RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Compare Cardiovascular Risk between workers in Brazil and Portugal who work in the teaching context and its relationship with Lifestyle and Common Mental Disorder. METHODS: Cross-sectional study that compared the cardiovascular health conditions of teaching workers in Manaus (Brazil) and Coimbra (Portugal). The odds ratio between groups was estimated. RESULTS: The differences were: Smoking and hypercholesterolemia in participants from Portugal. Hypertension, chronic disease, increased abdominal perimeter, common mental disorder, and absence from work in Brazil. The variables with the greatest effect for high cardiovascular risk were: Country-Portugal [17.273 (95%CI1.538-193.951)], sex-male [61.577 (95%CI5.398-702.469)] and smoking [593.398 (95%CI57.330-6.142.020)]. CONCLUSION: The differences in risk between groups showed that participants from Portugal, men, with high blood pressure and/or smokers are the most vulnerable to having a cardiovascular event. There is a need for interventions to promote cardiovascular health in the workplace in both countries.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Comparar el Riesgo Cardiovascular entre trabajadores de Brasil y Portugal que actúan em el contexto docente y su relación con el Estilo de Vida y el Trastorno Mental Común. Métodos: Estudio transversal que comparo las condiciones de salud cardiovascular de trabajadores docentes de Manaos (Brasil) y Coimbra (Portugal). Se estimó el odds ratio entre grupos. Resultados: Las diferencias fueron: Tabaquismo e hipercolesterolemia en participantes de Portugal. Hipertensión, enfermedad crónica, aumento del perímetro abdominal, trastorno mental común y ausentismo laboral en Brasil. Las variables com mayor efecto para alto riesgo cardiovascular fueron: País-Portugal [17.273 (IC95%1.538-193.951)], sexo-masculino [61.577 (IC95%5.398-702.469)] y tabaquismo [593.398(IC95%57.330- 6.142.020)]. Conclusión: Las diferencias de riesgo entre grupos mostraron que los participantes portugueses, los hombres, los hipertensos y/o fumadores son los más vulnerables a sufrir un evento cardiovascular. Es necesario realizar intervenciones para promover la salud cardiovascular en el lugar de trabajo en ambos países.
RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar o Risco Cardiovascular entre trabalhadores do Brasil e Portugal que atuam no contexto do ensino e sua relação com Estilo de Vida e Transtorno Mental Comum. Métodos: Estudo transversal que comparou as condições de saúde cardiovascular de trabalhadores do ensino de Manaus (Brasil) e Coimbra (Portugal). Foi estimada a razão de chance entre grupos. Resultados: As diferenças foram: Tabagismo e hipercolesterolemia nos participantes de Portugal. Hipertensão, doença crônica, perímetro abdominal aumentado, transtorno mental comum e afastamento do trabalho no Brasil. As variáveis com maior efeito para risco cardiovascular alto foram: País-Portugal [17.273 (IC95%1.538-193.951)], sexo-masculino [61.577 (IC95%5.398 -702.469)] e tabagismo [593.398(IC95%57.330- 6.142.020)]. Conclusão: As diferenças de risco entre grupos mostraram que os participantes de Portugal, homens, com pressão arterial aumentada e/ou tabagistas são os mais vulneráveis a ter evento cardiovascular. Há necessidades de intervenções para a promoção da saúde cardiovascular no ambiente laboral nos dois países.
