“…The lowest percentages, around 10%, were identified in microregions of the Rio Grande do Sul state and in the municipality of Tubarão, Santa Catarina state. Most of those articles (n = 7) assessed arterial hypertension control in hypertensives undergoing antihypertensive treatment, reporting rates ranging from 10.1% to 52.4% 4-10 . Arterial hypertension control of individuals knowing their hypertensive condition (n = 3) ranged from 31.3% to 57.6% 11-13 .…”

“…Most of the population-based studies presented in this review assessed arterial hypertension prevalence and treatment, as well as the knowledge about the disease, in the populations studied 4-16 . Other studies have assessed relevant subjects, such as biosocial aspects influencing compliance with antihypertensive treatment, knowledge and beliefs about the disease 19,22,24-27,29 , and health care practices 14,17,20,21,34 .…”

Hypertension is a major public health problem due to its high prevalence and cardiovascular complications. Its treatment is aimed at reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, its goal being to maintain blood pressure levels below 140/90 mm Hg. Hypertension control in Brazil is low, and nationwide rates are unknown. The objective of this review was to provide an overview on hypertension control in Brazil from publications in a database. We identified 45 publications. In population-based studies, the highest control rate (57.6%) was reported in a multicenter study in 100 municipalities and the city of São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo state (52.4%), while the lowest rates (around 10%) were identified in microregions of the Rio Grande do Sul state and in the city of Tubarão, Santa Catarina state. In conclusion, the studies assessed showed a wide variation in hypertension control rates. It is worth noting that the comparison between studies was a major limiting factor, because of the different methods used.

“…In Brazil, a nationwide study 6 on cardiovascular risk factors is currently under way, but most investigations are restricted to communities [4][5][6][7] , workers 8 or Brazilian states 9 . In Minas Gerais (MG), few studies 10 have been conducted, and the risk profile of people living in the urban areas of small towns is still unknown.…”

SummaryObjectives: To estimate hypertension prevalence and identify associated socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropometric variables.Methods: urban area of Formiga, Minas Gerais state, and registered with the Family Health Program (Programa Saúde da Família -PSF), which covers 94% of the population. Two hundred and eighty-five subjects (131 men and 154 women) were was used to collect socioeconomic and demographic data, as well as information on alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity level. Using appropriate techniques, trained interviewers with at least one year of experience in health care collected data and performed pertinent measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, plus waist and arm circumference). Conclusion: Hypertension prevalence was very high in the adult population registered with the PSF in Formiga, representing a major public health problem. Intervention programs that boost physical activity, promote compliance with drug treatment, and focus on hypertensive subjects unaware of their condition are needed. Results

“…Mortality due to acute myocardial infarction in the age bracket from 35 to 44 years in Brazil is approximately 3 times higher in men and 4 times higher in women than in men and women in the United States; mortality due to cerebrovascular diseases in the same age bracket is, respectively, 5 and 6 times higher among Brazilian men and women 2 . In Brazil, the prevalence of hypertension among women in levels similar to or even greater than those of men in distinct populations of the country is noteworthy, and this may be confirmed in half of the 2 dozen articles on this topic published during the period 1980 to 1999 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] .…”
