“…Abdominal obesity was defined according to the International Diabetic Federation criteria, by the presence of waist circumference ≥94 cm in men and ≥80 cm in women. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation . The study was approved by the institutional research ethical review committee and written informed consent was obtained from participants before embarking on the study.…”

Gender disparity in hypertension prevalence is well established in developed nations; however there is paucity of data on the distribution of hypertension prevalence between genders in developing countries. We therefore examined gender differences in hypertension prevalence and cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of 352 healthy hospital workers in Nigeria. Mean ages of men and women were 37.2±7.9 and 44.7±9.1 years respectively. Thirty- five percent of participants were hypertensive with 54% on treatment and 70% had controlled blood pressure. Men had higher prevalence of hypertension (38.4% vs 33.0%) and prehypertension (37.6% vs 29.7%). Women had significantly higher odds of developing hypertension and of being on treatment. Mean blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose were higher in men while women were older, obese, dyslipideamic and had lower mean estimated GFR(p<0.0001). These findings indicate gender disparity in blood pressure among hospital employees; gender focused management of hypertension is therefore advocated for hospital employees.

“…Studies have documented an increase in the risk of CVD and a high rate of progression to hypertension in persons with prehypertension. In the prospective study by Jardin and colleagues, after 15 years of follow‐up, the prevalence of hypertension increased from 6.0% to 16.7%.…”

“…De outro modo, um estudo longitudinal 32 demonstrou que a pré-hipertensão aumenta o risco de hipertensão incidente, com taxas anuais variando de 8% a 20%. Uma coorte prospectiva conduzida por Jardim et al 33 , no Brasil, observou resultado semelhante com aumento na prevalência de hipertensão de para 18,6% após 20 anos de acompanhamento. Os pré-hipertensos apresentam uma maior probabilidade de se tornarem hipertensos e um maior risco no desenvolvimento de complicações cardiovasculares, quando comparados a indivíduos com PA normal, necessitando de acompanhamento periódico 1 .…”

Resumo Objetivou-se estimar a prevalência e fatores associados à pré-hipertensão e hipertensão arterial entre trabalhadores de saúde que atuam em setores de alta complexidade para pacientes críticos e crônicos. Foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico, transversal com 490 trabalhadores de saúde da macrorregional do norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. A variável dependente pressão arterial foi categorizada em normal, pré-hipertensão e hipertensão. Para análise múltipla, foi utilizada a Regressão Logística Multinomial. A prevalência da hipertensão arterial foi de 21,8% e da pré-hipertensão foi de 25,9%. As chances de se desenvolver a hipertensão arterial e a pré hipertensão foram maiores nos profissionais do sexo masculino, com idade ≥40 anos, em trabalhadores com vínculo empregatício concursado e naqueles obesos ou com sobrepeso. O uso de medicamento contínuo e o trabalho no turno noturno estiveram associados à hipertensão e pré-hipertensão, respectivamente. A prevalência de hipertensão arterial no grupo de trabalhadores foi menor do que a da população brasileira. São necessários estudos com trabalhadores desse grupo e investimentos em medidas preventivas e que incentivem a mudança para um estilo de vida saudável.

Background Little is known about patient profile changes in medical facilities in our country, leading to this study to describe and compare patient profiles in 2010 and 2022. Patients and methods This was a cross-sectional study with new outpatients aged 15 years and more seen in the cardiology department of the UH-GT. Measurements included height, weight and body mass index (BMI). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded. Quantitative data are presented as the mean with standard deviation, and categorical one as proportions. Statistical tests were the t test to compare means and chi-test for categorical variables. The level of significance was set to 0.05. Results The sample consisted of 515 new patients (199 in 2010 and 316 in 2022) with 59.1% female in 2010 and 60.1% in 2022 (p = 0.821). We noticed an increase in hypertension (59.1–71.8%, p = 0.003) and a decrease in tobacco smoking (from 13 to 05.4%, p = 0.002) and stroke (from 05.8 to 02.2%, p = 0.033). Height increased significantly from 1.59 m to 1.66 m, p = 0.002. SBP and DBP showed significant decreases in their means from 155.43 to 144.97 mmHg, p = < 0.001 for SBP and from 95.53 to 89.02 mmHg, p = < 0.001 for DBP. Conclusions Cardiovascular risk factors showed different trends with decreasing tobacco smoking, similar to systolic and diastolic blood pressure, albeit with an increase in hypertension prevalence. Other CVrf values increased. Awareness campaigns must be reinforced and maintained to obtain their decrease.
