“…Stiffening of the artery walls has prognostic implications and is associated with conditions such as Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH), Diabetes Mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia and, therefore, Metabolic Syndrome (MS). Furthermore, each of these conditions could be associated with the presentation of a cardiovascular event subsequently [1,8,35]. Cardiovascular diseases are known to be preceded by an asymptomatic period, suggesting the presence of subclinical vascular changes prior to symptom presentation [1,3,6].…”

“…In general, several studies reportedly associated SAH, DM and dyslipidemia with subclinical arterial disease, indicated by alteration of arterial wall stiffness, through PWV measurements [7,12,24]. In more recent SAH guidelines, it is recommended the evaluation of some biomarkers for better accuracy in the stratification of cardiovascular risk [6,35]. Among the biomarkers used, the one that reportedly evaluates arterial stiffness with more precision, and thus directs more appropriate conducts in cardiovascular protection, is PWV [11].…”

Background Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide. In this setting, Neck Circumference (NC) and Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) are simple and valuable tools for an early evaluation of cardiovascular risk through the assessment of upper body obesity and arterial stiffness. However, the associations between both measurements have not been systematically explored. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study representative of a neighborhood of Salvador-BA, Brazil. Data were collected between December 2016 and May 2019, and comprise 130 individuals for the present study. Variables such as age, sex, education levels and NC were analyzed to verify their associations with PWV status. Correlations between PWV and NC were performed to further depict their association. Results There was a predominance of patients with elevated PWV. The subgroup of patients aged 60 years or older presented the largest proportion of PWV alterations over normal results. There was a majority of women in the study population and sex could not determine PWV status. There was a predominance of concomitant elevation of NC and PWV in the studied population. NC measurements could distinguish PWV status from women and the study population. NC and PWV had a positive and statistically significant correlation for women and for the general population. Conclusion These findings suggest a possible association between upper body obesity and vascular homeostasis impairment. Therefore, screening patients with both measurements could prove relevant to better identify subclinical vascular perturbations and further delimitate prognosis related to cardiovascular events potentially associated with them.

“…The final BP value was calculated by taking the arithmetic average of the second and third measurements. 2 Measured SAH cases were considered to be those with average BP readings of ≥140 mmHg for systolic BP and/or ≥90 mmHg for diastolic BP, or current use of antihypertensive medication. 2 Measured SAH diagnosis was considered to be the SAH gold standard in our study.…”

“…1 Identifying SAH by measuring blood pressure is more accurate, but places a burden on research, because it involves health professionals, use of equipment, preparation of the patient and a standardized technique for measurement. 2,3 The costs for the public health system are lower when SAH is self-reported through interviews or questionnaires, this being a more accessible and rapid method for its estimation in epidemiological studies. This method, however, is more subject to errors: information depends on the participant having knowledge of previous diagnosis, as well as depending on the characteristics of the data collection instrument and how it is understood by the population to which it is administered.…”

Objective: to analyze the validity of self-reported systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in the adult population of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. Methods: this was a study of diagnostic accuracy with 576 adults aged 18 to 59 years; accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values were calculated in order to build the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: the prevalence rates of measured SAH (gold standard) and self-reported SAH were 19.6% and 16.6%, respectively; self-reported SAH showed 53.7% sensitivity and 92.4% specificity; sensitivity ranged from 29.9% in individuals under 40 years of age, to levels above 70.0% among obese individuals and those who reported having dyslipidemia; specificity varied from 70.0% in those who self-reported diabetes mellitus, to 95.3% in underweight patients; the area under the ROC hypertension analysis curve was 0.77 (95%CI 0.72;0.81). Conclusion: self-reported SAH in adults 40 years old and over was found to be accurate for use in studies in Rio Branco.
