- Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and associated factors in women aged 35 to 65 years who were enrolled in a family health program in Brazil(2013) SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso; CARDOSO, Maria Regina Alves; LOPES, Heno; PEREIRA, Wendry Maria Paixao; PEREIRA, Elaine Cristina; REZENDE, Debora Aparecida Paccola de; GUARIZI, Rubia Guibo; DELLU, Mayra Cecilia; OLIVEIRA, Jessica de Moura; FLAUZINO, Erika; BLUEMEL, Juan E.; ALDRIGHI, Jose MendesObjective: The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among women aged 35 to 65 years and to identify associated factors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. We randomly selected 581 women (aged 35-65 y) from among those enrolled in a family health program in the city of Pindamonhangaba, Brazil. Metabolic syndrome was identified in accordance with the definition of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Health conditions and lifestyle habits were evaluated by a survey, and anthropometric measurements were obtained. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was estimated, and Poisson regression was used to evaluate the associations between metabolic syndrome 'and the factors investigated. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 42.2% (95% CI, 38.1-46.2). The most common metabolic syndrome component was abdominal obesity (60.6%), followed by low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (51.3%), high levels of triglycerides (41.4%), high blood pressure (31.7%), and diabetes (13.9%). The following factors were associated with metabolic syndrome: the 45- to 54-year age group (prevalence ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.08-2.01), the 55- to 65-year age group (prevalence ratio, 3.51; 95% CI, 1.49-3.10), hyperuricemia (prevalence ratio, 2.95; 95% CI, 1.15-1.86), and sleep apnea risk (prevalence ratio, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.16-1.82). We found an inverse association between metabolic syndrome and having had more than 5 years of schooling (prevalence ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.65-1.04). Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high, and the associated clinical factors are hyperuricemia and risk of sleep apnea.
- Prevalência da sonolência diurna excessiva e fatores associados em mulheres de 35 a 49 anos de idade do “Projeto de Saúde de Pindamonhangaba” (PROSAPIN)(2012) PEREIRA, Elaine Cristina Alves; SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso; CARDOSO, Maria Regina Alves; PEREIRA, Wendry Maria Paixao; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; BLUMEL, Juan Enrique; ALDRIGHI, Jose MendesObjective: To estimate the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and to identify associated factors in women aged 35 to 49 years from the ""Pindamonhangaba Health Project"" (PROSAPIN). Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study of 372 women aged 35 to 49 years, randomly selected from the Family Health Strategy (FHS) program of the city of Pindamonhangaba, SP, Brazil, where the ""Pindamonhangaba Health Project"" (PROSAPIN) is being developed. EDS was assessed through interviews using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the associated factors through questions that investigated sociodemographic characteristics, gynecological history, presence of comorbidities, lifestyle, sleep routine, and use of drugs capable of altering the state of alertness; anthropometric variables were also measured. The prevalence of EDS was estimated with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and the associated factors were identified through a multiple logistic regression model performed with the Stata software, release 10.0. Results: EDS prevalence was 18.5% (95% CI: 14.7-22.9) and the associated factors were: profession related to domestic services (OR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.1-4.3), physical activity level above the mean of the study population (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.4), and presence of features suggestive of anxiety (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.4). Conclusion: The prevalence of EDS in women aged 35-49 years from PROSAPIN was high and associated with sociodemographic characteristics, presence of comorbidities, and lifestyle.
