SOUZA, Gisele Ferreira de; MUTO, Elizabeti Yuriko; NASCIMENTO, Felipe Parra  y  GOUVEIA, Nelson. Prevalence and factors associated with respiratory diseases and diarrhea in recyclable material cooperative workers in the city of São Paulo, Brazil: a cross-sectional study, 2013*. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.3, e2019529.  Epub 07-Jul-2020. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742020000300022.

Objective

to analyze the prevalence of respiratory diseases and diarrhea among recyclable material cooperative workers in São Paulo City, Brazil, and associated factors.

Methods

this was a cross-sectional study conducted in three cooperatives, with data collected through structured interviews and measurement of environmental fungal concentration; Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR).

Results

156 individuals were interviewed; the highest asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and diarrhea prevalence rates occurred in cooperatives with higher total fungal concentration; highest adjusted prevalence of asthma was found in Cooperative A (PR=8.44 – 95%CI 1.09;65.37), and highest adjusted prevalence of diarrhea was found in Cooperative C (PR=2.09 – 95%CI 1.11;3.94), compared to Cooperative B; the highest COPD prevalence was found in smokers and former smokers (PR=8.66 – 95% CI 2.84;26.35).

Conclusion

fungal control measures must be adopted for disease prevention in recyclable material cooperatives.
