“…In Lithuania, temporal trends in the prevalence of risk factors and mortality from chronic non-communicable diseases have been explored in several epidemiological studies [ 13 – 15 ]. However, these studies were typically based on limited population groups or regions (either urban or rural), and therefore, did not present the national-level data.…”

BackgroundThis study aimed to assess the trends in the prevalence and levels of risk factors and mortality from main non-communicable diseases in the Lithuanian population aged 45–64 years during 1985 to 2013.MethodsData from four general population surveys conducted between 1985 and 2008 were used. All these surveys were carried out in Kaunas city and five randomly selected municipalities of Lithuania. Risk factors measured at each survey included regular smoking, overweight, obesity, arterial hypertension, and high levels of blood lipids. In total, data of 10,719 subjects (4,965 men and 5,754 women) aged 45–64 were analysed. Trends in standardized all-cause mortality and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and malignant neoplasms were estimated for both sexes by joinpoint regression analysis.ResultsIn 1985–2013, some favourable trends were observed in the age-standardized mean levels and prevalence of risk factors and mortality from main non-communicable diseases in the Lithuanian middle-aged population. The mean values of blood lipids (with the exception of triglycerides) and the prevalence of dyslipidemias declined. In women, mean levels of systolic blood pressure and body mass index decreased, while in men, the levels of these factors increased. The prevalence of arterial hypertension and obesity increased in men. The proportion of obese women decreased. Smoking prevalence increased in both men and women. From 2007 to 2008, significant downward trends, which were steeper in women than in men, were observed in all-cause, CVD, and CHD mortality.ConclusionsDespite the favourable changes in some risk factors and mortality rates, the prevalence of risk factors and mortality from main non-communicable diseases in Lithuania are still high. This indicates the importance of the ongoing primary and secondary prevention and optimal treatment of these diseases.

“…Portanto, apesar das propostas terapêuticas positivas descritas, sua abrangência ainda é restrita. Diferente de outros países, não se pode atribuir a redução do efeito período a uma melhora da abordagem clínica ao AVC 31 . O fator de risco mais importante para a DCBV é a hipertensão arterial.…”

Resumo Introdução A doença cerebrovascular (DCBV) é a segunda principal causa de morte no mundo e no Brasil. Objetivo Avaliar as tendências da mortalidade por DCBV em duas cidades brasileiras (Maceió e Florianópolis) com diferenças socioeconômicas extremas, entre 1981 e 2015, estimando os efeitos idade, período e coorte. Método Estudo de séries temporais da mortalidade por DCBV em indivíduos com ≥ 40 anos, empregando a ferramenta Web tool. Resultados A mortalidade por DCBV diminuiu com o tempo, aumentou com a idade e foi menor para gerações mais novas. O efeito foi igual para ambos os sexos. Houve diminuição da mortalidade nas duas cidades, mas a diferença foi grande e a mortalidade continua alta em Maceió. Com base na amplitude dos efeitos estimados, foi possível verificar que o efeito de coorte foi o termo mais significativo para explicar a variabilidade temporal das taxas de mortalidade por DCBV no período. Conclusão A comparação da tendência temporal nas duas cidades mostrou a importância da melhora das condições de vida, do acesso a serviços de saúde para prevenção e controle dos fatores de risco, assim como assistência hospitalar aos casos para diminuirmos a mortalidade por DCBV em todo o território nacional.
