“…In alignment with literature 14,47 , an inverse linear association between schooling and the occurrence of multimorbidity was observed. This is relevant because studies have shown that, in hypertensive patients, low education is associated with limited knowledge about the disease (most prevalent condition in our study), which can negatively affect its control and also contribute to the development of other diseases 48,49 . Besides, our finding also shows how exposure to a marker of a socioeconomic level that is difficult to reverse impacts the development of multimorbidity, increasing the need for public health measures aimed at reducing social inequalities.…”

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of multimorbidity and its associated factors in women in southern Brazil. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based study with a sample of 1,128 women (age 20-69 years), living in São Leopoldo, southern Brazil. Multimorbidity was defined as two or more chronic conditions measured using the therapeutic and chemical anatomical classification of continuous use medications prescribed by a physician. Poisson regression model with robust variance was used to assess the association between sociodemographic and lifestyle variables and multimorbidity. Results: The prevalence of multimorbidity was 21.7% (95%CI 19.3-24.2), and 26 chronic conditions were identified. A direct linear association was observed with age and income and an inverse association with education. Being unemployed was a risk factor for multimorbidity (PR 1.95; 95%CI 1.51-2.52). Alcohol consumption (moderate or excessive) had a protective effect. Overweight and obese women were 53% (PR 1.53; 95%CI 1.09-2.15) and 76% (PR 1.76; 95%CI 1.27-2.45) more likely to have multimorbidity than eutrophic women. Conclusion: Over 20% of the adult women had multimorbidity, and its occurrence was strongly associated with socioeconomic characteristics, such as fewer years of schooling, higher income, and not having an occupation. The results regarding alcohol consumption are still insufficient to propose a public policy for the prevention of multimorbidity. Excess weight was an independent risk factor and should be addressed in public health policies for the prevention and management of multimorbidity.

“…De acordo com Magnabosco et al (2015) indivíduos com maior tempo de diagnóstico da doença apresentam maior adesão ao tratamento. Semelhantemente, Motter et al (2015) apontam que o maior tempo de diagnóstico, pressupõe maior utilização dos serviços de saúde, proporcionando também maior exposição do portador às orientações necessárias para o controle da doença. Entretanto, a procura do rastreamento apenas após o aparecimento dos sinais e sintomas, representa falha no cumprimento dos princípios e diretrizes da atenção primária a saúde (BRASIL, 2014).…”

Objetivo: Analisar o perfil epidemiológico e fatores de risco associados de hipertensos e/ou diabéticos de uma unidade de Estratégia de Saúde Família. Método: Estudo transversal, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa, com 110 hipertensos e/ou diabéticos em Rondonópolis (MT). Foram avaliadas as variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas, fatores de risco, antropométricas e morbidade auto referida. Foram realizadas análises descritivas dos dados e razão de prevalência. Resultados: A prevalência de HAS e DM foi sexo feminino (58,18%), faixa etária de 40-59 anos (45,46%), com companheiro (67,27%), baixas renda (99,19%) e escolaridade (75,45%). Os fatores de risco predominantes foram ingestão de sal 30% (IC95%: 0,43-1,63), álcool 6,66% (IC95%: 0,09-1,43) e açúcar 10% (IC95%: 0,13-1,21). Conclusão: Comparativamente aos homens, as mulheres representam maior prevalência de HAS e/ou DM, destacando baixos níveis de escolaridade e classe social. Quanto aos fatores de risco, demonstrou associação para HAS entre ingestão de sal e álcool e para DM de ingestão de açúcar.

“…In accordance with other studies, in our sample women showed to have more knowledge about nutrition. 9 This can be due to cultural issues regarding more interest in nutrition, or to the fact that women more often search for health care services and have more opportunities to discuss their issues. 9 This could explain the higher prevalence of female patients in this sample.…”

BackgroundIn Brazil, the prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is approximately 30% of the total population. In 2010, SAH was the cause of death of about 9.4 million people worldwide. A healthy dietary pattern is important to maintain proper blood pressure levels and, consequently, disease control.ObjectivesTo describe the knowledge and practices of hypertensive patients cared for at a public hypertension outpatient clinic, and its relationship with high-sodium food.MethodsWe applied a questionnaire to patients with questions related to sociodemographics, dietary pattern, frequency of ingestion of certain foods, and knowledge about their own disease.ResultsWe studied 221 patients, 56.1% of whom were women, and 53.8% had only elementary education. Their mean age was 57.7 ±13.5 years, and 75.6% of them reported having high blood pressure, and 11.3%, diabetes mellitus. Regarding dietary pattern, 62% used ready-to-use seasonings, but 94.1% reported not adding extra salt to their ready meals. Regarding patients' knowledge about high-sodium foods and SAH, only 8 patients had 100% of right answers, 37 patients had 73.8%, and 42 patients, 57% of right answers.ConclusionKnowledge about SAH prevention and high-sodium foods was insufficient. Based on this study's findings, more effective educational strategies targeted at this population can be developed.
