Sex differences in the impact of musculoskeletal disorders on health-related quality of life: a population-based study, Campinas, SP - ISACamp 2014/15.

This article aims to estimate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MD) on the adult population of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, verifying associated demographic and socioeconomic factors, and to analyze their impact on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) according to sex. A population-based study was conducted with 2,166 individuals using data from the ISACamp 2014/15. The Medical Outcomes Study SF-36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to measure HRQoL according to MD. Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated by Poisson regression. Musculoskeletal disorders had a prevalence of 8.5% (6.7% tendonitis and 2.7% work-related musculoskeletal disorders - WMSD). Results showed a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in women, active or on leave due to illness, and in individuals with higher education levels. Moreover, reduced HRQoL scores were observed in 6 of the 8 domains, due to MD. The mental component and physical component showed greater impairment respectively among women and men after self-reported WMSD. These findings point to substantial damage from musculoskeletal disorders on the population's HRQoL. WMSD affect the HRQoL of men and women distinctly.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é estimar a prevalência de doenças musculoesqueléticas (DM) na população adulta de Campinas/SP, Brasil, verificar fatores demográficos e socioeconômicos associados e analisar o seu impacto na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) segundo sexo. Este é um estudo de base populacional utilizando dados do ISACamp 2014/15, com 2.166 indivíduos. Para a medida de QVRS, foram calculados os escores médios do Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) segundo as DM e utilizada a regressão de Poisson para estimar as razões de prevalência (RP). A prevalência de DM foi de 8,5% (6,7% de tendinite e 2,7% de doenças osteomusculares relacionadas ao trabalho - DORT). Os resultados deste estudo mostraram maior prevalência de DM em mulheres, na população adulta ativa ou afastada por doença e em indivíduos com maior escolaridade. Além disso, observou-se redução nos escores de QVRS, devido às DM, em quase todos os domínios do instrumento. O maior comprometimento foi observado no componente mental entre as mulheres, e no componente físico, entre os homens, após autorrelato de DORT. Os achados mostram o impacto substancial das DM na QVRS da população. As DORT afetam distintamente a QVRS de homens e mulheres.

Effect of chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) on the sleep of Brazilians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (CNCDs) on the onset or increase in sleep problems during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The role of the report of sadness or nervousness during the pandemic was also evaluated as a mediator of this association. Data from a behavior survey during COVID-19, conducted in Brazil with 45,161 people (18 years old or older), from April 24 to May 24, 2020, were used. The outcome variable was the onset or increase in sleep problems, and the exposure variable was the presence of CNCDs. The adjusted Odds Ratio of the association between CNCDs and sleep was estimated, and a mediation analysis was performed to test the effect of the report of sadness or nervousness on this association, using the Karlson Holm Breen method. The increase in sleep problems was reported by 44.9% of the population, and 33.9% reported at least one CNCD. The chance of sleep problems was higher among people with diabetes (1.34; 1.05-1.71), hypertension (1.26; 1.06-1.50), and with coronary heart diseases (1.36; 1.13-1.65) or respiratory diseases (1.42; 1.04-1.93). Compared to people without CNCDs, individuals with at least one CNCD had a 36% greater chance of impaired sleep (1.36; 1.19-1.55). The report of sadness or nervousness explained 45.1% of the association between CNCD and sleep. Our findings alert us to care for the emotional state and sleep of chronic patients during the waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, and indicate the need for sleep monitoring in this population.

Capacidade para o trabalho e sintomas osteomusculares em trabalhadores de um hospital público / Capacidad para el trabajo y síntomas osteomusculares en trabajadores de un hospital público / Work capability and musculoskeletal symptoms in workers at a public hospital

O objetivo do estudo foi conhecer o perfil sociodemográfico, identificar as queixas osteomusculares e avaliar a capacidade para o trabalho de trabalhadores de um hospital público. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, analítico e transversal. Constituiu-se de 31 servidores do Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo e da Unidade de Emergência de Ribeirão Preto, que foram encaminhados ao serviço de Fisioterapia no Centro de Reabilitação no período de maio a dezembro de 2012. Três questionários foram aplicados: o Questionário Sociodemográfico, que foi desenvolvido pelos pesquisadores deste estudo, o Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares, que visa a padronizar a mensuração de relatos de sintomas osteomusculares, e o questionário Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho, que possibilita a avaliação e detecção precoce de alterações na qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores. Os 31 avaliados possuem, em média, 46,5±11,8 anos, sendo 27 mulheres e 4 homens. As ocupações mais prevalentes foram: auxiliar de enfermagem (19,3%), auxiliar de serviços (19,3%) e escriturário (16,13%). Um total de 74,2% deles não praticam atividade física, 38,7% possuem mais de 20 anos no serviço e 64,5% ficam a maior parte do tempo em pé. A prevalência das queixas osteomusculares tinha relação com os joelhos, seguida das relacionadas aos ombros e lombar. A média do Índice de Capacidade para o trabalho foi de 33,84±8,35, revelando uma capacidade para o trabalho moderada. Os resultados apresentados apontam a necessidade de avaliação das condições laborais, com base em uma avaliação ergonômica fundada nos aspectos físicos, cognitivos e organizacionais do trabalho, como estratégia corretiva e/ou preventiva das lesões osteomusculares e da melhoria da capacidade de realização do trabalho.

This paper aimed to characterize the sociodemographic profile, identify musculoskeletal complaints and evaluate the work ability of a public hospital workers. This study is quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional, consisted of 31 Hospital das Clinicas' workers, from the School of Medicine, at the University of São Paulo, and the Emergency Unit of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, which were referred to the physiotherapy service at the Centre for Rehabilitation in the period from May to December 2012. Three questionnaires were administered: the Sociographic Questionnaire, developed by the researchers of this study, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, with socio-demographic intent, which aims to standardize the measurement of reported musculoskeletal symptoms, and the questionnaire Index Capacity for Work, that enables the assessment and early detection of changes in the quality of life of these workers. A total of 31 workers reviews have, on average, 46.5±11.8 years, being 27 women and 4 men. The prevalent occupations were: nursing assistant (19.3 %), auxiliary services (19.3 %) and clerks (16.13%). A number of 74.2 % did not engage in physical activity, 38.7 % have more than 20 years in service and 64.5 % are most of the time standing. The higher prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints was related to the knees, followed by shoulders and lower back. The average Index Capacity for Work was 33.84±8.35, revealing a moderate capacity to work. The presented results indicate the need to evaluate working conditions, based on an ergonomic evaluation consisted of physical, cognitive and organizational aspects of work, as well as corrective and/or preventive strategy of musculoskeletal injuries and improvements of the capacity to work.
