Resumen
SILVA, Daniely Oliveira da et al. Exposure to pesticides and acute intoxication in a region of intense agricultural production in Mato Grosso, Brazil, 2013. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.3, e2018456. Epub 22-Nov-2019. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742019000300013.
Objective:
to estimate the prevalence of acute poisoning by pesticides and associated factors in Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Methods:
this was a cross-sectional study, the outcome of which was acute intoxication in the month prior to the interview, as diagnosed by a physician; multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson regression.
Results:
we interviewed 753 individuals; acute intoxication occurred at a rate of 17%; the main associated factors were living near plantations (PR=2.81 - 95%CI 1.79;4.41), having incomplete high school education or less (PR=1.80 - 95%CI 1.22;2.71), living less than 500 meters from maize crops (PR=1.57 - 95%CI 1.05;2.35) and cotton plantations (PR=1.43 - 95%CI 1.02;2.02).
Conclusion:
Individuals living near to corn and cotton plantations reported higher occurrence of acute intoxication.
