Hypertension bearers with high risk/big risk of cardiovascular diseases and socioeconomic and health indicators

Abstract

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To correlate the number of hypertensive patients with high and very high risk for cardiovascular diseases with socioeconomic and health indicators. METHODS An ecological study carried out from the National Registry of Hypertension and Diabetes (SisHiperDia). The variable “hypertensive patients with high and very high risk” was correlated with the Human Development Index, health care costs and services, average household income per capita, per capita municipal income, number of hospital admissions in SUS, number of medical consultations in the SUS and specific mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system, considering the 27 federative units of Brazil. The data was processed in software IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics, version 22.00. The statistical analysis considered the level of significance p<0.05. RESULTS Brazilian states with more hypertensive registries in high/very high risk spend more on public health, fewer people reach the elderly age group and more deaths from diseases of the circulatory system (p<0.05). The very high risk stratum correlated with more physicians per population (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Systemic arterial hypertension has a direct impact on life expectancy and also on the economic context, since when it evolves to high and very high risk for cardiovascular diseases, it generates more expenses in health and demand more professionals, burdening the public health system. Monitoring is necessary in order to consolidate public policies to promote the health of hypertensive individuals.

Sleep and hypertension

“…Studies satisfied below criteria were eligible: (1) were published in a peer-reviewed journal in English; (2) reported the associations of sleep status and hypertension; (3) provided risk estimates (e.g., risk ratios (RRs), odd ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), regression coefficients and standard errors) or sufficient data to calculate these estimates.…”

“…Hypertension, also known as high or raised blood pressure, is a condition in which the blood vessels have persistently raised pressure [1]. It is a global public health issue, as well as an important factor for cardiovascular diseases [2][3][4]. It has been reported that one in four men and one in five women have raised blood pressure.…”

Hipertensão arterial: Uma revisão sistemática / Hypertension: A systematic review

“…A hipertensão arterial (HA) é caracterizada como uma doença crônica não transmissível (DCNT), que compõe uma das principais causas de morte prematuras em todo o mundo, afetando principalmente indivíduos de baixa condição socioeconômica. A HA apresenta uma trajetória clínica de progressão lenta e assintomática, que quando não controlada afeta negativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes e seus familiares, trazendo inúmeras limitações e empecilhos para as atividades diárias e o desencadeamento de sintomas clínicos (COSTA, 2018). No Brasil, a HA se classifica como um sério problema de saúde pública, tendo grandes contribuições para a mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares, sendo um de seus fatores de risco mais importantes (BLOCH, 2016).…”
