Declínio da mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares no Município de São Paulo, Brasil, no período 1970 a 1983

Abstract

LOLIO, C.A. de et al. Decline in cardiovascular disease mortality in the city of S. Paulo, Brazil, 1970to 1983. Rev.Saúdepúbl., S.Paulo, 20:454-64, 1986. ABSTRACT: Mortality from all causes as well as from the great groups of cardiovascular diseases for the residents of the city of S.Paulo, Brazil, of the ages-group 40-69, for the years 1970 to 1983, has been analysed by means of the specific death rates. During this period a statistically significant decline was observed (28% on the average for ischemic heart diseases and 16% for cerebrovascular diseases). The death rates for the group 40-69 years old for both sexes were age-standardized and compared with those of 27 industrialized countries. The S.Paulo standardized death rates ranked almost always very high in the comparisons.

The Importance of Myosin and Actin Calcium-Dependent Regulatory Complex Markers in the Clinical and Diagnostic Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction

“…The cutoff value of 0.2ng/mL for troponin-T did not significantly change the results. It is important to point out that clinical and epidemiological characteristics did not correlate with elevated troponin-T, suggesting that the test provides additional information and may indicate more aggressive or invasive treatment in patients with unstable angina with elevated troponin-T on admission.The decrease in the coefficient of mortality from cardiovascular diseases between 1980 and 2002 coincides with the results obtained byLOTUFO & LOLIO (2000) for the state of São Paulo, who analyzed the secular trend of CMDCV between 1970 and 1992 and identified a decline in rates of mortality equal to 33.6% for men and 40.6% for women and raised as explanatory hypotheses the increase in the consumption of polyunsaturated fats, the decrease in cholesterol intake and the decrease in the prevalence of the habit of smoking. A study carried out by the Ministry of Health (2004), assessing the trend in the coefficient of mortality from cardiovascular diseases between 1980 and 2001, identified a decline in most regions, for both sexes and age groups SIMÕES (2002),.…”

Non-communicable diseases in Brazil: a flood of data is coming!

“…The mortality data was sufficiently accurate to show that a decline in cardiovascular diseases was occurring in Brazil, in contrast with other countries with the same level of economic development. 1 In addition, survey data made it possible to ascertain the following points: (1) premature heart disease rates in Brazil were higher than in affluent countries; 2 (2) cancer mortality among Japanese descendants in São Paulo showed differences according to the generation of migration, compared with individuals living in Japan; 3 (3) Brazil had the highest death rate due to stroke in the Western world; 4 (4) the burden of cardiovascular diseases was inversely associated with formal education levels among Brazilian municipalities; 5 (5) the decline in the risk of death due to heart disease was not taking place uniformly, such that the pace was slower among people living in the poorest neighborhoods, compared with the wealthiest ones in São Paulo; 6 and (6) the impact of the smoking habit on all causes of death in Brazil. 7 …”

Impact of nutritional counseling in reducing serum cholesterol in public health service patients

“…Dyslipidemias are among the most important risk factors for arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, together with hypertension, obesity, and diabetes mellitus 2,3 . However, national and international studies show that coronary events are reduced when intervention is made on multiple risk factors 4,5 . Total cholesterol and LDL-c (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) have a direct relationship with mortality and morbidity from coronary artery disease.…”
