Abstract

Objective: to analyze the association between cadiometabolic diseases, violence and drug use in truck drivers. Method: cross-sectional study, that involved 235 truck drives that were in a gas station in the city of Uberlândia (MG), Brazil. Data were collected through self-reported interviews and the Chi-Square and Logistic Regression tests were applied, adopting a significance level of 0.05 for all variables. Results: there was a relationship between violent traffic events and some cardiometabolic diseases, especially peripheral vascular disease (OR=6.00 (95% CI 2.47-14.56) and obesity (OR=2.56 (CI 95% 1.42-4.62); and also, alcohol abuse (OR=4.16 (95% CI 1.53-11.29) and tobacco (OR=2.68 (95% CI 1, 10-6.51) were related to these pathologies. Conclusion: exposure to robberies and traffic accidents, and the use of alcohol and tobacco were associated with a greater chance of prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases among truck drivers.
