Introdução: A atividade policial associa-se a níveis acrescidos de stress e risco cardiovascular. Objetivos: (i) Avaliar se a incidência do risco de síndrome metabólica e risco
cardiovascular depende do sexo e da função dos polícias; e (ii) Avaliar o impacto do sexo e da função nas dimensões da qualidade de vida. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 109 polícias da Região Autónoma da Madeira (≥30 anos). Avaliaram-se antropometria, pressão arterial, parâmetros bioquímicos, qualidade de vida (SF-36v2), síndrome metabólica e risco de Framingham. Resultados: A prevalência de síndrome metabólica foi 28,4%. No risco cardiovascular, 47,7% apresentaram risco baixo, 32,1% moderado e 20,2% elevado a 10
anos. Os homens exibiram risco significativamente superior às mulheres, explicado sobretudo pelo tabagismo (21,6% vs.0%). Entre os homens, o trabalho de interior associou
se a risco mais alto do que o de exterior. Na qualidade de vida, os homens reportaram menos dor e melhor saúde geral. Conclusões: Observou-se existência de síndrome metabólica relevante e uma proporção de 20,2% em risco cardiovascular elevado. As prioridades de prevenção incluem cessação tabágica, promoção de atividade física no trabalho e rastreio periódico de fatores de risco. Os resultados sustentam a implementação de projeto piloto de Medicina do Trabalho na Polícia de Segurança Pública/CR-Madeira.
Introduction: Police work is associated with increased levels of stress and cardiovascular risk. Objectives: (i) To assess whether the incidence of metabolic syndrome risk and cardiovascular risk depends on the sex and function of the police officers; and (ii) To assess which sex and which function presents higher scores in the dimensions of quality of life. Methods: Cross-sectional study including 109 police officers from the Autonomous Region of Madeira (≥30 years). Anthropometry, blood pressure, biochemical parameters, quality of life (SF-36v2), metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular risk were assessed. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 28.4%. According to the cardiovascular risk, 47.7% presented a low risk, 32.1% a moderate risk, and 20.2% a high 0-year risk. Men exhibited a significantly higher risk than women, mainly explained by smoking (21.6% vs. 0%). Among men, indoor work was associated with a higher risk compared to outdoor work. Regarding quality of life, men reported less pain and better general health. Conclusions: A relevant prevalence of metabolic syndrome and a proportion of 20.2% at high cardiovascular risk were observed. Prevention priorities include smoking cessation, promotion of physical activity in the workplace, and regular screening for risk factors. The results support the implementation of a pilot Occupational Health project within the Polícia de Segurança Pública/CR-Madeira.
