No data has apparently been published on morbidity and outpatient service of faculty and staff of a distance university. This report presents such data from the Universidad Estatal a Distancia (Costa Rican State University for Distance Education). The participants in this study were the employees who were outpatients between January 15, 2004 and December 15, 2006. Instead of using a sample, the entire population was studied with a total of 1,526 medical records. Procedure: During the first stage all of the medical records were read and the morbidity data was tabulated. Subsequently, this information was statistically analyzed using Statgraphics Centurion XV. The main findings were that 50% of the patients used the outpatient service only once during the study period and that most of them were between 20 and 50 years of age. The days with the most consultations were Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The number of consultations was relatively stable throughout the year, with a slight increase in June. The three main causes for visiting the service were: upper respiratory tract diseases, muscular-skeletal disorders, and irritated digestive system problems. Main conclusions: Most of the consultations were from the departments with the more faculty and staff members; however, some departments had extremely high or low consultation rates per capita, maybe due to factors such as pathologies that require periodic control, geographical proximity, and psycho-social issues of patients who create a vicious circle due to the somatization of such problems. The hypothesis that this population’s morbidity rate would differ from the national average because of its high educational level was rejected. Nevertheless, the hypothesis that there are weekly and yearly cycles was maintained.

A região metropolitana de Campinas é a segunda região econômica do Estado de São Paulo e uma das principais do Brasil. Possui um total de 2.687.099 habitantes, distribuídos em 19 municípios, dos quais Campinas é o maior com 1.053.252 habitantes. Possui um Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) de 17,5 bilhões de dólares e sua renda per capita é de 6.777 dólares, superior à do Estado de São Paulo e à do Brasil. Trata-se da região com maior crescimento econômico no estado, sendo a principal beneficiária do processo de desconcentração econômica ocorrido a parti da década de 1970 e tornou-se atualmente um dos principais pólos tecnológicos do país. O presente trabalho analisa a dinâmica econômica regional nas últimas duas décadas e discutir seus efeitos quanto à distribuição territorial da população. São analisados dados relativos ao PIB municipal e regional, total e por setores econômicos, bem como indicadores demográficos e sociais, como: população, renda, analfabetismo e mortalidade infantil. Uma das conclusões do trabalho é de que há uma correlação negativa entre crescimento demográfico e crescimento econômico na região. No entanto, observou-se também que ocorreu uma pequena diminuição tanto da disparidade populacional como da disparidade econômica entre os municípios da região.
