Prevalence of pterygia, pingueculae, and conjuntival hiperplasia among cement workers from bogotá
A retrospective exploratory study was realized with 195 cement workers to explore the association between cement dust exposure and the occurrence of pterygia, pingueculae, and conjuntival hiperplasia. An optometrist examined the population in the enterprise during 1998. The prevalences of conjuntiva...

An optometrist examined the population in the enterprise during 1998. The prevalences of conjuntival alterations were: pingueculae 37,4 %, conjuntival hiperplasia 23,6 %, and pterygia 19 %.

En 1998 una optómetra realizó los exámenes físicos, encontrando que las prevalencias de alteraciones conjuntivales en la población estudiada fueron: 37,4 % para la pingüecula, 23,6 % para la hiperplasia conjuntival y 19 % para el pterigio. Los trabajadores fueron clasificados en tres grupos según los niveles de exposición encontrados en la inspección del lugar de trabajo realizado por un especialista en salud ocupacional. Los resultados de la comparación de estos grupos sugieren una asociación entre la exposición a polvo de cemento y el pterigio (RPa: 9,8; IC95%: 1,4-68,8). Se plantea la necesidad de realizar nuevos estudios para mejorar el conocimiento de la etiología de las alteraciones conjuntivales, así como realizar los cambios en el ambiente laboral e implementar el uso de elementos de protección ocular.application/pdfspaRevista de Salud Públicahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/revsaludpublica/article/view/18667Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Revista de Salud PúblicaRevista de Salud PúblicaJournal of Public Health; Vol. 3, núm. 1 (2001); 65-73 Revista de Salud Pública; Vol. 3, núm. 1 (2001); 65-73 0124-0064Cortés, Soraya P. and Idrovo, Alvaro J.
