Abstract

to evaluate and compare the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors among high school adolescents with or without jobs, and to establish an association between risk factors and changes in lifestyle after starting to work. quantitative cross-sectional study. An instrument was applied to assess socio-demographic characteristics and habits. Dietary pattern was assessed by the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index. Nutritional status was assessed by the Z-score. Data were submitted to statistical analysis and comparison between groups and periods, as well as association and correlation was done. the prevalence of high blood pressure was 7.7%. High BP affected 4.5% of non-workers and 10.9% of workers. Dietary patterns were inappropriate and 51.2% did not engage in physical activity. The prevalence of obesity was 28.3%. The results showed an association between work and alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity and reduced sleep quality. work increased exposure to certain cardiometabolic risk factors.

Highlights

Cardiovascular risk among adult individuals has been well documented in longitudinal and experimental studies[1,2]
The ERICA study found that 24% of adolescents had high blood pressure (BP), with 14.4% characterized as pre-hypertensive and 9.6% as hypertensive
High BP values were more prevalent in the group of adolescent workers, with 10.9%, compared to 4.5% in the non-workers group

Summary

Introduction

Cardiovascular risk among adult individuals has been well documented in longitudinal and experimental studies[1,2]. In recent decades, studies have been investigating the habits of the adolescent population, considering that adolescence is the phase in which individuals have initial contact with risk factors, which may persist into adulthood[3,4]. A meta-analysis evaluated 55 studies on 5 continents, with a total of 122,053 adolescents, and found that the prevalence of high blood pressure was 11.2%, with higher prevalence among boys[3]. The ERICA study found that 24% of adolescents had high blood pressure (BP), with 14.4% characterized as pre-hypertensive and 9.6% as hypertensive. The study found that 17.1% were overweight and 8.4% were obese. The researchers found an association between obesity and hypertension[4]
