Nowadays, the computer allied to the use of the internet is already fundamental in the work routine. Understanding the individual, in a broad and integral way, is an ongoing need to establish strategies for the prevention and cure of occupational diseases.

To trace the sociodemographic profile of workers who use computer terminals in the cosmetics industry.

The present research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra through the letter 094 CE - 2018. This is a cross- sectional study, carried out with 55 workers of both genders, older than eighteen years of age, who made use of computers in their work activities in a Cosmetics Industry located in the mid-western region of Brazil, had a workload greater than four hours a day, and agreed to participate in the research by signing the informed consent form (ICF). We excluded workers who terminated their work contract and were on vacation during the research and those who, despite having signed the ICF, decided to discontinue participation. The Sociodemographic Questionnaire was applied, which consisted of a standardized instrument created for this study.

It was observed that, on average, the workers' age was 29 years old, with a body mass index (BMI) of 24. Most were male (52.7%), married (58.2%), without children (61.8%), had completed college (52.7%), worked 9 hours a day (65.5%), in good ergonomic conditions (67.3%), sat for 2 to 6 hours (54.5%), took breaks (72.7%), and had no systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) (94.5%), was not a smoker (96.4%), nor an alcoholic (65.5%), reported stressful factors in the work environment (52.7%), used medication (65.5%), without diagnosed diseases (70.9%), could not identify the time (41.8%) and the day of the week (20%) when the pain/body discomfort appeared, without edema in the legs (89%). It was found that 38.2% of the workers slept 7 hours a night, 50.9% practiced physical activity, 81.8% had leisure activities, 96.4% had time with the family, 87.3% had domestic activities.

Most workers were young adults, married, without children, with a complete college education, working 9 hours a day with breaks, and 2 to 6 hours of these spent sitting, in good ergonomic conditions, but there was a stressful factor at work. They presented a normal BMI and no SAH, most of them used medication, however without diagnosed diseases, with complaints of pain/body discomfort. Most had the following lifestyle habits: they practiced physical activity, had leisure activities, had time for the family, performed domestic activities, were neither smokers nor drinkers, but slept less than 7 hours a night.

With the increase in the number of workers and the computerization of workstations, it is necessary to give visibility to the working, living, and health conditions of computer terminal users in order to direct strategies that contribute to a healthy work environment.
