Triagem dos perfis lipídico e glicídico emcaminhoneiros que trafegam no centro unificado de fronteira, entre Brasil e Argentina (AU) / Screen of the profiles of lipid and glucose in truck drivers that transite in the unified center of

RESUMO

Introducao: Atualmente no Brasil, as doencas cardiovasculares (DCVs) sao as patologias de maior morbimortalidade. Os principais fatores de risco sao ma alimentacao, sedentarismo, tabagismo, etilismo, obesidade, dislipidemias, Diabetes mellitus e estresse. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar os perfis lipidico e glicidico e identificar fatores de risco associados as doencas cardiovascularesem caminhoneiros. Materiais e Metodos: A amostra foi composta por 45 caminhoneiros que passaram pelo Centro Unificado de Fronteira, entre Brasil e Argentina, nos dias 23 e 24 de abril e 21 de maio de 2007. Foi avaliado o indice de massa corporal, a circunferencia abdominal, a pressao arterial, habitos alimentares, tabagismo e historia familiar de DCVs. O perfil lipidico foi definido pelas determinacoes do colesterol total, HDL e LDL colesterol, triglicerideos; e o perfil glicidico, atraves da glicemia de jejum. Resultados: Foram encontrados 33 casos de dislipidemias, classificados em hipercolesterolemia (33%), hiperlipidemia mista (15%) e hipertrigliceridemia (30%). Os fatores de risco presentes foram obesidade (42%), obesidade visceral (78%), hipertensao (47%) e tabagismo (20%).Conclusao: Mesmo se referindo a um grupo especifico, o trabalho foi importante, pois identificou fatores de risco presentes na categoria profissional de motoristas de caminhao e com isso sua maior predisposicao ao desenvolvimento de DCVs.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Nowadays in Brazil, the cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major morbidities pathologies. The maincause of these pathologies is improper lifestyle that results in risk factors as bad feeding, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, dyslipidemia, Diabetes mellitus and stress. This study had as objective the lipid and glucose profiles evaluation, and the identification of risk factors related to the truck drivers CVDs development. Materials and Methods: The sample was composed by 45 truck drivers that went by the Unified Center of Border, among Brazil and Argentina, at the days April 23, April 24 and May 21, 2007. Thestudy evaluated the CMI (Corporal mass index), the abdominal circumference and the arterial pressure and investigated the physical activity practice, alimentary behavor, tobacco consumption, coronary artery disease family history and Diabetes mellitus. The lipid profile was defined by the biochemical determinations of the total cholesterol, the HDL fraction, the LDL fraction, triglyceride, and the glucose profile, through the fast glycemia. Results: The study demonstrated that 33 of dislipidemias cases classified at hypercholesterolemia(33%), mingle hiperlipidemia (15%) and hypertriglyceridemia (30%). The risk factors showed were obesity (42%), visceral obesity (78%), hypertension (47%) and smoke (20%). Conclusion: Although the data presented in this study refers to only one placeand a specific group, the work was important, because it evaluated the risk factors exhibition extension that the truck drivers' professional category is submitted, and with that its largest predisposition to the development of CVDs.
