Post-COVID-19 metabolic syndrome: a new challenge for nursing care

In crisis scenarios, the professions that have the essence of caring for are highlighted. In this sense, during the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing played a key role in the identification, testing, care and rehabilitation of patients.(1) It was through this profession that many clients were fully assisted in the process of illness/rehabilitation, revealing the importance of the category for the health system; a fact that also persists in a post-COVID scenario. COVID-19 led to the collapse of global health with high rates of mortality and hospital morbidity, generating an estimated 18.2 million deaths around the world.(2) Nevertheless, it is known that COVID-19 is a respiratory disease with vascular implications that interact with cardiometabolic factors such as oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, overweight, increased body fat and alterations in the microbiome, leading to systemic complications and death.(3)

Interaction between Work and Metabolic Syndrome: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clinical condition and a relevant risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases; it occurs as a result of lifestyle factors, e.g., work. The aim of this research was to estimate the interaction between work and MS among primary health care (PHC) nursing professionals in the state of Bahia, Brazil. A sectional multicentered study carried out in 43 municipalities in Bahia, whose study population consisted of nursing professionals. The exposure variables were occupation, professional exhaustion, and working time, and the outcome variable was MS. Interaction measures based on the additivity criteria were verified by calculating the excess risks due to the interactions and according to the proportion of cases attributed to the interactions and the synergy index. The global MS prevalence is 24.4%. There was a greater magnitude in the exposure group regarding the three investigated factors (average level occupation, professional exhaustion, and working time in PHC for more than 5 years), reaching an occurrence of 44.9% when compared to the prevalence of 13.1% in the non-exposure group (academic education, without professional burnout, and working time in PHC for up to 5 years). The study's findings showed a synergistic interaction of work aspects for MS occurrence among PHC nursing professionals.
