Abstract
FUNDAMENTO: No Brasil, a prevalência de hipertensão arterial (HA) e seus fatores de risco são pouco conhecidos nas regiões menos desenvolvidas. OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência da hipertensão arterial na população > 18 anos em São Luís - MA e fatores associados, de acordo com os critérios do Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee (JNC 7). MÉTODOS: Realizou-se estudo transversal em São Luís - MA, de fevereiro a março de 2003, em 835 pessoas com idade > 18 anos que responderam a um questionário estruturado em domicílio. Foram medidos pressão arterial (PA), peso, altura e circunferência abdominal. Avaliaram-se outros fatores de risco para doença cardiovascular. Na identificação dos fatores associados à HA foi utilizado o modelo de regressão de Poisson, com estimativa da razão de prevalências (RP) e seu respectivo intervalo de confiança de 95%. RESULTADOS: A idade variou entre 18 e 94 anos (média de 39,4 anos), sendo 293 (35,1%) pessoas normotensas e 313 (37,5%) pré-hipertensas. A prevalência de HA foi de 27,4% (IC95% 24,4% a 30,6%), maior no sexo masculino (32,1%) que no feminino (24,2%). Na análise ajustada permaneceram independentemente associados à HA: sexo masculino (RP 1,52 IC95% 1,25-1,84), idade > 30 anos, sendo RP=6,65, IC95% 4,40-10,05 para idade > 60 anos, sobrepeso (RP 2,09 IC95% 1,64-2,68), obesidade (RP 2,68 IC95% 2,03-3,53) e diabete (RP 1,56 IC95% 1,24-1,97). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de controle do sobrepeso, obesidade e diabete, sobretudo em mulheres e pessoas com idade maior ou igual a 30 anos para a redução da prevalência da hipertensão arterial.
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) and its risk factors in the less developed regions of Brazil. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of arterial hypertension and its associated factors in the population > 18 years in São Luís, state of Maranhão according to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee (JNC 7) criteria. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in São Luís, MA, from February to March 2003, with 835 individuals >18 years who completed a structured household questionnaire. Measurements of arterial pressure (AP), weight, height and waist circumference were taken, and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease were assessed. The Poisson regression method was used for the identification of factors associated with AH, with an estimate of the prevalence ratio (PR) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Age varied from 18 and 94 years (mean age was 39.4 years), 293 (35.1%) individuals were normotensive and 313 (37.5%) were pre-hypertensive. The AH prevalence was 27.4% (95% CI - 24.4% to 30.6%), and it was higher among men (32.1%) than among women (24.2%). In the adjusted analysis, the following remained independently associated with AH: male gender (PR 1.52, 95% CI, 1.25-1.84), age > 30 years, with PR=6.65, 95% CI, 4.40-10.05 for >60 years of age, overweight (PR 2.09 95% CI 1.64-2.68), obesity (PR 2.68, 95% CI, 2.03-3.53) and diabete (PR 1.56, 95% CI, 1.24-1.97). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest the need to control overweight, obesity and diabete, especially among women and individuals > 30 years of age in order to reduce the prevalence of arterial hypertension.
