PRETTO, Alessandra Doumid Borges; PASTORE, Carla Alberici  e  ASSUNCAO, Maria Cecília Formoso. Healthcare professionals health-related behaviors in National Health System clinics in the city of Pelotas-RS, Brazil. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2014, vol.23, n.4, pp.635-644. ISSN 1679-4974.

OBJECTIVE: to describe health-related behavior of health professionals at Unified Health System (SUS) outpatient clinics in the city of Pelotas - RS. Brazil, in relation to eating habits, alcohol consumption, smoking and physical activity. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional study with professionals working in direct patient care, from May to July 2012. RESULTS: of the 340 professionals, 53.0% were women, with a mean age of 42 years (standard deviation 13.7 years). Most women (68.9%) were eutrophic, while 50.6% of men were overweight; 49.7% were sedentary and 27.6% ate fruit daily. A "healthy profile" (concomitant normal BMI, not smoking, eating fruit and vegetables daily, regular physical activity and not adding additional salt to food), was found in 15.3% of professionals and was more frequent among women (p=0,004). CONCLUSION: the majority of the professionals studied need to change their behaviors.
