SUMMARY:

Studies have reported an increase in cardiometabolic risk among workers assisted by the Brazilian Worker’s Food Program (WFP), the only Public Food and Nutritional Security Policy aimed at this public in country, due to a higher frequency of overweight and greater waist circumference (WC) in these individuals. Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and its individual components among manufacturing workers and their relationship to the WFP. To this end, we conducted a prospective cross-sectional two-stage survey comparative of manufacturing workers from companies adherent and non-adherent to the WFP stratified by sector of activity and company size. After written informed consent, workers were interviewed at the workplace, where socioeconomic, bio-demographic and anthropometric data were collected, in addition to health information and blood pressure measurement. Blood samples were taken (12h fasting) to determine serum glucose, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol. Mixed effects multilevel logistic regression was used to compare WFP and non-WFP groups separately in each sex. The survey included 332 workers from 16 WFP companies and 344 workers from 17 non-WFP companies. The general prevalence of MetS was high, but without statistical differences between the sexes (39.8% in females versus 28.5% in males, p = 0.16). When comparing groups, men in the WFP group had a significantly higher prevalence of MetS (33.0% versus 23.9% non-WFP, p = 0.008) and for the individual components, a higher prevalence of increased WC (47.0% versus 29.4% non-WFP, p <0.001) and high fasting blood glucose (8.9% versus 6.3% non-WFP, p <0.001) was also observed. For women, no statistically significant results were observed in the prevalence of MetS and its individual components between groups. Thus, it is concluded that food assistance programs are associated with an increase in the prevalence of MetS in male workers, but possibly not in women, suggesting an influence of food insecurity on the effects of food assistance programs in low-income populations.
