As anfetaminas conhecidas como "rebites" são normalmente utilizadas por caminhoneiros. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência e fatores associados à utilização autorrelatada de anfetaminas entre caminhoneiros que trafegam na rodovia BR 251, no trecho de Montes Claros, MG, com parada em um posto de combustível. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo com seleção dos indivíduos por amostragem de conveniência. Foi utilizado um questionário com dados sociodemográficos, econômicos, ocupacionais e relacionados às anfetaminas. Realizou-se a análise bivariada, cuja variável dependente foi o uso de anfetaminas e aquelas que apresentaram associação ao nível de 20% (p≤0,20) foram selecionadas para a análise múltipla utilizando a Regressão de Poisson. Permaneceram no modelo as variáveis com desfecho ao nível de 5% (p≤ 0,05). Dentre os 306 pesquisados, 22,2% eram usuários de anfetaminas, sendo o princípio ativo mais utilizado o Femproporex (Desobesi®). A média de idade foi de 41 anos, variando de 22 a 77 anos. A maioria trabalha mais de 10 horas diárias. O uso de anfetaminas esteve associado aos profissionais mais jovens e com maior carga horária de trabalho. Faz-se necessário um controle maior sobre a venda desses medicamentos por parte dos órgãos competentes.Palavras-chave: Prevalência. Anfetaminas.

This study aimed to verify the prevalence and factors associated with the self-reported use of amphetamines among truck drivers who travel on the BR 251 highway, in the Montes Claros stretch, MG, stopping at a fuel station. It is a cross-sectional, quantitative study with selection of individuals by convenience sampling. A questionnaire with socio-demographic, economic, occupational and amphetamine-related data was used. The bivariate analysis was performed, whose dependent variable was the use of amphetamines, and those that showed association at the level of 20% (p≤0.20) were selected to multiple variety analysis using Poisson Regression. Remain in analysis only variables whose end point was 5% (p≤0.05). Among 306 participants, 22.2% had used amphetamine, Femproporex (Desobesi®)was the most common active principle used. Mean age was 41 years, range 22 to 77 years old. Most interviewed works more than 10 hours a day. Younger drivers and more daily hours of work were associated with amphetamine use. Finally, to decrease amphetamine use and abuse, it is essential a closer sale control on this drugs by the government.Keywords: Prevalence. Amphetamines. Illicit Drugs.

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with abdominal obesity in climacteric women assisted at Family Health Strategy units of the city of Montes Claros, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a cross-sectional analytical study. The women were selected by probabilistic sampling from August 2014 to August 2015. A questionnaire containing information referring to sociodemographic and economic characteristics, behavioral characteristics and clinical data was used. To estimate abdominal obesity, the measure of circumference � 88 cm was considered. To analyze the association between abdominal obesity and the independent variables, a bivariate analysis was performed by means of Pearson's chi-square test (p�0.25). Subsequently, a multiple Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was performed, through which prevalence ratios with level of significance of 5% (p<0.05) were obtained. A total of 805 women were evaluated, aged 40 to 65 years, and the prevalence of women with abdominal obesity was 62.4%. The mean and median of abdominal circumference were 93.0 cm. The associated variables were being sedentary (PR = 1.44) or irregularly active (PR = 1.39), presenting altered total cholesterol (PR = 1.21), and being hypertensive (PR = 1.31). The abdominal obesity in climacteric women was associated with physical inactivity, total cholesterol and arterial hypertension. The measurement of abdominal circumference must be valued and adopted in the routine of professionals who work in Primary Care.

Objective:to verify the profile of teachers with absenteeism due to dysphonia and aphoniaand the prevalence in the period of 2017 and 2018. Materials and methods:this is a descriptive temporary series, with secondary data about occurrence of absenteeism in teachers from municipal education network of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, who presented medical reports in 2017 and 2018, diagnosed with ICD-10 in the category R49.0, R49.1, delivered to the Coordination of Occupational Health and Health Care (CSTAS). Results:forty-seven teachers presented medical report in the last two years, with a mean 48.2 years and median of 49 years, minimum of 33 and maximum of 61 years. There was a predominance of females (93.6%), with the majority (88.4%) working 20 hours a week, 68.1% as a teacher in basic education 1 (first to fifth year) and 31.9% in basic education 2 (sixth year or year). As for the length of service, the average was 17.7 years and the median was 12 years. Regarding absences, the reports presented during the year included the following International Disease Codes (ICD) and respective percentagesof patients as reasons: 93.6% (N=44) with ICD R49.0 (dysphonia) and 6.4% (N=3) with the ICD R49.1 (aphonia). The prevalence of absenteeism was 1.7% in 2017 and 1.4% in 2018. Conclusion:the prevalence of absenteeism was low, with a predominance of females, aged between 33 and 61 years, working in basic education 1 and a weekly workload of 20 hours. Epidemiological studies are suggested to verify presenteeism.

O artigo apresenta a estrutura e a dinâmica do mercado de dados pessoais. Mostra a dimensão econômica do dado pessoal para a economia da informação. Apresenta as quatro camadas do mercado de dados: a coleta e armazenamento de informações; o processamento e a mineração de dados; a análise e a formação de amostras; e a modulação. Essas camadas se articulam e se misturam dependendo da organização das empresas que integram esse mercado. O artigo mostra ainda os elementos do mercado de dados no Brasil a partir de entrevistas realizadas com seus operadores. Por fim, indica a relevância do direito à privacidade para impor limites às atividades da economia da interceptação de dados.Palavras-chave: Mercado de Dados Pessoais. Privacidade.
