SUMMARY:

Introduction: A major oil spill in 2019 off the Brazilian coast caused major environmental and socioeconomic impact, especially affecting artisanal fishermen and shellfish gatherers. The reduction in fish sales had instant effects on this community, reducing the purchasing power of basic foodstuffs. In March 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic. The artisanal fishing sector, still recovering from the effects of the oil spill, was significantly impacted by the pandemic. The social isolation generated, added to the challenges already faced by the fishing community, added social instability and food insecurity to this group of workers. In this work, we present a literature review and a scientific article. Objective: The present study aims to identify factors associated with the anthropometric status of artisanal fishermen/shellfish gatherers residing in areas affected by the oil spill and during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Methods:. Cross-sectional study carried out with 898 adult artisanal fishermen/shellfish gatherers. A validated questionnaire was used to collect general information on oil exposure, lifestyle and health, COVID-19. The data were analyzed stratified by sex and the prevalence of excess weight and high waist circumference was calculated. Adjusted PRs were calculated using the logistic regression model and confidence intervals (95%) were obtained using the delta method. Results: Excess weight was observed in 74.2% of fisherwomen/shellfish gatherers and 88.4% of them were overweight of abdominal fat; in males, 47.3% were overweight and 33.4% had high waist circumference. After adjusted analysis, AC remained in both models, female [RP = 9.24; 95%CI(4.04; 21.13)] and male [PR = 4.79 (3.35; 6.86)]. In addition to abdominal obesity, higher prevalences of excess weight were observed in women with high BP [PR = 1.69; 95%CI(1.10; 2.59)], who had COVID-19 [PR = 2.09 95%CI(1.01; 4.30)]. Among men, in addition to abdominal obesity, a higher prevalence of excess weight was observed among those with a monthly income greater than R$1,000.00 [RP = 1.77; 95%CI (1.17; 2.66)] and who reported diabetes [PR 2.43 (1.23; 4.74)]. Conclusion: The results obtained indicate frequencies of excess weight among fisherwomen/shellfish gatherers that are higher than the frequencies observed in the Brazilian population in general, highlighting an alert regarding the need for more effective care, through public policies aimed at nutritional education and health of this population.
