Abstract:

Introduction: In Brazil, the growth of agribusiness to the detriment of family agriculture occurred hiding social, environmental and human health damages. The objective was to compare living and working conditions and access to health services between agricultural and non-agricultural workers. Methodology: Datathe National Health Survey (PNS) on living and working conditions, sociodemographic, economic characteristics and access to health servicesa representative sample of the Brazilian employed population were used. Pearson\'s chi-square test was used, with a significance level of 0.05, considering the complex sampling design. Results: agricultural workers presented worse living conditions, lower purchasing power, greater exposure to solar radiation and chemical agents, and a higher frequency and severity of occupational accidents compared to non-agricultural workers. The agricultural population had greater coverage of the FHS, had looked for medical attention in the SUS to treat diseases, while the nonfarm, had sought private medical care for preventive actions. Conclusion: The differences found between these workers imply different patterns of illness and define specific health needs.
