Obrigada por proporcionar seu conhecimento para o desenvolvimento da minha carreira profissional.A todos que direta ou indiretamente fizeram parte nesta trajetória, o meu muito obrigada. The adhesion test to the normal curve was applied to the variables of interest. The Spearman matrix correlation was calculated in order to test the correlation between the variables. It was later built a multiple linear regression model following the stepwise scheme. Results: The lower hypertension prevalence rates were found in the North, and in some states of the Northeast. Rio de Janeiro was the state that stands out with the highest prevalence of hypertension found. The Spearman correlation indicated that the prevalence of hypertension was positively correlated with all the independent variables, and that the highest correlation of hypertension was with the average sodium intake. In the multiple linear regression analysis, the only independent variable that explains the prevalence of hypertension was the average sodium intake. Conclusion: It was concluded that the involvement of HP in Brazilian adults reaches levels that demonstrate the need for further investigation on its distribution in the country to ensure the best approach to prevention and intervention in each geographical area.It is important to develop this type of research for the territorial differences of outcome and where to prioritize the actions proposed by the government. In addition, the analysis of these data types is an important and fundamental step for improvement , and thus allow the scientific community to assess increasingly available national data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
