos. Também foram aferidas a pressão arterial, a medida do peso e a altura para o cálculo do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e para a medida da circunferência abdominal. A SM foi definida segundo critério estabelecido pela International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Foi utilizado o teste do χ2 para avaliar a incidência de SM.

Resultados:

Constatou-se que 16,9% dos colaboradores da fábrica têm SM. Entre os homens, a porcentagem de SM foi de 17,9%, e entre as mulheres, de 5,5%.

Conclusão:

Esses dados mostram a importância de implantação de Programas de Qualidade de Vida visando reduzir ou prevenir fatores de risco e a ocorrência dos agravos. Esses programas promovem a melhoria da saúde em médio e longo prazo, o que proporciona melhores condições de trabalho e de vida.
ABSTRACT
Context Metabolic syndrome (MS) is highly important to the early identification of cardiovascular events. However, knowledge on this manifestation is still rare, especially at the working field.

Objective:

To identify workers with MS during the 2015 periodic examination according to sex and age.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study during the 2015 periodic examination was carried out. It evaluated 1,787 workers from a paper factory in the state of Paraná, Brazil (1,643 men and 144 women aged 21 to 65 years). Workers attended the medical outpatient clinic bearing their results of laboratorial examinations, such as fasting blood glucose test, total cholesterol and fractions, and triglycerides. Blood pressure, weight, and height were measured to calculate the body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference measurements. The MS was established based on criteria from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). The χ2 test was used for assessing the MS incidence.

Results:

It was found that 16.9% of the factory workers have MS. The MS percentage among men was of 17.9% and 5.5% among women.

Conclusion:

These data show the importance of implementing Quality of Life Programs that aim at reducing or preventing risk factors and damage occurrence. These programs promote health improvement at medium and long terms, which provide better work and life conditions.
