“…We observed a direct association between prevalence of hypertension and age, in accordance with other studies 5,[10][11][12][13][14][15] . Regarding schooling, there was an inverse association with the prevalence of hypertension, which is in agreement with the results obtained in several studies 12,[15][16][17] .…”

“…However, approximately 60% of the obese individuals were sedentary, confirming that physical inactivity is a risk factor for obesity (OR = 3.47; 95% CI: 1.53-7.91; p < 0.01) as seen in the literature 22 . A higher frequency of smoking habit and alcohol consumption was observed among males, the same found in other studies 18,21,30 .…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between cardiovascular risk factors and the anthropometric values -body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Methods:It was studied 231 employees of Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil, 54,1% of them were men (21-76 years old) were measured. Glycemia, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, BMI, WC, waist-to-hip ratio and body fatness. It was also investigated smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity. Results:The prevalence of overweight/obesity in this population was high mainly in women. The abdominal obesity was observed in 74% of the women and 46,1% of the men. The average of BMI, body fatness, total cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides were significantly higher in men than in women. (p < 0,05). The sedentary lifestyle was a risk factor for obesity. Smoking and alcohol consumption were more common among men and normal weight volunteers. Most of the correlations between anthropometric indices and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were significant, but weak and the WC was the index that had the strongest correlation and that associated with the largest number of variables. It was observed that with an increase of the BMI and the abdominal fat, there was also an increase of the glycemia, triglycerides and blood pressure and a decrease of HDL. The metabolic syndrome was more common among men and overweight and obese volunteers. Conclusion:In this study, the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors increased along with BMI and WC. Demographic transition, mainly characterized by a decrease in fecundity and reduction in infant and preschooler mortality, has resulted in an increasingly higher life expectancy in the Brazilian population 1

“…Accordingly, it was demonstrated that 85.2% of public servants considered hypertensive showed to be overweight or obese (Sabry, Sampaio & Silva, 2002). Confirming, thus, that excess body mass is one of the most important factors associated with increased blood pressure in adults (Commitee, 1997;Rahmouni, Correia, Haynes & Mark, 2005).…”

Abstract--This study aimed to assess the blood pressure (BP), cardiac autonomic modulation at rest, in physical exercise and in the recovery in untrained eutrophic (E) and overweight (O) youth. The body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic BP-SBP (E: 109.80 ± 10.05; O: 121.85 ± 6.98 mmHg) and diastolic BP -DBP (E: 65.90 ± 7.28; O: 73.14 ± 12.22 mmHg) were higher in overweight and the heart rate recovery (%HRR) was lower as compared with E volunteers. The BMI was associated with SBP (r= 0.54), DBP (r= 0.65), load on the heart rate variability threshold -HRVT (r= -0.46), %HRR 2' (r= -0.48) and %HRR 5' (r= -0.48), and WC was associated with SBP (r= 0.54), DBP (r= 0.64) and HRR 2' (r= -0.49). The %HRR was associated to SBP, DBP and HRVT. In summary, the anthropometric variables, BP and cardiac autonomic modulation in the recovery are altered in overweight youth.
