摘要

教师和科研人员是高校的宝贵资源。健康的生活方式包括适当使用药物。在这项工作中,我们探讨了健康状况和药物消费在40岁以上的学术雇员在墨西哥大学的样本。我们对一项在线调查的答案进行了分析,调查对象是在墨西哥国立大学(National University of Mexico)工作的40岁及以上的学术人员。从2009年11月到2010年10月,随机抽取的240名学术工作者回答了179个问题。调查表的一个部分是针对健康问题的。我们分析了报告的疾病、自我感知的健康状况和药物消费。在报告任何疾病的人中,最常涉及的身体系统是:循环系统、内分泌系统和/或代谢系统,其次是骨骼肌系统和消化系统。52%的受访者在过去两周内使用过药物。其中,维生素占28%,止痛药占17%,高血压药占14%,高胆固醇药占13%,抗生素占8%,糖尿病药占5%,感冒药占4%。建议在某些情况下,如高胆固醇血症、高血压和糖尿病患者,不应服用药物。其他的,如维生素是经常使用的。研究和干预应以更好地利用药物为目标。

Ageing, health and medication consumption in a sample of academic employees at a Mexican university.

Teachers and researchers are valuable resources of universities. A healthy life style includes appropriate utilization of medicines. In this work we explore health status and medicine consumption among a sample of academic employees over 40 years of age at a Mexican university. We analyzed answers to an on line survey in a random sample of academic employees, 40 years and older who work at the National University of Mexico. The 179 item survey was answered from November 2009 to October 2010, by 240 randomly selected academic employees. A section of the questionnaire was oriented toward health issues. We analyzed reported illness, self-perception of health status and medicine consumption. The bodies systems involved most often among those who report any kind of disease were: circulatory and endocrine and/or metabolic, followed by osteomuscular and digestive. Medicinal agents were consumed in the last two weeks by 52% of respondents. Among these, vitamins were consumed by 28%, drugs for pain by 17%, drugs for high blood pressure by 14%, drugs for high cholesterol by 13%, antibiotics by 8%, drugs for diabetes by 5%, cold medicines by 4%. It is suggested that medicinal drugs may not be consumed in situations in which they are indicated, such as in hypercholesterolemia and possibly in hypertension and diabetes. Others, such as vitamins are frequently utilized. Research and interventions should be directed toward better utilization of medicinal drugs.
