Abstract

Objective: to analyze the factors associated with glycemic variability in market vendors.
Method: epidemiological survey with 399 workers. Data was collected between January and March 2018 through the administration of a sociodemographic, lifestyle, work and health, working and health conditions questionnaire, blood glucose dosage tests and weight and height measurement. The analysis involved frequency calculations and the Chi-square test (95% significance level).
Results: the frequency of glycemic variability found was 9.8%. Age group (p <0.001), education (p <0.001), physical activity (p = 0.033), body mass index (p = 0.050), use of medications (p <0.001) and multimorbidity (p <0.001) showed association with glycemic variability.
Conclusion: age group, education, physical activity, body mass index, periodical use of
medications and reporting multimorbidity are variables that have factors associated to the development of glycemic variability in market vendors.
