Objective: To characterize the lifestyles of administrative assistants in a hospital, in order to define health promotion strategies in the workplace.
Method: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out with administrative assistants (N = 167) of a medium-sized Portuguese hospital. The data were collected through a questionnaire (QEV&PS-SO) for sociodemographic characterization and analysis of health determinants related to lifestyles.
Results: It was observed that 54% of the sample did not practice physical exercise, 52% had four or fewer meals a day, 29% were smokers, 51% had insomnia, and 45% had no health surveillance, as well as 51.5% were overweight or obese and 63% had an increased or very increased risk of developing metabolic complications. No significant differences were identified in relation to weight, physical exercise or stress according to sex or age.
Conclusion: The results support the need to develop intervention programs with strategies aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles among workers in health institutions, to be comprehensively integrated within the scope of occupational health.

More than 60 percent of US adults report that they had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). For this study of 930,000 children born during the period 1999-2003, we used linked administrative, survey, and criminal justice data to measure the association between ACEs (parental death; separation; incarceration; or criminal charge for intimate partner violence, substance use disorder, or child sexual or nonsexual abuse) and socioeconomic disadvantages at ages 18-22 during 2017-21. After childhood socioeconomic status was controlled for, young adults with ACEs were more likely to have been charged with felonies, have become teenage parents, live in a household with poverty or housing assistance, be enrolled in Medicaid, and be employed, and were less likely to be enrolled in an educational institution.
