SUMMARY:

This study investigated the association of environmental, demographic and socioeconomic factors in
the poorest area in Brasilia, Brazil with the occurrence of self-reported arboviruses. It is a crosssectional study with a quantitative approach including sociodemographic variables, access to water
and sanitation, sewage disposal and living habits. A survey created in Google Forms was sent via
mobile phone to the heads of households who lived in the Estrutural area, which hosted the largest
open dump in Latin America for almost 60 years. There were 2,176 responses, of which 1,934 (88.9%)
were from women, 1,432 (65.8%) from those who had no partners, 961 (44.16%) were illiterate or had
incomplete elementary school, and 1,155 (53.08%) reported having already had arboviruses. After the
adjusted analysis, storing water in the residence (OR 1.58; CI 1.30-1.92), having knowledge on how to
prevent arboviruses (OR 2.22; CI 1.61-3.06) and being a waste picker (OR 1.84; CI 1.46-2.31) showed
a positive association with self-reported arbovirus, while waste collection was a protective factor (OR-
0.71; CI 0.63-0.92). It was observed the influence of occupational and environmental factors with
arboviruses. Effective measures are needed in all sectors to protect this vulnerable population,
including empowering them to face these diseases.
