Cardiovascular health in Brazilian state capitals

Abstract: ResumeObjective:to estimate the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health indicators in the Brazilian population, according to gender, age, education and region of residence. Method:cross-sectional study that used data from 41,134 participants of the Surveillance System of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel). The ideal cardiovascular health assessment considers four behavioral factors: not smoking; body mass index less than 25 kg/m2; practicing physical activity, eati… Show more

“…Results from most studies showed that participants with the highest education had a greater number of ideal CVH metrics, i.e. better CVH in comparison with those with the lowest education [ 4 , 9 , 33 , 39 , 48 , 49 , 53 , 56 , 73 ]. In a study by Foraker et al [ 39 ] individuals with a bachelor’s degree, had on average, a CVH score of 0.67 points higher compared with those with high school or less education.…”

“…Machado et al [ 55 ] found that individuals with less than high school education had lower ideal CVH scores than college-educated individuals. In a study by Matozinhos et al [ 56 ] lower levels of education were associated with a lower prevalence of ideal CVH, regardless of gender, compared to those with a higher level of education. In contrast, Ongunmoroti et al [ 60 ] found that lower education was associated with better CVH, while Benziger et al [ 30 ] and Zhao et al [ 73 ] did not find any statistically significant association between education and ideal CVH ( Table 3 ).…”

“…Quanto as internações e óbitos por regiões no estado foi possível observar a maior prevalência em números absolutos de internações e óbitos nas regiões mais densamente povoadas, como São Luís, Caxias, Baixada Maranhense, Imperatriz e Pindaré. Não foram encontrados trabalhos que abordam essas regiões, contudo, esses achados são compatíveis com o que Matozinhos et al (2017) que descreve o elevado índice de mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares nos centros urbanos (Matozinhos et al, 2017).…”

“…Desse modo, é importante trabalhar para reduzir a chance do desenvolvimento de DCV em indivíduos hipertensos, além de garantir boas condições de saúde cardiovascular para a população em geral, pois um estudo realizado com residentes das capitais brasileiras mostrou que apenas 3,4% da amostra apresentou padrão ideal de saúde cardiovascular. Os autores destacam que as DCV foram a principal causa de morte no mundo, tendo a HAS contribuído direta ou indiretamente para este desfecho (6) .…”

“…Embora a HAS não tenha cura, o monitoramento sistemático dos valores pressóricos, com uso de medicamentos adequados e adoção de hábitos saudáveis, associado ao acesso a serviços de saúde que ofereçam acompanhamento regular, podem dar boa qualidade de vida à pessoa hipertensa. Contudo, alcançar tais condições pode ser difícil, pois apenas uma baixa taxa da população apresenta fatores de saúde cardiovascular em um nível ideal (6) .…”
