description In Argentina, horticultural production requires intensive labor and continuous application of pesticides, in a labor context poorly regulated by the State. Aims: To analyze pesticide exposure and self-perceived health conditions of horticulturists, according to living and working conditions in horticultural farms in the Food Region of Córdoba (FRC). Population-based descriptive correlational study (2013-2019), in n=209 horticulturists pesticides applicators of pesticides in the FRC (95% confidence level); the sample was completed in two stages, the first conducted by the Group of Environmental Epidemiology of Cancer and other Chronic Diseases (n=137), and the second (n=72) together with the Observatory of Peri-urban Urban Agriculture and Agroecology (INTA). A survey translated and adapted from the Agricultural Health Study (Alavanja et al., 1996; Bonner & Alavanja, 2005) was implemented, whose reliability yielded a Cronbach's α of 0.95 (Lantieri et al., 2009). Sociodemographic information, productive practices, history of pesticides exposure and self-perceived health conditions were collected. Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing and multiple logistic regression analysis were used, using Stata-v15 software. Informed consent was implemented. The mean age was 45 years (SD 13), 70% resided on the farm and 52% reported family work. The average seniority of pesticide application was 18.79 years (SD 11.38), only 27% of the workers used adequate protection when applying pesticides. Also, 21% of them reported having accidents with pesticides (splashing, ingestion, etc); 58% reported symptoms related to the application, neurological (40%) and irritative (38%) among others. 42% reported one or more tracer illnesses. The probability of reporting illnesses increased among workers with more than 20 years in the task (OR=3.048; p ≤ 0.05 ) and among those who expressed presenting accidents with pesticides (OR=2.85; p ≤0.05); while the report of symptoms was higher among horticulturists who manifested accidents (OR= 5.71; p ≤0.05). A high prevalence of symptoms and tracer diseases associated with prolonged use and accidents with pesticides was reported.

En Argentina, la producción hortícola requiere mano de obra intensiva y aplicación continua de plaguicidas, en un contexto laboral poco regulado por el Estado. Objetivo: Analizar la exposición a plaguicidas y condiciones de salud autopercibida de horticultoras/es, según las condiciones de vida y trabajo en las quintas hortícolas de la Región Alimentaria de Córdoba (RAC). Estudio descriptivo correlacional de base poblacional (2013-2019), en n=209 horticultoras/es agroaplicadoras/es de plaguicidas de la RAC (nivel confianza del 95%); muestra completada en dos etapas, la primera realizada por el Grupo de Epidemiología Ambiental del Cáncer y otras enfermedades Crónicas (n=137), y la segunda (n=72) junto al Observatorio de Agricultura Urbana Periurbana y Agroecología (INTA). Se implementó una encuesta traducida y adaptada del Agricultural Health Agricultural Health Study (Alavanja Alavanja et al., 1996; Bonner & Alavanja, 2005), cuya confiabilidad arrojó un α de Cronbach de 0,95 (Lantieri et al., 2009). Se relevó información sociodemográfica, prácticas productivas, historia de exposición a plaguicidas y condiciones de salud autopercibida. Estadísticas descriptivas, test de hipótesis y análisis de regresión logística múltiple fueron utilizados, empleando el Software Stata-v15. Se implementó consentimiento informado. La edad promedio fue 45 años (DE 13), el 70% residía en la quinta y el 52% reportó trabajo familiar. La antigüedad promedio de aplicación de plaguicidas fue 18,79 años (DE 11,38), sólo 27% de las/os trabajadoras/es utilizó protección adecuada al aplicar plaguicidas. Asimismo, 21% de ellas/os refirió sufrir accidentes con plaguicidas (salpicaduras, ingestión, etc); 58% reportó síntomas relacionados con la aplicación, neurológicos (40%) e irritativos (38%) entre otros. El 42% reportó una o más enfermedades trazadoras. La probabilidad de reporte de enfermedades aumentó entre trabajadores con más de 20 años en la tarea (OR=3,048; p ≤ 0,05 ) y entre quienes expresaron presentar accidentes con plaguicidas (OR = 2,85; p ≤0,05); mientras que el reporte de síntomas fue mayor entre horticultoras/es que manifestaron accidentes (OR= 5,71; p  ≤0,05). Se reportó una alta prevalencia de síntomas y enfermedades trazadoras asociadas al uso prolongado y accidentes con plaguicidas. . Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
