“…Such conditions led to a social and working discrimination that perpetuated those differences, which may justify the worse educational and health conditions. Taking gender into account, a prevalence of hypertension was found to be 33% higher in women; with the same finding made in the cities of Campinas 15 , Santos 22 , São Paulo State, and also in the international literature 23 .…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of hypertension and control practices among the elderly. The survey analyzed data from 872 elderly people in São Paulo, Brazil, through a cluster sampling, stratified according to education and income. A Poisson multiple regression model checked for the existence of factors associated with hypertension. The prevalence of self-reported hypertension among the elderly was 46.9%. Variables associated with hypertension were self-rated health, alcohol consumption, gender, and hospitalization in the last year, regardless of age. The three most common measures taken to control hypertension, but only rarely, are oral medication, routine salt-free diet and physical activity. Lifestyle and socioeconomic status did not affect the practice of control, but knowledge about the importance of physical activity was higher among those older people with higher education and greater income. The research suggests that health policies that focus on primary care to encourage lifestyle changes among the elderly are necessary.

“…A prevalência de HAS foi de 25,7 (IC95%: 22,7-28,6), com maior predominância no sexo masculino (28,7; IC95%: 24,3-33,0) quando comparada à prevalência no sexo feminino (22,8;IC95%: 18,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)7). A prevalência de HAS apresentou tendência crescente ao longo das faixas etárias, com maior valor entre indivíduos com mais de 60 anos (58,6; IC95%: 49,6-67,4).…”

“…O risco de complicações de HAS também difere entre sexo, sendo maior entre homens quando comparado às mulheres durante a idade adulta; os homens tendem a desenvolver doenças cardiovasculares com maior frequência 22 . Em contraposição, as mulheres são mais preocupadas com estado de saúde e procuram mais assistência médica e, portanto, podem apresentar detecção precoce e maior controle da HAS quando comparadas aos homens 23 .…”

objective: Based on the analysis of indicators which express the rationale of the actions of the program, we developed a crosssectional study to assess the performance of a Family Healthcare Team as regards the care provided to individuals with arterial hypertension living in a small municipality. Methods:The study carried out was based on the analysis of the records (Record A) of SIAB (Primary Care Information System) of 418 individuals suffering from arterial hypertension, of 351 records stored in the primary healthcare center, and of 376 interviews with individuals living in the area under the team's care, in the year 2003. The following variables were studied: gender, age, family income, housing conditions, health services used, presence of diabetes mellitus, coverage and concentration of care. results: Women above 60 years of age prevailed. They were 65.7% of the cases. The arterial hypertension prevalence rate was 18%, and was different for both genders: for women it was 22.3%. The coverage was 64.1% for appointments with doctors, 32.4% for appointments with nurses, and 36.4% for home visits. The information on files revealed that 25.8% of hypertensive individuals did not receive care in 2003 and 52.7% did not receive care in the last semester. The concentration of care was below the recommendation. conclusion:The information showed that the organization of health care does not reflect the rationale of health surveillance in that services focus mostly on meeting spontaneous demand, which in turn reflects unpreparedness as to the use of information systems for the planning and evaluation of actions.
