0274/2015 - Variáveis Ambientais e Níveis de Monóxido de Carbono Exalado e Carboxihemoglobina em Idosos Praticantes de Exercício Environmental variables and Exhaled Carbon Monoxide Levels and Carboxyhemoglobin in Seniors Practitioners Exercise
Introdução: Praticar exercícios é benéfico à saúde dos idosos, porém quando estes são realizados em ambiente externo com influência climática e poluição conforme observado com intensificação das queimadas no período de seca na cidade de Cuiabá pode expô-los a riscos. Objetivo: Analisar monóxido de carbono exalado, carboxihemoglobina e variáveis cardiopulmonares em idosos praticantes de exercícios em ambientes externos e correlacionar com clima e poluição.Método:Estudo ecológico temporal com 118 idosos ativos em Cuiabá.Informações sobre uso de medicamentos, tabagismo, antropometria, espirometria, peak-flow, saturação de oxigênio, frequência cardíaca, monóxido de carbono exalado, carboxihemoglobina além de dados climáticos, queimadas e poluição foram obtidos.Resultados: Temperatura ambiental, umidade relativa do ar e queimadas correlacionaram com monóxido de carbono exalado e carboxihemoglobina (p<0,05). Frequência cardíaca correlacionou com alterações de temperatura ambiental, tempo de exposição solar e umidade relativa (p<0,05).Conclusão:Idosos sofrem influências ambientais alterando níveis de monóxido de carbono, carboxihemoglobina e frequência cardíaca sendo necessário monitoramento destes durante exercícios, sugerindo-se o uso do monoxímetro para avaliação de exposição à poluentes.

Abstract:
Introduction: Exercising is beneficial to the health of older people, but when they are performed outdoors in climate influence and pollution as seen with intensification of fires during the dry season in the city of Cuiaba may expose them to risks. Méthod: Temporal ecological study involving 118 active seniors in Cuiabá. Information about medication use, smoking, anthropometric measurements, spirometry, peak flow, oxygen saturation, heart rate, exhaled carbon monoxide, carboxyhemoglobin as well as weather data, fires and pollution were obtained. Results: Environmental temperature, relative humidity and burned was correlated with exhaled carbon monoxide and carboxyhemoglobin (p <0.05). Heart rate correlated with the environmental temperature changes, solar exposure and relative humidity (p <0.05).Conclusion: Elderly suffer environmental influences changing levels of exhaled carbon monoxide, carboxihemoglobin and heart rate being necessary monitoring during exercises, suggesting the use of monoximeter for evaluation of exposure to pollutants.
