Abstract: The aim of this paper (first of a series of two) is to present the main methodological aspects used in a cross-sectional study whose proposals were to establish the prevalence of arterial hypertension in adults in Ilha do Governador (a district of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and to examine its relationship to other risk factors, including those for cardiovascular diseases, so as to establish its control status. Sampling design (of clusters in strata, according to mean household income) is described in… Show more

“…Two articles assessed arterial hypertension control in the total number of hypertensives identified in the sample, reporting rates of 10.4% and 24.2% 14,15 . Klein et al 16 reported the value of arterial hypertension control in the entire population studied (hypertensives and not hypertensives) as of 8.8%, corresponding to 60% of the hypertensives treated (Table 1). …”

“…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 .…”

“…Procura-se atribuir essa redução observada nos outros estudos ao controle dos fatores de risco cardiovascular conhecidos (hipertensão arterial, tabagismo, obesidade, diabete melito, dislipidemias, sedentarismo etc.). No Rio de Janeiro vimos que a prevalência da hipertensão arterial sistêmica, por exemplo, no estudo da Ilha do Governador, era de 38% da população adulta, e apenas 10% dos hipertensos tinham seu nível de PA controlado, enquanto o tabagismo variava de cerca de 30% na população de alta renda até 50% nos homens de baixo nível socioeconômico 33 . O Programa de Controle da Hipertensão Arterial do município do Rio de Janeiro 34 , que já alcançou quase trezentos mil pacientes registrados em mais de dez anos de atuação, controla apenas 19% da população-alvo de hipertensos.…”

“…Nesta pesquisa, encontrou-se que, em relação à hipertensão arterial sistêmica, 70% de pessoas eram hipertensas. Ressalta-se que esta doença representa um dos mais importantes fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares, e esses dados corroboram um estudo transversal de base populacional na cidade de Pelotas, local deste estudo, e que mostrou a hipertensão arterial como um problema prevalente na população adulta (10) . (11) .…”
