Abstract(s)
As doenças cardiovasculares são a principal causa de mortalidade e morbilidade a nível global. As suas manifestações estão relacionadas com um conjunto de fatores que entre si se conjugam sinergicamente de modo a aumentar a probabilidade de ocorrência e gravidade destas doenças.
As forças de segurança pública representam uma das categorias de profissionais mais propensas a desenvolver patologia cardiovascular. A existência de uma vasta gama de atividades que envolvem todo o trabalho policial predispõe a que neste grupo sejam reunidas condições que combinam os riscos inerentes à profissão com a predisposição a eventos cardiovasculares adversos, com consequências para a saúde física e mental. A elevada incidência é frequentemente atribuída à maior exposição a fatores de risco cardiovasculares, tais como o sedentarismo, hipertensão, dislipidémia, obesidade, hiperinsulinémia, hábitos tabágicos bem como as consequências dos fatores de stress ocupacional.
Assim sendo é vital uma avaliação e gestão integrada do risco cardiovascular neste universo profissional, de modo a aumentar os resultados em saúde em indivíduos suscetíveis.
Desta forma, procurou-se avançar na compreensão do modo como a carreira policial possa se correlacionar com a maior predisposição a eventos adversos cardiovasculares, através da reunião da informação relevante nesta área. Espera-se que a presente revisão sirva como forma de alertar a necessidade de implementação de intervenções que visem minimizar a incidências de doenças cardiovasculares neste grupo ocupacional.
Worldwide, the cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The manifestations are related to a number of factors that synergistically combine with each other to increase the likelihood and severity of these diseases. The Police force constitutes a special occupational group that has been shown to be at high risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases. The existence of a wide range of activities involving all police work, combined with the professional inherent risks of their job, make law officers vulnerable to adverse cardiovascular events with physical and mental health consequences. The high incidence of cardiovascular outcomes is often attributed to greater exposure to cardiovascular risk factors such as physical inactivity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, hyperinsulinemia, smoking habits plus the effect of occupational stress factors. The assessment and integrated management of cardiovascular risk has a great importance in this group in order to improve health outcomes, especially in susceptible individuals. This review was written in order to advance with the complete understanding of how police workers can be at higher risk to develop cardiovascular diseases by collecting worldwide relevant information in this area. It is expected that this review will serve as a vehicle to alert for the need to implement several interventional actions to minimize the incidence of cardiovascular disease in this occupation group.
