“…Curiously that finding did not occur in the comparison between eutrophic and obese individuals. The study by Souza et al 23 , which assessed the prevalence of dyslipidemia in other region of Brazil, showed a significant statistic difference in the prevalence among individuals with and without overweight. However, the same was not seen in relation to obesity.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the lipidic profile of overweight and obese individuals submitted to cardiologic assessment and who did not show evidences of cardiopathy. MethodsSample with 684 individuals, 389 (56.9%) 26.15 and in men 26.33 (p=ns). In the analysis through BMI ranges there was a significant difference between the sexes (p=0.037). In the categories of overweight and obesity, only the means of triglycerides in women showed a significant statistic difference: overweight women with 102.25±60.68 mg/dL and obese 121.64±63.57 mg/dL (p=0.034). ConclusionWomen without cardiopathy showed serum levels of glucose, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol lower than men's. In both sexes, the means are lower in the comparison with eutrophic and overweight, and only the triglycerides average of women with overweight and obesity showed significant statistic difference.

“…Migration to urban centers and adoption of a sedentary lifestyle is likely related to rising lipid levels and prevalence of dyslipidemia [16]. Regional variations in the prevalence of dyslipidemia were previously reported in national and international studies [5][6][7][8]26,27] and may be due to other variables in addition to geographical location. The associations between dyslipidemia and male gender and advancing age detected in this study are in agreement with previous studies in the KSA [5][6][7][8] and other population-based and hospital-based studies [19,[21][22][23].…”

Data were collected and analyzed from a cross-sectional study using the World Health Organization's STEPwise approach, to estimate the prevalence of various types of dyslipidemia and determine their associated factors among adults in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study population included 4490 Saudi adults aged 15 years and older who were selected by a stratified, multistage, cluster random sampling technique. Lipid profile was determined by spectrophotometrically by biochemical methods, high total cholesterol (TC) was defined as TC of 5.2 mmol/L or more, hypertriglyceridemia as serum triglycerides level 1.7 mmol/L or more and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as serum HDL-C 0.9 mmol/L or less, LDL-C 3.35 mmol/L or more and TC/HDL ratio 5 or more. Of the 4490 subjects (94.4% of total sample) included in the final analysis, 51% were females, 23% of study subjects were less than 25 years and 11% were 55 or more years of age. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia ranged from about 20% to 40%. The highest prevalence was for triglycerides where about 44% of all subjects were affected. About a fifth of the subjects had high level of total cholesterol. Males had significantly higher prevalence of all types of dyslipidemia than female except LDL-C and TC. Higher dyslipidemia prevalence of total cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly found in older subjects, illiterates and housekeepers. Lower prevalence rates for HDL-C was significantly observed in retired and youngest subjects. There were significant regional variations and significantly higher prevalence of dyslipidemia among hypertensives, diabetics, obese/overweight, smokers and physically inactive subjects. There were no significant differences according to income or fruits and vegetable consumption. Logistic regression analysis revealed that obesity/overweight, gender, age, diabetes were the most important significant predictors of dyslipidemia. The findings of this study suggest that the prevalence of dyslipidemia is high in Saudi Arabia. Multisectorial intervention strategies are needed targeting the predictors and significant risk factors identified.

“…It is emphasized, however, that the drivers' age was relatively younger, which may evidence early lipid alteration, as a result of their inadequate lifestyle (22)(23) . As for life habits, particularly alcoholic beverage consumption, findings were similar to two Brazilian studies in the same professional group (22)(23)(24) , but higher when compared with population-based studies in the South of Brazil (25) .…”

Objectives:To verify the prevalence of hypertension and obesity among professional freight truck drivers and associate them with studied variables. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study covering a sample of 258 professional freight truck drivers, traveling on the highway BR-116, on the Regis Bittencourt portion, in Sao Paulo state. Results: Drivers were young adults (37.5±10 years), 19% were smokers, 55% reported drinking alcohol, 74% were sedentary, 57% used sleep-inhibiting drugs; they traveled an average of 800 km/day and drove 10 hours/day. The prevalence of hypertension was 37%, 46% were overweight, 36% were obese and 58% had high waist circumference. The logistic regression analysis indicated that hypertension was associated (OD: Odds ratio, CI: confidence interval 95%) with: increased body mass index (OR = 1.183 CI 1.065 to 1.314); blood glucose (OR = 1.039 CI 1.004 to 1.076); and habit of using drugs that inhibit sleep (OR = 0.322 CI 0.129 to 0.801). Conclusion: Among professionals was significant the presence of hypertension, overweight and obesity. Keywords: Risk factors; Obesity; Cardiovascular disease/prevention; control; Occupational health RESUMO Objetivos: Verificar a prevalência de hipertensão arterial e obesidade em motoristas profissionais de transporte de carga e associá-la com variáveis estudadas. Métodos: Estudo transversal abragendo amostra de 258 motoristas profissionais de transporte de cargas que trafegavam pela Rodovia BR-116, no trecho paulista Regis Bittencourt. Resultados: Os motoristas eram adultos jovens (37,5±10 anos), 19% tabagistas, 55% referiram ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas, 74% sedentários, 57% usavam medicamentos inibidores do sono, percorriam em média 800 km/dia e dirigiam 10 horas/dia. A prevalência da hipertensão arterial foi de 37%, 46% tinham sobrepeso, 36% obesidade e 58% circunferência abdominal aumentada. A análise de regressão logística indicou que a hipertensão arterial se associou (OD: Odds ratio, IC: intervalo de confiança a 95%) com: aumento do índice de massa corporal (OR=1,183 IC 1,065-1,314); glicemia (OR=1,039 IC 1,004-1,076); e hábito de ingerir medicamento para inibir o sono (OR= 0,322 IC 0,801). Conclusão: Foi expressiva a presença de hipertensão, sobrepeso e obesidade nesses profissionais. Descritores: Fatores de riscos; Obesidade; Doenças cardiovasculares/prevenção e controle; Saúde ocupacional RESUMEN Objetivos: Verificar la prevalencia de hipertensión arterial y obesidad en choferes profesionales de transporte de carga y asociarla con variables estudiadas.
