Caracterização e Avaliação Antropométrica dos Trabalhadores dos Restaurantes Universitários da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

Introdução: Devido à relação positiva entre as condições de saúde e a produtividade, há uma crescente preocupação das empresas com a saúde de seus funcionários. Nesse sentido, conhecer o perfil nutricional dos trabalhadores torna-se fundamental para a elaboração de estratégias visando melhorar a qualidade de vida desses sujeitos. Objetivo: Caracterizar e realizar avaliação antropométrica dos trabalhadores dos restaurantes universitários (RUs) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Métodos: Realizou-se, em 2006, um estudo transversal com os funcionários ligados à produção de alimentos dos quatro RUs da UFRGS. Através da análise estatística, foi verificado se as variáveis possuíam associação significativa (P<0,05). Resultados: Os 130 trabalhadores avaliados tinham idade média de 37±12 anos e 75,4% eram terceirizados. Encontrou-se que 74,61% dos indivíduos ganharam, em média, 5,6±8 kg desde o seu início de trabalho no RU e 56,9% dos funcionários estavam com excesso de peso, sendo 34,6% com sobrepeso e 22,3% com obesidade. Observou-se que 77,9% dos funcionários do sexo masculino possuem adiposidade abdominal adequada, enquanto 56,5% das mulheres apresentam circunferência abdominal maior que 88 cm, sendo consideradas com alto risco para doença cardiovascular. Quanto ao estilo de vida, 29,2% dos indivíduos eram fumantes e 56,9% eram sedentários. Conclusão: A atividade física e o estado nutricional sugerem que os homens possuem melhor qualidade de vida e menor risco de desenvolver doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Além disso, foi encontrada alta prevalência de funcionários com excesso de peso, havendo uma mudança significativa no estado nutricional durante o tempo de trabalho.

Backgrond: Due to the positive relation between health conditions and productivity, companies are increasingly concerned with their employees’ health. In that sense, knowing the nutritional profile of the workers becomes essential for the development of strategies to improve quality of life for these individuals. Aim: To characterize and perform an anthropometric evaluation of the workers of University Restaurants (RUs) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Methods: In 2006, a transverse study was carried out with workers involved in the production of food at the four RUs of UFRGS. Through statistical analysis, it was verified whether the variables had significant association (P<0.05). Results: The 130 evaluated workers had mean age 37±12 years and 75.4% of them were outsourced. It was determined that 74.61% of the individuals had mean weight gain of 5.6±8 kg since the beginning of their work at RUs and 56.9% of the employees have excess weight, as 34.6% are overweight and 22.3% are obese. It was observed that 77.9% of the male employees have adequate abdominal adiposity while 56.5% of the female employees have abdominal circumference larger than 88 cm, presenting with high risk for cardiovascular disease. In terms of lifestyle, 29.2% of the individuals smoke and 56.9% are sedentary. Conclusion: Physical activity and nutritional state suggest that men have a better quality of life and a less risk of developing non-transmissible chronic diseases. Furthermore, a high prevalence of overweight employees was detected, and there was a significant change of nutritional state during the time of work.
