To analyze the epidemiological profile of chronic noncommunicable diseases among community health workers and associated factors.
Cross-sectional study of community health workers in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to characterize demographic and socioeconomic profile, employment profile, self-reported presence of chronic noncommunicable diseases, and lifestyle habits. The variables were compared between participants with and those without chronic noncommunicable diseases, with Pearsons chi-square test used to define statistically significant differences between them.
674 community health workers participated in the study, 43.32% of whom self-reported the presence of at least one chronic noncommunicable disease; chronic respiratory diseases and hypertension were the most prevalent, especially in the age group > 34 years, those with > 10 years' experience as community health workers, overweight or obese participants, sedentary participants, and those employed as a civil servant or service provider.
Our results show that community health workers have a prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases and risk factors thereof similar to that found in the general Brazilian population.
分析社区卫生工作者慢性非传染性疾病的流行病学特征及其相关因素。
对巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州蒙特斯克拉罗斯市的社区卫生工作者进行横断面研究。通过一份旨在描述人口统计学和社会经济特征、职业概况、自我报告的慢性非传染性疾病情况以及生活方式习惯的问卷收集数据。将患有慢性非传染性疾病的参与者与未患慢性非传染性疾病的参与者的变量进行比较，使用皮尔逊卡方检验来确定两者之间的统计学显著差异。
674名社区卫生工作者参与了该研究，其中43.32%的人自我报告患有至少一种慢性非传染性疾病；慢性呼吸道疾病和高血压最为普遍，尤其是在年龄大于34岁、担任社区卫生工作者超过10年、超重或肥胖、久坐不动以及受雇为公务员或服务提供者的人群中。
我们的结果表明，社区卫生工作者慢性非传染性疾病及其危险因素的患病率与巴西普通人群相似。
