O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar os indicadores de risco para a hipertensão arterial em crianças e adolescentes. Estudo transversal desenvolvido com 342 indivíduos de seis a 18 anos de uma escola da cidade de Fortaleza (CE). A maioria eram homens (51,5%). A média de idade foi 11,73 anos ( 3,19). Foram freqüentes os escolares com sobrepeso / obesidade (16,8%) e com pressão arterial acima do percentil 90 (44,7%). Sedentarismo, tabagismo e etilismo estiveram presentes em 51,5%, 38% e 15,5% dos avaliados. A pressão arterial sistólica esteve correlacionada com as variáveis: idade, peso, estatura, perímetros da cintura e do quadril, prega subescapular e Índice de Massa Corporal. Houve correlação da pressão arterial diastólica com idade, peso, estatura, perímetros da cintura e do quadril. Confirma-se a influência de fatores de risco sobre os valores da pressão arterial em jovens. A pressão arterial sistólica foi especialmente influenciada por indicadores antropométricos.

Dysglycemia, in this survey defined as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes, is common in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and associated with an unfavorable prognosis. This European survey investigated dysglycemia screening and risk factor management of patients with CAD in relation to standards of European guidelines for cardiovascular subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The European Society of Cardiology's European Observational Research Programme (ESC EORP) European Action on Secondary and Primary Prevention by Intervention to Reduce Events (EUROASPIRE) V (2016-2017) included 8,261 CAD patients, aged 18-80 years, from 27 countries. If the glycemic state was unknown, patients underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and measurement of glycated hemoglobin A 1c. Lifestyle, risk factors, and pharmacological management were investigated. RESULTS A total of 2,452 patients (29.7%) had known diabetes. OGTT was performed in 4,440 patients with unknown glycemic state, of whom 41.1% were dysglycemic. Without the OGTT, 30% of patients with type 2 diabetes and 70% of those with IGT would not have been detected. The presence of dysglycemia almost doubled from that selfreported to the true proportion after screening. Only approximately one-third of all coronary patients had completely normal glucose metabolism. Of patients with known diabetes, 31% had been advised to attend a diabetes clinic, and only 24% attended. Only 58% of dysglycemic patients were prescribed all cardioprotective drugs, and use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (3%) or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (1%) was small. CONCLUSIONS Urgent action is required for both screening and management of patients with CAD and dysglycemia, in the expectation of a substantial reduction in risk of further cardiovascular events and in complications of diabetes, as well as longer life expectancy.

O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar a ocorrência do diagnóstico de enfermagem Risco de quedas em indivíduos idosos acometidos por acidente vascular encefálico. Estudo do tipo exploratório, realizado em unidades de reabilitação, no período de novembro de 2007 a março de 2008, por meio de entrevista e exame físico. Utilizou-se a Taxonomia II da Nursing American North Diagnosis Association quanto à nomeação diagnóstica. A população foi composta por 73 idosos com idade média de 69,5 anos, predominância do sexo feminino, baixo nível de escolaridade e renda financeira. Encontrou-se média de 1,6 episódio de acidente vascular encefálico em 2,4 anos. O diagnóstico esteve presente na totalidade dos participantes, e os fatores de risco mais percebidos foram: Força diminuída nas extremidades inferiores, Mobilidade física prejudicada, Dificuldades na marcha e Equilíbrio prejudicado. Assim, a avaliação diagnóstica contínua e individualizada faz-se imprescindível para nortear ações preventivas aos problemas de saúde dos idosos.

The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of Nursing Diagnosis Impaired Physical Mobility in patients with stroke. This exploratory study was developed at rehabilitation units from November 2007 to march 2008, through an interview and physical examination. Nursing diagnoses were made using NANDA Taxonomy II. A total 121 patients were evaluated. Subjects' average age was 62.1 years, 52.3% were males with an average 1.5 stroke events in 3.4 years. The diagnosis was present in 90%, with an average of 5.8 defining characteristic. Difficulty turning was the most present characteristic and there were 3.4 related factors per patient, and most reported decreased strength and endurance besides neuromuscular impairment (100%). There should be a closer look towards this diagnosis when planning interventions after a stroke with aiming at health promotion for these patients.

Objective: the study's objective was the clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration among patients who experienced cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Method: a prospective cohort study was conducted with 24 patients hospitalized due to a CVA. The instrument used to collect the data addressed the risk factors for respiratory aspiration, validated by concept analysis and by experts. Results: the most frequent risk factors for respiratory aspiration were: dysphagia (54.2%) and impaired physical mobility (41.7%). The prevalence of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration was 58.3% and the prevalence of respiratory aspiration over the span of 48 hours (monitoring period) was 37.5%. Risk factors for dysphagia and impaired physical mobility were significantly associated with respiratory aspiration. Conclusion: the risk factors dysphagia and impaired physical mobility are good predictors of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration. This study contributed to improving the NANDA-I Taxonomy and the systematization of the nursing process.Descriptors: Nursing; Nursing Diagnosis; Respiratory Aspiration; Stroke. Validación clínica del diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración en pacientes con accidente cerebrovascularObjetivo: el estudio tiene como objetivo la validación clínica del diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración en pacientes con accidente cerebrovascular. Método: un estudio de cohorte prospectivo desarrollado con 24 pacientes hospitalizados para el tratamiento del ictus agudo. El instrumento utilizado para la recolección de datos contiene los factores de riesgo de aspiración respiratoria, validado en el análisis conceptual y por expertos. Resultados: los factores de riesgo para aspiración respiratoria más presentes en los pacientes fueron: disfagia (54,2%) y disminución de la movilidad física (41,7%). La prevalencia del diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración fue del 58,3% y la prevalencia en 48 horas (el tiempo del seguimiento) de la aspiración respiratoria fue de 37,5%. Los factores de riesgo disfagia y la disminución de la movilidad física se asociaron significativamente con la aspiración respiratoria. Conclusión: los factores de riesgo disminución de la movilidad física y disfagia son buenos predictores para el diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración. Este trabajo permitió contribuir a la mejora de la taxonomía NANDA-I y, por lo tanto, el lenguaje de la sistematización de la atención de enfermería.

This study showed a high prevalence of "sedentary lifestyle" and its associations with age and the presence of diabetes. IMPLICATIONS TO NURSING PRACTICE: The acknowledgement of "sedentary lifestyle" contributes to the choice for nursing interventions that promote physical activity centered on the subject and the surroundings.
