To analyze the health-related habits of community health workers (CHW).
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2018. Anthropometric, sociodemographic, labor and lifestyle characteristics were evaluated. Poisson regression was applied to calculate the prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of unhealthy habits according to independent variables.
675 CHW participated. Regarding their health profile, 60.8% were overweight, 83.0% reported low fruit consumption and 58.1% reported low greens and vegetable consumption. Physical inactivity was reported by 26.2%. 7.1% stated they were smokers were 37.6% drank alcoholic beverages. Inadequate health habits were higher among males (PR=1.24 - 95%CI 1.05;1.45), younger workers (PR=1.19 - 95%CI 1.01;1.40) and workers without a religion (PR=1.23 - 95%CI 1.04;1.45).
