“…Concerning the modifiable variables, increased BMI was one of the major predictors associated with arterial hypertension. Cross sectional studies have shown such association and the damage to the health of the quilombola population, 3 whose inadequate lifestyle choices may be a result of low income and education. 28…”

“…The quilombola communities are inserted in a context of social vulnerability due to low socioeconomic level, which directly influences healthcare and the development of chronic diseases. 3 Studies have shown that systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is one of the most relevant diseases among the quilombola populations, and can be associated with genetic factors. However, Brazilian studies could not associate genetic polymorphism with increased blood pressure levels among the quilombolas, which may be associated with the intense Brazilian miscegenationa.…”

BackgroundThe quilombolas are groups formed by black ancestry individuals, living in a context of social vulnerability due to low socioeconomic level, which influences health care and the development of chronic diseases.ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension and its association with cardiovascular risk factors in the quilombola population in the State of Sergipe, Brazil.MethodsStudy design was cross sectional, involving the administration of a questionnaire to individuals aged ≥ 18 years, in 15 quilombola communities of the State of Sergipe, Brazil. A value of two-sided p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultssA total of 390 individuals were evaluated, 72.3% of whom were women, with a mean age of 44.7 years. The prevalence of hypertension was 26% (with a confidence interval of 95% [95% CI]: 22-30), with no significant sex-related differences. The age was associated with arterial hypertension (95% CI: 1.03-1.06), systolic (95% CI: 1.04-1.07) and diastolic (IC 95%: 1.01-1.04) arterial hypertension. The level of body mass index was associated with arterial hypertension (95% CI: 1.00-1.11) and diastolic arterial hypertension (95% CI: 1.03-1.17). Economic class was associated with diastolic arterial hypertension (95% CI: 1.22-5.03).ConclusionThe prevalence of arterial hypertension in the quilombola communities was high. Its association with cardiovascular risk factors indicates the need to improve access to healthcare services.

“…Resultado análogo a estudo transversal realizado com indivíduos adultos oriundos de 10 comunidades quilombolas da Bahia, o qual encontrou percentual de 77,8% para o consumo de frutas e 81,4% para legumes e hortaliças. 22 Da mesma forma, obteve-se altos percentuais de ultraprocessados, como bolacha/biscoito e refrigerantes, os quais são ricos em açúcar, óleos, gorduras e substâncias sintetizadas em laboratório a partir de alimentos e de outras fontes orgânicas, constituindo-se em fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de DCNT. 18 Quanto ao consumo de embutidos ou enlatados, os resultados foram positivos, demonstrando que a maioria referiu não consumir esse tipo de alimento.…”

Objetivo: avaliar os fatores associados ao desenvolvimento da Hipertensão Arterial (HA) em indivíduos residentes de uma comunidade quilombola. Método: estudo transversal, realizado com 74 participantes. Os dados foram coletados por meio do preenchimento de dois formulários, sendo eles: sociodemográfico/socioeconômico e sobre estilo de vida. Realizou-se análise estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: predominou o sexo feminino, raça preta, casados, ensino fundamental incompleto e a classe econômica C2. 37,8% autorreferiu presença da HA, destes, 22,9% eram mulheres e 14,9%, homens. Obteve-se maiores percentuais de não obesos, não tabagistas, não alcoólatras e praticantes de algum tipo de atividade física. Quanto aos hábitos alimentares, observou-se o consumo de frutas, legumes, hortaliças, temperos industrializados, alimentos ultraprocessados e processados. Quanto as recomendações sobre alimentação saudável, 64,9% afirmaram nunca ter recebido orientações e 48,6% não procura o serviço de saúde.

“…Modifiable factors related to lifestyle have often been associated with SAH and, although they have been studied, percentages of knowledge, treatment and control of the disease are still low, both in developed countries as in developing countries. To control SAH, individuals must have knowledge about the disease, since the lack of it stands out as a barrier in the search for orientation for the proper management of the disease (7) . This study is justified by the information gap about etiology and development of SAH on PLWHA and the influence of ART, the HIV itself and the risk factors for SAH appearance in these individuals.…”

Systemic Arterial Hypertension in people living with HIV/AIDS: integrative review

et al. 2017

Objective: To analyze scientific productions about the relationship between HIV and Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Method: Integrative literature review in six databases, held in March 2016. “AIDS” and “hypertension” were the keywords used in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. We found 248 articles and selected 17. The categories formulated were “prevalence of SAH in PLWHA,” “risk factors for SAH in PLWHA” and “adverse events of antiretroviral therapy (ART) that contribute to HAS.” Results: There is no consensus whether HIV and ART influence the SAH development, but there are several risk factors for SAH among PLWHA. It was observed that protease inhibitors medicines influence SAH the most. Conclusion: Guidelines for SAH prevention must be performed in all individuals, however, in PLWHA, they must focus on characteristic risk factors of this population.
